How to Save on Vacations to Jamaica
Many people take vacations to Jamaica to laze on the beach, or lounge poolside with an engrossing novel and an umbrella drink. That is a great way to unwind, but if you're inclined to do activities such as water sports and tours, it is worthwhile to book them in advance rather than on arrival. It's fun to be spontaneous, but it pays to plan ahead as there are usually significant discounts and special offers on activities booked in advance.
Travelling at off-peak times of year is a well-known tactic for saving money on travel, and there are lots of destinations where you can thoroughly enjoy yourself at any time of year. Jamaica, and many of its Caribbean brethren, probably isn't one of those places. Shoulder season is fine, but the rainy season is very wet and extremely humid. Additionally, some attractions and local businesses shut down in the off-season, and many hotels and resorts schedule renovations and repairs at this time of year. Although rock-bottom specials can be tempting, you'll get a lot more bang for your vacation buck in the shoulder season or even at peak times.
December to April is high season in Jamaica, when cheap vacation deals are most difficult to find. The rainy season is is primarily May and June, but also September to November, overlapping with hurricane season between June and November. Rains are frequent and heavy in summer, leading to hot and humid conditions. Shoulder season is the best time to book Jamaica vacations because you won't be paying peak prices, but the weather will be much more enjoyable than in the off-season.
