As the premier property of the Sandals resort line, Montego Bay has been a favorite destination for Southern Travel Agency staff and the couples we service since its innovative beginning in 1981. Today, vacationers at the venue where Sandals pioneered and evolved the concept for their world-renowned all-inclusive resorts can easily see why the company continues to lead the luxury travel industry.
Sandals Montego Bay Review: Insights from our Sandals Travel Experts
At the Sandals Montego Bay, every detail has been designed with couples in mind. From its tranquil setting on Jamaica’s longest private beach to the lively resort atmosphere, facilitated by energetic staff and fresh entertainment options, this all inclusive resort has mastered balancing couples’ needs for enjoying one another’s undisturbed company and engaging in stimulating social activities.
On our most recent holiday, we were notably impressed by a number of recent updates, completed in 2018 and solidifying Montego Bay’s stance as Jamaica’s leading resort property, according to the World Travel Awards.
Renovations include
- brand new luxury swim-up suites,
- an over-the-water wedding chapel featuring 360º views and a glass floor aisle,
- Latitudesº Over Water Bar, and
- two new restaurant concepts: Butch’s Steak & Seafood, and the Soy Sushi Bar.
Each restaurant at the Montego Bay has a unique, internationally-themed cuisine. Our personal favorite was Café de Paris, a French-inspired pastry shop with a mouthwatering selection of sweet and savory treats. The Jerk Shack is also a must-try, featuring a menu full of authentic Jamaican spice!
