Best Way to Travel to Jamaica on a Budget

Want to know how to travel to Jamaica on a budget? Check out this tips and hacks for your debt-free Jamaican vacation.

Jamaica was always on my list of places to visit. The photos I’ve seen of Jamaica were so beautiful. Like its Caribbean neighbors, Jamaica is known for its turquoise water, its pure white sand and its tropical weather. It is an island paradise, where sun-seekers and beach-goers flock in winter months to escape the colder weather. Jamaica is a place of picture-perfect dreams. It is a land where palms trees sway to the beat of Afro-Caribbean music and aromas of fragrant spices fill the air.

Plan your Trip During Winter Months

Jamaica is a popular honeymoon destination that has marketed itself as an all-inclusive getaway. Despite the promotion of luxury travel in Jamaica, the tropical island has all the key ingredients of a budget travel destination. During my 5-day/4-night vacation to Montego Bay, I found that traveling to Jamaica on a budget is not only possible, but it is also relatively easy. Traveling to Jamaica during the Winter months will save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

All-inclusive Accommodations in Montego Bay

I spent five full days in Jamaica, my price included airfare and airport tranfers. I stayed at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay Jamaica. My room had an outdoor soaking tub that was so luxurious. This luxury all-inclusive resort in Jamaica embraces the Jamaican culture, manicured gardens with roaming peacocks, authentic Caribbean food, and afternoon tea traditions. Just a short ferry away lies the resort’s private offshore island with Bali-inspired beach cabanas, a Balinese-style pool with a swim-up bar and whirlpool, relaxing spa, and an authentic Thai restaurant. They even have over-the-water bungalows.

There were so many activities and dining options at the resort, we took full advantage of it and only ventured out with the locals twice. Utilizing all the activities that are available at an all-inclusive resort will help you save money on food and entertainment.

Chukka Caribbean Adventures

Chukka Caribbean Adventures offers the best of Jamaica, with adventures for all ages. You can fly through the rain-forest hundreds of feet in the air with zip-ling, swim on horseback, explore the countryside on an ATV, or take a relaxing float down a river. We did all of the above. The tour started early in the morning, with a shuttle picking us up from the resort early in the morning. The tour even included a full lunch and a beverage of choice. This was the most adventurous tour I have ever experienced. IRIE!!!!
