Going on my first all inclusive to Jamaica...Help please!
in Travel
Hi! My husband and I are going on a trip to Jamaica in a few weeks...We have never been on an all inclusive trip before. I know I will have to bring lots of sunscreen, and bathing suits. LOL But aside from that, do any of you ladies have some advice or tips that I might not think of?
Should I be getting some kind of extra vaccination? Someone said bring medicine in case I get sick to my stomach. So I should use bottled water for everything like brushing my teeth?
My husband is going to be working a bit while we are there since the trip is a work trip. I am looking forward to just relaxing, reading, and having some good food and drinks without the kids.
Re: Going on my first all inclusive to Jamaica...Help please!
I've been to Jamaica twice and stayed mainly on the resorts both times. I drank bottled water, but was not nervous about brushing my teeth with sink water. Since I mainly stayed on the resort, I did not look into vaccinations (although I already have Hep A, B, and Flu from other travels). I always bring things like Imodium and Cipro (again leftover from other travels to riskier places), Tylenol, Advil, etc just in case.
An all-inclusive vacation to Jamaica is so relaxing and safe - have fun!
My tip is to bring enough dressier clothes (especially for your husband). We thought that a beach vacation in Jamaica would require only shorts, sandals, and swimsuits. Wrong. Men need pants and closed-toed shoes in order to eat dinner at a lot of the resorts. We weren't prepared for that (although we obviously should have been). It was annoying.
Thanks everyone!
My husband will have some nicer clothes with him due to having to work a bit.
I didn't think of bug spray.
And good to know that you weren't super worried about the water.
I can't wait to go!!
