Listed by their distance from the Airport

We feel obligated to put this section in now because so many resorts are listing themselves as being in Montego Bay now. Part of the allure of Montego Bay is the convenience of being close to the airport.

A perfect example is the Royalton Blue Waters, which is located in an area we consider Trelawny, but is now referred to as Montego Bay. All of these resorts will be closer than either Negril, Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay.
