The earlier the better...
Reggae Sumfest is very popular, there is a high demand for hotel rooms, and rooms tend to be booked out early.
We advise making reservations by latest January of each year. Some hotels will take reservations as early as a year in advance, and many frequent festival-goers book their rooms for the next year when they are leaving the festival each year.
Remember, though, that it is never too late to make a hotel reservation as rooms do sometimes become available as persons cancel closer to the event. If you try once and don’t succeed just keep checking.
Here's a list of participating hotels...
1. All Inclusive
* Fiesta Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton - 5 stars
* Sunset beach resort - 3.5 stars
* Breezes Montego Bay - 4 stars

What to wear?
Reggae Sumfest weather is usually very pleasant, the days are nice and sunny with a cool breeze coming in from the sea. The evenings can also be quite warm and gets cooler as it gets closer to morning.
Dress in comfortable non-restrictive clothing as you may end up sitting on the grass or standing.
Comfortable shoes are a must as you may be standing a while or walking around the grounds to the many food vendors or artisans, or to see the fabulously designed and decorated VIP booths of our sponsors. Plus you’ll have lots of friends to visit all over the grounds.
Pack some rain gear as while its normally sunny, there is some chance of rain.
If you are interested not only good live reggae music, but hip hop and R&B as well, this is the place to be...see you there.
