Destination Spotlight: Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica

Updated: Oct 22, 2023

Montego Bay is Sandals first-ever all-inclusive resort, where crystal-clear turquoise waters meet white sandy beaches, and the rhythm of reggae fills the air.

It is located on Jamaica’s North Coast, less than 15 minutes from Sangster International Airport.

My husband and I chose this venue for our honeymoon and stayed for 7 nights in April 2021. This was during the COVID pandemic so things were a little different then, but we still had the most amazing time enjoying each other’s company and experiencing the beautiful beach, resort, and spa in Montego Bay. (Check out my blog titled Protect Yourself with Travel Insurance).

From the moment you arrive, you'll be enveloped in the warmth of Jamaican hospitality and the opulence of this adults-only retreat. The accommodations range from cozy beachfront rooms to luxurious suites with private pools, all designed with comfort and style in mind. Sandals' reputation for exceptional service and attention to detail shines through in every aspect of your stay, ensuring that you have a truly unforgettable experience.

Rooms & Suites

We were able to experience the epitome of luxury and romance with the Beachfront One Bedroom Butler Villa Suite at Sandals Montego Bay. This exclusive room category, also known as the Love Nest Butler Suite, offers a haven of opulence and intimacy. Indulge in the comfort of a king-size, four-poster bed, draped in luxurious linens. The suite features a flat-screen TV for your entertainment, as well as a bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. The separate living room area provides a cozy space to relax, complete with a wet bar stocked with premium liquors, ensuring your ultimate enjoyment. Step outside onto the extended patio, just a few steps from the sand, and soak in the incredible views of the pristine beach. We were able to enjoy the attentive and dedicated Butler service catered to our every need.
