Sandals Montego Bay (an adults-only, all-inclusive resort) sprawls across 26 acres and touts 12 restaurants and seven swimming pools. Plus, it offers the amenities of three Sandals resorts in one. Sandals Montego Bay's "Stay at 1, Play at 2 Program" package provides free round-trip transfers to Sandals Royal Caribbean , meaning guests have access to a dizzying array of restaurants, bars and swimming pools. Back at Sandals Montego Bay, accommodations feature mahogany furnishings, four-poster beds and HD smart TVs, all near the largest private beach in Jamaica . But for the ultimate indulgence, recent guests suggest upgrading to a room with butler service. For those looking to splurge even more, opt for a relaxing massage at the on-site Red Lane Spa before taking a wild Reggae Cruise on a catamaran. The property also offers all kinds of free activities, such as scuba diving, tennis, beach volleyball and themed parties.

Critic Reviews

The luxurious Sandals Montego Bay is a solid beachfront all-inclusive option for couples who don't want to travel far from the airport or cruise port. The 1981-opened hotel is mostly modern thanks to renovations in 2018, but some of the 264 rooms still have colonial-style decor.

Fodor's

The largest private beach in Montego Bay is the highlight of this Sandals – one of the most popular upscale resorts in the Caribbean. It's one big party, despite the planes that zoom overhead (the airport is minutes away, making it a good option for quick trips).

On a half mile of beautiful private beach, this all-inclusive, couples-only resort has upscale guest rooms and lovely spacious suites. Luxury services are provided with the top-tier room categories.

Lonely Planet

The resort beach is beautiful, the plantation-style furnishing is quite tasteful and guests get free access to Sandals' other Jamaican properties. It's just a few miles past Sangster International Airport.

Are Sandals Excursions and Tours Worth The Cost?

Island Routes is a company that provides add-on tours and excursions to Sandals Resort locations . These trips and experiences are not included in the cost of a Sandals resort , so many people wonder if these extras are worth the money. Here’s why we think they are.

Your trip will be even more memorable if you participate in these added activities. For example, you could ride a horse across the beach, take a speedboat to go scuba diving near sea turtles, or take an ATV to a remote waterfall. These are just a few of the many options available through Island Routes.

These excursions add excitement and romance to your trip. Why not take advantage of it? The best time to go to Sandals is now!

Finally, these excursions can also add knowledge about the island and its culture. Many of the guides are local residents who know a lot about the history and culture of the island. They can share this knowledge with you, making your trip more educational.

So if you’re considering adding an Island Routes tour or excursion to your Sandals vacation, I say go for it! It will be an experience you’ll never forget.

Sandals Negril Excursions in Jamaica

By: Author Dan Bagby

Posted on Published: May 5, 2023

Although every Sandals all-inclusive resort has tons of complimentary activities onsite, you’ll probably also want to explore what the area has to offer. That’s where Sandals excursions come in. They cost extra but are super easy to arrange through the resort.

You can book Sandals excursions online via the Sandals website after you’ve made your reservation, or once you get to the resort. If there’s something you really want to do, we recommend booking it in advance just to be safe.

But what excursions does Sandals offer? They are different at each Sandals resort. In this article we’ll discuss Sandals Negril excursions in Jamaica, so read on to learn more.

Excursions at Sandals Negril, Jamaica

The Caribbean island of Jamaica offers natural beauty, white sand beaches, clear and warm waters, and tons of activities, making it a very popular romantic and honeymoon destination.

Sandals Negril, located on Seven Mile Beach, is our favorite of the Sandals resorts in Jamaica . One thing that sets this location apart is the amazing sunsets you only see completely from this western part of the island.

There are a lot of things to do in Negril , so you’ll have a wide variety of excursions to choose from. Sandals Negril excursions are all managed by Island Routes, but you book and pay through Sandals.

Sandals Negril excursions include river rafting, shopping in Negril, ziplining, river tubing, hiking and waterfall tours, ATV tours, deep sea fishing, historic and cultural tours, catamaran cruises, biking and dune buggy tours, horseback riding on the beach, and more. There are also dolphin encounter experiences. While we do not feel good about dolphins in captivity, they are available.

We think the best Sandals Negril excursion is to Rick’s Cafe. It isn’t just a place to eat. There are cliffs here, and you can jump off the smaller ones or watch some real daredevils jumping off the bigger ones. The best way to get here is on one of the catamaran cruises that pick you up on the resort, but you can also take a taxi. Shopping excursions are also popular.

Let’s take a look at some of the Sandals Negril excursions in more detail.

Rick’s Café Sunset Experience

Voted one of the 10 best bars in the world by Caribbean Travel & Life Magazine , Rick’s Café overlooks the turquoise Caribbean and is more than just a bar. Experience cliff diving here, whether you try it yourself or watch others, then toast the glorious sunset.

Reggae Sunset Catamaran Cruise

For a romantic Sandals Negril excursion, board this catamaran cruise and enjoy reggae music, drinks, snacks, and snorkeling. Watch the sunset from the famous Rick’s Café, then relax on the magical sail back to the resort.

Treetop Zipline and River Tubing Experience

Adventurous couples will love this Sandals Negril excursion, which takes you into the rainforest to zipline hundreds of feet up above the trees. Then you’ll tube down the river as guides point out local wildlife and jungle animals.

Bamboo River Rafting & Swamp Safari

For a unique experience, relax on a bamboo raft as your captain guides you down the beautiful Martha Brae River in the rainforest. You’ll also get to see rare birds in Jamaica’s largest walk-through aviary, as well as exotic animals like peacocks, whistling ducks, and kinkajou.

Bob Marley Reggae and Culture Tour

This Sandals Negril excursion takes you to Nine Mile, Bob Marley’s birthplace, where you learn all about the reggae music legend. You’ll also enjoy beautiful scenery in St. Ann and a delicious authentic Jamaican jerk lunch.

Discover Negril Shopping Highlight

Browse local shops and galleries in Negril on this shopping excursion, which takes you to the duty-free area as well as the Craft Market. Find the perfect souvenir or gift for everyone back home.

Flavors of South Coast and Cultural Tour

Foodies will love this chance to taste authentic Jamaican food like peppered shrimp and jerk chicken, as well as tour through the mountains of the South Coast . You’ll also get to visit Appleton Estate rum distillery (with samples of course) and stop at Holland Bamboo Grove for an ice-cold coconut and local peanuts.

You can also go on excursions in Jamaica with local guide companies or through online vendors like Get Your Guide and Viator.

In between excursions, you’ll have lots of onsite Sandals Negril activities to choose from. These include complimentary watersports like scuba diving , snorkeling, kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kneeboarding, aquatrikes, and wakeboarding plus complimentary land activities like day and night tennis, beach volleyball, croquet, bocce ball, shuffleboard, lawn chess, basketball, darts, table tennis, pool, and board games.

Work out in the state-of-the-art fitness center and take exercise classes, or indulge at the spa (for an extra fee). And of course, you can lounge on the beautiful beach, relax by any of the pools, soak in a whirlpool, or enjoy tropical cocktails at a bar.

There’s also daily and nightly entertainment including live bands, a piano bar, chocolate buffet nights, beach parties, Reggae Fest, live shows, Caribbean nights, white nights, and more.
