Vacation at Sandals Resort: Sandals Montego Bay


My fiance and I went to Sandals Montego Bay and are loving the vacation spot.










Today we went snorkeling and I was confused when they had us take a 20-minute class on intro to snorkeling. We went into a pool and we were taught how to put on a snorkel mask and how to use the snorkel.  To me it wasn't worth the introduction, but since it's included in the hotel I went with it.  Joe said it made snorkeling more enjoyable for him.

Soon we were off to the ocean to actually explore.  YAY! It was a very fun time. After a quick boat ride (you could still see the resort from the boat) and they said go explore. I'm terrified of sharks, which we didn't see, but I got in the ocean for about 10 minutes before I decided to get back on the boat. 

Eco- rant: I was very happy to see the coral alive and fish underneath my viewing point. I wish the resort recycled better though. Most of the drinks are in reusable glasses, but water bottles and beer cans should still have a recycling point. In the rooms recycling is not option.  I have a reusable water bottle with me.

The food here has been mostly good, nothing bad. Last night we ate at a Japanese restaurant and it was very good. The food was made in front of you and was a great stir-fry. 

The breakfast was a normal buffet, something ok for everyone. I recommend the fruit. 

Tonight we are eating at the Oleander Room which serves caribbean cuisine.

Also, there has been a lot of rain. The mornings are amazing - lots of sun and then around noon summer showers come and go. As much as it makes me sad that the sun goes away, the Wi-Fi is good, so I can do some work.

My favorite restaurant so far is the cafe which has a good cappuccino. Also, I love how warm it is but not crazy humid.  I wish it rained less but I'm happy typing away on my balcony watching it rain on the ocean.
