Best Neighborhoods to Stay in Montego Bay

Hip Strip (Gloucester Avenue)

The Hip Strip runs along Gloucester Avenue from Sangster International Airport to Doctor's Cave Beach, roughly 2 km of restaurants, duty-free shops, and beach bars. Doctor's Cave Beach Club ($6 entry) has some of the clearest water in Jamaica. Hotels here cost $80-200 per night. The area is best for first-time visitors who want everything within walking distance. Margaritaville and Pier 1 sit right on the strip for nightlife.

Rose Hall

Rose Hall occupies the north coast east of the city, home to Hyatt Ziva, Hilton Rose Hall, and the Iberostar Grand. These large all-inclusive resorts charge $300-700 per night and include meals, drinks, and private beach access. The Rose Hall Great House (haunted mansion tour, $25) and the White Witch Golf Course are the main draws beyond the resorts. Ideal for families and couples who prefer staying on-property.

Freeport

Freeport sits between the cruise ship terminal and Sam Sharpe Square in the city center. Budget hotels and guesthouses here cost $60-120 per night. The Montego Bay Craft Market is a 5-minute walk. Beaches are a $5-10 taxi ride away. This area works for travelers who prioritize low costs over beachfront access.

Ironshore

Ironshore is a residential area 10 minutes east of the Hip Strip. Half Moon resort, one of Jamaica's most iconic properties, anchors this zone at $400-700 per night. Mid-range villas and boutique hotels also operate here at $150-300. Quieter than tourist areas, Ironshore suits couples and extended-stay travelers who want space and privacy with beach access still under 10 minutes.

Average Hotel Prices in Montego Bay by Season

Peak season (December to April) brings the highest rates: budget $90-120, mid-range $180-250, luxury $400-700. Shoulder season (May to June, November) drops prices by 20-25%. Off-season (July to October) offers the steepest discounts at 30-40% below peak. A mid-range hotel that costs $200 in February can drop to $130 in September. Hurricane season technically runs June to November, but Montego Bay sits outside the main hurricane belt and sees mostly brief afternoon showers.

Cell service from Digicel or Flow costs $10-15 for a tourist SIM with data. The Jamaican dollar is best exchanged at FX Trader or Cambio shops, not at the airport.

Best Hotels in Montego Bay for Different Budgets

Budget ($60-120/night)

Budget options in Freeport and along the Hip Strip offer air-conditioned rooms, Wi-Fi, and pool access. Guesthouses in the $60-80 range often include breakfast. Properties like Toby's Resort and Gloucester House sit within walking distance of the beach. Expect basic rooms with reliable amenities, not luxury finishes.

Mid-Range ($130-250/night)

Mid-range hotels offer beachfront locations, multiple restaurants, and resort-style pools. Properties on the Hip Strip and in Ironshore at this price point typically include ocean-view rooms and on-site dining. Expect upgraded rooms with balconies, fitness centers, and organized activities.

Luxury ($300-700/night)

Rose Hall's all-inclusive resorts define luxury in Montego Bay. Hyatt Ziva, Hilton Rose Hall, and Half Moon offer private beaches, multiple pools, spa facilities, golf courses, and all meals included. Butler service, swim-up suites, and adults-only sections are common at this tier. Half Moon's equestrian center and dolphin lagoon set it apart.

Montego Bay Food and Dining Guide for Hotel Guests

Jerk chicken and jerk pork at roadside stands cost $3-6. Scotchies, a 20-minute drive east, is the most famous jerk spot on the island. Ackee and saltfish (Jamaica's national dish) runs $8-12 at local restaurants. On the Hip Strip, international restaurants charge $15-30 for entrees. All-inclusive guests eat on-property, but the best Jamaican food is outside the resorts. Try festival (fried dough), bammy (cassava flatbread), and fresh coconut water ($1-2) from beach vendors. Red Stripe beer costs $2-3 at local bars.
