Long Weekend Getaway in Montego Bay
When: Thursday, November 7, 2024 to Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Where: RIU Palace Resort and RIU Montego Bay
TRIP OVERVIEW
My friend Gail is hosting this trip. There are two all inclusive hotels for you to choose from, RIU Palace Resort and RIU Montego Bay. Both hotels/resorts are adjacent about 10 minutes from Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay (MBJ). Here is the main difference between the two, RIU Palace is the higher priced resort with the option to visit all three properties adjacent to each other (RIU Palace, RIU Montego Bay, RIU Reggae - there are no accommodations reserved for RIU Reggae). RIU Montego Bay is the moderate priced resort and more party atmosphere. There is no option to visit the other resorts unless you purchase a day pass, which can be pricey. Both are nice, it's just about personal preference. Note that all entertainment is at the RIU Montego Bay. That said, those individuals that stay at the RIU Palace will walk next door for all entertainment. All hotels/resorts are adult only, all occupants must be 18 years +. All inclusive refers to all meals and alcoholic beverages included as well as RT transfer from/to airport from the resorts/hotels - taxes and tips are also included . Shore excursions are not included and can be purchased separately, see more below.
A passport is required for entry to Jamaica and should be valid at least six (6) months beyond your return date.
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
Flights can be bundled with your cruise package via the booking form for a $100 processing fee or purchase on your own - use the Sangster International Airport (code=MBJ). Airport and hotel transfers can also be arranged.
