Sandals Royal Caribbean

We had an amazing last minute vacation to Jamaica. Wonderful service from butlers Andre and Sheldon, housekeeper Rosan, and bartender Shawayne "Bob." Highly recommend! We have been to multiple Sandals resorts and this one of the best. We already booked another trip. Check out the piano bar and fire dancers.

We enjoyed our week at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay. A short journey from the airport. We had club level and they took us right in and promptly to our room. We had a swim up, room 10104… I would recommend this section quiet and has a big hot tub there too. I would choose rooms 10101, 10102, 10103 or 10104. These rooms have the most sun. The restaurants were good favorites were Thai and Bombay. We were in Negril last year which was great too. Would recommend either Sandals. Negril had a bigger beach area. Next year we are going to to South Coast Sandals, can’t wait to try another Sandals location.

Last week was our 2nd time at SRC (January 15-20th). We opted for the same room (Windsor Walkout) and it was even more beautiful than we remembered. Every staff member we can in contact with was friendly and accommodating. We would like to recognize the following staff: Ava: She went above and beyond to make sure we had the drinks we wanted in our room and that all of the details for our private beach dinner were perfect. She checked in with us almost every day. Shawayne (at the pool bar):He not only remembered us from last year, but always went out of his way to make us the best drinks and even experiment with some new flavors. He also made us feel like we were his favorite guests. Morris (at the round bar):He took initiative to refill our drinks even before we asked. He is funny and we had some great conversations. Josh (the piano man, and his wife): As returners to SRC, we couldn’t wait to hear Josh at the piano bar again. We joked that we were his managers because we told everyone one we met that they should meet us at the piano bar. Josh and his wife do a beautiful set at the fire pit on the main beach that is a must see/hear. They are such a talented couple! Kimona: she works so hard and was our server at Bombay and Spices for breakfast as well as at The Mariner and the Jerk Shack for lunch on different days. She is so sweet, and her smile is infectious. Lady J: from pool games to night entertainment, she is the queen. She is energetic and friendly and an extremely talented vocalist. Rowe: he takes a lot of pride in his job. From Playmaker to entertainer, he engages guests and makes things fun. Asheen: the machine, his positive energy is infectious. He is always interested in how your day is going and loves to have conversations that will allow you to get to know each other better. Garfield: his laugh is unlike any other. Part chef, part server, all love! He makes you feel at home. Shemar (Dr Smooth): is another member of the entertainment staff who is friendly and loves to see you smile. He is also a fantastic dancer. All of the security guards (day and night) stationed at the water sports area from January 15th-20th: thank you for your vigilance and dedication to guest safety is so reassuring. Every guard that we encountered was friendly and we had some great conversations. Club Sandals surprised us with a dessert surprise in our room for our anniversary as well as a card and rose petals. Restaurants: La Jardinier and La Tavola are definitely our favorites! Make sure to get the escargot and french onion soup (French) and steak (Italian). In our opinion, the steak at La Tavola is far superior to that of the food at Butch’s at MoBay. Spices changed their menu from our stay last year. We preferred the previous menu, but the food this year was fine as well. The Cricketer pub is great for late night food! Definitely check out the Jerk Shack for lunch on the private island! Tips: Make sure you check the TVs by Spices and by the lobby for the lists of daily activities. They are so fun, and are a great way to meet people! We met a couple last year who we stayed in touch with and re-booked with for our most recent trip. There are so many guests that return to SRC at the same time each year (there were at least 4 couples from our trip this year that were also there last year). The resort is relatively small and definitely has a quaint vibe. We have already connected with some of our new friends on social media and look forward to seeing them again. Take advantage of the free water sports! Definitely get Club MoBay for arrival and departure. It makes things go SO smoothly! Overall, SRC is our favorite destination! We can’t wait to return to our Jamaican home!

This was our second time at Sandals Royal Caribbean. I cannot say enough positive things about the resort and its staff. One person was nicer than the next. The variety of food and beverages is unparalleled. The rooms are ample and spacious. Butler and maid service were very attentive and never left us wanting for anything. We have left our deposit for our third trip in January 2026 and are very much looking forward to it.

My wife and I recently returned from Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay Jamaica. We had such a great time. We really enjoyed the French restaurant, Spices and the Jerk Shack. Rosan took such great care of us all week. We met her when we visited there in 2022. She remembered us and went above and beyond in caring for us for the second time. We did not have butler service this time, but she made us feel as though we did. We look forward to returning and will request Rosan if possible. We also ran into our butler from last year’s stay at Sandals Dunn’s River, Roland. He’s still working hard and doing an excellent job.
