When thinking about a honeymoon, most people at least consider an all-inclusive. But is it right for you?
Here is a quick look at whether or not an all-inclusive is a good fit for you:

​Worth It Because:

1. Food and Drinks Included - and that typically means ALCOHOL. All inclusive resorts have come a long way when it comes to food! At high end resorts, food is fresh and delicious! With coffee bars, local cuisine and many dining options to choose from, the all inclusive option is great for leaving your wallet in the safe and splurging on meals!
2. If you are thinking about an all-inclusive in the Caribbean consider that most beaches are open to the public. At an all-inclusive resort, you are more likely to find a secluded or private beach for a more romantic setting.
3. ALL inclusive - many of the resorts offer complimentary airport transfers, in-room dining, watersports and credit toward the spa or excursions!
4. Stress free - you don't have to worry about foreign exchange rates, language barriers, or unexpected costs at the end of the trip - the price is agreed upon up front with no surprises.

Might not be for you if:

1. You are seeking a local and authentic experience. Yes, you can take excursions, but you likely will not be immersed in culture throughout your stay.
2. You may feel like you are paying for things you won't use. For example: alcohol is included, but if you aren't big drinkers, it could feel like a waste of money.
3. You prefer to see and do something every day. The best value of an all-inclusive happens on property while using their offerings, once you start leaving the resort and paying for additional services, you start to decrease the value.

​Is an all-inclusive right for you? Let me know!

I struggle with sharing this since some of these places are still unspoiled by tourism. So please, treasure this information and be respectful of the culture and local presence at these sites. 

Lover's Leap - a romantic tale about Mizzy and Tunkey; two lovers who jumped from the cliff together rather than being forced to live apart (a Jamaican Romeo and Juliet of sorts!) The cliff views are magnificent and the restaurant serves delicious Jamaican food. 

Windsor Mineral Spring aka "fire water" - The spring has fire burning atop the water's surface. Guests can get a massage and experience this unique phenomenon. Unregulated and not a common tourist spot, this is a local and authentic experience.

Reggae Falls - A natural and rustic way to experience a gorgeous waterfall with beautiful hills in the distance. This location is mainly visited by locals who like to keep it a hidden gem.

Irie River Park - Jamaica offers so many waterfall locations, it's hard to choose, but Irie River Park has something for everyone. Rope swing, picnic area, waterfalls, lush natural beauty - a true delight!

Reach Falls - Hike to falls, enjoy the cascading waterfall with lush greenery and a picnic area.  If you dare to hike upstream, you can see the underwater cave. Beware, there are "unofficial tours" and this is part of the rugged, natural landscape of Jamaica.
