S Hotel Jamaica

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Virgin rating

The hotel

With its high-end design, jaw-droppingly gorgeous spa, 24-hour gym, and dazzling dining spots, this sophisticated adults only hotel wouldn’t look out of place in one of the world’s cool cities (think Miami or LA) – of course, you won’t be disappointed to find yourself along Doctor’s Cave Beach instead. The incredible location on the palm-fringed sands mean you get stunning views from the rooftop Sky Deck – with its glass-enclosed pool, comfy cabanas, and Jamaican-tapas menu. If you’d rather be nearer the sands, S Hotel Montego Bay also comes with an equally enticing beachside pool with daybeds, a pool bar, and a trendy vibe with a DJ playing the latest sounds during the day. S Hotel has direct access to Doctor Cave beach and offers guests complimentary sun loungers and waiter service so you lie back with your toes in the sand, relax and enjoy time here too.

Everything about our stay from the very beginning to the end was amazing. Gorgeous lobby. Checking in was a breeze. We were provided with welcome drinks and cold towels. We loved that it was a boutique resort, because it felt like a small, fun community. The housestaff were very attentive. Our rooms were cleaned well each day. Someone checked on us each day if we needed anything else like water, towels, etc. Having direct access to Doctor's Cave was a huge plus. I've been to my fair share of all inclusive resorts, buffets, cruises, etc. This is the best food that I've ever had at a resort. The food tasted fresh with lots of flavor each day at the buffet. The food at the al a carte restaurants were delicious. Roots rock restaurant is a whole vibe. So many options for drinks. if you're sitting by the pool or at the beach, someone will be there shortly to always make sure you have a drink in your hand. Highly recommend this resort if you want a relaxing vacation or if you want a fun/lively time. You can have your pick at this resort. Read less

Decided on a night pass at S Hotel Jamaica after hearing how great the service and food was. The S Hotel Jamaica did not disappoint. From the moment I drove in to the greeting I received upon entering the Gourmet Buffet at Marketplace Restaurant, I was so impressed how genuine the people were. The food choices were very good and varied. From the different soups, salads, a large charcuterie station and the spread of Jamaican favorites. The food was so good.. I mean really good for an all-inclusive. I finished my night under the stars poolside listening to the resident band, J Soul who set the tone for a relaxing night. This will undoubtedly be my go to spot for a great meal when next in this area. Read less

The true gem of the property is the wonderful staff who continue to shine in all that they do. With 5 trips under my belt, I know them now by name and it feels like you are returning home instead of vacationing. I really love the essence of the place and just how they make you feel without even trying or pretending. It’s warm and from the heart. I will continue to support this fabulous Jamaican gem!!

Wow! Wow! The S hotel is one of the best hotels to stay at when you visit Jamaica. From the staff, to the food, to the room, the entertainment and the overall ambience, this hotel is simply the best. My family had a blast visiting. The hotel is immaculately clean. The staff is friendly. The food is to die for.
