My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Sandals Negril for 12 days, and our experience was nothing short of memorable. From the breathtaking beach views to the vibrant atmosphere, what truly stood out was the world-class dining and the incredible staff who made our trip special in so many ways. Culinary Highlights The food at Sandals Negril was absolutely five-star. Every meal was a celebration of flavor, and several dishes deserve special mention: • The Sundowner served one of the most incredible surf and turf dinners we’ve had — the lobster and steak were cooked to perfection, and the crabcake was so fresh and well-seasoned that we ordered it more than once. • Bayside offered a delightful experience, with standout dishes like the escargot, paired beautifully with a relaxed evening ambiance. But the culinary excellence didn’t stop there — we also ventured down to Beaches, where we were blown away by both the Italian restaurant and the sushi bar. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of authentic flavors. At Crema, every morning started with a perfect cup of coffee — rich, balanced, and expertly crafted. We were impressed to learn that the resort flew in a master barista from another country to train the team, ensuring they were not only skilled but also certified in the art of coffee-making. Their passion showed in every cup. Outstanding Service While not every interaction met a perfect standard, several team members truly elevated our stay: • Michelle at Sundowner delivered consistent, attentive, and warm service every time we dined there. Her attention to detail did not go unnoticed. • At Bayside, Olivia was an absolute standout. Her energy, promptness, and friendly nature set a gold standard — if everyone on property were like Olivia, the resort would easily rival any five-star global destination. • Stacy-Ann from Club Sandals brought such professionalism and warmth that made us feel cared for throughout our stay. She’s a true asset to the property. • When we experienced an issue at Perla, where staff failed to appear during late-night hours, Lancelot, the Food and Beverage Director, stepped in with true leadership. He handled the matter quickly and professionally, and even made our anniversary celebration one to remember — a personal touch we deeply appreciated. Additionally, I reached out to Cion, one of the managers on staff, through the GINA app, regarding the ocean floaties, which had become dirty due to a seaweed issue. She addressed the concern immediately, and for the rest of our stay, they were cleaned every other day, improving the overall beach experience significantly. Service Feedback While the food and select staff were exceptional, overall service throughout the resort lands between 3.5–4 stars, particularly when compared to Sandals Dunn’s River, where we experienced consistent five-star treatment. At Dunn’s, from the moment you walked into a restaurant or approached a bar, you were greeted warmly, served water instantly, and checked on throughout your meal without needing to flag anyone down. Lancelot did mention that he only took over the role in March, and he’s well aware that there’s room for improvement. With his leadership, it’s clear Sandals Negril is on its way to reaching that same elite level. We’re confident that with time and consistent training, this resort will match or exceed expectations across the board. ⸻ Final Thoughts: Sandals Negril gave us incredible memories, exceptional meals, and a few truly standout employees who made us feel special. The property is improving every day, and under the guidance of dedicated leaders like Lancelot, Cion, and team members like Olivia, Stacy-Ann, and Michelle, it’s clear that Sandals Negril is headed toward true five-star excellence. We look forward to returning in the future and seeing the continued transformation. Until next time, Negril. ⸻ Read less

We have made our third trip to Sandals Negril this last June, we love the feel of this location, the staff and beach to meet all our needs. We have visited almost all locations on the island but just keep coming back here. I want to make a few special shout outs to Chris at the piano bar that just makes the best drinks around. You are the man! Juli-ann was great keeping us straightened up and clutter free in our room. As usual the staff at Bayside for breakfast are always so friendly and welcoming. Delroy it was so great to see you again. You are an extraordinary butler and person. This is truly our one love resort. Read less

Briana, Ashli and Ruth from the Entertainment team are really amazing! They made sure that everyone was having fun, even when it was raining. They taught us how to play Ludi and it was a blast! We really enjoyed the game and will teach our kids how to play!
