Sandals Royal Caribbean
Jamaica · Montego Bay · 15 min from MBJ
Closed for renovation. Targeted reopening December 18, 2026. Overwater bungalows remain the signature rooms.
Royal Caribbean is the relaxed Montego Bay option. The overwater bungalows are the rooms people screenshot. If you want nightlife, you will lean on the exchange with Sandals Montego Bay once both properties are back open.
Why people pick it
- · Overwater bungalows on a private island
- · Calmer mood than Sandals Montego Bay
- · Exchange privileges with Montego Bay when both are open
