Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay

My husband and I visited for 9 nights and was impressed with the grounds and the beauty of the resort. Our rooms were beautiful and very comfortable but my sister and her husband had to change rooms 4 times before getting one they liked as the others were a bit moldy. Our room was great off the bat and we also got a free upgrade to ocean view. We loved everything about the resort except for the food. We were very dissappointed at the buffet. Worse buffet we ever saw in a resort and we have been to many. Even the 3 star resorts had better buffet and better food selection. Never saw any seafood in the buffet except white fish. No shrimps, salmon, nothing of the sort. The breakfast was the sime old thing everyday. Pancakes didn't taste good and the bacon was all dried out everyday. Selection was poor. ALso everything had too much sugar. The hot water was always warm for tea/coffee we had to keep asking for hot water.. There was also no evening buffet which was unsual. The food was tasteless. We ate at most of the restuarants and even then the food wasnt the greatest. I think the best place we ate was the Oceana seafood restuarant but the steak was overdone. We were treated very well by the staff who also gave us a coupon one night for lobster dinner at Breathless next door. However the lobster was overdone, burnt and tough. I don't think I will visit this resort again unless there is improvement on the food. My 2 daughters stayed at the Iberostar during same period and they kept raving about the resort and the food there. I think I will do that one next time as I stayed there once and had a fantastic time. Secrets would have been a 5 star but for the food. If you want a taste of Jamaica you will hardly find it in the buffet. There was however a Jamaican restuarant but it was limited choices on the menu.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Wild Orchid. The amenities were great and I enjoyed the Yoga in the morning. It was a great way to start the day. The staff were accommodating and helpful. They responded well to requests The restaurants were great, but there was a bit of a wait with no reservations needed, but worth the wait. I enjoyed the Secrets because of the activities. The Entertainment group was great and there were plenty of lounges to sit, relax and enjoy beautiful Jamaica. I would go back in a heartbeat.

This is a wonderful hotel!!!! The Staff make the resort, they are so friendly,accomodating, they make you feel at home. The resort it self is beautiful, our room was clean and spacious which flowed into the whole resort. The a la carte restaurants were great, especially withour requiring a reservation. The pool was quaint, with great pool side service. The beach was nice with great sunsets. I would definately be a return guest at this resort!!!!

I really enjoyed my stay at this resort. I love the fact that you do not need to make reservation for the a la carte dining and you can dine a la carte every night of your stay. The food was really good at all restaurants that I went to. The beach was really nice and protected by a reef so the water was calm and clear. Service at the swim up bar was slow but it was a short walk out of the pool to the bar on the deck if you didn't feel like waiting. The staff were very friendly. The rooms very nice and big. I would love to return to this resort again some day. Beautiful sunsets!
