This us our third visit to a sandals and the first visit to Jamaica. I would say over all Negril ticked all the boxes. But there is definitely room for improvement. Firstly I would say the housekeeping. We had to ask for turn down. Which was not always done. ( I like to come back to a fresh bed) We requested laundry and it took 4 calls and two days to get picked up We stayed in the paradise beach front ( which were lovely rooms) 5250 has a big tree blocking the view Food choices were good we enjoyed all the food. Entertainment we didn’t really get to see due to us having later meal times. We also loved walking to beaches in the morning and spending the day there. You can either get a taxi back or as we did go the speed boat to take us back:) The negatives were few. But sun beds were a big issue! There’s not enough umbrellas for the amount of people. The beds are practical gone by 8am. And it seemed the same people got the best beds daily 🥴 And it wasn’t a case of them getting up early! I think more case of who you knew ££££££ The hotel was overall good. The lack of beach since the hurricane has a major effect on your stay. But not enough to not go. We booked all our trips and transfers through kingleys tours prior to arriving! Use local people!!!! Pleased to visit Benta falls and Pelican Bar Read less

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Sandals Negril. It was absolutely beautiful, water was so clear and the land is absolutely beautiful. There was so much to do on the resort and off. We went horse back riding in the ocean which was amazing, we raced ATVS through the woods and we took a tour of the culture of the land. Look for Mr. P (culture and animal expert) and Roger (horse guide,spear fisher and local herbal specialist) all this was found at Jamwest. The staff was amazing, with a lively enthusiasm all of their own. Their always smiling and doing everything they can to make your stay as best as possible. A special shout out to O'Neil our on site photographer, he captured some amazing moments and took his time to make sure he got every shot. If anyone is planing to stay I'd ask for him personally. We couldn't of picked a better place to spend out honeymoon. Read less

After arriving at the reception at about 23:00, there was music blasting from the area where the Bay restaurant is. The lad on reception wasn't able to offer a quiter place to complete the arrival form, totally not a great start. To make it worse, there was only 2 couples in the area, while the DJ was looking at his phone oblivious. We were shown our room and it was very nice, hard to gauge the view as it was very dark, but the morning came and show it was lovely to see a great view. The main restaurant was ''The Bay'' which is open for breakfast, dinner & tea, buffet style for breakfast & dinner, service for teatime. Plenty of choice, but could do with a spruce up as it's looking a bit worse for wear. One issue for me in this area, there were people walking through this area dripping water, as this is a tiled area it makes it a danger to others. Our room developed a water leak in the roof after a huge deluge, we had to move out. Management said they'd see us in a couple of days, to see if the room was good for us, it wasn't & Management never came back to us. Later another Management member we came upon asked if we were enjoying our stay? I replied with comments about the replacement room not being as good etc, she replied, she would look into our issues. She didn't. There were a few other issues, with workman erecting scaffolding at night, cigarette smoke rising from the smoking area as well as raised voices at night. Returning vip members seemingly having preference over other guests, ie restaurant closed to us but open to vip's. Management have corresponded with us, but basically not really addressed our concerns. They offered us a free 3 night stay, but we wouldn't demeen ourselves into giving Sandals anymore of our money. I will finish by saying the staff themselves were very good and helpful. Read less
