"Should we spend American dollars or Jamaican dollars?"

US and Jamican dollars are both official currencies in Jamaica. You can use either but we recommend that you bring $US travellers checks and cash them at the banks or Cambios (money exchanges) located on the "Strip".



"How difficult is it to cash travellers checks?"

It`s very easy to cash your travellers checks. Just remember to carry your passport or photo ID when you go to the bank or money exchange



"Do you offer travel insurance?"

Yes we do....just click on the "Insurance" button on the main menu. All types of insurance are offered including trip cancellation, health, etc. through the Travel Insurance Center



"What is the situation with mosquitos and sand fleas?"

Mosquitos in Jamaica are of the "no seeum" variety. They are very small and can be a bit of a nuisance at dusk. When you go out at night be sure to spray your feet and ankles (especially) with bug spray containing a good quantity of DEET. Also, stay off the beach at dusk if possible as there are sand fleas that come out of the sand at that time only and can inflict some nasty bites.



"Do you make airline reservations?"

We don't make the reservations for you but we now offer two choices in our "Discount Air" section
that will give you a very good option with great rates. We now are working with CVOA (The Caribbean Villa Owners Association) who are able to offer Onestop clients discount airfares to Jamaica. You can call them toll free at 1-877-248-2862 and ask for the best rate. Be sure to tell them you're booking your accommodations through "Onestop".
The best fares are usually available within six weeks of your departure date but you can't always wait 'til the last minute or the flights may be filled.
We have found that it's usually less expensive to book your flight and accommodation separately.



"Does it cost more to book through you?"

No it doesn't. We charge the same rate or lower as the resorts and throughout the year we may offer special rates for "Onestop" clients.



"What advantage is there in booking through you?"

There are many advantages in booking through "Onestop".
  • We are extremely familiar with Montego Bay and the resorts we represent and will give you truthful, unbiased answers to your questions and concerns.
  • We can be reached at almost any time of day, seven days a week at our toll-free number 1-877-651-7867
  • When you book through us we will arrange airport transfers from Montego Bay airport to your resort and back.



"When I book through you do I receive a confirmation?"

Once you have made your booking and we have received your deposit or payment you will be sent an official confirmation by email (unless instructed otherwise) including your information, your resort, dates, description of your accommodations and the rate you paid.


"Are you a registered business?"

We've only been asked this a couple of times but "yes" we are fully registered and contracted to the resorts we represent. We have been in business on the internet since 1998.


"Is Jamaica safe?"

This is a question we often get asked as a result of "scare" tactics by illadvised travel agents. Jamaica is a perfectly safe place to visit except for parts of Kingston which is located far from the tourist areas. We do, however, suggest you to not walk alone at night and use the same precautions you would if you were at home.


"Can you give us information about resorts you don't represent?"

We do have a good working knowledge of Jamaica and most of the resorts although we are most familiar with our own. If you do require some assistance with regard to bookings in Jamaica we will be happy to assist you the best we can.


"Is food expensive?"

Being an island food is as expensive if not more expensive than back home. Buying food to cook is best done at the local markets.


"When is hurricane season?"

Hurricane season starts at the end of August 'til about the middle of October. You don't have too much to worry about, though, as the last bad one was in 1988.


"What sights are there to see near Montego Bay or around Jamaica?"

We have included on our site a large section devoted to all the interesting places to visit and sites to see. Points of interest near Montego Bay include: Black River Safari, Bamboo Avenue, Catamaran Tours, and Y.S. Falls. We have taken our own pictures of some of the different attractions, and have provided you with a map indicating where they are located. Just click HERE.



"Are ATM`s available in Negril?"

There are quite a few ATM's available in Montego Bay
