The hotel

Built in an island style, the resort seems to blend in wonderfully with its environment. Situated on a long stretch of white sand beach you can spend endless hours indulging in water sports or simply lying back with a good book. For absolute privacy, choose one of the Beachfront Hideaway Butler Villas, set on a quiet stretch, just steps away from the white-sand beach. Enjoy five Star Global Gourmet™ dining options, and on top of those you can sample the eateries and facilities of the neighbouring Sandals resorts. With popular entertainment choices, including beach parties and cabaret nights, Sandals Montego Bay is one of Sandals' liveliest resorts, attracting a younger crowd.

We had a 3 night stay in a club level room at Montego Bay prior to going to SC. Our club level room has a nice bar with multiple Twin Oaks wines. The room was nice but on the smaller size. The restaurants had great food. The main pool is small and more hotel like but this is a smaller resort. The staff around the main pool never let us go without a drink in hand. I wish I had written names down but the entertainment staff was one of the best we’ve seen at any Sandals. Lead entertainer and Kevin “awesome sauce” were super friendly, helped you get involved and had everyone laughing and having a grand time. The only con to Montego Bay is the airplanes right overhead throughout the entire day. Read less

We came to this resort for a big anniversary. Facilities are dated, but the beach location and millennium suites in block 18 were incredible. Sadly the vibe of the place is low.. many of the bar and restaurant staff are miserable..in Jamaica Sandals, we were expecting high energy and staff that make you feel Iree! The major complaint I have is the upkeep of the entertainment facilities.. the entertainment staff are great and try thier best but simple things like the piano tuning and AV are so poor. Despite that people like lady j and Jada just keep going for the guests. Management need to sort this for the staff and the guests! Read less

Travis, Tasha, Amazing Owen, Damian, Jayda, Cassandra, Javell Oryan and so many others we interacted with daily made this trip absolutely astonishing. From their friendly smiles that could light up the darkest rooms, jokes and laughter they truly kept us entertained and included into the excitement/feel of Sandals Montego Bay! We felt right at home as if we’re all family. From the food, to the entertainment & music this trip was out of the world. Sandals ensures their employees are top notch & professional, and this is exactly what we received. Not a bad interaction over our 7-day stay, which made leaving incredibly hard. Please go visit them, Jamaica is beautiful and so are the personalities and resort! Cannot rate them high enough, and will 100% be returning to Montego Bay to see them all again, soon! Read less

Sandals Montego Bay was absolutely amazing. Our butlers Antonio and Mel were outstanding. They anticipated everything we could have wanted and provided a ton of information that helped us navigate the week long vacation for our anniversary. From dinner reservations to special requests, Antonio and Mel were on top of it. The food was great. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed working with Uncle Dave our photographer. The room was clean and something special was always left for us at the end of the day. We planned several excursions which were great, but next time we plan to enjoy more of the resort because there was so much to do without even leaving the resort grounds. Oh, and the nightly entertainment was fantastic. The music, the singing, the dancers, the fire show were all top notch. We've already book our next trip back to beautiful Jamaica. Thank you for the memorable experience. Read less
