How much do you budget?

[billndonna]

I would put us in the $250 to $300 a day range but most trips we come home with 2 or 3 hundred left.Buy beers and booze for the room and for around the pool sometimes but we spend lots of time on the move buying drinks all over Negril and on the westend.Of coarse we have to party on the one love bus each trip also!

Had to edit to add that we do start partying by 10:ish every day and many mornings our Bed time is between 2 and 4am,that does raise the cost just a bit!

Well, even if Dave doesn't get the info he was after (lump total, no details), it made for a good social experiment I guess.

We normally stay all inclusive so all in with air/hotel and spending money for 10 days I budget for $6-6500

Generally I do not end up spending this much.

This year we are staying 3 nights non-all inclusive so we are saving money there. $1000 of that budget it for spending money and never in all of my trips have I spent all of it. We generally come home with $3-500 left over.

3 adults and 1 child staying at Negril Palms. We are budgeting for $200/day in cash to be spent on meals and entertainment in Negril. I suspect that might be high, but rather have too much than not enough.

Airfare was $2200, Car will be about $200, including gas. Hotel is $1100 (10 nights). So that's a little under $6k

We spend about $100 a day, usually less since I bring many quick meals with me and head done to Value Master for perishables and beer....Our hotel for the 10 days is $900 and 2 plan tickets were $440 each....actually I think we get off pretty cheap for Jamaica.....

That's one of the cool things about Negril, you can get rooms for <$100 a night or >$1000 night. Cook your own and eat cheap box meals, or go out for lobster.
