It may not be important to note that their website makes the property look a lot more fashionable than it is. I did not find much on site. Maybe it was because it was "off season" in November but there was essentially no restaurant up and running, and the pool was nothing you would want to jump into. The other... more

I want to start off by staying, my trip to Jamaica was wonderful. My friends and I stayed at the Altamont West Hotel, Montego Bay: ( not to mention it was very afforable...) This hotel was beautiful and eye catching. I would go back there tomorrow. Our rooms were nice and clean. The staff was friendly, courteous and charming. Taji... more

I stayed at this hotel at the peak time between 25th dec to 31st december. Contrary to the notion that Jamaica is unsafe, I found the local people to be very friendly and nice. We knew that there will be a lot of stairs so i booked the room at the lower level so that my father does not have... more

Finally had the opportunity to stay at the Altamont West in MoBay. Lovely hotel from time we checked in. MIchael was very pleasant working the desk. Front desk staff was always courteous. Rooms are very nice. Better than Gloustershire and Wexford -- hands down!! Didn't realize til my last day free internet was available. Who needs that on vacation anyway?... more

Upon learning of the death finding affordable, safe, clean accommodations was top priority. I was referred to the Altamont by a cousin who had not stayed there but just heard of... more

Room WAY back in hotel - very hot and stuffy corridors - maybe a converted or added on to building? Basic room - nicely tiled floors. Air worked well. One small window into hallway. Breakfast included at... more

I'm so glad this hotel now has a place to post a review. When I stayed there last year in August they didn't have a place to post one. This hotel is located on the "Hip Strip" near the Brewery. Walking distance to Pier One, downtown straw market and Margaritaville. The hotel decor is beautiful and the front desk overlooks... more

I am a native Jamaican living in Kingston, with many accommodation options in Montego Bay. But since 2007 I have limited myself to just the Altamont West. Why? The Altamont West is simply the prettiest, smartest boutique hotel in Jamaica. A brightly painted exterior welcomes you to the lobby, furnished with modern pieces, Jamaican art and antique treasures. There is... more
