The second largest resort city in Jamaica, Mobay as Montego Bay is popularly called, has more hotel rooms than any other part of the island. It's the principal gateway to Jamaica and the main tourist center, with several modest public beaches and a good choice of hotels and all-inclusive resorts, concentrated in a touristy strip north of the historic city core (the downtown is of modest interest unless you are interested in seeing more of local life). Most of Montego Bay's four to five star hotels are located in Rosehall area Further along in Trelawny there are larger all inclusive family resorts.
