Our wedding at this resort was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine kindness. A very special thank-you to our wedding consultant, Sandia, who was absolutely incredible. Her organization, communication, and calm presence made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. She anticipated our needs, handled every detail flawlessly, and ensured our wedding day was even more beautiful than we imagined. The spa team was also phenomenal. They did an amazing job with my wedding hair and makeup, making me feel confident, beautiful, and completely relaxed on such an important day. The spa experience was top-notch and truly added to the magic of our wedding. We also cannot say enough about our butlers, Dr. G and Orlando, who made our entire trip unforgettable. Their attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and warm personalities made us feel completely taken care of and added so many special touches throughout our stay. We will forever cherish the memories created thanks to this incredible team. Read less

Amazing! This resort was exactly as advertised and we can't wait to go back. Every staff member that we interacted with was pleasant, the food was delicious, the rooms and common areas were clean, and it was just an amazing experience. The resort has more of a relaxed vibe which was perfect for my husband & I as that is our vibe. We spent the day lounging on the beach chairs or out in the beautiful blue water. There was also a variety of activities going on throughout the day if that is your thing. Definitely recommend going on the Caterman excursion that takes you to Rick's Cafe and to Margaretville. The boat ride was beautiful and it was a fun chance to see some of the coastline. Don't hesitate to utilize the included shuttle as it was so convenient. We weren't even in the Sandals lounge 10 minutes before we were being loaded up on our bus for the ride to the resort. Definitely recommend using Club Mobay to expedite your airport experience as well. Read less

Sandals properties deliver all they promise and then some! Negril is the 6th Sandals resort we’ve visited and we’ve enjoyed every stay! Adding a butler further enhances the stay, worth every penny to us.

We are seasoned Sandals visitors and have traveled to mostly all of the resorts within the brand. We had been to Jamaica several times but never stayed at Sandals Montego Bay and that is where we had originally planned until the Hurricane changed our plans. With flights already booked and resort already paid we decided to switch to Negril even though we had been 5 years ago. The resort has changed since our last stay with new restaurants and new rooms or we did not notice during our last stay. We elected the private transfer and it was smooth and effortless. The ride time was less than 90 minutes. The ride cost included private luxury to include snacks and drinks but there were no snacks, just bottled water. Was not a deal breaker but wanted to mention as this was not the case on the return trip. There was a snack tray there but we did not eat it. Arrival was a little wait as we waited with another couple for our butler which we shared. He took us to lunch and came back to get us once our rooms were ready. We had a brief tour of the resort and the room and our vacation started. I can honestly say that this is a small resort and very laid back. If you are looking for the party vibe this is not the place for you. There are activities but not hopping all day and all night. I found that this resort had a much older crowd and that was okay for us as we were there for a little fun and relaxation which we definitely got. The room was beautiful and centrally located. We stayed in the 2-story one bedroom in the Longshore building. The room was spacious and had all of our requests. The view was spectacular and we loved sitting on the balcony outside the bedroom watching the sunset. The only suggestion that I would have to make that room perfect would be to have a half-bathroom downstairs. Other than that we were happy with it. The main pool was freezing so I did not get in but the beach water temperature was perfect so we did spend a couple of days there. The pool had a few activities that we enjoyed and participated in. The playmakers did their best to keep the crown entertained but most just wanted to relax and read or enjoy the sun. I loved all of the playmakers and they did a great job both day and night especially New Year’s Eve. They put on a fabulous show. The food and decorations were amazing and we truly enjoyed ourselves. One playmaker that needs to be recognized is King James. He always had a smile on his face and was always so pleasant. Remembered our names from day one and always took time to speak to us and see how we were doing. He is very talented and I can see him going far in his future endeavors. Butler service was exceptional and I can honestly say that these were two of the best butlers that we have had. We did not have to call them for anything. They were there when we needed and always coming with drinks or snacks without us even asking. We truly loved Dr G and Orlando and would recommend them to anyone staying there. You will not be disappointed. It was great to meet them and they definitely took good care of us and made my birthday extra special. Orlando went out of his way to decorate my pool chair and the room was beautiful when we returned complete with a hot bath waiting. I was so impressed and happy. He did all that and he was the only butler on duty that day too. Kudos to Dr G and Orlando -best butlers Sandals Negril. The food was okay. We did not care for the food at the restaurant Brava as that was just not to our liking. Bayside was good and had a variety of food for breakfast and lunch. We were greeted by Rochelle and we became friends throughout our entire stay. She remembered our names and made sure to speak each time she saw us and make sure we did not need anything. She even remembered my birthday and had the entire pool sing happy birthday to me that morning. I just love her. Barefoot was also good with an exceptional server Tovia who we got to know and enjoyed sharing her stories with us. The best restaurant was Sundowners. We went there on our last night and honestly we could have had that restaurant every day. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding. Kudos to Michelle, our server who was so helpful and pleasant and always addressed us by our names which I felt was special. We ran into Keyvon the photographer again and he immediately recognized us as we met him in Barbados and saw him here on our last stay. Of course we had him take our pictures and bought them again. He is a great photographer with a great bubbly personality and for him to remember us made us feel special. Glad to see he is still doing what he loves and doing it well. Overall we enjoyed Sandals Negril and enjoyed our stay here. Read less
