How are the roads in Jamaica
The roads are not paved as they are in the US and roads are not as flat. Therefore, the travel from Montego Bay to Negril is more windy and bumpy than one may be used to traveling.
Can you tell me about the Travel Advisory?
The travel advisory for Jamaica has been at a level 3 for the past several years, though it does fluctuate between a level 2 and level 3.
Our coordinator as well as friends from the region have shared that resorts themselves are safe. Traveling into town and markets, especially unattended, is discouraged.
What time is check-in and check-out
At both Beaches and Sandals, check-in is at 3:00PM. If you arrive prior to check-in, hotel staff will safely secure your luggage and inform you when your room is ready. While waiting, you can freely enjoy the property's amenities, as your all-inclusive vacation has already begun! Check-out is at 11:00AM, so if your flight departs later, you can easily secure your luggage with the hotel and still enjoy the amenities.
