Secrets Resorts Montego Bay Jamaica

I have recently returned from a wonderful trip to the Secrets hotels in Montego Bay, Jamaica. We stayed on the Secrets St James side in an ocean view room. The complex is made up of the two hotels with full exchange privileges. The entire complex is oceanfront with a gorgeous beach area with views of some of the most wonderful sunsets I have ever seen. We spent every evening watching them from our balcony before we went to dinner.

There are several nice pools within the complex with swim up bars and pool side waiter service. Each had plenty of chairs and several activities planned through out the day. The beach was perfect with plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The ocean was nice and calm and was great for swimming and snorkeling.

Most of the restaurants are located on the Secrets Wild Orchid side in sort of a “main street” set up with shops and a coffee shop. I was not that thrilled with their breakfast buffet but it did have a lot to offer. You can also try room service for breakfast. I truly love Oceana and the Seaside Grill for lunch. These are two of my favorite restaurants for lunch and dinner. I love the Ala’ carte lunch menu and they are conveniently located right next to the pool. They offer the best dining for couples looking for ambiance and a more intimate dining experience.

Each night the entertainment team had something going on and they offered a free shuttle to Margaritaville. They had a beach party sponsored by Margaritaville. It was a ton of fun and they had great music and drinks.

I truly loved this hotel and I am a huge fan of Jamaica. No language barrier, great Jamaican food, Appleton Rum and Blue Mountain Coffee. Don’t forget about the wonderful music ! Ya-Mon  Call us today and come visit the Secrets hotels in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Peace, Love and Respect!

Now Resorts Jade Pool
Now Resorts are under the AM Resorts collection which features Now, Dreams, Secrets, Zoety, Sunscape and the new Breathless brand. They are located in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.  Originally, I believe the plan was to have Now Resorts be a step down from the Dreams brand but with their excellent facilities, room categories and food quality they have surpassed all expectations and are atop the review boards.

Now Resorts are very family friendly but with oceanfront rooms and a preferred club program they are also wonderful for honeymooners, anniversaries or even a spa vacation.  Here is a little information on each hotel.
