So, you've already managed to book everything right down to the smallest details - vacation work leave, check; flight, check; airport transfer, check; top notch resort, check. So, now that you can't wait to experience a vacation in one of these rejuvenating resorts in Jamaica, the next question is, what do you bring with you? You definitely do not want to carry your entire apartment to your vacation, unless you want to be mistaken as someone relocating to the island. On the other hand, there are some people who take the concept of 'traveling light' a bit too far - a good book and a swimsuit.
In order to pack efficiently for your Jamaica trip, you have to first decide on what you are going to do there. Are you just going to get pampered and have a massage every day? Are you getting pictures of the historical towns? Are you going sunbathing and swimming? Will you sample all of the country's sumptuous delicacies? Your attire, which will make up a majority of your luggage, should be determined by what you will do on your vacation.
If you will be spending most of your time in resorts in Jamaica, then one (or two, whichever you prefer) piece of clothing you should pack a good amount of is swimwear. Jamaica does not only have a lot of beautiful beaches, but chances are, you may also chance upon resort pools and even waterfalls in Ocho Rios. If you are going to have a weeklong vacation in Jamaica, try to pack at least four swimsuits. Three of them would be the swimsuits you may have to actually wear and the extra is just for emergencies, in case a strap breaks or the ones you are wearing rips. Moreover, you would also want to pack a sufficient amount of cover-ups like shorts, dresses, tanks or tees when you have to wear something over your swimsuit while taking a walk or doing other activities.
Vacationing in Jamaica may also require you to attend some social functions like excursions and poolside parties. Thus, you need to a good mix of casual clothing and more formal attire for night events. It is best to read on dress codes as seen in resort websites. Otherwise, it would be good to double check with the resorts themselves by calling them before your arrival as to what is the dress code of the activities that you have signed up for.
Footwear is also a must-pack for a Jamaica vacation. For daywear, the most ideal footwear to pack is a pair of flip-flops. Of course, if you are in Jamaica for specific fitness events, you need to pack sports sandals or rubber shoes. For evening wear, men can wear dock shoes and leather sandals, although some resorts have a close-toed dress shoe code. For women, flat dress sandals are ideal, as it may be difficult to walk in the sand with high heeled shoes.
Don't forget that even the best resorts in Jamaica may have a difficult time in containing bugs and insects. Thus, you need to have mosquito and bug repellant. Of course, sun block with a higher SPF is a necessity, obviously.
