Had been to a Sandals before (Bahamas) so we knew what it could be like. On the plus side, a great beach, food very good (not cordon bleu, but of a standard of a restaurant you would go back to), service and staff excellent (I get the impression that Sandals is a good employer.) On the downside, the rooms we stayed in and the others we saw may have been fine when new, but really do need refurbished and modernised - tourists expect more now, and other regions (eg far east and mid east) provide it. And, who in their right mind would build a resort beside the end of a runway? You do get used to the aircraft noise, but you shouldn't have to.

“Irie!”

Sandals Montego Bay

5 Oct 2003
6/6 found this review helpful

My husband and I were married at Sandals MoBay. We were there from 9/13/03-9/20/03 and truly had the time of our lives!! As soon as we arrived, our room was not ready and lunch had just started. We ate and enjoyed the live reggae band. We were upgraded from the one bedroom honeymoon suite to the presidential suite. It was beautiful. Every night they came in and turned down the bed, we had a fully stocked bar in room, it was just like an apartment! The night of our wedding while we were at dinner, the maid placed flowers on the bed for us. We mainly hung around the beach and the swim up piano bar. Duncan, Kenroy, and Hector were awesome!!! They made our drinks as strong or weak as we wanted! You have to try the Jamaican Smiles and Yellow Birds. Mai Tais were good too. We did take the tour to Dunns River Falls. That was fun.
A word of advice, book concierge! There are so many more perks and services. Money well spent. We are planning to go back on our anniversary. It was breath-taking, and the people there are so respectful. Another word of advice..pack lightly!! All the ladies need is shorts and a shirt, a nice dress or skirt and blouse, and a bathing suit or two. Men-all you need is two pairs of swim trunks, two nice shirts, and a pair of dress shorts and dress pants. REALLY! We honestly had the time of our lives! The wedding coordinator was so friendly and our wedding was beautiful, quick, and to the point. They let us stand in the gazebo as opposed to in front of it with no problem. The stray cats were so cute and were not bothersome at all. The airplanes were not disturbing at all, but then again we live right by the aiport so I guess we are used to it. Just remember to leave all of your problems and stress at home because once you get to Sandals MoBay, its all about Love, Peace, and Respect! Irie man!!! Hope this helps.

“This was our second visit and it's still awesome.”

We first stayed at Sandals MoBay five years ago on our honeymoon and had a great time. On Spet. 25th we went back for our five year anniversary and stayed until the 29th. The trip started badley when we arrived in Jamaica and realized that USAir had lost ALL of our luggage. We went to the resort and let guest relations know about our luggage and they hounded USAir every few hours. Our luggage arived the next day and things got much better. They also managed to give us our same room that we had on our honeymoon which was pretty cool.
The food was great. I read these reviews about how bland the food was and the only thing I can figure is that these people were eating ice or something. The jerk chicken and pork was awesome. We did not have an average meal the entire time we were there. They were all fabulous. The bar service was very good although we found the cups to be smaler on this trip. You can ask for bigger cups and they will give them to you, or you can just go get another drink. All inclusive is great. The only porblem we had was a bottle of wine that we ordered to the room was late. That was our biggest problem the whole time.
The staff at Sandals is great. Everyone was so nice and seemed to truley care if we were having fun. It will become very evident how nice the staff is when you get to the airport and deal with the employees there.
We went on the horseback tour of the mountins which ended at the ocean. When we got to ocean the guides let us ride the horses (bareback) into the ocean until the water was to the top of their backs. It was great. Then for the more adventerous you can take your horse into deeper water where he is actually swimming. The whole tour lasted 3 1/2 hours from start to end. It is only 15 minutes from the resort.
The one bad thing is that the prices in the gift shop are pretty high. They have a regular bottle of sun tan lotion in there for $29.00. You need to remember to pack everything.
This was our second time to this Sandals and we will be back. The entertainment at night was so much fun and you get used to the planes flying overhead in about 2 minutes. I would much rather deal with the planes than a two hour bus ride to Ochos Rios from the airport. Go here. You will like it. If you are a repeat customer to Sandals they give you T-shirts, leather Sandal necklaces, and a big bottle of Appelton's rum.

“We loved this place!!!!”

Sandals Montego Bay

4/4 found this review helpful

My husband and I were so happy to have spent our honeymoon here at Sandals MoBay! We arrived on September 20th and left on September 26th. We were sad when we had to leave. We met some great couples and loved the staff here! The playmakers made it so much fun to join in activities and get involved--my husband and I just tried to have such a good attitude about everything and not worry about a single thing. Some people on here didn't that the resort was near the airport, but we thought it was great seeing the planes fly out and land right in front of us! People need to stop being annoyed about the great inventions in this world! Make sure you visit the Beach Bar and talk to Morrison, Shinton, or Brian--they are AWESOME! always singin' and saying "Yeah, Mon!" Make sure you get to know the playmakers, Baby Boi, Ace, Rohan, Sheri, and Carmen--they're so cool and have crazy reggae dance moves! We will definitely come back again--the best advice I have is just to enjoy your time there...meet people, do activities, go on tours, and always think "nothing's ever a problem mon, just a situation."

The hotel is great, not ultr-luxury, but clean, good facilities. The food likewise, was not ultra-gourmet, but there was plenty. Great watersports, the beach is fantastic - huge, white, amazing calm sea.
The staff are so friendly, especially the entertainments team. I'm not one for joining in sports during the day - would much rather soak up sun with a book, but my husband loved the volley ball, tennis etc.
Christmas Day was fantastic, A Jamaican Santa arrived on a speed boat, the ents team sang carols. New Years was the best we've had - huge gala meal, ice sculptures, live band, dancing until the early hours. We made a lot of friends. This isn't a place for people who want a quiet holiday, it's definitely a fun place. We can particularly recommend the piano bar with the sing alongs. Definitely do 2 excursions - Dunns River Falls, and the Catamaran Booze Cruise - it's fantastic!!! Would definitely go back - except this year we're going to Secrets Excellence in Dom. Rep - anyone been who has comments?
