Jamaica Montego Bay Hotels Overview

The Montego Bay region boasts a superb selection of hotels, ranging from very expensive world-class resorts to notable bargains. There's also a broad scale and diverse selection of all-inclusive resorts, which are all reviewed together for easy comparison at the very end of this section. Most of the big full-service resorts are frequently included in package tours. Booking a package will make the rates much more reasonable.

Each type of property attracts a different crowd. The deluxe Montego Bay hotels such as Round Hill, Tryall, and Half Moon are for veterans of Caribbean travel. Many guests at these hotels and resorts are repeat visitors, and in some cases have visited them 20 or more times.

The all-inclusive resorts in Montego Bay tend to attract young, starry-eyed couples and honey-mooners on their first trips to Jamaica. These places tend to be a little noisy, decadent, and no-holds-barred as a result.

Finally, the smaller resort properties listed here as moderately or inexpensively priced tend to attract middle-aged couples (as opposed to the young crowd at Sandals-type places). Guests at these smaller properties tend to be more experienced travelers, often Europeans, and are independent-minded enough to view the hotel mostly as a place to bunk down at night.

Making Hotel Reservations

If you arrive to Jamaica without a hotel reservation (not recommended in Jamaica), begin your search for a room as early in the day as possible. If you arrive late at night without a reservation, you may have to take what you can get-often in a price range much higher than you'd like to pay.

Montego Bay has become a year-round destination, and summers aren't as tranquil as they once were. Nonetheless, hotels still have lower occupancy from mid-April to mid-December. Off-season hotel discounts, which can be substantial, are granted at resorts during slow times.
