Sandals Resorts is a family-owned, leading operator of luxury, all-adult, all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, specializing in romantic, couples-only getaways across some of the region's most stunning beaches.
Known for pioneering and perfecting the Luxury Included® experience, the brand has offered an unparalleled level of inclusions for over forty years, from gourmet dining at multiple specialty restaurants and unlimited premium spirits to an extensive array of land and water sports, including complimentary scuba diving for certified guests.
Sandals Resorts operates a total of 17 resorts across 8 Caribbean islands: Jamaica (7), Saint Lucia (3), Barbados (2), The Bahamas, Antigua, Grenada, Curaçao, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa is famous for its relaxed, barefoot-chic atmosphere and its prime location on the legendary Seven Mile Beach. The resort is specifically designed to hug the water's edge, placing nearly every room and amenity just steps from the pristine white sand and calm, turquoise waters. Sandals is a two-hour complimentary transfer from MBJ or a twenty-minute flight from MBJ to Negril Aerodrome, 0.5 miles from Sandals.
Sandals Negril features luxurious suite options, including beachfront walkouts, unique Swim-up Suites with direct pool access, and extravagant Skypool Suites, which feature panoramic views, spacious living and dining room areas, elevated infinity plunge pools, and rooftop terraces. Butler Elite and Club Concierge services are available in higher-tier suites.
One of Sandals' strengths is the availability of motorized and non-motorized water sports included in the Luxury Included® experience, including waterskiing, wakeboarding, glass-bottom boating, aquatrikes, windsurfing, and scuba diving. Other amenities include the Red Lane® Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and top-tier daily and nightly entertainment.
My husband and I stayed at Sandals Negril and attended an intimate on-site destination wedding. The gazebo was a beautiful location for the ceremony, and the Sandals team provided worry-free customer service for the wedding party.
The on-site restaurant options include
Bayside (Day Buffet, Mediterranean dinner)
Sundowner (Caribbean)
Kimonos (Japanese)
Barefoot by the Sea (Seafood)
Bella Napoli (Pizza)—and very tasty pizza!
Brava (Tapas)
Perla (Latin)
Crema (Café)
The food was solid, but not as memorable as the food experiences I have had at other all-inclusives.
