After thinking my husband and I had booked a holiday of a lifetime through Virgin Holidays, boy I was wrong. We arrived on Monday 13th October after a traumatic bus journey to a very poor welcome. We were told to fill out a form on their iPad and then shown to our room and that was it. No welcome drink or shown around. We arrived at 8pm. The serving staff were grumpy especially in the Bayside restaurant and the bar just inside the pool area. We stayed for 10 days and we only got 3 chances to eat in the 3 bookable restaurants included. The Bayside food in the evening wasn’t great and the walk in Mexican restaurant lost our order twice, very unorganised. The entertainment I’ve seen better at Butlins. The aqua activities were very lazy and unhelpful. No help in getting back in with the boat being 5 metres from the shore. One couple got stranded for an hour and a half out to see and they didn’t even notice. Luckily some locals helped them and rang the hotel saying your guests were in trouble. All other guests also unhappy that we spoke to saying it’s the worse Sandals they’d ever stayed in. We had nothing to compare it to but never going to a Sandals again. Definitely not worth the money. Lovely beach but again no service at all. Had to keep going to pool bar and queue for drinks. Room was missing a robe that they brought 3 days later. Coffee and lagers not replaced regularly in mini bar. No WiFi in room for 2 days. Read less

Chris (Charlton?) at the piano bar made it an amazing experience. He was so friendly and helpful. He recommended some amazing drinks. My wife’s new favorite is the Jamaican Smile. I couldn’t remember the name, but he remembered my wife from the day before and told me the drink she loved. How amazing is that?! We will be back. Read less

Hurricane and all, this place is amazing. We were looking for a place to celebrate 20 yrs of marriage and we weren’t disappointed. As an added note, Trevolyn is the most amazing employee. She is kind, attentive and made sure our trip was everything we dreamed it could be.

Sandals Negril is the absolute best. The beach, activities, and drinks are all incredible. The staff took wonderful care of us and always made sure we had everything we need. King James always made sure we were having fun and kept the party alive. He was the absolute man!
