Recently renovated resorts in the region include Sandals Montego Bay, Sandals Royal Caribbean, and Sandals South Coast.

Sandals South Coast

Life is chill at Sandals South Coast, and even more so now with the addition of the South Seas Rondoval Village. Inspired by the ocean, these suites make it easy to fall into the rhythm of Jamaica.

There's also a river pool around the suite that winds its way through the resort.
