Opening December 2026
Inside the launch window: opening rates are usually bookable now, and this is when they're at their softest. Book a flexible rate in case the date slips.
The launch-rate diary
We price a 7-night stay for two here on a rotating schedule and keep the receipts, because a brand-new resort’s opening rates tend to be the lowest it will ever show, and the only way to prove that is a dated record. Each reading names the room it priced, so a rate we call risen is the same room costing more.
While you wait
Open now, bookable today: the closest stand-ins until the ribbon gets cut.
Sandals Montego Bay
Things to know
before you go
Sandals Montego Bay is currently a reopening-lane record:the official site says stays resume December 18, 2026.
It is a true included all-inclusive product, but post-renovation guest scoring should wait until review mass exists after reopening.
Best fit is couples who want quick airport access, Sandals' no-wallet dining/drink model and a long private beach.
Strengths from our research
True Sandals all-inclusive model
Very close to MBJ airport
9 restaurants and 6 bars listed for reopening
Private white-sand beach
Swim-up and butler room categories
Other considerations from our research
Currently reopening rather than fully operating
Post-renovation pool and service details need verification
Airport proximity can mean aircraft noise
Not family-friendly
