Review of Sandals Montego Bay

Sandals Montego Bay was a great place to vacation....

Sandals Montego Bay was a great place to vacation. It was our first time to Jamaica and we didn't really know what to expect, but we quickly felt at ease after swimming in the ocean and soaking up the views. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed Montego Bay because after taking a bus to the other sandals resort (Royal Caribbean) we were glad we booked at Montego Bay. It had such a better feel and vibe and the views were more impressive. The planes going by and construction was slightly annoying but after a while you get used to it and the sandals staff actually embraced it (always kiss and wave as the plane goes roaring by what a great business and marketing strategy). The biggest let down of the trip was everything is time oriented and weather related for doing Sandals water sports activities. The weather wasn't the best when we went over thanksgiving but everything from snorkeling to taking a kayak out on the water was subject to fluctuating and inconsistent times. The water sports staff was probably the most inconsistent as if they almost seemed lazy to want to take you snorkeling on the boat. "Oh there's a chance of sprinkling sorry no snorkeling today." All in all the food was great and diverse and we really enjoyed swimming in the ocean and playing volleyball with fellow vacationers. I recommend Sandals Montego Bay but like every vacation it is ALMOST paradise.
