  • The S Hotel Jamaica is a chic, fun, boutique hotel in Montego Bay, and for four days I explored all of the best that it had to offer. The adults only hotel has two beautiful pools, five restaurants, on Doctor's Cave Beach, and the food and cocktails are amazing. Plus, I checked out the Irie Baths & Spa, enjoyed a mixology session with the bar staff, and took a walk into town.

My husband and I are torn between staying here and the Hyatt Zilara for our 20 year Anniversary in May of this year 2024 we'll be in Montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲 and we can't wait. Your video is everything and this place is rated extremely highly for the best place in the world. 1 thing this video doesn't talk about is doing any excursions this is one thing we'd like to do while we're here. Although their still under a travel advisory.

    • @wanderpow

      I haven't stayed at the Hyatt yet so good luck deciding, but the S Hotel was fantastic. It's a unique place. The hotel will help you arrange excursions in the area with local operators and there's a lot to do. I didn't experience any while I was there but I've heard great things about rafting nearby, Blue Hole and Secret Falls, and snorkeling. Have a great trip!

    • @wanderpow
      @wanderpow  6 місяців тому

      Montego Bay has crime problems and I'd say that outside of the resort it's always best to go with a trusted guide. Generally I saw more efforts to hustle, than steal, but it's wise to take precautions with money and valuables. The hotel itself is very safe. You can always take precautions and put valuables in the in room safe though too.
