The Wexford Hotel is a two-and-a-half-pearl property with gorgeous ocean views that’s located on the quieter end of Montego Bay’s Hip Strip. Its 80 air-conditioned rooms have king or double beds,shelf stereo systems, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies (some with ocean views), though most are tired and worn. Some rooms include kitchenettes and the Executive Suites have huge bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, but Deluxe Rooms lack much in the way of extras. The freshwater pool is has a sandy deck and the restaurant gets decent reviews. Breakfast is included. Other hotel freebies include free admission to a nearby theme park, round-trip airport transfers, and a welcome cocktail. For a hotel with ocean views, an art-filled interior, a pool, and restaurant, it’s worth checking out Altamont West Hotel instead.

The 96-room El Greco Resort is comprised entirely of one- and two-bedroom suites with private patios and full kitchens. On-site features include 24-hour security, tennis courts (and lessons), a small pool, and Sea View Restaurant and Bar with an outside deck perfect for watching sunsets. Strong Wi-Fi, fruity welcome drinks, and daily passes to Doctors Cave Beach are free, and a back entrance leads to the popular Hip Strip in minutes. Unfortunately, many of the rooms suffer from road noise, and if you want pots and pans you'll have to lay down a small deposit for them.

The 227-room Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort and Private Island primarily attracts older couples with its intimate setting and luxury all-inclusive experience. With a number of small beaches (including a clothing-optional section) and a private island, the resort feels small and secluded, even though it’s a short drive to both the airport and downtown Montego Bay. All-inclusive restaurants cater to all tastes, from a romantic French restaurant to an upscale Thai eatery to laid-back British style pub, plus there are snacks on the beach and unlimited premium alcohol. On-site activities and entertainment are extensive, including seven pools, five whirlpools, a lovely spa, nightly shows, and free non-motorized water sports. However, some rooms are on the small side, airplane noise can be heard, and beaches are a bit underwhelming. It's worth comparing rates with the large Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall All-Inclusive.

Situated atop a quiet, residential hill, Polkerris Bed and Breakfast offers some of the most charming lodging in the area, all in a compact and refined package. While only a 10-minute walk to the Montego Bay tourist district, it feels worlds away. Each of its 10 upper-middle-range rooms is individually designed with a Tuscan-inspired decor. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and most feature patios with garden or ocean views. The list of common amenities is solid for a hotel of this size, including two pools, a lovely open-air lounge, and commanding harbor views from almost anywhere on the property. Emerald View Resort offers a similarly-appointed, beachfront alternative for less cash, but lacks the same quaint, boutique vibe.

The three-pearl Sunscape Splash packs a big value punch for an all-inclusive that’s right on the beach and close to Montego Bay's highlights. Resort features include four pools, three restaurants, a fitness center, spa, beauty salon, and a spectacular pirate-themed aquatic park. While this property is far from luxurious, it offers an affordable vacation with a beautiful Caribbean Sea backdrop. The 308 renovated rooms, which include Family Suites with bunk beds, are vibrant, and have balconies with views. Travelers seeking a more intimate experience away from frolicking children might want to consider the Sunscape Cove, the resort's sister property, next door, which offers a more boutique-style ambience with access to all Sunscape Splash's facilities.
