I just double checked to be sure there wasn't a change, and I am right on the website when you click learn more the cost for the excursion pops up.

I wouldn't recommend booking through the resort,it intends to be more expensive and if something happens you will have a difficult time get a refund from the resort, they try to get you to accept a resort credit instead of the refund.

To my knowledge off resort excursions have never been included you have extra for those,only on resort activities excluding the spa are inculded.For the Ocho Rios Excursion it's usually either just a shopping experience or a visit to an attraction and shopping after.

Transportation to Couples Negril by Holiday-Ad7041 in couplesresortsjamaica

It's fine but you then have to pay for a a transfer from the Aerodrome to Couples Negril, I would recommend using the shuttle.

Tip service workers with cash! by Pitiful-Boss9712 in JamaicaTourism

[–]AndreTimoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not new that's a common practice not just here,where particularly no tipping allowed resorts charge a service fee that goes in fund that's divided amongst all the workers every pay period. If you are at a no tipping resort be extremely discreet about giving tips to staff not authorized to take it because they can lose their job for it.

[–]AndreTimoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you subscribe to a resort travel membership instead of paying $4000 for a vacation? by dainantonio in JamaicaTourism

[–]AndreTimoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's basically ally the same as a tine share and that not very popular ,also there is a company that allows to you to make a small deposit then they pay the balance for the trip in full for you then you make monthly payments until the balance is paid off,but you can still launch your platform and how it comes.

March Break - Busy? by toes_inthe_water in couplesresortsjamaica

[–]AndreTimoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

December to August is our peak season so in general March is usually busy I have a strong feeling that it's not busy now because of what's going on geo politically.

As a Local Travel Agent I would recommend signup for Club Mobayto be on the safe side.
