Jamaica

Toes in the Sand

I think it truly is the people and culture of Jamaica as to why I travel to this island the MOST! And being only 3 hours away on a direct flight from Charlotte is a bonus. I mean who doesn’t want to have their toes in the sand by lunch time today?

3 Main Areas:

1. Negril

• Best beaches, including 7 Mile Beach and Bloody Bay Beach
• West coast – the water is calmer and clearer and the sunsets are amazing
• The capital of laid back
• We combine South West Coast with Negril

2. Montego Bay

• Where the international airport is located
• Tourist hub of Jamaica
• Best nightlife (the “Hip Strip”)

Montego Bay and Royal Caribbean

Montego Bay and Royal Caribbean are best for your quick weekend getaways because they are right by the airport. But if the sounds of a plane overhead isn’t your vision of paradise, we’ve got several other resorts within an hour or more to the airport.  I personally love all of the food options at Montego Bay (all of my personal favorites at one resort) but the private island at Royal Caribbean is where I love relaxing in a private cabana and lounging in the sun.

• Montego Bay has a 5-minute airport transfer while Royal Caribbean has a 10 minute airport transfer.(BMW private transfer to/from airport with Elite butler and club level rooms.)
• These two resorts have access to 21 restaurants between the two properties, LOTS of bars including an overwater bar called Latitudes and one on the private island.
• Beach Club Atmosphere: Lively and social with a private beach.
• There is an overwater chapel and indoor air conditioned wedding chapel on resort plus a bridal suite.
• Montego Bay is a newly renovated property with a main swim-up pool, gym, spa, and restaurants. And Royal Caribbean is steadily adding new rooms and suites…stay tuned!

Sandals Ochi Beach Club

If you want a large resort, our first recommendation would be Sandals Ochi Beach Club with 529 rooms. This is a fabulous choice for destination weddings because you have several Sandals properties close by, including a Beaches for families. Golfers? Sandals Ochi Beach Club, which is closest to the Sandals Golf and Country Club is our #1 recommendation. Golf greens fees and transfers are included. The course is right on the property!

Sandals Royal Plantation

Looking for an intimate luxury property? Sandals Royal Plantation is your best choice. The resort has only 74 suites, all with an ocean view, and amazing food and service. You can also go to Sandals Ochi Beach Club anytime you like, which is just a 5 minute walk or short 1 minute shuttle ride away.

Sandals South Coast

Looking for unique and off the beaten path? Sandals South Coast sits on 50 acres of unspoiled southwest coast in Jamaica. The resort is surrounded by a 500 acre nature preserve and has 2 miles of gorgeous beach.

• 9 restaurants & 7 bars including an overwater bar called Latitudes
• Has an overwater chapel and known for its over-the-water bungalows
• All rooms offer ocean views (except new rondovals)
• First resort to offer swim-up Rondoval w/ semi private pools too
