Overview
Secrets St. James Montego Bay is the sister property to Secrets Wild Orchid, sharing the same private peninsula and facilities while maintaining separate suite inventory and a distinct visual identity. For very large destination wedding groups requiring adults-only accommodation for 150 to 400 guests, combining Wild Orchid and St. James room blocks under a single group agreement gives couples the capacity of a mega-resort with the intimacy of a boutique property on each side of the peninsula.

10/10 recommend Vacationeeze and Jack and his team
We quickly decided we didn't want to do a local wedding, so we started looking up YouTube videos of destination weddings. We found Jack and fell in love with him. We loved how he was a no nonsense type of guy that wasn't trying to sell anyone on anything, he was just stating facts and his knowledge. We quickly decided that we wanted Jack to be the one to help us figure out a destination wedding for us.

Fantastic Vacation!
What a gorgeous resort! From the swings at the bar to the numerous pools… Many thanks to Zandra and Vacationeeze for planning such a dream vacation to El Dorado Maroma in Playa del Carmen last November! It was a beautiful location and the organized events were perfect! We had a delicious dinner on the beach that was beautifully decorated with flowers and lights… just magical! Thank you Zandra, for picking such an amazing resort - we loved the Mexican night, the tequila tasting, and the mariachis! We will be returning for more advice from you in the future!!
