The Ups and Downs of My Trip to Jamaica @ Secrets St. James Montego Bay

  • I had never been to an all inclusive resort before I went to secrets in Jamaica.
    I was there for a wedding in October 2022.
    Overall, it was a fun trip, and the weather was perfect. The people were nice.
    The facility was not entirely what I expected. There were some questionable maintenance items.
    I did get to snorkel a lot, which I really enjoyed. But the windsurfing and parasailing was not available because “the boat was broken” and “something was wrong with the boards”.
    The view was spectacular, the drinks were tasty, the food was plentiful (but it lacked something). Much of it tasted premade.
    My room flooded twice from the sewer pipes. That was unpleasant. They did comp one night of my stay which I didn’t ask for. So that was cool. (I tried to negotiate up to two nights to no avail.)
    I would go back. I probably would try another resort just to get another experience, but if there was no other resort available, I would just calibrate myself on what to expect.

    9:50 what you saw was not a manta ray. It was most likey an eagle ray or bat ray. Manta rays are huge, between 15-30ft wide and are in deeper ocean water. Definitely not a manta ray. But cool sighting none the less.

    Cool video of the rays! I assume your injury was not a stingray sting?? Steve's Uncle Barry always advised against swimming in the ocean after dark because "That's when all the big things feed."

    Why do bloggers feel the need to include their face in most every shot? Let's see the surroundings. How about that? Its beautiful! Thanks for information though.

    I have learned from my all inclusive experiences that I have to pack snacks. After I spent $12 on doritos and a pack of m&ms in Jamaica... Never again. My friends laughed at me until they too got 3am snacks. 🙂

      @@franktate1482 I'm sorry...I should've clarified that I went to the gas station by the resort (Riu in Montego Bay). The resort's idea of snacks was dry, stale popcorn and things from the buffet and one small can of pringles

    Jamaica is a nice if you stay in the hotels and excursion/tourist trip zones. Venture out into the parishes and tourists will see poverty beyond belief (it's shocking). That's when reality hits home. This hotel is around 4 star but not 5 star. It has too many glitches. In my opinion St Lucia is several steps above Jamaica for a holiday in the tropics. It's easier to get around and is more organized and suave. I'm going back to St Lucia soon
