The quality of the food provided was disappointed. The prices for snacks in the convenience stores were outrageous. There were very few shades beach and pool spots and claiming one was extremely competitive.

A few weeks late getting to this review but here goes. As stated, this was for our honeymoon, and we stayed for 10 nights at the resort. Only minor negatives. The jacuzzi leaked and we had to change rooms. First world problems eh! However, that was handled professionally by both the maintenance staff and front of house to get us moved. Also last negative, rather disappointingly, as I was especially looking forward to it; the food and service at the Blue Mountain Jamaican restaurant was not what we hoped for, rather poor in fact. But please read on. Overall, we had such a wonderful relaxing time at Secrets Montego Bay. The food at all the restaurants (except the aforementioned) was excellent and the staff at each were so welcoming and happy and couldn’t do enough for you. The choice was very good, and the quality of the food was great. The chefs did a fantastic job as well as all the serving staff, a mention to Tika and Tamar. Great girls. The buffet breakfast, (and lunch if you can fit that all) in was bewildering with the variety of food on offer. Both my wife and I tried most of it and were very impressed. The guys and girls making the fresh omelettes in the morning were superb. Room service was great too. The room was good, but maybe not what I would call 5 star. The hotel did have some minor issues that could do with updating but unless you’re looking for things you won’t probably notice. It’s a great place to stay and very comfortable. The housekeeping staff are amazing and so friendly too. We spent a lot of time around the pool and on the beach which was mostly quiet and very relaxing. That said, in the afternoon there was great entertainment with Jamaican dancing as one example, led by this crazy guy who was just the highlight of the afternoons. He had more energy than everyone put together, I think. As this was my first trip to Jamaica, I was totally taken by the friendliness, happiness, and overall fantastic nature of all the staff. This is evident especially with the bar staff. The guys and girls that work in the bars and those that take your orders at the pool side are 5 star without any hesitation. They work tirelessly to make every guest feel so welcome and have just great personalities. I have to mention Jory and Tyrone for all their work in the day and being such a laugh too. And I would give a special mention to Oran who is such a gentleman, a hard-working man who kept my wife and I company every evening, whilst still managing a bar on his own every night and absolutely nailing those rum cocktails. Oran was amazing. Nice watch Oran. 😊 Anyway, I highly recommend Secrets Wild Orchid as wonderful place to stay for your holiday, honeymoon, or whatever it may be, I’m sure you’ll love it.
