Hey guys. We are narrowing down our honeymoon options to either Sandals Montego Bay or Ocho Rios.
At Montego Bay we would have the Honeymoon Waters Edge Concierge Room it has a balcony/patio and whirlpool tub (anyone know if it fits two people? )
at Ocho Rios we would have the honeymoon penthouse oceanfron concierge Room has balcony overlooking water but no tub.
The price difference is only about $200. Has anyone been to either of these two (or even better both?) Please let me know you opinion on which one would make a better mini honeymoon spot (we are only going for 4 nights)
Thanks,
HeFinallyProposed

Re: Sandals Montego Bay vs Ocho Rios
Some people have mentioned that the ride from the airport to the hotel was horrible. Did you have that experience as well? How bad was it really?

Re: Sandals Montego Bay vs Ocho Rios
We went to Negril for our HM and the ride was 1hour 15min. It wasn't bad at all, very scenic, interesting things to look at, and comfortable shuttle bus ride. While we were there, other guests at our resort told us that they had been to Ochos Rios before and that the ride was about 1hour and 45 min tops from Montego Bay Airport. So, it depends on how well you do with being in a shuttle bus that long. We got lucky with the ride there and back, bc both times there weren't many people on the bus with us, it was roomy and we were comfortable and it was AC'd. I don't do well on long rides either so I can say it wasn't too bad and it's only another 1/2 hour to OR.

Re: Sandals Montego Bay vs Ocho Rios
Is there a lot to do in Ocho Rios? FH and I are thinking of doing Jamaica but we aren't sure which one... We like staying active and doing things, and I know Montego Bay has a lot of things to do but I've read many times that it isn't as nice as others.
