Exploring Jamaica Mayfield Falls, Jamaica

Exploring Jamaica

In October 2023 my family and I headed to Lucea, Jamaica. Lucea is located between Montego Bay and Negril and is about a 45 minute shared transfer ride from Sangster International Airport.

When visiting Jamaica, you will need to complete an online C5 form prior to arriving. This can be done up to 30 days prior to your arrival in Jamaica and is mandatory. Make sure the information you enter is accurate because even if you have 1 digit wrong from you passport number or any other important information you will be delayed in getting through the already very busy airport. The airport is hot and the lines are long but you they are very organized. One way to breeze through customs and immigration is to pay for Club Mobay which will see an employee take you from your airplane right past all of the lines and fast track you to baggage. If you are arriving during the busy season, or on a busier day this service is worth the money but book early because they only book a certain amount of people each day! 

US currency is widely used across the island and is preferred on most resorts. We stayed the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton and all the shops were priced in USD. This was a very large resort with a lot of walking, but they do have trollys to take you around. The resort was lively with daily and nightly entertainment, live music, free non-motorized water sports and more! If sports are your thing the Sportbar  features multiple large screen TV's with sports, pool tables, and good old American favourites like wings, nachos and more. Be prepared though, the wing sauce is HOT. Even the BBQ is very spicy and Buffalo was too hot for most of us to eat. Still, the AC was nice and cold and the drinks colder! 

We ventured off resort on day to do a private excursion at Mayfield Falls. Jamaican time is a real thing so when the ride we were told would be 45 minutes was actually an hour and a half we werent surprised. The roads for the first part were great, better than Mexico, but then we hit deep into the Jamaican countryside through the mountains and the roads are very very bad. At one point our driver was going around each pot hole so that we didn't end up stranded in a broken down van. The countryside is breathtaking, and if you strum up conversation with your driver you will learn alot, such as sugarcane and how they set the fields on fire for an easier harvest. Lots of home are abandoned and the level of poverty is seen constantly. Mayfield Falls is not government run so the money they make goes directly to the families and children that need it most in that area. Its an experience you don't want to miss! 

The people in Jamaica on the resort are for the most part very friendly, and appreciative of any tips. They work hard to make your stay a memorable one. The food is good and the drinks are cold, but take a thermal cup as they melt fast, the temps didn't get below 28 degrees at night!
