Secrets St. James Montego Bay

This resort is very big. Most of the restaurants are at the end of the resort. If you happen to be staying at the other end, like we were, be prepared to do a lot of walking between your room and restaurants and entertainment. It seems the bars have a daily limit of bottles of top shelf liquor, when the bottle is empty no more till the next day. The staff are vrey friendly and helpful.

19 friends and family went to Secrets St. James in Montego Bay for our daughter's wedding. The best time was had by all. The staff made sure that everyone was taken care of personally. Everything from the accommodations and the food and drinks to the service was outstanding. A very special thank you to Andrae at Bar Manatee, Everet at the Marlin Bar and especially Shakeena at the Coco Cafe who made us the best espresso every day.

Family trip to help for a much needed getaway. I travelled with (3) couples and we had a blast and will plan to return soon. 1) hotel was clean and rooms were nice. We started off in one room and asked for a change the next day. They quickly honored our request and moved us to the fourth floor to enjoy some of the amazing views sea. The cleaning crews always kept our quarters nice with an abundance of towels and a well stocked mini bar 2) food was ok but I didn’t go there just for the food. There was an array of different restaurants to chose from most of which didn’t require an advance reservation. Only hibachi table needed a reservation so we just sat at regular table. For thanksgiving day, they really brought in foods that catered to the holiday…jerk chicken stations were in an abundance too One thing they could improve on is increasing number of wait staff at the restaurants to minimize your wait. There were many evenings we would have a wait for a table to be seated but the venue had tons of open seating. Perhaps if they had more wait staff, guests could be seated upon arrival with no wait 3) tons of activities to do while at the hotel to cater to your needs. For me, I’m perfectly ok with doing nothing but they had pool side DJ, special parades on Tksgiving, live music and other festive activities including fire performance that ended with fireworks. Since this was an adult only spot, we loved not having any kids running around!! 4) waitstaff was great. Very cordial and always complimentary. They made you feel welcomed, at home and did their best to honor your requests. We just loved “Daniel”, he was our wait staff at the beach. He kept me hydrated with water and Those Miami vice. And we loved Jamaal..the bellman at hostess stand. His smiles, interactions and dialogue with customers helped set the tone for our days. We really felt safe.
