What’s Special About This Resort
The Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay is another luxury all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, offering lavish accommodations and amenities for travelers. The property has a number of beautiful pools, tennis courts, and a theater that offers world-class entertainment.
For those looking for some quality beach time, the Secrets Wild Orchid Resort offers a number of water sports and, of course, loungers and umbrellas. The resort is located right next door to its sister property, the Secret St. James, where you’re able to utilize quite a few of their amenities as well.
While overall, the Secrets St. James offers some great perks, there were also some obvious issues with the resort. Most of the negative guest reviews point to a general lack of staff to accommodate everyone at this large resort. Expect wait times for dining, room service, and other requests. Additionally, many comments have been made about the food, that it is average at best and reminiscent of cafeteria food.
Unlimited dining, unlimited drinks, resort-wide wi-fi, and access to sprawling resort facilities like the four pools, the tennis court, the multipurpose court, and an open-air theater with live events and shows. The resort also offers guided snorkeling, stand up paddleboards, windsurfing, kayaks, intro to scuba lessons, bicycle tours, cooking and dance classes, a jogging trail, and more.
*Scuba diving, catamaran, water skiing, parasailing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, tubing, banana boat rides, boat tours, deep sea fishing and glass bottom boat tours are also available at an additional cost.
