Review of Sandals Montego Bay

Montego Bay is the original Sandals resort and wit...

Montego Bay is the original Sandals resort and with that it is very spread out along the beach it resides on. The resort is maybe 5 minutes from the airport terminal and the only thing between the coast and the airport is the resort. There is a bit of construction going on currently to expand a few more rooms and some of the support areas at the entry.
The food and drinks here never leave you asking for anything other than a take home box. The bars are never too crowded and are fairly fast to serve. The drinks are never watered down, so learn to pace, and the drinks are never small. There is no limit to the food or drink you can order almost any hour of the day. If you are planning your trip here start trying to book some of your meals that require reservations at least 2 or 3 days before arriving.
The aquatics are fairly diverse and offer a fairly wide time frame to use them. They do have scuba diving, ensure you have a medical release from your home doctor to dive, otherwise be ready to drop 120 dollars to have the resort Dr. Give you a waver.
The rooms are what the brochure and website show and then some, even the mini bar in the room has full bottles of black label jonny walker, local reserve select Rum, absolute vodka, and Gin. Those are expected to be consumed before you leave the resort and can be refilled daily. You are also welcome to take the bottles out to the beach and have a personal party.
Overall this is a fantastic place to be for any length of time. I did prefer the royal bahimian in Nassau Bahamas.
