This was our 2nd free week with Sandals! We chose this resort because we love the vibe and the staff here! The layout of the resort is easier for my husband to get around because he has mobility issues! We celebrated our Anniversary! Our only disappointment (we were Concierge level) was that while others in our building had decorations and had things in their room for their birthday or anniversary, sadly we did not😢😢😢! Although when we went to dinner that night at Butch’s, we ran into our butler that we had 6 yrs ago, Marvin! He set up a table for us, got drinks for us and put flowers on r table! Thanks, Marvin, for making our anniversary special and going the extra mile! It was appreciated! There was other staff throughout the resort that made our trip special…Raniel at Bayside ( who we also met 6 yrs ago), Teddy aka Ethan at main bar, Ravon and Romano at main bar, Bridget at Loyalty, Tamoya for beach service, Everton for all your help during our stay especially when I didnt bring the wheelchair one night and u pushed glenn on his rollator all the way back to r room - thank you - and Angella for housekeeping at the Palm Bldg. Thank you all for making our trip amazing! Lastly, we met so many amazing couples but Sue and Tom (Go Birds) and Kate and Dan! wow, what an amazing time we had but the best was the night when Sue, Kate and I realized we were all nurses and the nursing shots that followed! ha ha ha! We love MB and the staff! We also never had a problem getting chairs at the beach or a reservation at Butch’s or getting into any other restaurant at the resort when we wanted to dine! Also shout out to the staff at Tokoyo Joe’s for setting up a table outside the restaurant so my husband did not need to navigate the steps there! Thank you! As u can see, Mobay is a special place!

I had a wonderful time at Sandals Montego Bay. I got married There on April 24. The wedding team was amazing.Nakiel Manager was simply amazing. She made sure that everything went according to plan and carried my vision out for the perfect wedding. Antionete Was awesome as well very accommodating.Velroy was so much fun and made sure everything was flowing nicely at the reception. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew and would do it all over again with them. Kemar was so much fun he kept us dancing and entertained, as well as having great hospitality. Kevon was great as well. There are so many wonderful people on this resort. Chevelle was very accommodating as well at the Bayside and the mariner seaside grill. The food was great. The entertainment was great. The weather was perfect. I would recommend and if you are planning a destination, wedding sandals would be perfect. My husband and I will be coming back for future vacations. Read less

My wife and I went here on our honeymoon. My wife has a food allergy that we were told wouldn’t be a problem. We were careful at each restaurant stating her allergy, some we had to leave, but that was OK because they told us they couldn’t guarantee it. Our third afternoon she had an allergic reaction. She was ok despite a high heart rate and… Read more
My wife and I went here on our honeymoon. My wife has a food allergy that we were told wouldn’t be a problem. We were careful at each restaurant stating her allergy, some we had to leave, but that was OK because they told us they couldn’t guarantee it. Our third afternoon she had an allergic reaction. She was ok despite a high heart rate and itchy throat. I called the people at the front desk and had a meeting the following day where they apologized to us and said they would report the case. That night we went to dinner where her allergy was again ignored. I again reported it. We spent the next two days in the room because she was feeling bad. They sent a higher up who apologized and made sure our meals were taken care of the next 4 nights. They asked to meet and offered a token compensation if I agreed to sign and not publicize anything. I declined signing and stated I’d like to continue our conversation later. I have emailed, called, tried the chat on the website and have had zero follow up. I figured my best option now was to let people know that allergy restrictions were not met and hope that they look elsewhere. It’s still disappointing that we spent that much money to spend three days in our room because of a mistake we didn’t make. Read less

Kemar Was my absolute favorite he made sure that me and my family had a great time and answered any questions that we had. We were there to celebrate my mother’s wedding and I don’t think she could have chose a better place ! The wedding coordinator Nackiel was AMAZING she went above and beyond to make sure that my mom enjoyed her Special day. She even came in on her off day the next day to make sure that everything went according to plan. The experience was amazing and we will definitely be returning! Read less

We love Sandals in Montego Bay. This resort has it all. If you want to relax poolside or beach side it’s no problem. The food is great, staff is friendly, and the resort is beautiful. Javell and DJ Danelo were so kind and helped us have the greatest time on the resort! I hope they are there for the next time we visit!
