Two Resorts in One – St. James vs Wild Orchid Comparison:


Secrets St. James is one of two contrasting (yet complementary) resorts that make up the Secrets Montego Bay Resort & Spa complex. Secrets St. James takes its more traditional inspiration from Jamaica’s rich island history, while the adjacent Secrets Wild Orchid offers a more contemporary island experience with warm neutral tones and unique indigenous art.

Access to the amenities of both resorts means having a vast selection of gourmet à la carte restaurants, bars and lounges, a lavish spa with oceanfront massage cabanas, a private concierge on every guest floor, a state-of-the-art open-air theater and a full array of activities.
