Sandals Resorts - The Luxury Included(R)Vacation.
The fun never sets at Sandals Montego Bay. Always swaying and smiling and showing off its breathtaking natural beauty, its unbelievably long and perfect white-sand beach and its incredible pulsating energy, this spot will enliven your days, enrapture your evenings and awaken you to a heightened state of being. This place welcomes you into its heart and enters your soul so completely that, no matter where you roam, you're always drawn to come back home.
The very first Sandals resort to open its doors and set a whole new bar for luxury and romance in the Caribbean, Sandals Montego Bay still continues to completely and utterly captivate couples' hearts. Born back in the days when only the rich and famous wintered in the tropics, the resort's original incarnation was as the glamorous Bay Roc Hotel. A Mecca for the jet-setting crowd of that era, the Bay Roc, known for its breathtakingly exquisite beach, was designed by renowned American architect, Edward Durrell Stone, who also created New York City's Radio City Music Hall and Museum of Modern Art.
Today, every inch of this remarkable spotlocated ever-so-conveniently minutes from Montego Bay's international airportgives you an authentic experience of the good life, Caribbean-style. Feel the amazingly upbeat energy as it pulses and throbs infectiously to a tro/pical heartbeat, inspiring you to discover a whole new level of excitement. Walk along pathways that lead enchantingly through artfully landscaped gardens and you'll encounter mature fruit trees, laden with mangoes, red ackees and citrus. Get lost in the brilliant tropical flowers, such as oleander, plumbago, yellow shrimp and frangipani, which assault your senses with impossible hues of pink, gold, purple and blue and fill your head with lingering fragrances that stay with you long after you've left the island. Stay in magnificent suites that were once the private villas of the fabulously wealthy who once made the Bay Roc their winter playground. Experience the upscale leisure of days gone by melded seamlessly with all of the luxurious, modern touches that characterizes this, the very first, and always special, Sandals.
Upbeat and lively, Sandals Montego Bay sets the trend for excitement, romance and service. Small wonder that guests keep coming back year after year. Only 10 minutes from Sangster International Airport, there are 5 gourmet restaurants on property plus 6 more at neighboring Sandals Royal Caribbean and Sandals Inn. Enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, waterskiing, tennis, Jamaica's largest private white-sand beach, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a domed amphitheater for entertainment.

A great resort at a great location.
Jarvis Oct 18, 2009
The first thing we noticed was how friendly and helpful the staff is. From the guys who take your bags, to the people at the ... front desk, the servers, the bartenders, the "play makers" (event staff), and everyone else, they are all amazing! It is our belief that all Jamaicans (or 99% atleast) are always happy. The airport noise really didn't bother us, because it only lasts a few seconds and there actually aren't that many planes flying in and out each day. However the rooms seem like they have thin walls. We seemed to always hear chairs and things being moved around and doors being opened and closed. On our stay we visited Sandals Negril, Royal Carribean, and Dunns River. The Negril location has an awesome beach, and the Royal Carribean (only 2 minutes from Montego Bay) has the private island which is very cool. All things considered we believe Montego Bay Sandals is one of, if not the nicest we experienced. The restaurants are simply fantastic, but you have to be sure to make reservations, because they fill up quickly. The pools at MB are a little disappointing. Every other location we went had a nice "main" swim up bar, where most would congregate, but our swim up bar was a little hike away and pretty small. I could go on and on, but I will just say that we REALLY enjoyed it, and would definitely go back. Be sure to make friends with the staff, and with other couples...it will make your stay so much more fun. Oh and everyone (except the Sandals staff) i.e. drivers or tour guides, or anyone outside the resort do expect tips. And there are guys walking the beach and just out and about outside the resort that try to sell you anything from shells to wood carvings to jewelery, and they don't like to take no for an answer, but just keep walking and say you aren't interested. I am going to stop now, but if you are considering Sandals Montego Bay, I highly doubt you would be disappointed.

If you are interested in climbing the Dunns River Falls, just be aware that admission there is $15.00 per person. We paid $80.00 per person through the Resort to climb the falls. You have transportation included, but I guarantee cab fare wouldn't cost $130 for there and back. So if you are interested...look into getting a cab and paying at the gate.

Frequent Traveler Aug 4, 2009
We were very disappointed to arrive at the Resort and see that the main pool was under construction. We feel Orbitz and the ... website should have been updated accordingly. We were also mislead by Orbitz and the resort website in so much as the resort was supposed have a disco/dance club and when we arrived they stated it had been changed into a pub. We did a ziplining excursion which was great. The staff and the service and the food was commendable for the most part. The alcoholic beverage choices were very limited. Although we knew the airport was close by, we didn't realize the runway was right behind us and that the planes would be so noisy, however, this wasn't a huge issue for us. Again the pool situation was extremely disappointing but the beaches were very nice.

The good, the bad, the disappointing
Vacationer Jul 29, 2009
Overall, the experience was mediocre. The beach, staff and food was fantastic. Unfortunately, that was overshadowed by the ... airport across the street (first plane takes off about 7:30 AM), the main pool being closed for construction, and the lack of worthwhile entertainment activities (the resort didn't have a dance club and bars shut down early). We vacation in caribean and will be exploring other resorts (i.e. RIU) next time!

Good For YOUNG Adults
Fresh Out of College Couple Jul 13, 2009
So this being my girlfriend and I's first time at an all-inclusive, we really had no idea what to expect. We were upgraded ... immediately to an oceanside room (everyone was upgraded somewhat), so that was a great start. Our room was nice with a beautiful view. We headed down to the beach and were bothered by people peddling necklaces, conch shells, and Jamaica's finest (you can figure that out). As long as you just told them you weren't interested, they would leave you alone. We headed to the bar where the rum was always flowing and grabbed a couple of well-made drinks (just ask the bartenders for their favorites). We grabbed dinner at the Bayside Restaraunt (the only one we could get into), and the food was presented beautifully but tasted poorly (an unpleasant motif of this trip). We decided to check out the party at the swim up bar (not impressed) that night and found only a handful of couples out. This also seemed to be a common theme at this resort. This day seemed to be a fair summary of the trip: alright food, good drinks, picturesque beach, and a lack of particpation in activites. Side Notes: - The restaraunts were not always open (the Oleander, the nicest one was closed the whole time we were there) and the two that took reservations were almost impossible to get into. At one point, there were only 3 restaraunts open, and only on you could get into. - The main pool was under construction the whole time which was a huge dissapointment. Definitely check to make sure this isn't true at your resort. - The planes overhead are REALLY LOUD. This isn't a deal breaker, just more of an annoyance. - FINAl NOTE: We devised the 80/20 rule that applied to the service...20% of the workers clearly did not want to be there, but the other 80% were so over the top helpful that it made up for them.

-Definitely make time to go to Sandals Royal and eat/hang out there. It is much nicer than Montego Bay (and i would recommend staying there especially if you are over the age of 35), and it is an easy five minute shuttle ride over there. Also, take time to ride around the city with an experienced cab driver. It is definitley a different world and will give you a better appreciation of your life.

Adequate but not outstanding experience
Beach Hunter Jun 22, 2009
This was my third trip to Jamaica and I was not particularly impressed with this experience. It was off-season so the pool ... was walled off and closed for renovation. They had a relatively small beach swimming area but several watersports options with no lines. Service was adequate but not enthusiastic. Frequent loud noise from the nearby airport was distracting although it was interesting to watch the jets take off from close range. We were unable to book a reservation at one of the finer resort restaurants during our stay and had limited options for dining. Housekeeping was great. Security was very good. There were less entertainment activities here than at other resorts I have stayed at. Next time I will probably choose a different resort chain or try a Sandals at another location.

An OK Jamaican Vacation
Richardson Couples Getaway Jun 4, 2009
I'd have to say our Sandals experience was just OK. We got a complimentary upgrade when we got there to a beautiful ... room!!...but it was at the end of the property and our view was of a chain-link fence (who knows what was behind there). The entertainment was amazing. There was always something to do and the activity coordinators were very good at trying to get you involved. The beach and ocean were spectacular. We rented a cabana for the day that was inches from the ocean which came with a personal butler that was well worth the extra $100. The food and beverages were less than mediocre. If you like bland buffet style dining and rancid rum drinks you'll be fine though. Overall I cant say that our trip was bad. We had a great time together; just thought that for the price we paid we should've gotten more.

The Sandals was excellent. From the time we got thru customs at the airport until they delivered us back to the airport we ... were taken care of. The lounge at the airport was comfortable while we waited to be taken to the hotel. We were upgraded at the hotel. There were constant activities going on if you are into that sort of thing. We were just there to relax. Not having to deal with cash, tips, etc. was awesome. The food was excellent, all staff was great. Highly recommend!
