Bringing family on a MBJ overnight

Hello all, I have a 24 hour layover in Montego bay next week and was think about bringing the family. I have heard of people bringing family with on overnight but I have not done it yet. Should I call the resort and verify it is ok since I am staying on Delta's dollar? Is there other etiquette I should know of?

Thanks

Look at the layover guide in the content locker. I took my wife there once. No big deal.

Since it’s all inclusive, MBJ resort will charge you extra for an additional person. How much depends on the time of year. I think they quoted me $275, last time I was there in 2018 and thinking abt brining my wife for a future visit. Definitly call the resort first.

They will charge you double that because even though your layover is only 24 hours, it is two nights thus $240. Add the outrageous Jamaica taxes and entry/exit fees $173 plus cab fare to and from the airport $80 and you are spending almost $500 per person to the very substandard RUI resort. No thanks.

I would not bring my wife and daughters there. Some of these perps have been employees of a gated resort (lifeguard, mx etc.) I’ve stayed there and I think our hotel is a dump anyway. Just my 2 cents.

I just came back from there. We can do better. I would much rather buy drinks and food and stay at a nice resort.

Just got back from Punta Cana. Not sure why people like all inclusive. The food is god awful. The all-included drinks are even worse. Everything that I drink at home was not included and sold at an all-inclusive resort. Basic drinks like gatorade, Corona, Johnny Walker Black, Captain Morgan, etc. The only drinks included were the no-name booze, draft Presidente, and the sodas from the soda gun.
