We highly recommend bringing your own reusable cup and straw.Although this location is quite close to Montego bay, there’s nothing really within walking distance of the resort.We did hear that the wait time for some of the more popular restaurants could be up to 2 hours, so keep that in mind if you’re planning on booking a non-preferred suite. If you didn’t have a preferred suite then it was basically walk up and wait which was a little strange. It seemed like you had to be a preferred guest to actually make reservations and you have to get your Butler to make the reservation. The restaurant reservation system is a little bit weird here.We didn’t mind this too much as we can understand that there are potential people eating most of their meals in their rooms, but it is something to consider. It ran from around 8 am – 10 pm and the wait times were sometimes quite long. The biggest thing that impacted our trip was the reduced hours of Room Service. With Covid, a lot of elements have understandably been removed or had their hours shortened.Its worth double checking it will be open when you visit. We presume this is because of Covid, but if you plan on wanting to make the most of the amenities at the St.James. We have read that the Secrets St.James has been closed the last number of months, while the Secrets Wild Orchid has been open.From our point of view that is the Secrets Montego Bay, so this meant that the resort felt quite busy when we visited and there was more of a party atmosphere than we would have liked. What naturally happens in this situation is that the guests will flock to the premium option in the complex. The Secrets Montego Bay, Secrets St.James, and the Breathless.

Typically there are only two resorts in a complex but at the Montego Bay location, there are three resorts. Effectively it allows anyone from the sister resorts in the same complex to eat and drink and make use of the amenities in any of the resorts. One of the best things about Secrets resorts, Is the Sip, Saviour, See benefit that is available when there are sister resorts nearby (which there always is).
