🏨Where to stay
Beachfront all-inclusive resorts — the best fit for a Gulf family or couple wanting comfortable seclusion.
⚠️Tips & warnings
Book a rum or sugar-estate tour as a package that includes transport — don't venture outside the resort perimeter alone without a trusted driver.
📍 On the ground
Getting around: Sangster International Airport (the island's largest gateway); Uber operates here, plus JUTA for organised tours.
Halal & prayer places: A genuine second option after Kingston — the Islamic Dawah Centre houses a prayer space and small halal restaurant (Atbaqu Samir).
Local safety: Dense tourist-police patrols along the tourist strip; noticeably safer than Kingston, but avoid non-touristy inland neighbourhoods at night.
Cost figures: 2026 prices: an all-inclusive resort $180–350/night for two, a meal on the tourist strip $15–30, a snorkelling tour ~$50–80.
