PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE 2 PAYMENT LINKS/ PAYMENT PLANS. PLEASE BE SURE TO SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ITINERARY AND CHOOSE BOTH. 

Hey everyone! We are so excited to put together an inaugural (1st annual) group trip to Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We look forward to spending time with all of you! There are 2 links in this itinerary. The first link is for the planning fee only. You will see a drop down arrow next to the planning fee option that allows you to make the $100 deposit on the resort option for 2 people/ 1 room. Please note that the planning fees are non- refundable and deposit must be made on the planning fee before I will be able to make the deposit on your room. There is a 50% discount on the planning fee for the first 10 rooms booked. The price of the planning fee is per room, not per person. 2 people to a room. The payment link for the room is per room/ 2 people/ NOT per person. The dates are set for August 1st through 5th, 2025. That gives everyone enough time to put time off in at work and save up! We are staying at Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Flights are available at just under a year out and I am happy to book those through Sandals FOR YOU (Your planning fee covers this), or you may book flights yourself to Montego Bay, Jamaica but PLEASE BE SURE TO GET YOUR FLIGHT INFORMATION TO ME so that I can coordinate your transportation to and from the resort with Sandals. FLIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS PRICE AND CANNOT BE BOOKED UNTIL A YEAR FROM TRAVEL. If you have ANY questions or concerns you can email me admin.aretha@magicallywickedvacations.com or call or text me at 209 770 0815. You are also welcome to ask questions in the travel group or through FB messenger. We will need to discuss insurance once deposit on the room is made, and I will discuss that with each of you individually once you make your deposit. Let's go have fun!

Please note: Flights are not available until just under a year out from departure date. If you would like for me to add flights, please let me know. You are also welcome to book flights yourself. You will be flying into Montego Bay, Jamaica. Transportation to the resort, from the airport is included in your package so I WILL NEED YOUR FLIGHT INFORMATION if you book flights yourself. Please DOUBLE check your arrival DATE AND TIME to be sure you are arriving ON THE 1st. It would be my suggestion that you arrive AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE to take full advantage of your first day there. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about flights. If I add flights, they will be added through Sandals. 

On August 2nd, we will be meeting at 10:00 a.m. for a group brunch at one of the restaurants on site. I will be sending out that information as we get closer to departure date. We will also be doing a resort tour, so that you all are familiar with all of the amazing opportunities you have available to you at this resort. The rest of the day will be pool, beach and cocktail time as a group. Dinner will be personal choice in regards to time and location. 

There are a variety of INCLUDED water sports in your package. My goal is to have the entire group doing an excursion together for group photos, etc., but depending on the group size and choices made by the group, we may be splitting up to ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to do what they would like to do. There are additional, paid excursion opportunities that you are welcome to participate in. A list of those options will be available to you. 

Day 4 is going to include the opportunity to do some shopping for family and friends, leisure time around the resort, and the opportunity to explore and participate in any restaurant, bar and included water sport options that you haven't had the opportunity to do yet. 

If you are booking your own flights, I suggest departing in the afternoon to give yourselves the opportunity to take your time in the morning, eat and have a last hoorah before departure. Transportation from the resort back to the airport is included. International departures require an arrival time to the airport of appx. 2 hours before your flight. Please remember that there is also travel time from the resort to the airport. I would give yourself an estimated 3 hours before your flight to keep in mind in regards to when you will be scheduled to leave the resort. For example, if your flight leaves at 2:00 p.m., you will be leaving the resort at appx. 11 a.m.. This also is dependent on how many people the resort needs to transport. You may end up leaving a half hour or so before the required time. My suggestion is to book your departure flight as late in the afternoon/ early evening as possible.
