Anyone used it? I really wasn’t considering using it for arrival, but I heard the lines going through security during peak times (we are arriving at 2:05) can cause waiting 2-3 hours and club mobay fast tracks you through. I’m definitely considering it for departure, though

We used it last summer. Had a lady waiting at the bottom of the escalator with a sign with our name. Handed her our papers and passports so she could check everything over while we walked. Went through customs extremely quickly without any baggage check or anything. Then we sat in the Club Mobay lounge while waiting for our shuttle to our resort which was much less crowded than the resort lounge.

I don't know how it compared to not having it since I hadn't been before but it was recommended from our travel agent.

Used it three weeks ago worth the cost. The customs and immigration line took about two minutes. I’ll use them again.

It all depends on when you land (what day and what time of day). How many other arrivals are there around the time you land? If there are several then I’d say go for it. If only your flight or maybe one other, you’d be fine without it. I’ve made it from deplaning to the couples lounge within 15 minutes without it and it’s taken me an hour before. Landing on a Saturday at 11:00 I’d get it for sure. I’ve flown into sangster 7 times and never used mobay before my last trip, but was glad to have it then.

ETA:
We always leave to come back on a Saturday or Sunday mid-day. Definitely worth it for departure. Not only is the shorter line through security nice, but the lounge in the terminals is worth it alone.

We will be arriving on Monday 4/1/18 at around 1:05 pm. Is there a way I can check flight schedules that far out?

I don't believe so. I would just check the Monday's that are currently able to be viewed and the Monday's past to see what comes in around that time. From what I saw it seemed there are a few flights that come in around that time on a Monday. I'd think it would be worth it.
Are you going to a resort or renting a house? The resorts have their own airport lounges for arrivals after clearing customs and exiting the secure area, but Mobay's lounge has more food and drink options. The lounge is just lagniappe. The place where it is worth the money is clearing customs faster.

I've used it for departure several times. The food is OK, finger foods and little salads. The all you can drink top shelf booze is great. They even filled up my friends water bottle with gin last time before she left. Highly recommend.

It was included when I booked my Jamaican honeymoon through expedia. I felt like a rockstar getting to skip all the lines.

Yeah we're staying at the Iberostar Grand Rose Hall. I don't believe they have a lounge. I think I might pull the trigger on it. The quicker I get through customs the quicker my arse is on the beach with a drink in hand!

This place is great and I did Club Mobay at the airport, too. Upstairs lounge is fine, but it's pretty cramped downstairs.

Did you do it for arrival and departure? Or just one?

I take it you have stayed at The Grand? If so, how was the food/drinks?

Yeah, stayed there in January.

Goes without saying, but tipping a couple dollars every few drinks will go a long ways for your stay. Somewhat blanking, but our bartender was named Keon. He was great. Unless I missed something, there was only one swim-up bar.

Had no issue with the food except for the Surf & Turf Restaurant. Forgot its actual name, but the fish was dry as hell. Ate breakfast each morning at Port Maria, which is an open air restaurant by the pool. That was lovely.
