Getting there and around

Arriving: Sangster International (MBJ) in Montego Bay is 10 to 30 minutes from most Montego Bay resorts and about 1h30 from Negril.

  • Pre-book airport transfers. Licensed taxis have red PP license plates, so look for them.
  • Montego Bay to Negril takes about 1h30 by road. Plan a shuttle if guests split between the two.
  • Driving is on the left and roads are winding. Most guests use drivers rather than renting a car.
  • Agree taxi fares before you set off, in US dollars or Jamaican dollars.

Booking rooms for your wedding group

  • Most guests come in high season (December to April). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
  • Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
  • You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
  • Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
