Check-in is at 3:00 PM. If you arrive before then, your room may not be ready, but the resort will securely store your luggage so you can start enjoying the pools, beach, and amenities. We suggest packing a swimsuit or quick change of clothes in your carry-on so you can jump into vacation mode immediately.
If your room does not have expected items such as hairdryer/steamer/iron/extra drinks don’t be alarmed. The hotels have reduced items in rooms to sanitize less. Just ask and they will send anything like this to your room on request.
TRAVEL BEST PRACTICES
Remind credit card companies that you'll be traveling out of the country so that your cards don't get flagged as fraudulent

Pack a Yeti type cup to keep your drinks cold around the the pool and beach
Pack plenty of sunscreen, reef friendly is recommended
Remember all liquids in your carry on luggage cannot be over 3.4oz.

💛 Packing With Purpose – Jamaica 🇯🇲
As you prepare for your trip to Jamaica, consider leaving a little extra space in your suitcase to pack with purpose.
Many local schools and community organizations greatly appreciate small donations that are often difficult or expensive to obtain on the island. If you feel led to give, items such as basic school supplies (notebooks, pencils, crayons), children’s books, hygiene products, or small over-the-counter essentials are always meaningful and appreciated.
Even something simple can make a big impact.
If you choose to bring items, we recommend keeping them new and unopened and packing them in your checked luggage. Once in destination, you may give them directly through your resort (many have established community partnerships) or via a trusted local organization.
Giving is completely optional — your presence and support of the destination already matter. But for those who love to travel intentionally, this is a beautiful way to share a little kindness while enjoying your vacation.
