Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

In short - we do not recommend driving. Driving in Jamaica requires adapting to the local driving rules and habits. Driving in Jamaica is on the left side of the road (opposite of the U.S). This requires a certain level of adaptation and dexterity. There are many unspoken rules of the road that can be daunting to someone who has never driven in Jamaica. Please drive at your own risk, if you decide to.

Question

How does currency / money work in Jamaica?

Answer

Most major credit cards are accepted at larger establishments. However, cash will be needed for parts of your trip. Although you can use USD at a lower rate, we encourage you to exchange cash prior to landing in Jamaica. This can be done at your local bank or credit union in the United States. Should you need to transfer money while in Jamaica, you can visit the local Western Union or other money transfer locations. Also, please note, many Jamaican prices at the local market and in the taxi are negotiable. So feel VERY comfortable with talking prices down if you feel they are unfair.

Question

Currency?

Answer

Jamaica’s currency is the Jamaican Dollar although the USD is widely accepted and most restaurants/bars/shops/excursion companies accept credit cards. We recommend exchanging currency with your local bank prior to arriving to Jamaica as you will get the the best value using their dollar compared to ours. Do NOT exchange money at the Montego Bay Airport as they do not offer competitive exchange rates.

Question

- PASSPORT - Water shoes - Sunscreen - Bug spray and bug bite spray - Bug Spray repelling wristbands - Lip balm with SPF - Aloe Vera - Goggles - Motion sickness meds (if needed for boating) - Portable water bottle - Waterproof bag or pouch - Camera with charging cords - Cash

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please email us at tally.sofy@gmail.com by July 1, 2022.

Question

For international guests, how will we communicate once we are on the island?

Answer

We both have T-mobile and all their plans now include free texting and internet in Jamaica. If you have T-mobile, you will likely be able to communicate quite easily. If you don't have T-mobile, I would recommend you download the free app called "Whatsapp" before getting to the island. WiFi is included with your hotel/villa stay and Whatsapp uses the internet to call and send messages. Using Whatsapp will allow us to keep in touch when necessary.
