What Else to Know About Jamaica Adults-Only All-Inclusives

When booking all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica or elsewhere, we recommend making sure you understand what’s included and what’s not included (e.g. amenities such as tours and childcare may be offered at an additional cost).

Also, some adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica require a minimum stay of 3+ nights (and will frequently offer some sort of discount for longer stays). If there appears to be no availability for your dates, try adding more nights and see what happens.

Where are the best Jamaica adults-only all-inclusive resorts located?

Expect to find the top adult-oriented stays with the most amenities clustered around Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios. These destinations tend to offer the best access to international airports, the top beaches on the island, and lots to see and do in a relatively small area.

What is the cheapest time of the year to go to Jamaica?

The cheapest time to visit Jamaica is hurricane season, of course! Hurricane season usually starts in May/June and may last into November.

Expect to pay the most for the best Jamaica adults-only all-inclusive resorts during high season (November through January), and the least from August through October.

If you’re looking to balance cost and weather, consider booking your stay for April/May or October/November.

Final Thoughts

Jamaica is one of the most diverse and awe-inspiring islands in the world. From coast to coast, the wildlife, tropical forests, and world-class beaches found here are sure to leave you breathless.

But it might just be the people, culture, and irresistible island rhythm that keep visitors coming back year after year.

Add in Jamaica’s mouth-watering cuisine, breathtaking coastline, and warm tropical embrace, and we’re not surprised so many of the world’s best all-inclusive resorts call Jamaica home.
