Step off your flight in Montego Bay and get greeted by a local driver for a private shuttle straight to Jewel Grande Resort. Watch city life roll past your window, hear stories from someone who knows every shortcut, and settle in before you even reach your room—a welcome you’ll remember long after the trip.
"You found us, yeah?" That’s what the driver called out as soon as we stepped out of the arrivals crowd at Sangster Airport. I’d been squinting at every sign, half-worried our flight delay would mess things up, but there he was—smiling, holding my name (spelled right too). The air outside hit me like warm bread, all humid and sweet with that faint tang of salt. We shuffled our bags into the minivan, which was spotless and cool inside. I kept thinking how much better this felt than trying to haggle for a taxi after a long flight.
The drive to Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort isn’t far—maybe 15 minutes if traffic’s light—but it’s enough time to catch your breath and watch the city slip by. Our driver, Andre, pointed out a jerk chicken stand he likes (“best on the way back to the airport,” he promised) and told us about his daughter’s school just off the main road. There was reggae on low in the background, windows rolled up against the heat but you could still see flashes of turquoise sea between palm trees. I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed so quickly; maybe it was just relief after customs, or maybe it’s something about being welcomed by someone who actually lives here.
I noticed Andre kept checking his phone at stoplights—not texting, just glancing at flight updates. He said they always track arrivals in case of delays (“nobody wants to be left waiting”). That stuck with me. When we pulled up at Jewel Grande, he helped with bags and gave us a quick tip about where to find cold coconut water near the lobby. It wasn’t fancy or anything—just real and easy. I still think about that first breeze when we got out of the van.
