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.

There is no such thing as a perfect hotel, but my stay at the S was a great experience. The food was amazing. I ate every single meal on property with the exception of when we went to rick's cafe.
The hotel was accommodating and everything we needed was available. It is a boutique hotel, so don't expect the glamor of a 5 star marble tiled place, but it felt like home with a lot of upgrades. The staff is warm, friendly and accommodating. The beach area is a little tight and the elevators are a bit hot, but that didn't mess up my stay and it won't deter me from going back again.
The best part of our trip, however, was our hotel manager Marlon he really treated us with extra special care and exemplifies customer service. There were six of us on a girls' trip, and I really was not ready to leave the hotel when our stay was up, it all happened way too fast.
So thank you, Marlon! We hope to see you again soon!

I recently returned from my stay at the S Hotel and my family and i were not ready to leave! That speaks to the kindness and attentiveness of the staff and the beauty of the resort. The food was delicious and authentically Jamaican and the activities (ex. pool aerobics, live music, etc.) were just enough to make the stay satisfying! We supplemented with a couple off-site excursions to round it all out.
I however, couldn't give this resort a perfect 5 because I feel that a thorough cleaning and updating of various parts of the resort is necessary.
1. Another reviewer mentioned a re-caulking of the bathroom sinks was needed. That is absolutely true. Also, the grime build up on the sinks was a turnoff. The faucets need shining up too. The bathroom is way too big and uses up unnecessary space and if made a bit smaller, could make the bedrooms a lot bigger as I found the rooms to be a bit small. A full dresser could then fit in the rooms too.
2. The cabanas around the pool, while plentiful, were dirty with grease, crumbs, etc from whomever ate their meal the same day or day before. S Hotel, please wash or wipe clean those bed mattresses and cushions regularly or find large slip covers for them that could be changed out as needed throughout the day like the lounge chaises. Also the cabana roofs leaked whenever it rained. A soggy, dirty cabana is not inviting to hang out on.
I will stop there. Despite my complaints, the staff at S Hotel do work very hard to make sure that we are happy and well fed. A few improvements here and there could go a long way.
