Negril Holidays

My husband and I had never been to Jamaica before and we absolutely LOVED the resort and staff. We met other amazing couples from all over the states who had been coming back to the resort year after year and offered lots of insight! The food at each of the restaurants was great. Well seasoned and authentic. The staff were attentive and efficient. We decided to do a Garden room and that did not disappoint. The view was lovely and serene. The room was clean and always stocked. The house keepers made sure you always had what you needed without asking. The pool was a perfect temperature and the swim up bar was always fully stocked! Of course I can’t forget to compliment how clean the beach was! It was beautiful and well kept. Clear water and nothing but sand! Needless to say, we will absolutely be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at Couples Negril and would definitely recommend it, especially as a honeymoon destination. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and set on one of the most stunning beaches we’ve ever experienced. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking every evening — a true highlight of our trip. The food was good overall, with plenty of variety and flavorful dishes throughout the restaurants and bars. The service at the restaurants was generally decent, but there were times when some of the wait staff seemed uninterested or not very engaged, which took away from the experience a bit. One of our favorite parts of the stay was waking up early and heading to the beach — not just for the calm, crystal-clear water, but also for the marine life! If you go out into the water in the morning, you’ll often see stingrays, crabs, and lots of fish swimming near the shore. It was such a fun and unexpected surprise that made our mornings extra special. Unfortunately, we did have one unpleasant moment during our stay — when we returned to our room after dinner one night, we found a cockroach on the bed. It was definitely gross and not something you ever want to deal with while on vacation. That said, housekeeping came quickly, changed the sheets, and handled the situation well. Despite that one issue, we still had an incredible time. The beach alone is enough to make us want to return. The vibe is romantic and relaxed, the scenery is unforgettable, and it’s a perfect place for a honeymoon or couples getaway. We would absolutely come back. Thank you Couples!

Beach location is excellent and very private. All hotel amenities are a short walk away. We got a great room with a really nice ocean view. Hotel has a lot of include activities, like the catamaran ride and snorkeling boat. Scuba diving is also available free of charge for certified divers. They go on two boat dives per day. You’ll probably need the advanced open water cert to go to the nicer spots. Drinks were subpar unfortunately. They don’t really know how to prepare a lot of them. Food quality is good, but available selection is poor. Was really disappointed to see the main buffet become a la carte restaurant of several days, with an even more limited selection. Also tried to get two sides and server got mad (I had never seen anything like this in an AI resort). I really liked the small and hidden coffee shop behind the lobby stairs. My wife also had a great experience and the spa.

Wonderful staff and amazing location. Food was good. Drinks watered down, as expected. As for the activities not included in the all inclusive offer, like the spa or scuba diving, ridiculous rip-off prices! The free airport shuttle is a whole different story! This is how you start your experience at Couples Resorts. We had to cough up tips before even being let on the shuttle bus! The porter then even stated that you should remember to make it enough for two porters! They make more in a hour than most professionals! Would I go here again? No.

Beautiful resort with a beautiful beach. Staff were friendly, food was great with good selections, drinks were great also. Our only complaint was that we didn’t book a longer stay, six days were not enough. Plan to return next year!!

Thomas Jackson

We love it. We rented a beach cabana every day Orlando C was the attendant. He is simply fantastic. When you come to Sandals Negril (book it), make sure you see Orlando C for cabanas or snorkeling. He's great. The entire staff is great. It's quiet and adult friendly. My wife and I will return.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (4.5/5) We just returned from a relaxing stay at Sandals Negril in May 2025, and I can confidently say it was our best visit yet! Having previously stayed in February 2024, I immediately noticed the positive impact of new General Manager Melissa Clark and her team. The resort felt noticeably cleaner, the staff more attentive and genuinely friendly, and even the food had improved across the board. These changes didn’t go unnoticed and truly enhanced our experience. This resort continues to be the perfect choice for a romantic and stress-free getaway. From breathtaking sunsets to the soft, white sand beach just steps from your room, the location is unbeatable. You’re literally on the beach—it’s hard to find another resort with this kind of proximity to the ocean. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional butler service, which made our vacation feel completely effortless. Huge thanks to our incredible butlers, Felix and Damien, who went above and beyond to make everything perfect. We were treated to breakfast on our patio, daily treats like fresh fruit and champagne, romantic touches like a sunset soak in our tub, and seamless dinner reservations each night. While no place is truly perfect, this trip came very close. Sandals Negril earns a solid 4.5 stars from us—5 stars for rooms, service, and location. If you're considering a relaxing beachfront escape where you're truly cared for, I highly recommend Sandals Negril (especially with butler service!).

We stayed at Sandals Negril for 7 nights to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary — a trip we had been looking forward to for years. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful, and our room exceeded expectations. The butler service was outstanding — attentive, thoughtful, and truly top-tier. In that regard, the resort and staff deserve a 5-star rating. Unfortunately, our overall experience was devastatingly disappointing due to a severe illness that struck both of us the second day of our stay. We spent the majority of our vacation — nearly 80% of the time — extremely ill and confined to our room, unable to enjoy the amenities, beach, restaurants, or even our anniversary day itself. We sought care from the on-site doctor and were told lab results would be available within 7–10 days. It has now been nearly four weeks, and we still haven’t received any results, despite following up. Multiple staff members asked us what we had eaten, suggesting the illness may have been related to the food — which is deeply concerning, especially at an all-inclusive resort known for its culinary offerings. This was the most expensive vacation we’ve ever taken, and it was meant to be a celebration of a major milestone in our lives. Instead, it was overshadowed by a health crisis and a lack of post-care follow-through. We’re heartbroken that such a beautiful place with such excellent service ended up being the backdrop for such a disappointing and distressing experience. We hope that no other guests have to go through the same. *** UPDATE- test results arrived after 3 months and we tested positive for SALMONELLA.

Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation! The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was great at every restaurant. Kimonos and Barefoot by the Sea were our favorites! The beach was beautiful. The seagrass was there, but really not a huge problem. We had the Paradise Beachfront Club level room (3rd floor) and the view was amazing and the room was spectacular. Seriously don’t know how anywhere else could ever top Sandals Negril!!

The rooms were beautiful, the service was amazing, house keeping would come daily and clean and fix up our room! Service was amazing, everyone was beyond kind from the moment we got here! All of the photographers were amazing and made taking pictures fun! The location was perfect, so much to do and see! This experience was beautiful, romantic and amazing!!! We had the absolute best time!

I had such a wonderful stay at this all-inclusive Caribbean gem! The staff was incredibly professional and made sure every part of my nudist experience was comfortable and stress-free. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the views were absolutely stunning—perfect for relaxing and recharging. The spa is top-notch and affordable. Saunas, pools, and showers are all clean and wonderfully inviting. One of the highlights for me was rooftop yoga with Jovi. I showed up expecting some gentle cat-cows, but it turned out to be an energizing and fun morning workout that set the tone for the day. Between the peaceful atmosphere and top-notch service, I can't wait to come back!

Grand Lido Negril is a great place to celebrate special occasions as a couple. The staff are naturally invested in ensuring you have a good time and always manage to blow my mind each time. Just celebrated my husbands birthday with them and he had the most amazing time. Thanks to Simone, Peaches, Ricardo, Michelle, Kirk and the entire Grand Lido team for always making us feel right at home.

Theresa Glasgow

Stayed at the Grand Lido to celebrate my best friend's 59th birthday. What a magical time we had, every detail was taken care of. Our butler service was top tier. Romaine and Michelle took care of our every need and went above and beyond for my friends birthday.

Laura Grace

Condley was our butler and he was amazing, very attentive. The resort was amazing, staff was very pleasant, food was great, fun activities for all ages on property …the only complaints I have…is probably the 10lbs I gained from all the amazing food and gelato and having to leave lol. Can’t wait to go again! Make sure to do some excursions as well.

We had two weeks scheduled this August with another couple. They canceled my vacation because they have to replace their HVAC units and do a remodel. This is total BS because we know their air conditioning unit was out months and months and months and months ago when my wife and her girlfriend went there. They didn’t even have fans for the rooms. They took a very laze fair attitude towards their customers. Why didn’t they fix this last winter when I knew they had the problem plus the spring and summer months coming upon us. These are bad business people and they’re taking it out at the expense of the people that keep them open. our friends in Canada nor us will ever come to this place again because the management is absolutely low end!!

Anthony Falcone

Such a fantastic experience at this resort. All aspects of the service team were top notch. Extremely friendly and helpful staff here. The food is exceptional at each of the restaurants (loved the Peruvian dinner the best). The beaches are well maintained and clean. The water is crystal clear. The Beach activities are managed from a third party company. We did 3-4 activities and excursions, and each was enjoyable, safe, and professionally handled. There's some very fast and fun water slides, and a splash area for the little ones. The evening and night shows featured a very talented team, employed full-time by the resort. From fire shows to water shows, reggae and Broadway nights -each were very enjoyable. Thank you Beaches Negril team for a great vacation!

We loved this vacation for the kids! From the beach to the pool, water park, crafts, shows, games.... there was never a shortage of things for them to do! The staff are amazing and very helpful, the food was delicious and the options are never ending! The property is very well maintained and we loved wandering the grounds looking at all the flowers and scenery, it is a beautiful place!

Marina Binis

Mikelia, the Red Lane Spa receptionist, was very friendly and welcoming. I was a little late for my appointment, but she said that was no problem. She made me feel right at ease. Maxine was my masseuse, and walked me through the procedures, from where the locker room was for changing and then where I would meet her to walk me to the massage room. My lavender massage was fantastic! Maxine did an exceptional job and was very caring. She remembered exactly where I had my sunburn and was gentle on those areas. After my massage, I almost fell asleep because it was so wonderful. Maxine is the best, I highly recommend her!

Beth Stopak

Our room had some issues but were fixed within an hour or two. You can't beat the location. Such a beautiful beach. The Jamaican people are wonderful. They are so nice and go out of their way to make your experience incredible. I traveled with 7 grandchildren ages 18 yrs to 5 yrs old. They had fun things to do for all ages. All 7 would love to go back.

I recently stayed at Beaches and there were many aspects of the experience that I truly enjoyed. The food was excellent, and the service provided by staff across the resort—including the front desk, concierge, restaurants, kids club, and entertainment team—was top-notch. The entertainment was lively and engaging, and the character experiences were a big hit, especially for the kids. The outdoor appearance of the property is beautiful and well-maintained. However, there are definitely some areas that need improvement. Room service was only available to guests staying in the most expensive butler suites, which was disappointing given the high cost of staying at the resort. Some rooms are extremely outdated, with old, worn-out furniture. I had to request a room change because my original room was in poor condition. There were also plumbing issues—my toilet flooded, the bathtub was loose and “sweating,” and there were visible signs of water damage on the walls, which had clearly just been painted over. Mold was present along the sides of the air conditioner, which raised health concerns and added to the overall dissatisfaction with the room. For the price of this resort, I expected better. It’s clear that guests in butler suites receive a much higher level of attention and quality, but all rooms should be held to the same standard. I’ve stayed at less expensive resorts that offered more modern, better-maintained rooms and room service for all guests. Beaches really needs to invest in updating all rooms and offering room service across the board, not just for premium suites. Until these issues are addressed, the value for money just isn’t there.
