Very friendly helpful staff. Nice place to relax. Although we went to Atlantis in the Bahamas last year (2016) and had a much better time and feel we got more value for the money we spent.
13k for 15 days at Sandals is a lot of money. We spent 11k at Atlantis and enjoyed it more. The food is either tasteless or has some type of very spicy ingredients. The room we had was generic looking. We booked 3k in activities over 6 months in advance only to find out that half of them when we got there were "tentative" and would be cancelled if enough people did not book. Would have been nice to know this BEFORE they took 3k+ in payments.! We are not the kind of people to just lay around on the beach. We went to do things on vacation! The drinks are OK, and for sure not watered down. Very strong with alcohol but for sure not the best I have had. The pina colada's were tastless like most of the food. Yes this is all inclusive and meals and drinks are all included. But what good is that if they suck! We both ordered sure n turf at the Montegeo Bay resort and got half a lobster tail that was spicy as hell and a hunk a cow that seemed like it swam over from the state's it was so tough.!!
We enjoyed much more all the food and drinks in the Bahamas and did every activity we booked in advance of our arrival. There is also much more to do on the resort at Atlantis over Sandals.
The best part of our stay were the people. They were awesome and went above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. That being said it is not enough to make us return. We will book at Atlantis in 2018.
Oh, you better like planes flying VERY VERY close to you if you stay at the Montego Bay resort. They are right overhead every 30 minutes due to the airport being adjacent to the property.
