As always we had a great time. The playmakers are some of the most talented people ever and always make me feel special. Shelly, Kemar, Ricardo, Kevaun, String Bean, Tasha, Scion and all the others are all people I consider family and friends. Josh at the piano bar always makes sure we have a great time.

Sandals Montego Bay was amazing. Resort was in pristine condition. Beach size was very nice. We stayed in the Honeymoon Butler beach front swim up room. It was very nice having immediate pool access. And the view from room was great! Our Butlers Marvin Stephen were extraordinary. The resort restaurants were pretty good. Didn’t have a “bad” meal entire time. Really liked Dino’s Pizzeria and Soy. We did several excursions to include bamboo river rafting, Appleton Rum Estates tour that included stop at YS Falls, and Rose Hall at night. We loved all three but one catch to the Appleton tour is there is close to a 2.5 hour ride there and back so it is all day but the views of the Jamaican mountains were great. Read less

My daughter and I have just returned from Sandals Montego Bay and the trip excelled our expectations in every single way, but what stood out the most for us was the service from every single member of staff we met, but there are a few people we wanted to thank personally. Our Butlers were Danesha and Asha and were the two kindest, warmest, funniest ladies, but so incredibly professional at the same time and we felt so looked after and safe for the entirety of our stay. All of the servers in the restaurants were so welcoming and efficient but I'd like to give a special mention to one who stood out and that was Ricardo in Cucina Romana, what a delightful and charming young man, a true credit to the Sandals brand. And last but not least the wonderful String bean and Scion, our trip just wouldn't have been the same without them. My daughter has already booked to return with her boyfriend and I can't see us ever going on holiday again unless it's to Sandals Montego Bay. Read less

My wife and I chose Sandals Montego Bay as our third Sandals trip having excellent experiences at both Grenada and The Grand St. Lucian. We figured going to the first Sandals, the one which set the standard, would be a great experience. We were so wrong. We always book Club Sandals and the staff there were not helpful, we constantly had to call and ask for wine, three requests for a bottle of white wine, orders from room service which never arrived, twice! We were told by the Concierge we couldn’t dine at Butch’s because only Four Tops were available for the week. We inquired about Butch’s less than 24 hours after arrival. More calls looking for wine and room service, no improvement, Club Sandals would promise improvements but it never came. Finally after the Air Conditioning in our room stopped working I asked to speak to the Duty Manager Christopher who got our room changed fairly quickly, got us a reservation at Butch’s the next day. By the way, there were four top tables with only two people at them! Was our Club Sandals Concierge lying? Christopher checked on us through out the week, which was nice. He promised us Loyalty Points for the inconvenience for us having to call and remind their staff what we needed repeatedly. Sad to report, the Loyalty Points Christopher promised never showed up either. I’m done calling Sandals. We’re done for good. Not worth the money if you have to remind the staff to provide the basics. Overall the staff wasn’t rude, just not cordial. The most interesting was the Bartender with no name tag who told us to call him, Giambino, not his real name…We met Chris, the new General Manager, he was nice, he gave us his card, said to email him, honestly I tired of asking. We’re done. Read less
