The cost of travel has become extremely high due to the high cost of fuel. In Jamaica cost effective accommodation in the form of short term rentals is becoming increasingly popular.

This is where persons stay in small apartment, cottages or condos that are located in the commercial and tourist districts such as Kingston, Ocho Rios and Montego Bay Negril.

Most of these small accommodations come with all the luxury that is associated with a hotel. These include:

Pool
Security
Cable TV
Internet etc.

At Jamaica Vacation and Travel Services we have a list of short term accommodations that you may want to consider when booking your next trip to Jamaica.

If you can't decide between short term rentals and a hotel, you really need to think about your needs and preferences. If you don't plan on vacationing for that long, a short term rental does sound like a good idea.

For anyone interested in coming to Jamaica for vacation I would first suggest that you not spend the ridiculous amount for all-inclusives, even though they tell you about the great savings. who is really going to eat and drink that much? Come on, and then you have to pay crazy amounts for the activities they offer. I suggest a nice bed & breakfast or hostel. There are pretty nice ones in the Ochi Rios area. I personally stayed at Paradise Jamaica (you can search for it online) and it was really nice. I mean nothing will really compare to thebig hotels, but when you are going on vacation you just want somewhere nice and comfortable to fall asleep. You will save sooooooo much by going this route, and have a chance to really experience what Jamaica has to offer, rather than the fakeness and pretending that goes on in some of those big hotels.
