This is our first-ever stay at a Sandals resort—Montego Bay—and we chose it to celebrate our honeymoon. Overall, it has been a truly wonderful experience so far. The absolute highlight of our trip has been the entertainment team and a few standout staff members who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Demario (aka Super Mario) was the heart of our vacation—he brought incredible energy, led fun beach games, danced with guests, and took the time to have real conversations. By the end of the trip, I didn’t just see him as part of the staff, but as a true friend. Lady J, Crazy Chris, and Shania were also fantastic—talented, warm, and so much fun to be around. Every show and activity they led was a blast and made each day exciting. The nightly shows have been absolutely great—fun, high-energy, and well put together. The DJs have also been excellent, keeping the vibes going and making every evening feel like a party. Jordan was another standout—we absolutely loved him. His saxophone performances were nothing short of amazing. His talent and kindness added something truly special to our evenings. And Leonardo, our favorite bartender, not only made incredible drinks but was also a genuinely great guy—always welcoming and fun to chat with. That said, not all staff members were very friendly. Some didn’t seem happy to be there and carried a negative demeanor, occasionally coming off as rude. This was disappointing, especially considering the high standards Sandals is known for. We’ve also found the dining experience a bit lacking. The food has been just okay—nothing to write home about. Breakfast restaurants open later than ideal for early risers. In fact, I’m actually writing this review while I wait for somewhere to open for breakfast. Lunch options are also limited, as most restaurants only open for dinner, which makes daytime dining feel repetitive and restricted. Despite those few issues, the incredible staff members we mentioned made our vacation unforgettable. Their energy, kindness, and dedication to guest experience truly made all the difference. We’re so glad we chose Sandals for our first all-inclusive experience!
