All Seasons Resort Montego Bay

... reviews on Trip Advisor and quite a few travel agents don't recommend it, mostly due to it's close proximity to to the Montego Bay airport, which is coincidentally just across the street. But there is also a reason this resort boasts the most returning guests of all the Sandals Resorts. Obviously there must be something about Sandals Montego Bay that keeps people coming back, and I'm pretty sure it isn't the ...

... activity here. They've seen it all. MoBay is yesterday's travel news, like Acapulco or Hong Kong or Rio. I was shocked at how small the tourist strip is here. I haven't been to Negril but I've been to Kuta in Bali, the road that never ends. If it weren't for the airport and the cruise ships, this wouldn't seem any more of a tourist destination than Hollywood or Chiang Rai or Flagstaff or Berkeley or Portland or Boulder, all places I've ...

... worst. But when you stay in your room in Jamaica to stay warm, not cool, and the AC takes a full day off, then you know you've got some bad weather. The East Coast has been getting battered all season, so I hear, while California has been getting fried, basking in record winter highs, so I tell my wife. This is good to remember, because I got chills to the point of going to bed early and getting under the covers. That's not normal; I ...

... watch TV once again Barbados and Trinidad are most mod**n, with many cable selections and US broadcast stuff from the US Virgin Islands, while the Guyanas are pretty bad, local only, with whatev** int**national shows they can get on the cheap. You'll be watching stuff you'd nev** watch 'back home'. That's not important, you say? Not if you're on vacation, no, it probably isn't. For those of us with nomadic lifestyles approaching s**ial ...

... Given the success and lingering nostalgia for the 'Cool Runnings' of Jamaican bobsled and John Candy movie fame, I suspect there are already efforts underway to somehow connect all these runnings and capitalize on Jamaica's other non-dreadlocked success. For all its cache' within my wildest imagination, the reality on the ground in Montego Bay is a bit different. By my standards I'd say that MoBay is a veritable cold bed of activity ...

We were supposed to go to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica on the 24th but as we approached, the authorities closed the harbor due to severe weather and mudslides so we left the area. Later that day Capt. Thor told us that we were headed to Montego Bay. I'd been there before in the 1980s and swore I'd never go back (at that time there was a Marxist Michael Manley in charge and the US was not looked on with favor). Anyway we had to go back and once there, again I swore I'd never go back ...

... dress accordingly. Vegetarian? No Problem Mon ! Jamaica Inn's Chefs will put together a meatless dish bursting with flavor for you. I must elaborate on the spa. For an extraordinarily relaxing experience get pampered at the KiYara Ocean Spa that is located on the seaside cliffs at Jamaica Inn. The KiYara offers a wide range of holistic & blissful treatments. Was is taken from the ground and used on your body, is then returned to the ground ...

... are most unusual. These ones were orange-red in color, about five or six inches long with huge black eyes, eyes so black you had to take a closer look just to make sure they were eyes. Like so many of the fish we encountered, to my understanding there are around 70 different species of this type of fish and I must say I found them very creepy. On our way back to shore we found ourselves lost in the reef. We couldn ...

Only two days left in Mo Bay! Then we head to St. Catherines, mums old home in the bush, and may I say I am TERRIFIED to go! The taxi drivers and locals have sufficiently succeeded in scaring me to death regarding the crime in Spanish Town. Thats where mums family is. Please why can't we stay here??? WHY WHY WHY am I not rich? Please God make me rich so I can buy a place here and come every six months!!! Yesterday we went to a secret ...

Sorry for the dreadful pun incorporated into the title of this section, but a trip to the Caribbean in January 2006 replaced the regular annual January ski fixture, and was yet another encounter with the American tourist, which was to be the last, for absolutely no reason other than ongoing commitments and diminished practicalities. I arrived on the island of Jamaica in poor shape due to a newly-broken collar bone, which I was ...
