11 - Our Travels to Sandals Montego Bay

The Travel Journey Podcast

So today we are going to chat about all things Montego Bay: things to do, our favorite restaurants and foods we recommend that you eat while at the resort, how far this resort is from the airport, travel tips, and FAQ we get for our clients.

My first time to Sandals Montego Bay was before they remodeled the resort which was years ago I want to say like 10 or 11 years ago. I am so glad we were able to see the way it was compared to how it is now, because it is a totally different resort! Everything about it is spectacular. We have had the opportunity to travel to this resort at least 6 or 7 different times so we are very familiar with the resort.

Kayla and Brett honeymooned at Sandals Montego Bay. They go above and beyond, making it feel more special for the two of you. The complimentary Honeymoon package includes a bottle of chilled sparkling wine, special turndown service with flower petals on your bed and breakfast in bed the morning of your choice.

The Sandals Montego Bay is the first ever Sandals All Inclusive Resort and with all the remodels they have done to this resort, it is spectacular the moment you arrive with your complimentary shuttle and the Sandals staff instantly greets you with your lemon-scented hand towels and a complimentary beverage. You can view the ocean instantly with the open air lobby giving you stunning sea views.

This resort is just 5 minutes from the airport to the resort. After traveling all day it's such a nice perk to arrive at the resort so quickly.

If you upgrade to Butler Service or certain Club Level rooms you get complimentary private car transfers.

Now one thing about being so close to the resort is you do hear planes take off, but you really don't notice them that much.

Of course, dining is included at the resort. Let’s chat about dining because I am all about eating good food. One of my favorite things in life is FOOD!

This resort has over 12 dining options to choose from but staying here they include a complimentary shuttle where you can eat, drink and play at Sandals Royal Caribbean. So you actually have 21 dining options to choose from.

I get asked which is my favorite restaurant all the time and all the restaurants are so good it is so hard to pick one restaurant, but I do love Butch’s Stakehouse. I'm wishing I had a golden fried crab and bay scallops ball or their cast iron garlic shrimp and for the main course we have had a few different things, but I always like to go with the Surf and Turf; the filet mignon and lobster tail is so delicious.

Another place I want to recommend is Sushi the Soy is one of my favorites. Unlimited delicious sushi.

The nightlife and entertainment at the resort is fabulous. Sandals Montego Bay is known for it vibrant atmosphere and I would say that is so TRUE.

They have live shows, music, a piano bar, beach parties (silent night disco) and themed nights such as the white party on Chocolate night.

Latitudes Over-the-Water Bar

The Latitudes Over Water Bar is open to the warm Caribbean breezes where guests can lay in a hammock over the water or sit in a relaxing chair taking in the view of the turquoise Caribbean ocean.

Over-The-Water Chapel

This unique and picturesque venue features stunning 360-degree, panoramic water views and a glass floor aisle, so you can truly be walking on water on your special day.
