Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica?
None of the 12 resorts on this list allow pets. Policies at Ocean Coral Spring, Riu Palace Aquarelle, and Grand Palladium Jamaica specifically state “pets are not allowed.” If you’re traveling with a service animal, contact the property directly before booking to confirm accommodations.
Which resorts offer free cancellation?
Cancellation and prepayment policies vary by room type across all properties — there’s no one-size-fits-all policy. When you search for specific dates on Booking.com, the cancellation terms for each rate plan appear before you confirm. Look for “free cancellation” filters to narrow options at Moon Palace Jamaica or Riu Palace Tropical Bay.
What’s the best time to visit Jamaica for all-inclusive stays?
November to mid-December offers the sweet spot — lower prices and smaller crowds before the peak season hits. Peak season runs mid-December through mid-April, when rates surge and resorts fill up fast. Summers (June to August) see higher humidity but cheaper rates. Sandals Ochi Beach staff recommends November for the perfect beach holiday.
Do any resorts include airport transfers?
Yes. Couples Swept Away and Sandals Ochi Beach both include free airport shuttles. Moon Palace Jamaica offers shuttle service from Norman Manley Airport (KIN), around 63 km away. Iberostar Waves Rose Hall, however, does not include transfers — you’ll need to arrange those independently. Check each resort’s transportation section when booking.
Which adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica are best for couples?
Couples Swept Away leads with a 9.6 Location score on Negril’s Seven-Mile Beach, plus a free airport shuttle and topless sunbathing areas. Sandals Ochi Beach offers 16 restaurants with included scuba diving. Ocean Eden Bay scores highest overall at 8.9, with 14 restaurant options and a 9.2 Staff rating. Each targets romance differently — choose based on your vibe.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay and most Riu properties also welcome late arrivals until midnight. Couples Swept Away starts check-in at 4:00 PM — the latest on this list.
