Celebrating our anniversary where we got married 10 years ago was the best decision we ever made. Sandals Negril has some of the most exceptional staff. They make you feel like family especially the entertainment team. The singers and dancers here are amazing!! Ruth has a personality like no other. She’s always chatting with us and involving us in everything. The bartenders here are really friendly as well. Fiona, Tyrese, Trevolyn, Brendon and Sasha are some of the ones who really stood out.

Had a wonderful stay from June 2-8th. This is during the rain season. So expect sun in the am & rain in the afternoon. We spent most of our days at the main pool. Ton of pool activities & music. But still very relaxing. Get out early to reserve a chair 8 am or sooner. Pool bars open at 10 am. Great bar tenders that deserve a tip if you can offer one. Romaine at the fitness center is top notch, his workouts are super. Fitness center is way too warm. They need to lower the temps in there. Rooms are good, they are dated in some areas but still first class. Maids are super. Restaurants are good, ton of options. Morning buffet at the bayside is great. You will need to make reservations at 3 of them. We didn’t try Kimonos (Japanese). Beach was great as it long and walkable. Dress is very casual throughout. Shorts & shirts are fine. Highly recommend it. Read less

Sandals Negril is an absolute Paradise Lover's dream! From the lush tropical gardens throughout the resort to the amazing restaurants, you cannot go wrong! My wife and I came here to celebrate her 50th Bday and we were not disappointed one bit at all. Charlton at the Piano Bar was our favorite member of Team Sandals!!! He started preparing our drinks as soon as he saw us walking his way! Also, Stacie Ann (one of the supervisors) was constantly checking in on us to make sure that our stay was a memorable one by always making sure we had enough Red Stripe beer in our room's mini fridge. Highly recommend the Bamboo Grove swim-out suite that we stayed in. Always great to take a dip after a long day in the sun as well as after an evening of drinks and dining. We cannot wait to come back!!! Read less

Overal a good holiday, would go back (if we had a good deal) but more 4* not 5 star experience. Summary -------------- - the coffee/ice cream shop is great. Open most of the day. But sometimes there was only 1 ice cream flavour - Scuba diving team were good (except the constant upselling) - dining options for a 1 week stay - cleaning. the teams were constantly cleaning the beach and gardens - resort, proximity from the rooms to the beach - space - didn't feel crowded - transfered included - decent wifi throughout - lovely beach The Room ---------------- On checkin we were given a room lower category than we paid for and had a number of problems. We spoke to staff and we changed room on the next day and that was better. Service ------------- Service is very inconsistent throughout the stay. Depending on what waiter/waitress you gave could result in a very different dinner service. Housekeeping is inconsistent In general the service lack attention to detail and consistency. There are more examples, but in general for a 5* holiday you don't consistently get 5* service. Facilities ------------- Good facilities, a few pools, lots of sun loungers on the beach. For 1 week there was plenty of dining options. Array of water sports. Staff an continuously cleaning which was appreciated. Sell, Sell Sell -------------------- Most people you speak to will try to upsell you on something. Sandals already has a lot to offer, but rather than promoting and informing guest of the facilities and services included staff are constantly trying to upsell us on something. Read less
