We are asked very frequently. Which Sandals Resort in Montego Bay do you recommend, Sandals Montego Bay or Sandals Royal Caribbean. This is a fairly easy question to answer. Keep in mind, we stay at all the Sandals Resorts, so we know what is different about each one. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it:)

If you have narrowed your resort choices to these 2 resorts, you really can’t go wrong, they are both amazing. These 2 resorts are perfect for you, if this is what you are looking for:

• Couple Only Romance Vibe
• Amazing Beach and true Beachfront Resorts (new resorts aren’t allowed to be this beachfront)
• Authentic Jamaican feel, owned and ran by Jamaicans
• Great food and service
• Close to the Montego Bay airport
• Tons of dining options

The beach at Sandals Montego is one long stretch of wide white sand beach. Sandals Royal Caribbean has 7 scalloped beaches. I give both an A+. Water-skiing is available at Sandals Montego Bay, but not at Sandals Royal Caribbean due the reefs.

Don’t forget you have full exchange privileges between the 2 with transfers included.

“As Steve sees it”

Choosing between these 2 Sandals Resorts is made easier by the fact that you can not make a bad decision. You would love either one of these resorts, but they definitely have their different personalities.

Sandals Montego Bay is the party animal of all the Sandals. Don’t take that to mean every one here is young, but this resort is definitely for the young at heart. This resort has more repeat visits every year than any other Sandals. Some of the guests have been coming here for a great time for 40 years.

Sandals Royal Caribbean is fun also, but much quieter and calmer. With the cove beaches, everyone is more spread out, so you always get the intimate resort feel, very chill.

Location is the last item i’d like to point out. Sandals Montego Bay is 2 minutes from the airport. We’ve had a few clients that were annoyed by the jet noise that you have around noon and around 4 pm. Most guests just smile and wave and this is part of the atmosphere. Sandals Royal Caribbean is 15 minutes away and does not have airport noise.
