We had a fantastic stay here last year in the Oceanfront Penthouse Club level suite. The room was very nice with a great view of the ocean. We managed to eat at all the restaurants bar one (Stewfish) and enjoyed all of them (Soy is our favourite!). All the staff were amazing and welcoming and nothing felt like too much trouble. We prefer the pool over the beach, so mainly stayed at the main pool (the one without the bar). We always managed to get a space on the sun loungers however there were not loads so if you don't get there early, you might miss out. Overall, we l Read less

This resort was absolutely amazing. One of the best resorts I have ever stayed in. All the staff here were so nice and respectful and very attentive. Especially our butler David was amazing had everything organized and well put together to make our honeymoon very romantic. Couldn’t have asked for a better Butler and staff.

First time sandals customer & probably our last! We decided to spend our honeymoon at Sandals Montego Bay, we know that everyone is celebrating something but you think you’d at least get the treatment you are told you would & honeymoon package like pictured. From our initial arrival we were told our room was not ready and we were taken to lunch, after about an hour we saw them take our bags, thinking our room was ready, went to club lounge & room was not ready. We watched couple after couple get their rooms & we were told a supervisor was making sure our room was perfect. After waiting over 3 hours for our room we are finally told ok come with me I’ll take you, key card does not work, employee gets housekeeping to let us in & were told they would return with working key cards, they never came. We received day of phone call, explained situation, again told that someone would bring key cards, never did. Called down asking status & was told to come down to club office to get key cards myself. Explained situation to someone who appears to be a manager and stated “so someone told you something and did not follow through” “I will make sure you forget today ever happened.” He did absolutely nothing. Our room had ants crawling all over it, which I was then told they would come spray. (That did help for a portion of our trip, ants still lingered throughout our room) By our second to last night still no honeymoon package turn down after letting them know 2 days we would prefer to have it done, asked again & we finally that night had a few rose petals sprinkled in our room, nothing like what is described. On top of that most of the staff there seem annoyed be you even existing. We come from the service industry and treat everyone well and with kindness & manners. Definitely not the service we expected or paid for, especially on our once in a life time honeymoon! That being said we will not be returning to Jamaica &!Sandals Montego Bay. We still made the best of our trip but everyone stated sandals is going down hill and appears to be true! Wish we could say otherwise. Read less
