I always have a compact umbrella packed in my suitcase but I'm in Negril during rainy season. Usually I only carry it when I walk to town & it looks like it might rain. I joke that doing that guarantees that it WON'T rain & that is normally the way it goes. If I use it when walking to town & back, it's usually as a "sun"brella... to shade me from the sun.
I usually pick up a travel size one at Dollar Tree to bring down, if I don't use/need it, I give it to my housekeeper :)
many times we wished we would have had one for rain and sun.....but after the first 20 or so visits we gave up on needing one.....lol
cab drivers do not like to pick up "wet people"
bad place for them to live then, on a Island.....

You might have a point Marko! Probably not much point in bringing one, knowing me it would NEVER be where I need it :)
I have a small umbrella that stays in my suitcase (even once I get home). I have been here a week and, on the beach, we have had some heavy rain a couple of times. It was not the "dancing in the rain" kind - LOL I find it useful for not only days like that but really hot ones too when I am out walking.
I always bring an umbrella and use it when walking the beach - it sure helps if you are out there in full sun.
