Tropical Bliss

We simply adore visiting this beach as it offers a plethora of amenities ranging from scrumptious food, refreshing drinks to well-maintained changing rooms with invigorating showers. The beach is also equipped with cozy picnic tables nestled under the cool shade of trees, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day out. This secluded beach is truly a hidden gem that promises a delightful experience.

Sea Garden Beach

We had a great time on their sunset cruise. As soon as we got on board, we were welcomed with mimosas. The bartender served delicious drinks and the staff made sure everyone was safe and moving around comfortably. There was a talented saxophonist on board who played amazing music. The ship was clean and the sail was smooth. The seating, especially on the top deck, could have been more comfortable. Sitting directly on the deck wasn't very pleasant. It would have been nice to have cushions or seats. There was a photographer on board who took a lot of pictures, but we realized too late that they were charging $55 for each photo, which was way too expensive. We felt like we wasted our time posing for the photographer instead of taking our own pictures.

Sandals Montego Bay beach
10 Brielle Quinlan

We booked a butler room for our honeymoon and the room was absolutely breathtaking! However, it's unlikely that we will opt for butler service in the future. It was great that they took care of our excursion bookings and restaurant reservations, although only two restaurants actually required that service. Apart from that, we hardly had any interaction with our butler. For us, the extra cost wasn't really worth it. The staff, the food, and the overall experience were truly outstanding. In fact, we were so impressed that we decided to book our next Sandals vacation right then and there. It's definitely something we plan on doing again. And again.

Mahee Bay beach
10 Chandra Reynolds

This place is absolutely incredible! The staff is fantastic! From the front desk to the housekeeping, food service, and entertainment, everyone was exceptional. There was never a dull moment at all! The individuals who truly brought my husband and me out of our comfort zone were JOHNNY BRAVO, SPIDERMAN, SPARK N THE DARK, and STAR FIRE! Remember those names because they are the most outstanding entertainers ever. Riu Palace, please make sure to take good care of them so they can be there when we return. Also, Paul, Audley, and Monica took great care of us every day during meal and snack times. There are so many activities to do both around and within the hotel, so there's no need for external excursions.

Doctor's Cave Beach
10 Kael Michaels.

This beach is truly a wonder with its immaculate, pristine sand that stretches out for miles. The water is so clear that you can see every detail of the underwater world, and it's delightfully warm and refreshing. However, it's important to be cautious when walking along the shoreline as we were surprised to come across a Caribbean Whiptail Stingray that was cleverly camouflaged beneath the sand. It was an incredible sight, but a reminder to always tread carefully. One of the unique features of this beach is the opportunity to witness planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport, adding an exciting element to the already breathtaking scenery.
