About Sandals Montego Bay
Sandals Montego Bay is where it all began. When Gordon “Butch” Stewart opened the first Sandals resort on Doctor’s Cave Beach in Montego Bay in 1981, he created the blueprint for the luxury all-inclusive concept that now spans 17 properties across the Caribbean. Staying at Sandals Montego Bay is not just a vacation. It is a stay at the original.
Set directly on Doctor’s Cave Beach — one of Montego Bay’s most famous stretches of sand — the resort combines an in-town location with all the hallmarks of the Sandals experience. Multiple restaurants, pools, water sports, and evening entertainment are all included. The proximity to Montego Bay means guests who want to explore the city, visit the Hip Strip, or access a wider variety of excursions can do so with ease.
Sandals 2.0 Renovation
Sandals Montego Bay is undergoing a full Sandals 2.0 renovation following its closure in October 2025. The renovation will update all suites, dining venues, and resort facilities to the brand’s newest standards. When it reopens December 18, 2026, guests will experience a thoroughly modernized version of the original Sandals resort with a confirmed reopening date and early booking opportunities available now.
Location
Sandals Montego Bay is located directly in Montego Bay and is one of the most convenient Sandals properties to reach from the airport. Sangster International Airport is minutes away, making it a strong choice for guests who want to minimize travel time. The in-town location gives guests easy access to shopping, the Hip Strip, and a wide variety of tours and excursions across western Jamaica.
