Flight
SFO-MBJ and LAX-MBJ
We recommend taking an overnight/redeye flight on Wednesday (10/23), arriving at Montego Bay airport on Thursday (10/24). From there, it's about a 1.5hr drive to Negril. See the travel notes below for more info on getting to Negril!
Travel Note
Montego Bay
We really appreciate everyone making the trip out to Negril! Since the flights for most guests and drive from MBJ airport to Negril are long (1.5 hr), we recommend tacking on a night or two in Mobay on the front or back end of your trip if you can. Mobay has all your tourist conveniences and is known for its all-inclusive resorts. For adults-only resorts we recommend: Secrets Wild Orchid, or Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall. If you don't mind kids, the Hilton Rose Hall has great food or Royalton Blue Waters has 3 water slides. If you want to ball out - Couples, Beaches or Sandals are legendary spots. You can't go wrong with any of the beaches on this strip though!

Hotel
Samsara Cliff Hotel
We recommend staying here! This is where we'll be having our welcome drinks, and it's right next door to the wedding venue (Pattoo Castle). Use the reservation link under "discount code" for room-only rates! We DO NOT recommend booking the garden side rooms as they are across the street from the main hotel area. There is a bar and restaurant on site (food and drinks available for purchase). You can also buy the room + all-inclusive package on the Samsara website or by emailing them. They may let you add it on once at the hotel, but no promises here! Ms. Marcia serves a MEAN rum punch. This hotel sits on the cliffs and does not have beach access but overlooks the ocean. They offer a shuttle 2x a day to their sister hotel, Legends, to visit the 7-mile beach.

Legends Beach Hotel
This is the sister hotel to Samsara Cliff Hotel. Stay here if you prefer an affordable option right on the beach (opposed to the cliffs at Samsara). There is a bar and restaurant on site (food and drinks available for purchase or add the all-inclusive experience). They have a shuttle that runs to/from Samsara 2x a day - which would also get you right next door to Pattoo Castle for the ceremony.
Hotel
Rockhouse Hotel & Spa
For our bougie guests! This hotel is about a 8min drive to the wedding site, Pattoo Castle. We are not able to provide transportation to/from this location, but the hotel can coordinate taxis & other transportation. There is a bar and restaurant on site (food and drinks available for purchase) and they offer a shuttle 2x a day to their sister hotel, Skylark, to visit the 7-mile beach.

Other All-Inclusives in Negril
While we recommend adding the all-inclusive option at Samsara or Legends, we recognize you might want a more luxurious experience while in Negril. The all-inclusives in Negril are absolutely beautiful, but keep in mind you may be separate from the rest of the wedding party and responsible for coordinating transportation.
Rental Car
Sixt Rent a car - Montego Bay Airport
For the brave drivers! MBJ airport has a rental car agency when you exit the airport. If you like the flexibility and are brave enough to drive on Jamaican roads this is a good option! *Keep in mind there isn't parking at the wedding site.*
