Should I take the bus trip or fly from Montego Bay Jamaica? |

| This is up to you but I can provide some information which might help. First off the bus trip is free. I just returned to Negril in December 2002 and the road is done. The trip was one hour 25 minutes with a rest stop on the way. Now that the road is done, I don't see why flying would be worth it. The ride is a great chance to see several cities and learn more about Jamaica. Vacationing at a resort can lead to some isolation from your actual destination so unless you have day trips planned you may want to take the bus just so you can say you've seen the "real" Jamaica. They usually stop for a red strip after an hour so it can be a nice break after your plane ride. On our return trip we were lucky enough to have a driver who asked if we'd mind if he told us about what we were seeing. It was great because we learned about each city, they people, their education system and government programs. The flight takes 20 minutes and I think it's about $90.00 per person each way. Several guests took the bus in but then flew back so they could extend their stay at Sandals by a few hours. |
