🌴 Sandals Montego Bay & Sandals Royal Caribbean

Two Resorts. One Jamaican Romance.

If you’re dreaming of a luxury, adults-only, all-inclusive escape in Jamaica, Sandals gives you something extra special in Montego Bay: two resorts right next to each other — and when you stay at one, you can enjoy the amenities of both. 

That means more dining, more pools, more beach spots, and more pampering — all wrapped in that breezy Jamaican charm.


Part 1: Sandals Montego Bay

Beachfront Bliss + Swim-Up Luxury

Sandals Montego Bay is the original Sandals resort — and it still delivers jaw-dropping beachfront views. It sits directly on a long stretch of private white-sand beach where you can stroll, swim, relax, or enjoy cocktails to the sound of the waves.

What you can expect:

  • A lively but romantic beachfront atmosphere

  • Dining included across multiple restaurants

  • Water sports included like snorkeling and paddleboarding

  • Swim-up bars and oceanfront lounging areas

About the Swim-Up Suites


Sandals Montego Bay offers beautiful swim-up suites where:

  • Your patio leads directly into the pool

  • Some room categories include butler service

  • Many suites include soaking tubs designed for two

These are made for couples who want their own private water retreat steps away from their bed.







Part 2: Sandals Royal Caribbean

Private-Island Romance & Lagoon-Style Serenity

Just a short transfer from Montego Bay sits Sandals Royal Caribbean, known for a more intimate, peaceful atmosphere.

What makes it unique:

  • An exclusive private offshore island with beach areas, a pool, cabanas, and island dining

  • Quiet coves perfect for couples who want privacy

  • Diverse dining experiences right at the resort

  • Lagoon-style pools and swim-up bars

Swim-Up & Over-Water Accommodations

Royal Caribbean also offers:

  • Swim-up suites with lagoon access

  • A set of over-the-water private accommodations — designed for the ultimate romantic escape

These options create that “just us, hidden away” feeling that couples adore. 







Why Stay in Montego Bay?

Because you truly get two vacations in one.

When you stay at Montego Bay or Royal Caribbean, you can enjoy:

  • Shared dining options between both resorts

  • Shared pools and entertainment

  • Easy transportation between properties

Spend a day in the energetic beachfront atmosphere of Montego Bay…
Then slip away to the quieter luxury of Royal Caribbean the next day.

It’s the perfect balance: beachside fun + secluded romance.


Who This Getaway Is Perfect For:
  • Honeymooners or anniversary celebrations
  • Couples needing reconnection + relaxation
  • Girlfriends taking a luxury “just us” getaway
  • Single women who are comfortable sharing a suite and want pampering, sunshine, and adventure
  • Women’s teams or business besties rewarding themselves for a job well done
  • Travelers who want luxury and convenience
  • People who love having choices (without extra planning!)

Final Thought

Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean together create a two-resort escape where every day can feel different — but every moment feels romantic.

If you’d love help planning your Jamaican getaway — including the best room category for YOU (hello, swim-up suites!) — I’m your girl.

Why Negril, Jamaica Is Exactly What Your Heart Needs Right Now

I want to talk to you today about a place that feels like exhaling — Sandals Negril and Beaches Negril. If you’ve been carrying stress, or you’re craving sunshine, peace, laughter, and luxury without having to think too hard… Negril is calling your name.

And yes, after the 2025 hurricane, people have been asking, “How are the resorts doing?”
Here’s the truth: they’re doing beautifully.

Sunset at Beach Resort Negril, Jamaica

Sandals and Beaches Negril experienced mostly cosmetic damage — downed trees, landscaping loss, some outdoor cleanup — but the buildings, rooms, restaurants, pools, and core amenities remained solid. Their teams worked day and night, and the properties have fully reopened, refreshed, strong, and ready for guests. Jamaica is resilient, and these resorts came back with even more warmth, heart, and purpose.

Now let’s talk about why YOU might need to be there.


Unlimited Water Sports That Meet You Where You Are

One thing I love about Negril is that you can be as calm or as adventurous as you want.

For the adventure side of you:
My first time paddleboarding at Beaches Negril

  • Scuba diving (included!)

  • Snorkeling over the reefs

  • Wakeboarding, tubing, kneeboarding

  • Paddleboarding and kayaking

  • Windsurfing

  • Sailing and Hobie Cats

  • Glass-bottom boat rides

  • And yes… those big colorful aquatrikes

All included. No surprise charges. No “add-ons.” Just pure Caribbean fun. 

For the peaceful side of you:

    Star fish and waterskiing
  • Floating in that calm turquoise water

  • Early morning paddleboarding while the sea is still

  • Quiet swims at sunrise

  • Gentle waves setting your whole nervous system at ease


It’s a reset button for your body and your mind.



Food That Feels Like a Vacation All By Itself

Both Sandals Negril and Beaches Negril have amazing dining, but Sandals really shines with its mix of cozy, elegant, and toes-in-the-sand restaurants.

Some favorites you’ll love:

Dinner, breakfast or lunch with a view

  • Fresh seafood right on the beach

  • Caribbean jerk dishes with that irresistible smoky flavor

  • Brick-oven pizza under the palm trees

  • Italian favorites with ocean views

  • Teppanyaki dinners full of laughter and connection

Plus the bars — swim-up bars, beach bars, lounges, and your own in-room minibar. It feels like ease. It feels like luxury without being stuffy. It feels like someone finally said, “Relax, we’ve got you.”


Luxury Relaxation for Any Season of Life

If it’s you and your girls:

Sandals Negril is effortless. Beach hammocks, quiet nooks to nap, butler suites if you want them, and that laid-back Negril vibe that whispers, “You’re safe here. Rest.”

Can you say lazy river? Yes please.
Spa days, sun-soaked mornings, late-night laughter… it’s the kind of trip that refills your soul.

If you’re taking the family:


Beaches Negril is the place.
Waterslides, lazy river, splash park, endless activities for kids and teens — and still that classic Negril beauty for you. The whole family feels seen and cared for.



Travel That Helps Jamaica Heal

Choosing to visit Negril this season isn’t just about treating yourself — though you absolutely deserve that. It also supports resort staff, local families, and the Jamaican tourism economy as they continue rebuilding after the storm. Your presence helps. Your visit matters.


My Personal Invitation to You

Picture this…
You step off the plane and the warm air wraps around you. You’re driven along the coastline, past palm trees and pastel buildings, until you reach a place where the ocean is a color so blue it looks unreal.

You drop your bags in your room, walk straight to the beach, and let the water roll over your feet. And for the first time in a long time… you breathe. 

Whether it’s with your girlfriends, your family, or just you needing space to recharge — Negril is the kind of place that meets you right where you are and reminds you you’re still held, still called to joy, still allowed to live wildly and beautifully.

If you want help planning a girls’ getaway or a family vacation to either Sandals Negril or Beaches Negril, I’m here — and this is the kind of travel planning I love. Just tell me what you’re thinking, and we’ll build something beautiful together.


If you want, I can also create a perfect 3-night or 5-night sample itinerary for either resort — just say the word. mspanostravels@gmail.com
