This was our 6th time to Negril, we had always been to the Beaches, we brought our boys! This time we were going to be just a couple and very excited to see the resort. We stayed in a walkout room and we were not disappointed! Being able to walk right onto the beach was delightful. Our service was excellent; Olivia from Bayside and Sundowner, Trishan from Barefoot and Perla, Ashalea from Perla and Barefoot, Arron, Nick, from Barefoot. Our bartender Chris at the piano bar went overboard with wonderful drinks! We brought our friends and I had told them how wonderful Negril was and they had a wonderful experience! Negril is my happy place there is a wonderful feeling in my heart and has been there since I first came here. That was 37 years ago, Negril Jamaica is still that special place for me! Read less

Absolutely Perfect Honeymoon at Sandals Negril! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect honeymoon. From the moment we arrived at Sandals Negril, we were blown away by how clean, beautiful, and welcoming everything was. The staff truly goes above and beyond — they’re not just helpful, they’re warm, friendly, and make you feel like family. The food was fantastic, the amenities top-notch, and there was always something fun to do. We loved the daily activities and entertainment, from water sports to shows and themed nights. Two of our favorite activities were the sip and paint and bracelet-making classes — we had an absolute blast, and the staff running them made it even better with their energy and humor. The real highlight of our stay was getting to know the amazing entertainment team. Princess, Briana, Ruth, Odane, Sky, Oniquekio, and of course King James made our trip unforgettable. They truly made us feel like part of the Sandals family. They took time out of their busy schedules to check in on us, hang out, and even came in on their day off just to say goodbye. Their shows were incredible and their energy was contagious — they’re a huge reason we’re already planning to return. The grounds were immaculately kept, the beach was stunning, and the whole resort had such a relaxing, joyful vibe. Whether you’re planning a honeymoon or just a getaway, I would HIGHLY recommend Sandals Negril. It was an experience we’ll never forget — and we can’t wait to go back! Read less

Just returned from a 6 day/5 night stay; here is my honest review. The ride from Montego Bay to Negril was about 2 hrs. The driver was awesome and made the trip fun. We arrived and since we were club level, we went up to the club concierge for check in. The process was very smooth, and we were taken to our room. Unfortunately, we were put in the section of the Paradise building that was being remodeled so our view was 1/2 beautiful beach and 1/2 construction debris. I don't normally ask for a change but did this time, and they were more than accommodating. They relocated us to room 3204 in the Paradise Building and the view was spectacular! Of note, there are only a handful of rooms getting redone at a time. This was the only negative experience, and again, the club concierge staff made it right immediately! On to the good... the food, drinks, and atmosphere, all absolutely awesome! Each and every staff member we encountered seemed genuinely happy to be there. Most importantly though, Trevolyn (hope that's right) the bartender at Perla was fantastic ( my wife your best friend lol says hi) .. and also Keron (hope that's right as well) the photographer who we saw every day; he was by far my favorite of all the staff and we were truly saddened when we said goodbye ...Even on our last night when we already paid for some really great photos from the resort, he took two amazing shots of my wife and I using her cell phone so we'd be sure to have them. Both are VALUABLE ASSETS to your resort, and should be recognized as such! Also, the bartenders at the main pool were some of the best I've ever met! I don't have his name but a big thank you to the one who provided the recipe for the Sundowner! Again, all staff members were fantastic. My wife and I actually said that to ourselves many times, as thats something we've never seen before (and we travel alot). All your employees truly seem to love their jobs. The beach and pools did the job, and staff at the pool had activities every day. We had a blast! Not sure why I've read negative reviews as we have nothing but great things to say! This was our first Sandals experience and wont be our last. We just booked Sandals Royal Bahamian for next summer! We will however make plans to come back to Negril. Thank you for an amazing and well needed vacation! Read less

We had an amazing trip last week to Sandals Negril. The resort is beautiful and so relaxing. Our room was updated and great as well. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the food choices, there are much less restaurants than other resorts we’ve been to, but the food was great at the restaurants! We just like to have a variety!
