Best Time To Go To Jamaica For An Unforgettable Vacation
Category: Our ResortsApril 25th 2024Back to our Sandals Blog > > >
A trip to the Caribbean comes with near perfect weather, and year-round temperatures from the mid-70s to high 80s. The weather in Jamaica is no exception. But there is more to consider than just the weather when asking: When is the best time of year to go to Jamaica?
Many travelers say that the best time to go to Jamaica is November until mid-December, when resort and flight deals are great and peak season hasn’t arrived yet. If you don’t mind the crowds though, your best bet is to visit Jamaica between mid-December and April, when the weather is optimal for a beach vacation.

With three major cities and 14 parishes, tons of tourists travel to Jamaica annually and visit its hotspots like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril.

Peak season in Jamaica
The peak season for those visiting Jamaica usually begins mid-December and goes through until April of the following year. In this high season, Jamaica is a hub of activity and you’re sure to find lots of tourists flocking the popular sites and beaches - and there’s plenty of them in Jamaica. From families, to couples and groups of friends, everyone is intent on making the most of their vacation on an island with near perfect temperatures.
If you’re heading to Jamaica at this time of year, be sure to pack sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent for your trip, because you will need them in the Caribbean sunshine. Also, book your resort at least three months in advance to ensure that you’re able to stay at your preferred location. The best hotels and resorts get booked up quickly for peak season.

Low season in Jamaica
Low season for visiting Jamaica goes from July until October. Low season travel can mean great deals on your entire vacation, including flights, resorts and even water sports. It is also much easier to get a seat at a dinner table of a popular restaurant without having to book it beforehand. Due to more appealing rates, low season travel is ideal for travelers on a budget.
Shoulder season in Jamaica
The shoulder season falls in between peak season and low season. This season occurs from about Mid-April to July and November until mid-December. The weather in Jamaica at this time is as sunny as the high season and rates are better throughout, so it is easier to strike a deal in your favor. You’ll also have more of the island to yourself, but there will still be enough going on to keep you occupied.
What is it like to visit Jamaica each month of the year?

Jamaica summer vs winter: a different kind of winter blues...
Picture: Only Beaches all-inclusive Caribbean resorts offer the
Winter isn’t a term you’ll hear often when visiting the Caribbean. You could say it's always summer in Jamaica.
The region only recognizes two seasons, wet and dry, which mark the main differences in climate at various points in the year. The wet (or rainy) season is usually from July to October. Once that’s gone by, you’ll be left with the dry season which means more consistent weather and less tropical rainfall.
July is the hottest month in Jamaica, with a maximum temperature of 91�°F. January is usually the ‘coldest’ - although you’ll still find highs of 82�°F.
Though Jamaica is a small island, you’ll notice slight differences in temperature in the various towns.
Liquid sunshine: rainfall in Jamaica
Picture: We know our islands intimately and are ready to let you in on all the secrets that paradise has to offer with our own
The rainiest month in Jamaica is October, which is towards the end of the wet season. Booked your vacation in Jamaica this month? Don’t worry! Tropical rainfall will come, and it will go, leaving plenty of hours left in the day filled with sunshine and warm temperatures.
The driest months seen in Jamaica are February and March, which see the least amount of rainfall. These months fall smack in the middle of peak season.
When comparing the rainfall in the different towns in Jamaica, overall you can expect less rain in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, compared to Negril. This shouldn’t scare you away from this amazing beach paradise though!
See the average rainfall by area below to pick your best time to visit Negril, Ocho Rios or Montego Bay.
Major events in Jamaica throughout the year
If you’re looking to attend a particular event or are interested in something unique to do on vacation, then this might determine when the best time to travel for you is. Jamaica is home to many fascinating events throughout the year, some of our favorites include the following:
Calabash International Literary Festival
This literary festival normally takes place around February, and was founded in 2001 by Colin Channer, Kwame Dawes and Justine Henzell �' three people whose love for the arts inspired them to launch this biennial festival. It consists of three days of poetry, spoken word and music and visitors and locals are free to stop by, free of charge but are welcome to donate to the worthy cause. Several international authors have participated in the festival including Sir Derek Walcott, Salman Rushdie, Zadie Smith, Jamaica Kincaid, Edwidge Danticat, Kei Miller, Eleanor Catton, and others.
Jamaica’s carnival
St. Elizabeth horticultural society flower show
Since 1963, this agricultural show has taken place in the parish of St. Elizabeth, in the town of Black River. It has been held every Easter Monday since its inception and is one of the biggest flower shows on the island, with a new theme celebrated every year.
International kite festival
This event is also called the St. Ann Kite Festival, because it is held in the parish of St. Ann (where Ocho Rios is located) every Easter Monday. The International Kite Festival is indeed a fun day for families; kite flying competitions are held throughout the day as well as a dancing and bun eating competition. By evening time, the stage transforms into a classical reggae show, and you’ll likely be stuffed beyond belief with authentic Jamaican eats by the time you’re ready to leave.
Montego Bay’s Yacht Club Easter Regatta
As Easter rolls around the corner, the Morgan Bay Yacht Club hosts their Easter Regatta along the North Coast of the island. It is usually held in April, preceded by the yacht club’s annual J-22 International Regatta and the Great Yacht Race.
Jamaican curry festival
This festival is a display of Jamaican talent, cuisine and culture. A variety of seafood such as crab and lobster is curried as well as other delicacies such as chicken, shrimp, goat and even fruits such as mangoes. Jamaican chefs are the culinary experts contributing to the festival held in May.
Ocho Rios jazz festival
This festival is a few weeks of fun and exciting jazz shows, presentations, exhibitions and concerts which take place throughout the town of Ocho Rios and the capital of Kingston. The festival takes place in June and has been staged since 1991.
Reggae Summerfest
This summer festival which normally takes place in July, has been in existence for 27 years features a range of Jamaican and Caribbean artists. Past events have featured acts such as Chronix, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Romaine Virgo, Koffee and Spice. Throughout that week, several activities are held under different themes such as the All-White Blitz Party and A Sound System Explosion.
Marlin tournaments
This deep-sea fishing tournament has been held yearly for the past 55 years. The tournament usually attracts 40-50 yachts and, in 2018 alone, more than 180 anglers came out to try their hand at catching the biggest Marlin in Jamaican waters. The competition is held in the first week of October.
Heroes Day
This public holiday is celebrated every year, on the third Monday of October. Activities throughout the day are held in memoriam of the seven national heroes of Jamaica; Marcus Garvey, Sir Alexander Bustmante, Samuel Sharpe, Paul Bogle, George William Gordon and Nanny of the Maroons, who is the sole heroine. These heroes contributed to the island’s freedom from slavery and to the general improvement of the social conditions of the land.
Restaurant Week
Restaurant Week is a 7-day period where residents and tourists are encouraged to head out and sample the dishes and cuisine prepared at the various restaurants on the island. This event caters to foodies and families and extends to over 100 restaurants in Jamaica. Restaurant week gets underway in November.

Some of our destination weddings
Sandals Grande, St. Lucia, Large Group, Destination Wedding
I wanted to share (with permission) these gorgeous pictures from a destination wedding 2 weekends ago we had the privilege of being a part of and booked by Lia. She chose this over the water wedding chapel in St. Lucia with friends and family there to help celebrate. I love her flower crown and her dress and how happy she is. Picture perfect. Congratulations Kate and Curtis! We are so happy for you!
Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
Lia was very helpful for us in planning our destination wedding to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We had gone through a few other travel planners first who didn't seem nearly as interested in our needs. We really appreciated the way Lia helped us navigate through some of the complexities, including the local laws of Jamaica and the planning with the resort itself. Even once we got to the resort and ran into a few snags, Lia was able to quickly get those resolved very quickly. We would highly recommend her for anyone planning a destination wedding or any other vacation. Thanks, Lia, for making our destination wedding the most special day of our lives.
Playa Del Carmen, Large Group, Destination Wedding
Wedding planning can be stressful and overwhelming, but if you're planning on having a destination wedding, especially with a large group, I would highly recommend using All Inclusive Weddings!
From beginning to end, they help with every step; i.e., finding the venue, creating a custom wedding website, and booking all your guests. Their office manager, Linze, was very responsive, helpful, and so sweet! Everything turned out smoothly and we couldn't be happier!
Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa, Destination Wedding
Stephanie was our incredible travel agent for our destination wedding! She helped with every aspect, quick communication and AMAZING coordination with over 50 different people over 8 states. Stephanie from the beginning, gave options and talked through so many questions I had. I could not have asked for a better right hand woman! 10 out of 10 for Steph, we could not appreciate & trust her more!
Incredible Agent For Our Destination Wedding! 10 Out Of 10 For Steph!
Such an amazing week of memories,laughter & love! Thankful for our people and truly blessed beyond words ♥ï¸â™¥ï¸
Royalton Blue Waters, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Destination Wedding
My husband and I worked with the company's owner, Lia Vincent, and office manager, Linze.
Lia & Linze were both very warm and friendly, and from day one, we could tell cared about us as a couple and our destination wedding success, rather than just seeing us as more clients. I get stressed out easily, so planning my own wedding alone was overwhelming, even though my wedding was 10 months out. I ended up working with Linze, and we pushed up the wedding date with a little less than three months to prepare. I was initially nervous about using a travel agent / wedding planner, but it turned out to be a huge blessing, because it took away a lot of the stress and worry I was experiencing. A bride has so many things to worry about, so having someone else bear the brunt of the work and worry about the nitty-gritty details was a HUGE relief for me.
Why spend hours analyzing vendors and reading reviews, when you can have a pro do it? If you want an intimate wedding, if you want to elope, or if you want a huge all-out, go-into-debt-for-years wedding, and if you're in the market for a wedding travel agent, Lia and Linze should be at the top of your list!
The day of the wedding, everything was so beautiful, and so much better than I could have done on my own. Lia's company finds the best local vendors, so you know you'll get great value in your package, and what's nice is her company offers different packages for different budgets. We worked with and met AMAZING vendors! The reception was so elegant that as soon as I entered the reception, I felt amazement, joy, and relief because being the worrywart and control freak that I sometimes can be, it was hard for me to trust someone to somehow make everything perfect. Lia was able to give us the dream wedding we couldn't have done ourselves. Our family and friends were also amazed, and repeatedly told us how great the wedding, reception, and food were at the resort.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Destination Wedding
I used Stephanie Tindall to help me choose the perfect resort in PV Mexico for where my guests would stay for my destination wedding. She went round and round with me helping me find the perfect location. It had to be nice, trendy, not to outrageously expensive and within a certain mile radius of a marina where my guests needed to go for the wedding. She helped everyone get booked and when things became a little hectic as tracking sometimes can get. She took care of the details. One of my guests had passport issues and she helped talk them through what to do. It was such a relief to have a point of contact for travel related issues so I didn't have to be stressed about it. She did this all with a patient, positive? upbeat and kind attitude through the entire process. I highly recommend her.
Thank you again,
Darby Brown
UNICO, Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Wedding
Unico was wonderful and the perfect place for our wedding! It was quiet and the ceremony was better than expected. We had it on the gazebo and it was away from everything, which was great. The photography was beyond our expectations. We have not received our video yet, but assume it will be just as great. I also used the in house vendor for make up and hair, and was not disappointed. The wedding coordinator, Nazareth, was so sweet and on point. We used the local host quite a bit with WhatsApp, which was quite convenient. Food and drinks were amazing. We were disappointed that 2087 restaurant was down for half of our stay for repairs. We ate at Mi Carisa on our wedding night, which was the perfect choice. Service was also best there. We scheduled 2 tours through the hotel, a sunset cruise and Chichen Itza express. The boat tour was nice. Chichen itza tour was too fast and ok. We really appreciate your recommendations and help booking our wedding and stay. It was wonderful! Thank you again, Juliet and Jason
Hard Rock Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
We just got back from an AMAZING wedding weekend yesterday. I can't begin to thank you enough for your help and support during the entire process. Everyone had a great time. It truly was one of the best days of my life and I can't believe how stress-free it was once I got there. Thank you Thank you!
Secrets Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I have never used a travel agent before Lia. I have always been the "I can do everything cheaper by myself on the internet" type person; most of the time, it works great. When my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding, we were not sure about anything - number of guests, length of stay, etc; we also have very demanding jobs, requiring constant travels up until the week before our wedding. So we thought that a travel agent may be a lifesaver; as it turned out, she was. Lia was endorsed as an expert in destination weddings on the American Express Travel website. Although she lived over a 1,000 miles away, I felt comfortable.
As I am not a "girly" person, wedding planning was not my thing; however, party planning and event coordination are. Lia and I treated this "event" like a business and I loved that about her; I needed someone to be truthful and provide honest advice. As it is with my job, I like corresponding via emails because I can have all the information on hand and in writing at all time; Lia always accommodated that, and always very promptly. I'm not talking about several emails over a few months; I'm talking about over the course of over a year. Lia was there to provide support when I had a hard time reach the wedding coordinator; she was there when I freaked out at the resort regarding my brother's return transportation (as it turned out, my brother spoke with the wrong transportation company); she was organized to be able to provide me with spreadsheet of all guest arrival information; she always submitted my requests to Classic Vacation and the resort promptly. James and I cannot thank Lia enough to make everything go smoothly for the biggest event of our lives. All 48 of us had such a great time that we absolutely see another group vacation in the future.
UNICO 2087, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Read the full details about this destination wedding in our blog post, Mark and Casey Simpsen's Destination Wedding at UNICO 2087. This couple was also featured in the UNICO 2087 Resort blog post, UNICO Destination Wedding, Casey Shelley & Mark Simpsen
Beach Palace Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Lia being referred to me saved me so much wedding planning mental anguish! I had tried with a few other travel agents before I had two different people give me Lia's name, and with each of the previous TAs they had to look into things and call me back (I'm still waiting for those calls). Getting in touch with Lia was a whole new experience, she answered all my initial questions in that first phone call, had so many recommendations, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was doing. By the time we hung up the first phone call, I had decided on a destination and venue (per Lia's suggestion). She was a God send! A year later, we are still having people talk about what a great trip it was and people are always amazed by what a great turn out we had. We ended up with about 60 people, all booking through Lia and everyone had a flawless experience. One even asked for her name when planning her destination wedding a few months later and was just as pleased! Lia told me a lot through the planning process that I was such a laid-back bride, but it really was because she left me nothing to worry about. She answered any question I had, was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and helped me plan the most perfect wedding ever. I wish I could re-live it all again!!
Cozumel Palace, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Throughout the process we felt completely at ease as she handled some of the most important details of planning for this special time. From her first recommendations of resorts and destinations to her help arranging travel for our closest family and friends we always felt grateful having Lia on our side. We highly recommend Lia Vincent and Palace Resorts for your destination wedding!
Le Blanc Spa Resort, Destination Wedding
I am truly so grateful for you and all of your help! Le Blanc was amazing! NOTHING could have been better, except maybe the weather, but the staff, food, and service were above and beyond! We will definitely go back there!! Love, Love, Love you for all of your help - Can NOT thank you enough!!
Beach Palace, Cancun, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
Lia was a phenomenal help from the beginning. She was referred to me by a friend, and I was incredibly thankful that we used her. When we started planning, we became overwhelmed with all of the information that is available.
We met with her for about 45 minutes one afternoon, took her pictures of spaces we had seen online and liked, and gave her a list of our "must-haves", a list of things that would be nice but didn't matter too much, and a list of things we absolutely did NOT want. She kind of thought about things for a minute, and then listed 3 resorts that fit every single one of our needs. She then ran sample pricing from EVERY location our guests would be traveling from so we could figure out what best fit our and our guests' travel budgets. After about a million more questions from me, we finally settled on her initial recommendation, the Beach Palace in Cancun. As we went through the process, any time I had a question, problem, or was just worried about something not being right, she was my go-to person. I'm not kidding, she would answer me in like, less than an hour 99% of the time. She even took my file home one weekend to give me more time to figure something out before she ran credit cards and got it booked. She was a Godsend!
Riu Palace, Riviera Maya, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband Cameron and I got married at the Cozumel Palace in June of 2014 and could not have been more happy with our experience. A destination wedding was definitely the way to go for us and Lia was a great asset in our planning.
Lia with Lia helped us plan our destination wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had a total of 11 people and she helped each of them set up their arrangements. From the beginning she was so helpful and always quick to respond. She made the entire process a breeze. She communicated with the wedding coordinator at the Riu Palace and made sure everything was just like we wanted. We did not have any issues at all, thanks to Lia and all of her thorough planning. Each of our guests bragged on her and said how easy it was to work with her. I would recommend Lia for all of your planning needs whether it be just a short vacation or a destination wedding. She knows what she is doing and will make sure all of your questions are answered and that you have the best vacation.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
My husband and I got married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico right off the beach. It was pure bliss, and everything I could have ever dreamed of! I may be biased, but destination weddings are certainly the way to go and thanks to our wonderful Travel Agent Lia Vincent at Vincent Vacations, we were able to find the perfect place! I had the opportunity to be able to edit the straight out of camera photos from my wedding! Here is a glimpse of our wedding day in paradise!

Excellence, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Destination Wedding
"It was beautiful! Everybody had a fantastic time!"
The staff was wonderful, the rooms were gorgeous, and the food was AMAZING! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and if you have any brides that want a beautiful wedding on a budget, The Excellence Punta Cana would be my number one recommendation. Emy and Livia were fantastic and everything was just PERFECT! Chris couldn't even believe how wonderful it was.
Thank you again for all of your help!!!
Dreams, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Destination Wedding
Our Dream Wedding!
As soon as Jimmy asked me to marry him, I knew we would want a destination wedding. We love to travel, and we love the beach, so there was no more perfect place to start our lives together than a beach in Mexico!
I am not the wedding planning type, and I knew that with a destination wedding, we could get someone else to plan the details for us. Luckily for me, my friend Lia at Vincent Vacations specializes in Destination Weddings. Lia had taken care of trips for us in the past, and I knew she was the perfect person to help me plan this trip. I was right! She helped me look through destinations, and we found the perfect spot: Dreams in Puerto Vallarta! The package came with a wedding planner, who took care of the details for me. 21 of our friends and family came with us, and everyone loved the resort. Our party ranged in age from 7 to 82, and everyone agreed it was an amazing trip. There were activities for the kids, and plenty of excursions for everyone to choose from. The staff was wonderful, and pampered us from the time we arrived. One of my bridesmaids had a broken foot and was on crutches, and was in a wheelchair some. The hotel staff assisted her anytime she needed it, including carrying her and her wheelchair up and down large flights of stairs. They were amazing! All the rooms are ocean front, with beautiful views. Jimmy and I stayed in the "Preferred" tower, and our room came with a great balcony with a hot tub! Most of our guests stayed in the other tower, but the resort is small enough, this was not a problem at all. They all loved their rooms as well. The wedding planner met with me in advance to work out the last minute details and timing. When our wedding day came, everything went perfectly. We got married on the beach right in front of the ocean. We had a sound system and a dj who played all the songs that we picked out in advance. My Dad is a minister, and he performed the service for us. We had 21 in our wedding party, but it felt like a much bigger wedding because lots of people watched the wedding. You could see people everywhere on their balconies watching, which made us feel like rock stars. We had a Mexican band that played a few songs after the wedding. The wedding came with a photographer and videographer who did amazing job! We took pictures right after the wedding, then we had dinner which also came with the wedding. We had steak and chicken which tasted great. Of course, I also asked them for chips and guacamole. (I love the guacamole in Mexico.) They were happy to oblige. They provided the wedding cake after which was amazing. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed for another 4 days, and it was paradise. I could not have asked for a more beautiful place to get married, or a less stressful way to do it. Thanks Lia and Vincent Vacations for making our special day an amazingly unforgettable experience!

Grand Fiesta Americana, Los Cabos, Mexico, Destination Wedding
This was the best and easiest decision we made about our entire wedding! Lia at All Inclusive Weddings is the absolute best, extremely intelligent, hard working, and so caring. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client throughout the entire process. We had about 120 people coming to our Cabo wedding and even had to switch resorts, visitors coming from all different states and even Europe. She was calm, and kept the bride and groom calm! Every detail was taken care of and it was made to be the most perfect wedding!
Finest, Playa Mujeres, Mexico, Destination Wedding
I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work to arrange the hotel and transfers for Ashley and Robbie's wedding. It was perfect and everything that she had ever dreamed of! The resort was amazing! We had great food at all the restaurants. The staff went over the top to accommodate any needs that you could have had! Everyone felt safe and the beaches are beautiful. Since it's more private you don't get the crazy vendors walking the beach trying to sell you stuff. Our family loved it so much and we defiantly will be planning another vacation. You will be the first I call if we need help to organize something! Thank you again for everything
We have been in business since 2013, and booking destination weddings since 2002!
