The van eases away from a sun-bright hotel strip and Montego Bay opens like a marketplace that breathes — warm breezes pushing the scent of sea and frying spices through open windows. On Bryan Ottey’s private VIP drive, the city becomes a short, sensory loop: bustling Harbour City shops, a shaded pause at Harmony Park, and a final, sweet stop for a scoop of iconic Jamaican ice cream.
