To say we had a blast would be an understatement. The people! The culture! The food! The hotel! Everything was amazing!! At least when we went considering this was before the world shut down due to Covid. Would I visit this hotel again? Absolutely! For more information on dining there, you can visit – restaurants at the hotel. I do have plans for us to return to Jamaica, but we will be trying out a new hotel. Couples Tower Isle.

My 50th Birthday in Montego Bay, Jamaica!

First thing to do was to get our passports. We also enjoy cruising and after reading about the horror stories of what happens if you get stranded in a foreign country – without a passport, well….

I’m a planner and it’s something that I truly enjoy doing when it comes to planning trips. I usually plan “big trips” at least a year in advance. While searching for all inclusives in Jamaica, I came across the Holiday Inn in Montego Bay and since we try to stay at Holiday Inn’s, I decided to give this one a try. I’m glad that we did.

It’s insane to see how expensive things are now. The price is more than double at the hotel compared to when we visited 3 years ago. I will leave a breakdown of what we spent for this vacation at the conclusion end of this blog.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Grab your favorite drink and come along (with us) on this trip. I hope that you enjoy!
