Jamaica is one of the Caribbean's most popular islands, especially for all-inclusive resorts, and starting late in 2016 it also became the region's capital of overwater bungalows. There are now two amazing overwater bungalow resorts on Jamaica, and we are hoping to welcome more in the future.
Fans of all-inclusive resorts will be happy to hear that both of the Jamaican resorts are part of the famous luxury Sandals chain, so guests pay one price and nearly everything they can think of (including premium items and excursions) is included. The bad news for most of us is that the overwater bungalows are quite expensive, starting around US$2,000 per night for two people. Even more challenging is the fact that unless you book at least 3 nights, the rate you'll be quoted will be over US$6,000 per night. Yikes!
If that is out of your budget like it is mine, you should strongly consider a normal room at one of the Sandals resorts, which start around US$400 per night. If your budget is lower than that you should check this list of cheapest all-inclusive Caribbean islands, and look for a great package deal.
Looking at Bora Bora.
Looking to escape an Iowa winter in 2022. Like Intercontinental, so far.
Any suggestions?
Amy,
Literally all of the Bora Bora resorts are fantastic. My advice is to choose the best one that you can afford, or the one that seems to be offering the best deals at the time you are ready to book. The InterContinental chain is top notch. I can’t afford the Four Seasons either. -Roger
