S Hotel Jamaica

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

I don’t write reviews often, but I had such a great experience at S Hotel last week that I just had to share my thoughts with others considering a stay there. My sister and I chose the S Hotel as our accommodation for our first trip to Jamaica because it was adult-only and we had heard from folks in our hometown just how authentic the overall vibe there was to Jamaica. The hotel didn’t disappoint. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, the staff were extremely hospitable, the food/drinks were delicious, and the entertainment/activities were nonstop. Oh, and the pictures you see of the pool and beach aren't photoshopped. The views are really that stunning. There are three dinner-only restaurants at the hotel, each serving menus that compete with some of the local spots. They are reservation-only but the amazing staff at the front desk made sure we got a table at each restaurant (and at our desired time) when we arrived our first day. My sister and I had a deluxe double ocean view room, and I’m so glad we made that choice. Not only were the beds comfortable and bathroom enormous, but the view of the ocean we woke up to each morning was just breathtaking. The spa experience was lovely and the women at the tour desk (Stephanie and Shadee) were awesome! They were very helpful in finding my sister and I the right activities to participate in, and genuinely cared about every moment of our experience with the tour company they suggested. They are very thoughtful/strategic about their partnerships because they want to make sure your time spent away from the hotel is just as amazing as your time on the property. My sister and I really enjoyed sitting by the pool every night after dinner to listen to the awesome band they had playing and hitting up the bar or 24/7 café for some treats before turning in. I have to shout out the Assistant Director of the hotel, Homroy! He spent over an hour taking pictures of my sister and I on the SkyDeck, in the pool, and in front of the hotel on our last day. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had the photos to remember our award-winning experience by. I can't wait to go back! Read less

Came here on a Night Pass and enjoyed every minute of it. Dinner was unbelievable and the entertainment was top notch. Typically, all inclusive food can be hit or miss due to cooking in large quantities but I found the food here authentic, spiced the correct way and tasty. Will be back for my birthday weekend.

I stumbled on the S Hotel Jamaica by accident while searching luxury hotels in Jamaica. The property I had booked that will remain nameless, had a system glitch and my reservation was canceled in error. Of course I was mad but had to find a suitable alternative as my intention was to enjoy Jamaica despite the mishap. S Hotel was a brilliant choice! Words can't explain how pleased I was with the service, food and the staff. 5 stars across the board. Loved the Jerk Chicken, loved the real Jamaican cuisine that was cooked the way it should be cooked. Loved the warm and caring hospitality from everyone I encountered. Maybe it was meant to be this way.. Read less

Special shout out to Glenora who made our meals extra special. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone. The music at the pool..perfect playlist.
