This was our first time at a Sandals resort. We were there for our daughters wedding. We ran into many problems and bumps in road not sure if they were understaffed because of recent hurricane. However we were introduced with Nackiel Drummond before we even got to the resort to help us work through some problems with the wedding planner. She went far above and beyond to help us and our party of 28 with any problems we encountered. Far beyond her wedding responsibilities. If it wasn't for her not sure our stay would have been as pleasant. She helped to correct any problems we all encountered and always had a smile and wonderful attitude. This resort is very lucky to have her on their staff. I would also like to recognize a young man who bar tended at all our wedding pre/post and actual wedding functions Shawn. Unfortunately I don't have his last name. He also went above and beyond to make sure everyone had what they wanted to order and also helped my husband who has mobility issues by bringing him his drinks and asking what he can do for him. I am rating a 4 because even though we accounted many problems with Nackiel's help everything turned out perfect. Read less

A wonderful place to relax. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you feel at home. As returning guests we were invited to a special gathering including gifts. We were recognised throughout our stay which made us feel very welcome. Christopher in reception went out of his way to make us feel at home as did intern, Ashley, in reception. The entertainment team were absolutely brilliant, not too pushy but tried to get people up and joining in. Food was amazing, we had French, Italian and Asian food experiences. The cafe is the BEST place to visit, ice creams, cakes, muffins and some alcoholic additions added to our coffees became the norm. We celebrated our 38 wedding anniversary whilst on holiday. We had a special dinner and our room was decorated too. There was champagne and a petal decorated bath was run when we arrived back after the day on the beach. Big shout out to out to our butlers, Palmer and Carlene, who made it a very special holiday all round. The planes are not taking off/landing all day long however we love planes so it wasn’t an issue for us. This was our second stay at Montego Bay, hopefully we will come back one day. Read less

The resort is beautiful!! But the stars of the trip were our butlers, Rushane & Okeria! They really made the trip magical! Each day they, reserved us the best spot on the beach (where they delivered lunch & cold drinks.) We returned to our room, daily, to find cheese, crackers, shrimp cocktail, fresh fruit to nibble on while, I enjoyed the bubble bath ( with floating flowers) that they had drawn for me ( and decorated the bathmat/towel) in the balcony soak tub. They kept us informed on which restaurants or tours we had for the day and walked us to dinner, seated us, in a great spot, poured water and made menu recommendations. When we returned to our room, it was fun to see how they had decorated our bed each day, when they turn down the bed. We were given a butler phone, and they were at the ready to answer questions or get us anything we needed or wanted. They also went out of their way to keep our mini fridge stocked with our preferences. I wanted to give them a shout out and post some pictures of their handiwork! It was sad to say goodbye to these two, whose huge smiles & cheerful attitudes light up the room! They crushed it!! They made the trip something I will never forget!! I highly recommend the butler service. And if you are lucky- you will get the dream team- Rushane and Okeria. Read less

Sandals Montego Bay is always is a great vacation. We have been enjoying this resort since 1989. This time we actually arrived a day before Hurricane Beryl. Many people are critical of our going when a hurricane was expected. However it was very unclear that the hurricane was going to strengthen the way it. However, I felt very safe at the resort. We stayed in our room the day of the storm and by the next morning the staff was working tirelessly to get the resort back to normal. The managers (including Duncan the Loyalty Manager)worked with staff to clean the beach and restore it to normal. As usual staff were fantastic. Our room B1B in Poinciana was great. Restaurant great. One special shout out to PETA GAY from beach service. Although we had a butler she always checked on us.. She is a definite asset to your organization. Her enthusiasm, energy and smile always made our day. I told her she should be a butler. 💕 Already booked for Southcoast in January and Montego Bay next summer. 💕💕 Read less
