We got married here in a gazebo in April 2005 with a couple of awesome employees as our witnesses. We paid for extra wedding photos that the photographer took us all over the resort for. And they turned out great! It was a wonderful week that ended with a super fun beach party! The staff were incredible and we had an absolute blast! Be careful about leaving the resort to go to the markets or go with a group.

Best review of a Sandals I’ve ever seen, you even told us about towel locations. I have been to Sandals 4 times I never considered this one because of the close proximity to the airport, I will be putting this on my list because of your review. Right now I’m scheduled to go to Sandals Royal Bahamian in December. Keep up the great reviews.

Holy crap, lol! When I was there in 1990,we had to take a bus, and it was more than 5 minutes. Not only that, they passed vehicles on the other side going up a hill and around a curve! Scared the crap out of me! 😂 I think we were in the beach front rooms. I remember the room number, 711. I remember the bb court, the swim up bar not far from the hot tub. So much has changed! Lol, the over water gazebos used to be more private! Omg, the swim up bar is still there! Do they still have the peacock and peahen free roaming? The best was the cataraman boat, snorkeling, drinking, and riding the waves on the rope loung, and the trip to Duns River Falls! Oh, and the special dinner upstairs with the ackee and salt fish! Lol, that Cricket Bar used to be a dance club I think.

Hey guys, awesome video, thank you very much! I was suppose to be there today, but since the resort closed down I had to reschedule to July. I initially had a B1B category room but in July that wasn’t available and Sandals extended a courtesy and changed it to a OBT room. Would you happen to know which is better? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rob! Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we really appreciate it! We’re sorry to hear about your trip! So it looks like you’re going from a Beachfront Super Luxe One Bedroom Butler Suite with Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub and moving to a Beachfront One Bedroom Butler Suite with Tranquility Soaking Tub. The rooms are decently similar, but the B1B is pricier, and would often be considered the better room. Please let us know if you have any other questions, or if we can be of assistance with booking Sandals or any other future journeys! :) Happy Travels!

Hoffman Happy Travels thank you very much, that’s exactly what I figured! It’s always nice to get what you initially paid for, but I’ll keep a look out if that room becomes available during that week! The issue is I’m 50/50 if I should keep the room the gave me now or book later on to obtain the B1B again. Well thanks again for everything, and God bless! 🙏🏽

11:50 It's not a new room type. That cottage is one of four privately owned cottages on the resort. It's owned by a charming but eccentric millionaire who spends half the year at the resort. He designed and built it himself. He lives in the top floor. The other rooms are available for rent and are very lovely in a fairy cottage kind of way. 14:34 Cottage 16 the "swanky" one you mentioned is swanky for a reason, it's the owner's cottage. He or some of his family members stay there a few days every year when they're in town. Butch"s the steak place is named after the owner.....well at least his nickname - Butch. That's what everyone in the island calls him. Interesting you saw room 1813. That is the Warren Cottage, another of the four private cottages. Virigina Warren the owner gave 250,000 dollars towards the building of the wedding chapel if it would be named after her late husband Frank and consecrated as a Catholic Chapel. That's why they have Catholic services there. The first wedding to take place in the chapel was actually an employee's. A former GM back in 1997. Fantastic review by the way. Enjoyed every minute of it.

@edricdayne35714 жыл бұрын
@@HoffmanHappyTravels No worries. It was interesting to see all the changes. Incidentally, here's another bit of Sandals trivia which many people including the employees don't know is that Butch's nickname comes from the fact that he was a very large baby and someone said how butch he looked as a joke and the nickname stuck. Although Sandals Montego Bay was the first to open under the name Sandals, it is actually a much, much older hotel originally called Bay Roc going all the way back to the 1950s. When Butch took it and over in 1980 along with Carlyle on the Bay (which is now called Sandals Inn) he re-branded it Sandals. Since it was one of the early all inclusives and the concept hadn't yet taken off they caused a bit of a sensation when their first advertisement said "Sandals, that's all you need" leading some to think it was a hotel for nudists not an all inclusive where everything was available. Back in those days when smoking was still common (remember when airplanes had ashtrays in the armrests) cigarettes were also included you just needed to tell the gift shop your room number. Haven't been back there in ages since i moved to the far east. Do they still have the highest number of repeat guests? There was one couple also named Warren (no relation to Virginia) who had been to Sandals Montego Bay (and Sandals Montego Bay alone) over 60 plus times. looking forward to more of your videos
