Travelling can be quite the costly feat, and many people often forego vacationing altogether because they simply can’t afford it. Jamaica is a hotspot for many tourists and has attracted a multitude of wealthy visitors over the years. That is not to say that the luxurious island only caters to the wealthy. If you are looking to travel to Jamaica but are a bit strapped for cash, here is a list of a few budget friendly hotels that will help drive down the costs.
Budget-Friendly Hotels in Jamaica
The Rockhouse, Negril (West End)
Laid back, with a subtle modern touch, the Rockhouse combines traditional Jamaican style with up to date modern features such as spas and a top-notch guest service. The staff are very friendly, and the cliff edge views provide for some adventure for diving enthusiasts, and all of this comes in at a low cost of just under $130 per night for a double room.
Palms Resort, Negril
On the beach of Negril, many of the affordable hotels are not in the best of shape, but Palms Resort has managed to hold its own over the years and remains in fairly good shape. For a little under 90 dollars per night, you can stay in one of the many double rooms and enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, coupled with the exciting beach life that Negril has to offer. If you are a lover of drinks and the beach, the bar is located just a few feet away from the breathtaking waters, giving you a spectacular view while you unwind.
San San Tropez, Portland (Port Antonio)
Rich in nostalgic glamour, San San Tropez offers comfort and space for a budget of no more than $150 per night. It is very close to the beach at the Frenchman’s Cove and the Blue Lagoon being just a short walk away from the hotel. It used to be a hotspot for the elite, but now also caters to the smaller budget tourist looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation.
Harmony Hall Cottages, Ocho Rios
Ocho Rios is home to two beautifully built cottages that exude artistic glamour, with one cottage tucked in tropical greenery while the other overlooks crystal blue ocean waters. The cottages come complete with modern quirks that include Wi-Fi, but retain much of the historic ambiance that Ocho Rios is famous for.
