Montego Bay 2020 - Secrets Wild Orchid - The Room

This resort is amazing. I can't wait to try it again post-plague, when all the amenities are available. Even now, it's incredible. We stayed in the Preferred Club. This is wonderful luxury, even now when some things are unavailable because safety. My personal favourite is the fact that you can order champagne from room service at no additional cost (well, tip your room service person). It's also available in the bars. 😍

First, the room is nice.  The balcony has two chairs and a table. It also has a hot tub that would seat two comfortably. My room (1201) also had a view of the outdoor stage, so I could grab a drink, fill the tub, start the jets, and watch the show -- Live Music! -- with a ridiculous amount of comfort. The stage was to the left. Directly in front of me was Montego Bay. I liked my view a lot.

I am always amazed at my ability to forget to take obvious pictures, like say, the bed. It was a king size, in between the living area and the bathroom.  The bathroom was a large open area with shutter doors which opened to the main room, exposing the second one-seater soaking hot tub. It also had a two sink vanity. In separate cubicles were the toilet, and the rain shower.

The shower was complete with shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. The size of the bottles was generous so you could get by with one of each for the entire stay. I thought this was much better than the single use ones you normally get, which produce ridiculous amounts of waste plastic.

The sack between the two sinks contained all the toiletries and face cloths. Aside from the usual suspects there were shaving cream, a razor, mosquito repellent, and a comb. 

There was also an incense holder, matches, and a single incense stick. Nice. I wish they had replenished the incense while I was there, though; it was the only thing that kept the mosquitoes at bay.

The room was very comfortable. It had a nice ceiling fan, and lots of places to charge things. There were lots of towels, and five pillows were on the bed. The room also had a safe and a television. I don't tend to watch television when I'm travelling, so I will have to take other guests' word for it that there were three porn channels available (included!).

I mentioned the room service briefly. There is a cupboard with a door which opens outside your room, and another door which opens inside your room. This is where all room service deliveries take place. At the beginning of your stay, this is also where your mini-bar contents are. There is the standard sodas, beer, and a small bottle of some rather nice rum. In addition, there are granola bars, and potato chips in case you feel snacky. These are included in your stay, and you can phone room service to get them replenished. You also need to order coffee pods from room service, as they are not left in your room by default, currently.
