Reviewed By KMK202i chose this property for its location i had stayed there several years back when it was a ritz carlton hoping for continuity in service and care however i was sadly disappointed. room types requested were not granted and the rooms we received seemed lived in. Multiple arguments with front desk staff and multiple room changes. Broken elevator for days! bugs in room! these are just a few of the problems we encountered.

Its the little things/lack of consistency
Reviewed By Alison GIt’s our last night here. I had to write this because it was the last straw for my disappointment. Firstly, like other reviews mention, the grounds are well kept, staff are always cleaning/sweeping. Many of the staff are extremely nice and very helpful. Only a handful that didn’t offer a smile. We stayed in the noisy tower called Sentry. It has an active pool, playing music most of the day and games. We are one floor above the buffet restaurant, the Pelican grill, the steak restaurant and the Caribbean restaurant. Needless to say, this tower and our room smelt of fried food 24 hrs/day. I really cannot rate the food/restaurants higher than 2/5. It is sub par. Not even the French fries are good! Let me say this…. Check in was very quick and easy. No welcome drink offered. We went to our room which had only 1 washcloth and 1 towel, no hand towels or shower mat on day 1. Day 2 we came to our room twice and had no bathroom towels etc. We had to call for them AGAIN and received them at 4:16pm. Day 3 our last day (yay) we got 3 extra towels, no washcloths. I give up! Tried to get an ice bucket with ice and 2 flutes for our anniversary champagne we bought with us. That was like jumping through hoops. No cups, no coffee making, nothing like that in room except drinks in fridge. We decided to run the bath and experience the lovely soaking tub. We used the last of our shower gel for the bubbles. We twisted the large knob inside the bath to trap the water, no plug in site. Well, the darn water started going down the drain with slurpy sounds. We were left with bubbles in an empty bath. We were p*ssed!! That was the last straw for me. There is a Split in the wood of the door so we can see daylight outside. No tall dressing mirror No boxes of Kleenex in room or bathroom No replacement shower gel No salt, pepper etc at tables in dining rooms/restaurants Good Small buffet Breakfast room but a nice choice. Lovely coffee/ice cream shop Bedroom in Sentry tower modern and bright. Plenty of seating and storage in room (Deluxe ocean view room) Hotel furnishings and decor very nice in Sentry block Simply said, I will not be coming back. Plus there are some staff at the sentry pool bar that only gave great service if you were greasing their palm with $tips. What a shame! I decided to give the Jewel brand a try but NEVER AGAIN. They are not consistent especially with anything that needs to be replaced in the bathroom, food or drinks. Sorry folks, it wasn’t for us.

S Hotel - Jamaican Classy
Reviewed By richardmaloney1988Where do I even begin. The S Hotel is top notch. First off, it is a five minute drive from the Montego Bay airport. No need to deal with the wild Jamaican roads. The property is beautiful, situated at one of Jamaica’s most famous and wonderful beaches, Doctors Cave Beach Club. There is a main pool and a breathtaking Sky Pool. The Staff at S Hotel was attentive and treats all guests with such respect. There staff was the best I have experienced at all of my many stays to Jamaica. The hotel is all-inclusive so drink as many Red Stripes and eat as much Jerk Chicken as your little heart desires. The 24/7 Cafe serves up the finest Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, pastries and Jamaican Patties. We came to the hotel with your two young daughters (4 and 2) and the staff treated them like royalty. The Spa Experience was so great, I got an 80 minute Deep Tissue Massage and loved it. Walking distance to Montego Bay’s Hip Strip but if I’m being honest, there is no reason to leave the property. S pays homage to Jamaica culture with class. Can’t wait to book my next stay at S. Trip typeVacation · Family

Honeymoon
Reviewed By Tourist63145060641It was our honeymoon so we booked the preferred swim out room. Well worth it. Everything was great. Our room was located on the side facing the piano bar. So there are only 6 rooms to the private swim out pool. We could sit in the pool and watch and listen to the entertainment at night. Great views of the bay and the houses on the hills. With the preferred you get a butler. We had Dorwin and Duran excellent people. They helped out so much. Very easy to talk to and pleasant all the time. From bringing us lunch at the beach to champagne and fruit to the room. Whatever we needed they helped. Any questions, they had answers. Can’t say enough nice things about them. Helped make our honeymoon great. Also can’t forget about the bell hop Matthew another good person. always happy and knew our name. Everyone we met there were nice and very helpful. Thanks Jay and Leighann m.

Great people and service
Reviewed By 235antonettedOcean view room with a Butler and nightly turndown service… From reception to checkout everything was great. Letresha in the breakfast service area was very helpful and friendly. Sharon in house keeping kept our room in immaculate condition. Our favorite butler was Teriann,who responded immediately to any of our requests. The Jamaican buffet next to the beach had amazing offerings during lunch service. Favorite restaurant for dinner was Japanese and surf and turf.

Breathless STILL left me Breathless!
Reviewed By MrandMrsLWMThis was my 1st time at Breathless since January 2020. It is still as amazing now as it was back then. The food is wonderful especially the daily breakfasts at Spoon and dinner at Portofino (Secrets side). The grounds and beach are still beautiful but what makes me keep coming back is the outstanding service and hospitality from all the staff there. I want to personally shout out and thank our outstanding butler, David, our housekeeper Miss Patricia and bartenders Mr. Oneal and Chadrick. You all made us feel like royalty and family at the same time. We will definitely be back again! Until next time!

Secrets St. James Poolside Waitress - Nalisha
Reviewed By robincA9762YKWe had the absolute best poolside waitress during our stay! Nalisha was always making sure we had everything we needed and even before we could ask for a refill on our drinks she was on her way with refills. Absolutely loved having her for the week. If you go to Secrets track her down poolside and you will be set.
