S Hotel Jamaica full tour | All-inclusive boutique hotel in Montego Bay

The S Hotel Jamaica is a chic, fun, boutique hotel in Montego Bay, and for four days I explored all of the best that it had to offer. The adults only hotel has two beautiful pools, five restaurants, on Doctor's Cave Beach, and the food and cocktails are amazing. Plus, I checked out the Irie Baths & Spa, enjoyed a mixology session with the bar staff, and took a walk into town.

I was already sold on this hotel for my next vacation. Your video, however, sealed the deal. Thank you so much!

Can we talk about how I had my friends book this resort to celebrate my 40th birthday here just off of this video! Most of my questions were answered and I enjoyed watching. Loved it and can't wait to go!

Wow I absolutely love this video in so many ways. My husband and I are torn between staying here and the Hyatt Zilara for our 20 year Anniversary in May of this year 2024 we'll be in Montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲 and we can't wait. Your video is everything and this place is rated extremely highly for the best place in the world. 1 thing this video doesn't talk about is doing any excursions this is one thing we'd like to do while we're here. Although their still under a travel advisory.

[@wanderpow]

I haven't stayed at the Hyatt yet so good luck deciding, but the S Hotel was fantastic. It's a unique place. The hotel will help you arrange excursions in the area with local operators and there's a lot to do. I didn't experience any while I was there but I've heard great things about rafting nearby, Blue Hole and Secret Falls, and snorkeling. Have a great trip!

@@wanderpow Yw. How much did you pay for your stay? I'm thinking 4 nights in November 2024 for my birthday.

[@wanderpow]

The rate is around $699-$959 USD if you book in advance, and you can get deals with flights as well. You can check rates on Booking, in case that helps: booking.stay22.com/thegate/4zsVuKvZ-T

Amazing! Enjoy the trip!

[@davensokemwa7986]

Do they have a free shuttle to and from the airport?

[@wanderpow]

They don't but I believe you can book a shuttle with them, or taxis are pretty well priced and it's quite close.

[@redman8767able]

@@wanderpowI’m from Jamaica, went back down in 2018 and took my GF. We stayed at Sunscape splash in Freeport (just a little further out). The Taxi for the two of us was $50 dollars total. Hope this helps! You’ll have a great trip. Your taxi will prolly run you about $25-$30 from the airport. Just try to stay on the resort if you can or just don’t leave the strip!

Going on this Sat. Your video has me hyped up lol. I stayed here back in 2008 when it was a Breezes and it was run down ish but fun as ever and they only had a small hot tub on the roof. Can’t wait to see all these upgrades

[@wanderpow]

It's changed so much since then! Have a fantastic trip!

[@subwayfantx1608]

This is a great review done of the "S" hotel and the island of Jamaica. You're personality mends well along with the positive overview of your vacation. Thank you very much for posting this video. I would go on praising your video but other reviewers said exactly what i feel about this video. Thanks to you, I can't wait to go to Jamaica! One question, what month did you visit Jamaica? Thanks again for this video😊😊😊👍👍👍

Thanks very much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! I was there in shoulder season, in mid-May.

I'm interested in horseback riding and going to see the birds.

[@wanderpow]

Sounds great. The hotel can definitely help you arrange both of those with local operators.

[@bobbycardwell1133]

Great video, we are going in two weeks. Can you speak on how safe you felt? There are travel warnings, and I know that may happen, but wanted to see if you felt safe most of the time?

[@wanderpow]

Montego Bay has crime problems and I'd say that outside of the resort it's always best to go with a trusted guide. Generally I saw more efforts to hustle, than steal, but it's wise to take precautions with money and valuables. The hotel itself is very safe. You can always take precautions and put valuables in the in room safe though too.

[@laurenl5843]

I want to go!

[@sonyahodges6923]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing your vacation. Where were the other visitors?😊

[@wanderpow]

Thanks! I film my videos early or when I can get clearance to show the spaces as empty as possible. This was also in off/shoulder season, which can be quieter in Jamaica.

[@tiffanieofficial]

Excellent Review

[@wanderpow]

Thank-you very much!

[@tiffanieofficial]

@@wanderpow I will staying that S Hotel this year and your review was very informative. Nicely done.

[@tiffanieofficial]

@@wanderpow Did you taxi to and from the airport? Can I tip US dollars or should I exchange currency?

[@wanderpow]

@@tiffanieofficial So glad it was helpful! I had a taxi and it's very quick usually. And many places take U.S. currency. You can get Jamaican dollars, but it depends where you plan to use it if it's necessary.

When i book a flight it wont be dont until i check the forecast for the week 😄

[@yutivahaynes6297]

You had a wonderful view of the beach. Do you remember what floor or room you stayed in?

Csnt wait for me and my wife to go thats why im watching this trying to get some knowledge beofer we go in August

[@wanderpow]

Enjoy your trip!

[@preciouschild1725]

Thank you for sharing and for the detailed information. Food looked delicious. Do they provide transfers from the airport? Were the drinks good or watered down? Can you get more than one meal if you are still hungry? We’re any children/teens at the resort? Did they offer any tours? Thank you so much!

[@wanderpow]

Thanks! There are no transfers so you can get a taxi or plan ahead with a transfer. It's pretty cheap. The drinks were fantastic and full strength! And you can eat all day if you like. 😆 It's an adult only hotel otherwise.

[@thejoyofboxing8805]

Excellent video

[@wanderpow]

Thanks very much!

[@joshjnorris]

Hey Andrew... a few questions about the all-inclusive aspect. Is only breakfast and dinner included? Or are the snacks, coffee and lunch also included? and is it all you can eat? Thank you!

[@wanderpow]

It's fully all inclusive unless you want premium wines. They offer those at dinner and possibly at the bars.

[@DorlaChristie]

Sorry if I missed this but how did you get downtown? Does the hotel offer transportation to any of the attractions?

[@wanderpow]

I walked but you can book a taxi. As far as I know the hotel doesn't have a shuttle service, or they didn't last year.

[@vivalageegee]

Awesome video! Did you have to book the activities before going? And are there a lot of bugs like mosquitoes or little animals like lizards around?

[@wanderpow]

Thank-you! And you don't need to sign up for daily activities - you can just show up. You will have to book spa time for the baths though.

[@donaldotsig6818]

Hi great video do they have an asian fusion alecart there that makes seafoof shrimp lobster fried rice etc and do you have access to snorkleing doctors cove when there thanks a bunch

[@wanderpow]

The main all day buffet restaurant often has a mix of meals and international dishes, but there's no dedicated Asian fusion restaurant. For snorkeling you'd want to book an excursion through one of the hotel's partners.

[@Inksplatters_]

Great video boss are all the restaurants in the hotel free or extra charge?

[@wanderpow]

Thanks! If you're going with an all-inclusive package, all the restaurants are included.

[@florencedavis9732]

Like Breathless?

[@alexthomas1498]

Hi we’re thinking of booking here. What time of the year is best time to go ?

[@wanderpow]

Jamaica has their dry season from around November to April, so there's less rain and the temperature is steady. I was there in May and it only rained for about an hour or so, a couple days.

[@najaepaige2256]

Is the rocksteady restaurant casual?

[@wanderpow]

Dinners at all the restaurants are meant to be a little more dressy. So no swimsuits or anything like that. As long as it's no swimwear or looks rough, I'd say you're fine.

[@rachaelgoldstein6134]

Me too lol😂

[@florencedavis9732]

Is this hotel all inclusive?

[@GingerLuna-pt2wj]

Yes

[@valenciabraham5606]

is there a room for two adults
