Make sure you Aquacise with Kevon in the main pool. He is a ton of fun, makes the activity super interactive and not like working out at all. Sandals has a great asset in Kevon!

I just recently visited Sandals Negril for the third time in 4 years. I always purchase the Swim up Ocean View room with Butler Elite service. I normally have a great experience only this time was different. We also visited St Lucia so we've gone to a Sandals resort 4 years in a row. This year the resort was different and in various states of disrepair....especially in our room. Our room on this trip was so poorly maintained that the shower handle did not work, the water would not get hot and the shower water leaked under the wall into the toilet area. The a/c units both leaked directly into the room and the wifi and tv's just wouldn't work. Despite several attempts I was unable to get a response so no repairs were made. I was offered some token points for my trouble but those points still have not been awarded and the customer service group is not responding to any form of inquiry. Secondly, I also purchased an upcoming vacation for next year to another resort while there. Customarily when purchasing on site there is a 12% discount applied for the Butler Elite suites. This was never applied and exactly like the other issue I have been ignored after repeated discussions on property and several emails to customer service. I actually spoke to two different hotel managers who committed to getting this resolved before I left Negril.... This did not happen either. At this point since Sandals thinks so little of their clientele I must go to public reviews warning that the quality of care and customer service is completely unacceptable. I have now begun my search into other resorts and will cancel the vacations I have reserved for Dunn's River and Curacao in 2027. I have given Sandals ample opportunity and invested significant effort in getting this resolved. Read less

We were in Negril 2 weeks ago for a 12 day stay. We had a great time despite a few rain days. Surprisingly the resort did not show much in storm damage from the hurricane Melissa.

It was our first time back since the changes at the beach bar had been made. Leroy retired and a lovely woman has replaced him. Trevalyn is fabulous. She put a smile on our faces each day.

Wonderful resort in a beautiful location. I was expecting to love the area and the beach but the best part of the trip was the people. All of the staff, from managers, to bellhops, housekeepers, waitstaff, entertainers and bartenders. All of them make you feel like the most valued guest. They welcome you like family and treat you like friends. Odane is a choreographer there and he so enthusiastic and so friendly that you just want to be a part of the show. Everyone from Daniel greeting and welcoming us to the managers that stopped in to say hi. Ramario and Willis at the Piano bar, Fabian restocking our fridge. The wait staff at all the restaurants, especially Barefoot on the Beach. The guys with the water sports and sailboats were awesome as well. The ladies in the gift shop were so friendly and funny. The housekeeper was professional, friendly, and did a great job cleaning our room each day. The photographer, Willbe (spelling?), did a great job on our photo shoot. He was hilarious and put us at ease. But he cost us money. We had no choice but to purchase so many of the wonderful pictures he took. Honestly, everyone we interacted with in any capacity made our stay better. I know I'm forgetting people and I feel bad. If we are ever able to make it back, I'm bringing a notebook to write down everyone's name. They all deserve recognition for outstanding service! Such an amazing staff. What a wonderful group of people. It was an unbelievable experience. We felt welcomed and truly valued. The resort itself was classy and romantic. It was a first class experience. The food was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. We always found help quickly with any questions. There are tons of activities during the day and entertainment at night. You can join the party or take a romantic walk along the beach. The only things we experienced that were issues were weather related cancellations of trip add ons, but such is life. No one can control the weather. I have and will continue to highly recommend Sandals Negril to everyone I know. Read less
