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.

That was one of the best meals I ever had. The service was absolutely incredible from Michandia. She truly made the meal even all the more special for my wife and I on her honeymoon. She deserves a raise and she is the best!!!

Had a 7 night stay for our anniversary and the staff was incredible. Super personable, very kind and willing to help in any situation. Even with hundreds of people around the resort, they managed to remember our names on day 1! Tasha and Davia, in addition to being amazing vocalists, sat poolside and played games, became our volleyball teammates, and stopped to chat with us whenever we crossed paths. Akeem and Yashawn are incredible performers, Akeem taking time to remember everyone he interacted with and Yashawn playing games with guests even after a long performance. Geo and Javane will always greet you with a smile and some fun banter in addition to providing the amazing music, they’ll find you in a crowd and create inside jokes that’ll only grow by the day. The entire entertainment staff operates like a family more than a set of coworkers. Absolutely amazing!! Can’t forget to mention the kindness of Frank at the Jerk Shack and Owen at the pool bar for being so kind and the first to greet you as you step outside! They’ll remember your order after a single interaction and always check in with you! The fact that in the midst of relaxation we can tell you the names and personalities of these people is a testament to relationships you’ll easily build here. Sandals Montego Bay for the win!

We had the best time at Sandals in Montego Bay. This was our 8th Sandals and while they all are different, we've enjoyed them all. Montego Bay really exceeded our expectations. The grounds, rooms, restaurants, entertainment and staff were all excellent. The beach was very clean and maintained and the water as clear as pool water. The employees were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Shania, Lady J and Davia in entertainment were amazing! Christopher in the service department greeted us each morning at breakfast and couldn't have been more friendly. Renauldo at Butches, Anthony and Jermaine at Cucina Romana and all the other servers were wonderful. The resort is very close to the airport so you do hear and see the planes but that did not bother us at all. Being so close also makes the transport to and from the airport very short, which is nice. We want to make it to all of the different Sandals resorts but I definitely want to return to this one! Read less

First Impressions The resort had a welcoming vibe from the start, and everything felt well-organized and relaxed. The Room & Facilities The facilities were excellent — clean, well-maintained, and perfectly set up for both relaxation and fun. The beach was absolutely lovely, with plenty of space to unwind and enjoy the views. Entertainment & Activities The entertainment department really stood out. They were incredibly friendly and made every activity enjoyable. I especially had a lot of fun joining in on volleyball games during the day. The nighttime entertainment was also very impressive — talented performers and a great atmosphere each evening. Food & Dining There were plenty of food options available, offering good variety and something for everyone, which made meals another highlight of the stay. Staff & Service A special thanks goes to Akeem from entertainment, who was especially friendly and went out of his way to make the trip even better. Staff like him truly make the experience memorable and without the entertainment team the trip wouldn’t be the same. The entertainment manager Yahshawn was absolutely incredible as well at his job and with his team. Shout out to them Overall Between the beach, food, activities, and entertainment, I had a fantastic stay and would happily return. This resort is perfect for anyone looking for great facilities, plenty of fun, and genuinely warm service. Read less
