Negril Holidays

The resort is in a great location with a stunning beach—clear water, soft sand, and peaceful surroundings. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, and the setting is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The hotel rooms are very outdated and in need of serious renovation. Furniture felt old, and the bathrooms were worn and not up to standard. The food was the biggest disappointment. Across all restaurants, the quality was poor. Dishes were often bland or overcooked, and I experienced stomach problems after eating at several of them. The buffet had a very limited selection, and the food often looked unappealing and tasted just as bad. Even worse, I noticed bugs in the dessert section multiple times, which was very concerning. Another issue was with the staff communication and knowledge. Many staff members, including those at reception, seemed confused or unsure when we asked about basic things like excursion details, bar hours, or how the towel process worked. We were often given conflicting answers from different employees, which made things frustrating and inconvenient. Overall, while the beach and location are excellent, the poor food, outdated rooms, and lack of consistent staff knowledge made for a disappointing experience. I expected more from a resort with this reputation.

We absolutely loved spending our honeymoon here. We got a beachfront suite and found it well worth the extra money - our room was amazing. We did a lot of the excursions - snorkeling, catamaran, massage. We even did the private boat cruise, which blew our expectations away! We had England and Captian Max on our private cruise and they made it an amazing time. Food was great. Location on the beach was great. Nightly entertainment was great. We would recommend for to anyone looking for a perfect mix of peace and adventure.

Great place, amazing location, and fun amenities. However, service and food quality left a lot to be desired! Also, be very careful about meal planning due to gaps in service. Overall, I'll be back. The beach section was incredible.

We enjoyed our stay here for a week out of our two week vacation in January. Location is amazing! Food and drinks were great. Entertainment was fun! Vibe overall great! Didn’t feel like a luxury resort as the rooms and pool areas need updated, but would definitely stay here again. I loved how laidback it was compared to Sandals.

Wrapping up a vacation for a few days. Trust all the reviews. Excellent experience, beach and ocean is just fantastic. Things that surprised us....1. super close to the road/highway, lots of noise. 2. Breakfast started at 7:30am. As many have said it's an older crowd, by 7:30 there is a long line to start. 3. No bottled water. there are filling stations but it's not cold nor the freshest tasting. 4. The toilets in the rooms offer little privacy. 5. We were in a major minority as this was our first time, met many who had been here 5+ times. That's a true testament on an establishment in my opinion. While we truly enjoyed it, we don't plan to come back we like to experience and explore a variety of locations.

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!).

Unfortunately we just left Sandals Negril this morning. After a week, it was time to go home. But our stay was top notch. Starting from the first greeting when we arrived to the last goodbye. We arrived a day late due to our first flight being delayed for weather, causing us to miss our final flight. They added our missed day to the end of our trip so we got to enjoy our entire honeymoon. The staff was AMAZING. We interacted with so many that I cannot remember names. The food was great. A lot of options and managed to try a few things I had never had. Overall our experience was top notch and we will definitely be returning.

Spent a week at Sandals Negril. The whole experience was amazing. The entertainers were all wonderful but King James stood out the most for us. He made our trip even more enjoyable. He really made our trip memorable. He is a remarkable entertainer and went out of his way to make us feel at home. So five stars also to King James. Sandals Negril itself was an amazing place to stay. We loved it.

An Unforgettable Honeymoon at Sandals Negril Our honeymoon at Sandals Negril was nothing short of magical—every detail exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed and cared for by the incredible staff. One of the first gestures that impressed us was when a thoughtful team member handed us his umbrella so we wouldn’t get wet while exploring in the rain. This small act of kindness set the tone for what would become an exceptional experience. A special mention goes to Jodi-Ann at the gift shop, whose warmth and guidance made a lasting impression. She not only helped us find our way but introduced us to a manager who arranged a specially prepared oxtail dinner by one of the chefs—a surprise that made us feel incredibly valued. To add to the magic, they even set up a romantic candlelight dinner for us, making our evening truly special. Another standout was Jeffery, the talented photographer who captured beautiful moments of our honeymoon, including our candlelight dinner. His attention to detail ensured that we have memories to cherish forever. Every element of our stay was tailored to make us feel celebrated, and the hospitality at Sandals Negril was beyond anything we had hoped for. If you’re looking for a resort that delivers exceptional service, personalized experiences, and a breathtaking setting, Sandals Negril is the place to be. Thank you again to Jodi-Ann, Jeffery, and the wonderful team at Sandals for making our honeymoon so memorable! Sincerely, The Murray’s

Spend a week with them here at Sandals Negril. Had butler service, which was great. This resort is great if you want to walk 7 mile beach and not party. Very quiet and relaxing resort. The security always has you check in and out with them when leaving the resort, which is great for your protection. Two security members, Andrea and Dave Wiggins, we're funny and always made a point to see how our day was going and talked with us both. Had a lot of laughs with them. The rooms are nice. They are updating some rooms with new furniture. If you get a chance, book building 7. It's amazing. Got a chance to meet the property manager's. They always walk around and talk to guest. Which was nice to see and meet them.

My little family, which consist of my two boys and myself, just got back from this wonderful place. As soon as we got there, we were greeted by Michael. He was so wonderful to us and took our bags to our room. Every staff member there were just simply the best. The food was amazing and the resort it self was clean and beautiful. Entertainment was exciting and every night we looked forward to seeing something new. Every time my kids walked out of the room on their own, I knew they would be safe. The only thing I would have liked to seen more of, was diversity in music. I get that most of the visitors there are white. But there was a handful of us Latinos and African Americans. I look forward going back to Beaches Negril.

We recently completed a 12 night stay of Beaches Negril, our second trip to this resort. What brought us back wasn’t just the resort, but the staff. We always feel like we are more than just a customer. The staff are almost always pleasant and more than willing to help out with a reasonable request. We were met almost immediately by Paulette once we arrived to inform us our room was undergoing some maintenance, and would be ready for us the next day. We were looked after and she was able to make it right for us. We spent a good deal of time speaking with Yanike at the welcome home dinner and she was a wealth of information for the Sandals Foundation as well as the kids club. Everyone at the kids club is amazing and made our kids feel like they were with their best friends. Our kids were disappointed when we didn’t take them. From the beach to the pools to the many amazing restaurants (thank you Chef Lemar for taking the time to indulge our questions), the loyalty office, the concierge, I can’t thank everyone enough who made our trip amazing. One tip, make sure you get your weekly schedule when you check in, they have amazing events through the week and you don’t want to miss out. We have already booked for 2027 and can’t wait to come back.

We had an absolute amazing time on our family vacation! Staff truly made our trip so wonderful from the bartenders to the front desk to the sales team to the managers. Everybody was so professional and went above and beyond to make us stay great. We will definitely be going back.! Food was fantastic. We met a couple of the chefs and you can tell they put their heart and soul into the dining. It was so great 😀

We were treated like royality. The service was amazing! The entire concierge staff along with the beach staff were excellent! I feel like I have gained new sons and daughters... Things for you to consider for a more comfortable stay: -More seating in the guest rooms. -A door at the bathroom entrance. -Higher chairs on the beach and for lounging. -Control over the random birds and cats in the dining areas. -More handicap accessibility. I have a disability. Walking is a challenge for me. Sitting on low chairs is also an issue. Thank you for your attention to my comments.

We was there first week of June 25. The resort is amazing especially when traveling with kids. It is a smaller resort so no waiting for anything. All watersports on property are inclusive and such fun for young and old.the food was good. The rooms are good. The staff 10/10. Everyone was very attentive and always ask what they can help with or if we need anything. The entertainment staff was amazing and gave a great show every day. We loved it so much we booked for next your again.
