Sandals Negril

Loved everything about the resort, especially King James! What a riot he was! Fun all the time, great food and accommodations. We stayed in a “lower tier” room and couldn’t care less! It was gorgeous! Partied all day. A night and had a blast! Total score on this resort!

Just returned from another vacation in paradise. It was our 10th visit to Sandals Negril; it did not disappoint. We were warmly greeted by the staff upon arrival and were given a cold towel to refresh ourselves. We were immediately taken up to Club Sandals, given an "Ocean Delight" to jumpstart our vacay and assisted by Recol "Total Recall" in making dinner reservations for several nights. We arrived in time for lunch, and immediately afterward our room was ready. We stay in the Paradise building, and had a third-floor beach front room. Since our last visit, Sandals added an overhang on all third floor balconies to protect against the sun. A very nice touch! Our room was kept clean; towels and toiletries were replaced daily. Mini-bar was also stocked daily. Our housekeeper, Theresa, graced the bed with whimsical towel sculptures each day. The beach is raked daily and kept pristine. We noticed that the attentiveness of the beach attendants was greatly improved this year. Every time my husband and I were chilling on the beach, we were approached by an attendant asking if we would like a drink and she followed up to see if we wanted anything else. The Returning Guests Dinner was very nice; food was delicious and there was a lady playing the electric violin (Lady Virgin) that was AMAZING. She really added to the ambience! We were lucky enough to see The Silverbirds, an extremely talented steel-drum band. Several of the musicians were also very gifted dancers! The energy of this performance was OFF THE CHARTS. They're not at this resort every week; hopefully you will get to enjoy this show while you are there. The Red Lane Spa is a tranquil escape for a massage- I had a 60-minute Deep Relief massage with Vernita. I highly recommend her; it was a wonderful experience! Shout out to Tyrese at the Main Pool bar. He was always ready with a smile and a delicious cocktail. It's always wonderful to see Sandra at the Main Bar. She makes a mean espresso martini! Delish! As always, I save the best for last. A HUGE shout-out to Kennil ("Ken") at Loyalty and Travel. He warmly approached us upon arrival and we discovered there was an issue with our loyalty points not being properly credited due to a name discrepancy. He immediately straightened the situation out, and when we visited him later in the week to book our trip for next year, we saved over 700.00 toward the new booking! We've had issues in the past with people from Loyalty and Travel being very pushy and constantly leaving messages on our in-room phone. Ken did none of these things. He is such a credit to the Sandals brand. I hope Ken will be there when we arrive next year. We will know we are "home". Thank you, Ken. ~ Danielle Moran

My boyfriend and I booked that last-minute trip to go to the sandals resort in Negril. We had a $5000 so of course we just booked a regular room for five nights. We did not do the concierge or Butler service because it was a last-minute trip. We also were told that it wouldn’t matter that the service would still be comparable.. First of all, we arrived at our room and it was in the oldest building of course on the property it was facing the busy street or all you could hear were motorcycles, loud trucks, music, and people screaming all hours of the day and night our building was also next to the area where they had wedding receptions and two nights they had DJs playing music for 3 to 4 hours so even if you wanted to go to bed early you couldn’t because it was so loud. I feel like if they’re going to have weddings there like that, they should have an area away from the actual rooms so that it doesn’t disturb others.. Our biggest disappointment was the food and anyone that thinks the food there is exceptional undoubtably has not traveled extensively like we have and certainly has not eaten at a real gourmet restaurant. We had nothing there that was gourmet . In fact, if I had to guess I would say most of it was premade or frozen and prepared there. The central buffet on the property was what I would equate to going on the cheapest carnival cruise that you could go on as far as the value and quality of the food . We were absolutely so disappointed about that because we thought at least if nothing else. the unlimited food and drinks would be the best part. Of course there’s very little liquor in the drinks and the food is sub standard at best. . We did have several employees that were very nice, but we also had several who acted like they weren’t very happy to be there. There were so many places on the property that just looked like it had deferred maintenance or needed to be updated. Of course, the beach in the water there is beautiful because after all it is the Caribbean, but it was quite annoying that so many locals were constantly walking up and down the beach in front of you trying to get you to buy weed or other trinkets or to have your hair braided, it was constant. We paid extra to go on the catamaran trip, which was nice as far as the boat ride went, but it was actually too rough in my opinion to be snorkeling, but that was part of the trip, but it was fun, but of course we had to pay an additional $250 to enjoy that. Anyway, overall, we don’t believe we’ll be visiting Jamaica again and not sure about another sandals resort I would have to do a little more research into it.

Amazing place. Exceptional people. Such an amazing experience. We will write more. Highly recommend Brava restaurant on the beach which Daniel runs so beautifully. Big shout out to the wonderful Earl who has the best soul ever. Olivia is incredible at the Bayside restaurant. We loved the reggae sunset catamaran cruise to Rik’s and Captain Wayne and Traveese were amazing. Weather, environment and facilities here at Sandsls are exceptional. The Hintons.

I would not recommend this resort to any adult that is looking for a relaxing vacation. The rooms at all levels are very dated and are greatly in need of repair. The beach is very limited (I would suggest RUI resort at the other end of 7 mile beach) and you are constantly harassed by people trying to sell you weed. I think the kids find this great but is vey irritating to adults and especially seniors. We complained, but got a very short answer that this is the way it is. The food is fair and the staff for the most part are nice. The poor maintenance staff are run ragged trying to keep up with the complaints regarding water leak, air conditioners etc in the room. I would never go back to this resort and would not recommend this to any adult.
