A Truly Unforgettable 50th Wedding Anniversary in Paradise Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary at this stunning resort in Jamaica was both fun-filled and incredibly relaxing. This was our first time visiting Jamaica and this resort, and we were absolutely blown away — from the moment we arrived until the day we departed. After a long flight from the UK, the warm welcome and care shown by the staff made all the difference. We were immediately impressed with the hotel’s beautiful layout and the high standard of care provided. Our room was simply amazing — spacious, spotless, and stylishly presented, with breath-taking views from our second-floor balcony. A special highlight was the surprise we received on our anniversary: a lovely bottle of champagne and a cake, thoughtfully arranged by the staff. It was such a kind gesture that made us feel truly valued. That evening, we enjoyed a candlelight dinner on the beach — a magical experience. We were escorted from our room to a beautifully set table by the water, and at the end of the evening, my wife was presented with a red rose — a romantic and unforgettable touch. The food and drink throughout the resort were outstanding. The variety of restaurants and bars offered something for every palate. We dined at Sundowner, Barefoot, Brava, and Kimono (to name a few), sampling dishes like shellfish, snails, and octopus — all new to us, and all delicious! The cocktail menu was exceptional, and we especially enjoyed trying different drinks at each bar. The whole resort was pristine and inviting. The beach was cleaned each morning, and the water was so warm and clear — perfect for swimming. The bars were fantastic, with a special mention to the Piano Bar, where we met Charleton (Chris) — a fantastic guy with a great personality, who always had our drinks ready without us having to ask! Every member of staff was friendly, attentive, and hardworking. We'd like to give special thanks to: Alison, Olivia, and Andrea from the Bay Restaurant Trevolyon, Melissa, and Lois from Perla Ciran from hotel management Dyman from maintenance Orlando and Trevon (who were also brilliant) Two individuals truly stood out and made our trip extraordinary: Cian, from the managerial staff, who looked after us throughout our stay and made us feel like VIPs — a truly beautiful person inside and out. Sasha, our housekeeper, who was an absolute joy to see every day. She went above and beyond to keep our room immaculate, always adding thoughtful personal touches like towel animals or flower petals. She helped make our stay feel even more special. We honestly can't say enough positive things about this resort. It was the perfect place to celebrate such a special milestone, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering a visit. We’re already looking forward to returning next year. Read less

My wife and I came to Sandals Negril to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary—our first big trip leaving the kids at home.

My wife and I came to Sandals Negril to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary—our first big trip leaving the kids at home. We don’t travel much outside the U.S., and we’re not the most relaxed flyers, so we arrived pretty anxious and tired. But from our very first night, the staff here melted all that away and made us feel completely at home. On our first evening, we had dinner at Barefoot on the Beach and met Tovia and Rasheda. These two are absolute world-class rockstars who could work anywhere in the world. Tovia even surprised us by decorating our table with flowers for our anniversary, and both of them consistently gave us unforgettable, warm, and thoughtful service every time we went back. They set the tone for the whole trip. The resort photographers were another highlight. Whilbe had us laughing the entire time and helped us loosen up for pictures—his humor was contagious. O’Neal captured stunning, natural shots across the resort and even created beautiful calligraphy in the sand for our anniversary photos. These two went above and beyond to give us keepsakes we’ll treasure forever. On the water sports team, Moses taught me how to sail—something I’ll never forget. Now I’ll never look at an anchored boat without figuring out the wind direction! At the coffee shop, Britney crafted such good drinks that we found ourselves going back again and again (and again!). While those are the names that stood out most, honestly every single person we interacted with was amazing. From bartenders to housekeepers to entertainment staff, everyone made us feel welcome, cared for, and truly celebrated. The drinks were the best I’ve ever had, the food was consistently delicious, and the beach itself is paradise. For anyone considering Sandals Negril: this place is more than just a beautiful resort—it’s the people who make it unforgettable. Our 10-year anniversary couldn’t have been more perfect, and we left already talking about when we can come back. Read less

Thoroughly disappointed with my experience at Sandals Negril. On the our first day at the resort, got a sea urchin sting not even 15 ft from the resort shore in a swim area.

Thoroughly disappointed with my experience at Sandals Negril. On the our first day at the resort, got a sea urchin sting not even 15 ft from the resort shore in a swim area. This required spine removal at the nurse station, totaling $1500 in medical expenses. Multiple guests during our stay dealt with the same issue, but there was no mention of this hazard on the resort. The service was lackluster and the resort/facilities were underwhelming given the high price. There was also an incident on the beach where a vendor got aggressive with a guest, not something you want to see on vacation. You're better off staying elsewhere. Read less

Last year me and my wife celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Sandals Negril, and just knew we had to come back again this year to celebrate our 26th with them. WHAT AN AMAZING TIME AGAIN !!!!! When we arrived at the resort we were greeted with friendly smiles and service. Orlando showed us to our room, which was again the Paradise Beachfront Grande Luxe Club Level. Our room had been recently refreshed with new paint and amenities. While it was requested for us to have our previous room number, and to have our guests traveling with us as neighbors, it did not happen, which was very disappointing. ( last year was on 3rd floor, this year on the 2nd floor which didn’t have as great of views as the previous year ). But we understand that it can not always be, so we accepted, and still had an amazing time. Orlando was great through the week as well. He always checked on us when he saw us to see if there was anything he could do to make our stay more comfortable. The food was always great, with lots of options for us, as we are picky eaters. One of the greatest things about breakfast, is that we got to see Olivia again and hear that she was promoted within the resort. She is such an amazing asset to have. She always greeted us with a smile, and conversations about our families or ones that turned into having a laugh. We always looked forward to seeing her smiling face in the morning to get us going. During the day we mostly sat by the pool and engaged with the entertainment teams pool games ( I won 1st prize for the slogan game 😊 ) and 3pm volleyball. The music was upbeat and made the atmosphere inviting. Because of the games played and volleyball, we were able to meet some great pool friends that made lasting memories and some new friendships. As for the restaurants, we ate at Bayside, Perla, Kimonos, Sundowner and Barefoot Grill. No matter where we ate, it was always delicious. During our hibachi dinner, the gentleman who was cooking was entertaining and had us laughing while we ate, but also made some great food. Now for the MAIN REASON we enjoy and returned specifically to Sandals Negril….the entertainment group !! Enough cannot be said about Odane ,King James, Lady Skye, Lady Blue, Antonio, and Izzy. Their energy, voices, engagement with guests and their over all personalities are EXCEPTIONAL Without them there, I am not sure we would have returned. They treated us like family when we interacted with them. They made us laugh, get off our butts and move, and kept us going all week. The nights shows are a perfect end to the day, and we didn’t miss one again this year. We even won the Dating Game night !!! We were sorry to see that Lady Skye did not do the water show this year. Her voice is heavenly, from her soul and powerful and what made last years water show one that we will not forget. This years vocalist was just missing the same energy and talent that we saw in last years show, and it was a little lackluster. PLEASE PUT SKYE BACK ON FOR OUR NEXT YEARS VISIT !!!! Odane, Lady Skye and Antonio steal the show with their voices, while King James and Lady Blue dance with all of their heart and always puts 100% into what the have crafted with their talents. King James and Lady Blues moves, flexibility and choreography were mesmerizing. We are so ready to see what next years shows will be. The only complaints we had about our trip was about the service at the Perla for night time food ( 10pm – 6am ), the gentleman who was to be taking your order and the chef, were constantly seen walking from some other part of the resort or sitting up at the pizza place, rather than being onsite ready for customers. There were nights I had to wait 10 minutes just to have my order ( burger and fries ) taken and then another 20+ to receive the food, while being the only one there. Everyone I spoke with said the same thing about them seeming lazy and them having to constantly wait, due to the employees not being at the restaurant. Also at the swim-up bar, the people behind did not pay enough attention to the needs of the guests. We had multiple times through each day where you had to wave them down to get a drink because they were talking to each other or had no one at the bar. It kind of seemed like they just didn’t want to be there to help us. Again multiple people near us said the same thing about how hard it was to get a drink. With all this said, our 26th wedding anniversary was fun filled and a relaxing one, due to the staff. Always friendly smiles, good mornings, and hellos from all. Will we be going back for our 3rd trip……. 100% yes. Thank you Sandals and even a bigger THANK YOU to Odane, King James, Lady Skye, Lady Blue, Antonio, Izzy, Marlon, Olivia and Orlando for all that you do and did for us. With out you, it would not have been the same. WE LOVE YOU ALL and you will always be in our hearts and thoughts. ONE LOVE !! Read less

We have been traveling through the Caribbean and Mexico for 20 years and this was our first trip to a Sandals resort. We chose their Negril location and experienced the calmest water we have ever encountered. The food was very good, Crema was the spot to start and end our days. Any time we looked lost or confused, we were approached by a staff member to see if they could help. We especially liked that this was a smaller resort but still had plenty to do and always beaches chairs available. Read less
