I'm actually going on the 10th next month! Really nervous but I will be polite and say thank you's when necessary. Thank you for the breakdowns! I feel less anxious. One thing I'd ask is how friendly is everyone there? I ask because This will be my first time as someone about to have a vacation.
Very excited for you - awesome! Definitely don't be worried - in Jamaica, the motto is Bob Marley's mantra: don't worry about a thing! Jamaicans are very friendly people. Of course there are differences in every culture, but these staff work with thousands of tourists every day and know how to make it the time of your life! :) Enjoy!! ~ Addison | hello@reliantdestinations.com

Hello, Hughie! Absolutely! I'd love help you out with my complimentary services to make sure this is the most epic trip ever! :) You can contact me easily at hello@reliantdestinations.com and you can also have a peek at a quick list of what I can do for you: mycaribbeanluxury.com/tell-me-why/
Caribbean weather is always unpredictable, but I can say that I spend a lot of time on the island during this season and enjoy lots of sun. Jamaicans use the phrase "liquid sunshine", which refers to the rainfall. When the rain falls, it is typically hard and quick and even in the most rainy season, the island averages around 8 hours of sunshine on day historically. I'd love to see how I can be of further assistance - don't hesitate to reach out at hello@reliantdestinations.com! :) ~ Addison
Hi Angie! Great question! I think this really comes down to you. 90%+ of folks find it super cool for the first day and then just tune it out thereafter. The resort waves to the aircraft and the overhead lasts but seconds. :) But for someone who is absolutely adamant this isn't for them, you'll need to choose a different location. If I can ever be of assistance to help you get the best deal, I'm always happy to help: hello@reliantdestinations.com ~ Addison
I’m looking to book from 14nov to 21nov at the royal Caribbean sandals. I do LOVE room service but wondering if you can help me find best prices. I’ve seen everything from 323.00 pp pr nt to much higher. Any suggestions
Yes indeed! There is actually a video all about tipping on my channel worth checking out. However, I'd suggest the low end is around $20-$25usd/day and mid-range around $40usd/day. I typically recommend scaling the tip in accordance with where the butler room sits on the pricing spectrum.
@@MrTraveLux Thank you for the information. Should we expect to have multiple butlers since it is 24 hours? Will they pool the tips from our room? I usually like to tip a nice amount up front and then tip at the end of my trip based on the service, but have never used butler service so I'm not sure the best approach.
My pleasure! I highly encourage you not to tip up front, but do mention you will be tipping. Tips at Sandals should always be at the end in my opinion. I verbalize at the beginning that I will tip them well for great service and follow through at the conclusion of the stay. Depending on the length of your stay, you will likely have 2-3 butlers. You can tip a few ways. The most common would be to just roughly think what % of the time you've seen each and split the grand tip across those ways. If you leave it in cash when you check out, the lounge can provide envelopes for each butler you can put it in. With card, you just let them know the amount per butler you wish to leave.
Great question! At this moment Sandals is doing free COVID tests on-site to help guests meet the requirement easily! For more info, just drop me a message at hello@reliantdestinations.com
Aww, very kind comment - thanks! It has been a labor of love over the past couple of years and learning all of it the hard way! If I look at some of the original videos versus now I can definitely see the progression...and still a lot more to go! I use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing which is amazing, but you definitely have to plan a large amount of time to master the software! :)
Hey Brenda! It depends on your preferences, really. You get access to the Sandals lounge at the MBJ airport, so don't really need Club MoBay's arrival lounge, but might benefit from their fast-track customs service.
Hi Brittney, I'm not sure I'm entirely understanding your question? Are you referring to a free hold? If so, that is about holding a room for a few days to give clients an opportunity to make payment. Or, perhaps, you are referring to a free night? Certain room categories (usually butler) will sometimes offer a free night promotion if you stay 7 nights (so, you pay for 6) - this is a random sale that can't be predicted, however.
Conversely, the respectability required for certain dining establishments is all public information prior to anyone spending a penny. It is no different than if I rocked up to a top steakhouse in Manhattan in a swimsuit and $1,000 in hand - I’d still expect to be turned away because I hadn’t done my due diligence or prepared for the experience.

How is the weather in Montego Bay during the end of September/ early October? I heard it’s rainy season… will we get rained out?
Caribbean weather is always unpredictable, but I can say that I spend a lot of time on the island during this season and enjoy lots of sun. Jamaicans use the phrase "liquid sunshine", which refers to the rainfall.

You mentioned tipping the butler. What is an recommended amount to tip? We will be at Montego Bay for 7 nights in April/May.
Yes indeed! There is actually a video all about tipping on my channel worth checking out. However, I'd suggest the low end is around $20-$25usd/day and mid-range around $40usd/day. I typically recommend scaling the tip in accordance with where the butler room sits on the pricing spectrum.

For those of us from America that now need a covid test before coming back home, how do we get that done and results back in time? 🤔
Great question! At this moment Sandals is doing free COVID tests on-site to help guests meet the requirement easily! For more info, just drop me a message at hello@reliantdestinations.com
Got married there 2012
Sandals Inn is the first resort....
Well….. A) Sandals Inn hasn’t been open to the public anymore for quite some time. B) Sandals Inn was never a “resort”. ;)
I am really inspired by your channel. I really love the editing of your videos. How did you learn how to edit so well?
Aww, very kind comment - thanks! It has been a labor of love over the past couple of years and learning all of it the hard way!

Is Club MoBey necessary for purchase if we are staying at Sandals?

How do I get a free room? We are already staying for 6 nights in September.

@@MrTraveLux sorry about that I was trying to ask if they is a way for an extra free night stay?
So after I pay my money you want to tell me how to dress ?
