Nice resort, good beach (not quite Cuba good) and great food. If you don't choose a ocean front room, you run the risk of the back side "garden view" rooms,(AKA highway side, road/parking lot view) as we unfortunately discovered. Tried to upgrade, but no luck. We aren't wired for bulter service and passed on it. From our viewpoint, you will have a… Read more

We aren't wired for bulter service and passed on it. From our viewpoint, you will have a great time without this, no offence, but dimeaning service. Lot's of activities to take advandtage of during the day. Sandals has perfected the business model of vacationing on their properties to the highest level. FYI Read less

There are lots of reviews where people have had butlers so thought it worth writing one as a couple who chose not to go this route. Loungers - we always found loungers on the beach.

There are lots of reviews where people have had butlers so thought it worth writing one as a couple who chose not to go this route. Loungers - we always found loungers on the beach. The ones by the sea were reserved by butlers but they are only 3 rows deep. In fact it meant that you weren’t troubled by the buskers or people selling jewellery and the like. There were beach servers regularly attending instead of your butler serving you. Big shout out to Janil for ‘cocktails of the day’ and looking after us. Lunch - we enjoyed having lunch away from the beach but you could always take it back there to eat if you wish. Butlers were delivering food direct to the loungers. Restaurants - we made all our restaurant bookings at the culinary bookings desk with no issues at all. All of the restaurants were first class snd you could even have lobster or fillet steak at the Sundowner. We are big ‘foodies’ and it made our holiday to visit different restaurants every evening without scrabbling over buffet food. Everyone had the same experience at the bars and evening entertainment. All the bar tenders were very friendly despite how busy they might be. The Sandals team are super friendly and always speak as they pass you by, no matter what their position. You really are made to feel very welcome, even without a butler 😉 Did we feel that we missed out on any way! Absolutely not, we had the best time and loved our first visit to a Sandals resort.

Located on the beach which is long but not as deep as photos suggest. I was disappointed in Sandals. Needs a lot of maintenance. Pools are small and the larger one was over crowded and noisy. Good luck securing a sunbed if you don't have butler service. We sat at the smaller pool and one server was good. The quality of the drinks was… Read more
Located on the beach which is long but not as deep as photos suggest. I was disappointed in Sandals. Needs a lot of maintenance. Pools are small and the larger one was over crowded and noisy. Good luck securing a sunbed if you don't have butler service. We sat at the smaller pool and one server was good. The quality of the drinks was lacking. Either too sweet or overloaded with alcohol really poor, inconsistent quality. Food was average although the staff very nice and housekeeping was good. We were overwhelmed by the amount of loud Americans - not for us. Read less

We just returned from another fantastic stay at Sandals Negril, and once again, it reminded us why we keep coming back year after year. The biggest reason is simple — the staff. They truly make this resort one of a kind. Our butlers, Orlando and Dr. G, went above and beyond to make every day special. Their attention to detail and genuine care never go unnoticed. A huge shoutout as well to Orlando Cocker at the pool cabanas — he is the BEST! If you’re considering booking a cabana for the day, do not hesitate. He takes such great care of guests and makes the experience unforgettable. The staff at the Tapas restaurant were incredible — every single one of them was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. And the food? Absolutely spectacular. It continues to be our favorite restaurant at the resort. Keron from photography always captures the best moments and somehow makes every photo session feel comfortable and fun. He truly makes you feel right at home. My wife especially loved the pool aerobics this year and thought the instructor did a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged and having fun. At the end of the day, it’s the people at Sandals Negril that keep us coming back. The service, friendliness, and personal connections make every visit feel like coming home. Read less
