My First All Inclusive Part 1

2 Apr

 

Its official I'm at Sandals Montego Bay!

I never need an excuse to go anywhere in the Caribbean and this time I got a chance to go down to Jamaica for a destination wedding being held at Sandals Montego Bay, which is an all-inclusive, meaning all you can eat and all you can drink.  Sandals Montego Bay (MOBAY) located on the northwestern side of the island is about maybe 10 minutes from Sangster International Airport.

Upon arriving to the hotel I was greeted by a staff that was friendly and more than willing to assist with making sure that I didnt to lift a finger, from taking the luggage out of the taxi for me, to presenting cold pressed and lemon grass scented towels, I was more than impressed.  I was immediately taken to the check-in area where I was made award of all of the amenities that Sandals has to  offer, from being able to eat and play at the other 2 Sandals locations within the area, Sandals Royal Caribbean and Sandals Carlyle in which their are free shuttles going to all 3  properties, excursions, activities on the beach in which some were free and some in which involved cost.

For me the most important was that it was ALL INCLUSIVE, eat and drink all you want.  Sandals, Mobay featured a number of on site dining options such Italian, Asian, pub food and of course local Jamaican favorites (some which are  featured, others which were “special orders”.
