Rose Hall and Ironshore resorts, couples and family.
At a glance
Montego Bay all-inclusive resorts cluster around Rose Hall and Ironshore, a short transfer from the island's main airport and Jamaica's easiest first trip. Because the main international airport is right here, Montego Bay has the shortest transfers and the widest choice of resorts on the island, from big family complexes to adults-only escapes. Rose Hall adds two championship golf courses and a famous great house, while the Hip Strip brings restaurants and Doctor's Cave Beach. It is the convenient, do-it-all base, with Negril and Ocho Rios both within a day's reach.
