Beautiful scenery, over the top staff, several things to do from the resort.

Lots of poolside or beach opportunities to soak up the sun. Different foods to choose and all good. Amenities and activities available. Load blowers cleaning outside first floor room daily made for early wake ups. Could not make reservations at restaurants and one that you could 4 days in advance wasn’t early enough. Having a pool floater was almost none existent as people hoarded them. And getting a lounger by the pool get towels night before and throw on lounger at 6am if you want your spot. And same hoarding with umbrella by the pool.

Increased wear both in the rooms and thoughout the property. Increased lines for everything- everywhere and we didnt go during the busy season. Food was good.

Great stay at St James!! Excellent service and staff. Pools were very cold. Beach is beautiful. Food could’ve been better but we had an amazing time. Butlers Chase and Dane were the best! Amazing attention to detail and so welcoming. Love you guys!!

Great resort but it is ridiculous that you have to get up at 6AM to reserve a chair for the pool and a good spot on the beach. We have never been to a resort with this issue that was this bad. Something needs to change.

Great resort and area. We’ve stayed at all 3 resorts and they are all very nice. 23 times to Jamaica total. This was a 5th stay at these resorts. Lovely experience every time! Staff and resort is perfect for a quiet bday week with hubby

Nice

staff were very nice

Great food & great vibes. Extremely welcoming & clean.

I had garden view there was no noise and it was clean and a lovely view.

This was our third trip to Jamaica and second to Montego Bay. Pros: - The buffet is good - The gym has every machine imaginable - The staff is lovely - Pretty grounds - Good beaches - Great views Cons: - The "save your beach seat with a towel" culture that is so prevalent at these resorts (not unique to this one). I want to be on vacation and not fighting over space at the beach. - The bars run out of normal ingredients (soda) sometimes. It happens! Not a huge deal. - The specialty restaurants aren't spectacular (except for the service). - Not a big salad bar selection. This was a much better experience than we've had at previous resorts. Recommend.

The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed.

Not a good time / staff stole from our room

This resort was very nice, very clean and full of very pleasant staff. Definitely one of the nicer resorts that I’ve seen.

Everyone was so friendly loved it

It was great

Room service was tremendous

It was good. The only problem was at check in. The Time Share Sales people are relentless. Check in was not as smooth as I’m used to at Dreams Resorts but in the end it worked out.

Everything was great but the food

Location: Secrets St.James location is amazing, on a secluded peninsula 20 min drive from the airport. Restaurants: A lot of restaurants on any taste. Preferred club: Preferred club is quiet and secluded. The beach area is very close to the building but you need to wake up 7am in the morning to get space in a shade. Preferred club guests have an access to the Breathless resorts amenities. This is party resort with entertainment but no strait access to the beach, they use the beach on the Secrets side. They have the buffet in the morning that not that crowded as at Secrets and we enjoyed to go there for our breakfast. Staff: Staff is friendly but expecting tips. Room: When we bought the trip, it was very important for us to have 2 beds, they found just one room with 2 beds,but it wasn't that good - on the first floor, with the toilet with no door to be closed made for handicapped person, one of two showers didn't work at all, the hot tub on the patio we couldn't use - it was exactly at the entrance of the building with people walking by non stop, lacked privacy. Transportation: We decided on Jamaica tour transportation. On arrival we had to wait for the driver to collect more passengers, the ride back from hotel was very smooth. In summary the location, restaurant options, and certain amenities were positive aspects, but there were notable issues with the room and some aspects of the beach experience.

Everything was great.. besides I had to stay in a room that i originally didn’t pay for and the view was horrible.. I didn't get another room until the second night.. i was hoping to be compensated for the first two days.. all i was given for my troubles was a small plate of dessert . other than that the trip was amazing!!

Dirty, rude, horrible food, horrible service. I was so excited for this trip and it failed on every level.

I love secret!!!!!! The service was amazing

property is nice but no one mention about VIP access.

Horrible hospitality, minium entertainment and activities

Very noisy in the hallways in the morning. Also, bathtub in room wouldn’t plug, so unable to use bath, the ceiling had a leak, the vanity mirror was about to fall off. Most of the staff were amazing, but some staff seemed very annoyed with customers. I have stayed at many all inclusives and definitely expected more for the price I paid.

Great experience overall All staff are very friendly and respectful Yah Man

The admission staff was welcoming and Marlando at the swim up bar was a blast! But overall I found most staff to be lukewarm at best. 😕 In comparison, we traveled to Cancun, Mexico this past May and felt like we were long lost family. Secrets St James is a beautiful facility and we did enjoy our time overall.

Property was clean and kept up nicely. Biggest negative was for a resort to be adult only, bar areas closed way too early and little to no nightlife. Place was dead after 10:00 pm!! No day time entertainment at the pools, music, etc….pretty boring!!

One of the best birthday gift I had, Everything was wonderful,

The Secrets St. James was visually a beautiful property. However, the room bathroom and shower areas could use some updating. Some of the staff was very friendly, but others were indifferent to black and brown people. I travel with a group of friends. We’re about 40 and up, so we tip generously when serviced well. We even tip one of the young ladies $100 because she talked about the education system in Jamaica. It was moving! The spa was nice! We really enjoyed the couples massages. There is no hard sell for time-share, but it is available if that’s your thing and you want free stuff. The best restaurant on the property is Oceana. Beware, all restaurants are like an indoor/outdoor setup. I thought I could get away from the heat at some point. It’s a little better. But I was expecting at least one to be enclosed. Nighttime entertainment was nice. Daytime entertainment was good, but you may have to go to the pool where it’s being offered. Only people lodging in one of preferred members room have access to Breathless. Expedia VIP is not honored, At least not my status. It rained a few times when there, but never long enough to ruin the vacation. We never left the property, but we had a great time relaxing. Others we spoke to enjoyed excursions like zip lining and ATVs.

Lovely resort
