Travelers heading to Jamaica often look for reliable, hassle-free ways to get from the airport to their hotel — especially when they’re eager to start relaxing. This private transfer service from Montego Bay Airport to the Excellence Oyster Bay Resort offers exactly that. While we haven’t experienced it firsthand, reviews and detailed descriptions suggest it’s a straightforward, comfortable, and personalized option. It’s perfect for travelers who value convenience, privacy, and a touch of local charm right from the start.
Two things we really like about this service are its private nature, which means no sharing with strangers, and the flat, predictable price. It’s simple, transparent, and eliminates the common stress of waiting for taxis or dealing with confusing shuttle schedules. However, one thing to keep in mind is that this is a one-way transfer — so if you need a return trip, you’ll want to arrange that separately. This service suits travelers arriving at Montego Bay who want a quick, direct route to their resort, especially those who value a personal touch and straightforward pricing.

Why Choose This Transfer?
Traveling from Montego Bay Airport to the Excellence Oyster Bay Resort can be a moment of stress or a seamless start to your vacation. This private transfer service promises to keep it stress-free. The booking process involves a straightforward conversation with the provider, ensuring your driver knows exactly where and when to meet you. From there, it’s a matter of relaxing in your private vehicle, soaking in the scenery, and arriving comfortably.
The highlight for many travelers is the personalized service. As one verified review states, “Very nice person that we met at the airport that got us to our transportation.

The Booking and Pickup Experience

Once you’ve booked, the process is quite transparent. You’ll receive confirmation, and the provider makes contact to finalize details. They’ll ask about the size of your group and luggage because this ensures you get an appropriately sized vehicle — whether a small car for a couple or a larger van for a family or group.
Meet points are straightforward: at Excellence Oyster Bay, specifically on the Oyster Bay Peninsula in Falmouth. For arrivals, the driver will be waiting at the designated spot, ready to assist with luggage if needed. For departures, you’ll be picked up at your hotel, making the start and end of your journey smooth and predictable.
The flexibility of the one-way transfer means you can choose to be picked up at the airport or your hotel, depending on your itinerary. Plus, the option for group discounts makes it an affordable choice for families or groups traveling together.
What’s it Like During the Ride?

While the experience is private, the ride itself is designed to be comfortable and relaxed. Your driver will take the most direct route, but you might enjoy some local commentary or tips if they’re inclined. The vehicle will be tailored to your needs, whether you’re traveling light or with a lot of luggage.
The review mentions that the drive was “very nice and informative,” which hints that drivers might share tidbits about local sights or culture if asked. It’s a chance to get a mini orientation right at the start of your trip, or simply enjoy the scenery in peace.
Travelers appreciate the lack of waiting or dealing with queues, a common frustration with shared shuttles or taxis. Instead, your private vehicle is ready when you are, offering a stress-free beginning or end to your Jamaican vacation.
Cost and Value Analysis

At $37 per person, this transfer offers good value. Private transfers often cost more than taxis, but the added comfort, privacy, and predictability can be worth it — especially after a long flight. For larger groups, the cost per person remains reasonable, and the convenience might outweigh the slight premium.
Compared to shared shuttles or taxis, the fixed price means no surprises or haggling, which is a relief after arriving in a foreign country. Plus, the ability to cancel for free up to 24 hours in advance adds flexibility, making it a low-risk option.

This transfer is ideal for travelers who prioritize comfort, privacy, and simplicity. If you’re arriving late at night or with a lot of luggage, the ease of meeting your driver at a designated spot and stepping into your private vehicle is invaluable. It’s also perfect for those who prefer to start their Jamaican holiday without the hassle of negotiating with local taxis or waiting in lines.
Families, couples, or groups who want a smooth, personalized start or end to their trip will find this service appealing. And if you’re arriving or departing during busy times or in a larger group, the availability of group discounts makes it more economical.
