Montego Bay, Jamaica
Sandals Caribbean Cay (formerly Sandals Royal Caribbean)
Mahoe Bay, P.O. Box 167, St. James, Montego Bay, Jamaica (near Sangster International Airport / MBJ)
Sandals Caribbean Cay is an adults-only, all-inclusive luxury resort on Jamaica's north coast near Montego Bay, built around a private offshore island reached by water taxi. It's the rebranded successor to Sandals Royal Caribbean — the resort closed for repairs after Hurricane Melissa struck in October 2025, and is reopening under the new name on December 18, 2026 with a bigger pool, new restaurant concepts (including a new Jamaican-flavors concept called Suppa), and an updated private-island beach club (Parisol Beach Club). As with other Sandals properties, the resort is all-inclusive: all meals, snacks, and premium alcohol are included with no separate menu pricing, and guests get access to a Culinary Concierge desk for special dietary needs, including kosher meals.
Chabad certified kosher meals are available on request through the resort's Culinary Concierge, prepared and served as part of the standard all-inclusive dining — not a separate restaurant or paid add-on. Sandals requires advance notice (their own policy states one month) to arrange kosher meals.
Shabbos Options
Not specified by Sandals about shabbos specific options. Confirm directly with the resort or a kosher travel specialist if a guest needs these for a Shabbat stay.
Staying in a hotel over Shabbos can raise complex halachic questions — please speak with your Rabbi.
