A reasonable two-week budget for Jamaica outside of pre-paid accommodation is USD 700 to 1,400 per person for food, ground transport, activities, and modest shopping. Resort all-inclusive stays cover most spend during the booking, with USD 300 to 500 sufficient for tips, off-resort meals, and excursions over two weeks. For an independent traveller booking guesthouses and Airbnbs at USD 60 to 120 a night, a realistic two-week total comes to USD 1,800 to 3,500 all in. Day-tour pricing for Dunn’s River Falls, Blue Lagoon, or YS Falls runs USD 30 to 90 per person. Carry small USD and JMD notes for tipping; ATMs in Kingston, Mo Bay, and Ocho Rios dispense both.
