Altamont West is located centrally to the Montego Bay Hip Strip, Beaches and walking distance to Downtown Montego. Pelican Grill restaurant, Margaritaville Club, Coral Cliff Entertainment and Doctor’s Cave beach are all in convenient walking distance. In addition there are multiple souvenir shops located along the Strip for shopping.

Altamont West Hotel was top notch service, and staffing! Can’t wait to come back and stay again!!! The complementary breakfast was amazing, when I needed new towels they grabbed some, I had my room cleaned 1x cause just wanted privacy with my man. They all deserve an award for best hotel!!!

Well it was my first time there, I have stayed in the one in Kingston over the years, but don’t like this one in Montego, the building inside is a bit too dark and dull: rooms could do with a more modern look. But over otherwise the look location is so wonderful.

Staff was very polite, i was in contact with them prior to my arrival. However, i only got to sleep there one night of the 5 nights booked & had to cancel being that i stayed with extended family for the remainders, of my stay. They gave me no problem cancelling the remaining nights that i booked through Expedia & did receive my refund. The rooms were okay but clean, the only thing wrong with my room was the bathtub didn't work only the shower. The rest of the property was decent. They will charge you $25 a day for additional guest, so make sure you put the right # of guests when booking your room. If my family didn't want me to stay with them, i would've been okay there for the remaining nights & the complimentary breakfast i experienced once was good at least the Jamaican one, the American breakfast could've been much better especially the pancakes. However, i would book this property again.

Best Service Ever!
The Good: The service is wonderful, the restaurant is a delightful surprise (even if a little pricey), and the location is convenient. To be improved: The floor in the shower needs a good cleaning. The somewhat bad: Music from outside of the hotel is very loud. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and thought that it is a very good value. I would stay there again.

Stayed here with my family for five nights. We had three rooms which were very clean and the staff were excellent. Break fast was good but could’ve had a little more options. Location is great ,with the beach across the street. Want to give a shoutout to Tameka, Danieka and Sasha from the front desk. These ladies go above and beyond to make your stay exceptional! Marcia and Cassandra in the restaurant . The lady that cleaned our rooms during our stay . Juliet in EVS and the two young men that does maintenance. Also, Mr Robinson the daytime security. These people are all keepers! And they make your hotel shine .
