S Hotel Montego Bay

Cocktails and cabanas beside the Hip Strip at this Caribbean retreat. Sitting alongside the famous Doctor’s Cave Beach, S Hotel boasts some of the finest coastal views Jamaica has to offer. It’s close enough to Montego Bay’s Hip Strip for party-all-nightlife, but far enough away to enjoy the tranquillity of the hotel’s private beach. Grand windows frame quintessential Caribbean scenes: swaying palms and the open sea. And top-floor lounges and decks let you bask in the lively tropical atmosphere. Inside, the rooms at S Hotel are designed to refresh and relax. Crisp white, dark oak and wicker are the perfect match for the breath-taking ocean views. Plus there’s plenty of space to stretch out and make yourself at home. Over at the pool, enticing smells of locally-inspired food (from curries to cakes) fill the bar and grill – a reminder of the culinary treats Montego Bay is renowned for. That’s not forgetting the urban elegance of the Rocksteady restaurant, where your food is served beneath colourful prints by renowned Jamaican artist Michael Thompson. If that whets your appetite for an arty excursion, Montego Bay has the National Gallery West – a small but perfectly formed exhibition space. Then again S Hotel’s location might just ignite your sense of adventure. After all, you’re just a short stroll from the bay itself. Eat, drink, dance and dive – or even take to the seas on a fishing trip.
