Need A Place To Stay?
If you prefer spontaneity and have not planned your stay (not recommended) then after your customs clearance you can ask to be guided by customer care representatives that will guide you to the Ground Transportation Hall where an assortment of hotel booking offices are located including those of Sandals, Ritz Carlton, Holiday Inn, Half Moon and the Couple Resorts.
If you prefer to stay somewhere else you will find several hotel and resort agents at the exit who can in turn further guide you on your stay options. However, it is always advisable to make your stay arrangements beforehand as this will give you much more time and peace of mind for enjoying your holiday in Jamaica to its fullest.
