Advantages: Sandals in genuinely "All Inclusive", and oozes quality Disadvantages: Jamaica seems festooned with hustlers
...I went to Sandals MontegoBay for 2 weeks in August 1997 for my honeymoon. It seemed pricey at first glance (it was about 3400 ukp for us both) but this turned out to be pretty good value for money.
The food was excellent, there were at least 5 restaurants to choose from including a Chinese, an Italian and an A La Carte, all at least four courses. You could also pop along to Sandals Royal Jamaican or Sandals Inn for a change. Sandals Royal Jamaican has an excellent Indonesian restaurant you have to get to in a "traditional" Balinese boat, but it's well worth the effort. All of the staff did their best to give you a good holiday and the activities were enjoyable, though you weren't forced to join in.
The resort is private, some people think this means you miss a lot but we weren't there to soak up the local culture, and I think I...

Advantages: Amazing Beaches Disadvantages: The long Flight
...If you’re up for an irie time, visit Jamaica! We walked Waterfalls, swam with dolphins and had banana lessons! This holiday was a totally new experience, when booking our holiday we decided we wanted to go a bit further a field and after looking through piles of travel brochures decided on MontegoBay, Jamaica. We arrived after a 10 hr journey to find a 6 hr time difference so even though it felt like the middle of the night it was still sunny and the middle of the afternoon! We checked into our hotel The Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort, this process took so long, After this we were taken to our rooms that were nice.
The hotel was based on All Inclusive this meant we could eat and drink as much as we liked. The facilities for this were very good. The main buffet available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then there were 3 other...

Advantages: it was clean and had lots of trips Disadvantages: we spent over £900 on aan all inclusive holiday
...I went on my honeymoon here and as it was a once in a lifetime holiday as we have 4 kids and we went without them, so we decided we would spend alot on a dream holiday. Well it wasn't, we found some of the staff very rude there, and it was hard to find your rep. It was all inclusive which was good but you have to tip alot and if you dont then you were ignored,plus we had to pay to play tennis aswell. so we spent a few hundred £ on stuff that we didn't expect. The room was nice though and clean, except for a water leak from the air conditioning we had no complaints. the whole resort was clean. The private beach was lovely, the water park was ok but not as big as it looked on the website. Our holiday was made by the people we met there....

We stayed at this Hotel in June and had originally booked two studio apartments but on arrival we were upgraded to a two bedroom villa this may have affected my opinion of this hotel.
The only complaint we could possibly have made about this Hotel is... more
