I have always heard about Sandals experience and always been curious about the Sandals experience, but it wasn't until this year that I finally got to try it out for myself. My husband's annual bike ride from Kingston to Negril was the perfect opportunity to indulge in some well-deserved rest and relaxation and have my own experience. While the check-in process was smooth, I did notice that we didn't receive any welcome drinks. However, our dinner at the barefoot restaurant on the first night was excellent, with top-notch service from our server. One thing that did strike me as odd was the lack of locals on the property. In fact, one staff member asked me if I worked for Sandals, which I found quite amusing. Thankfully, Andre B came to our rescue on the second day, ensuring that we received the attention and service we deserved. The bartenders at the swim-up bars were also fantastic, and I must say that Andre B's exceptional service is the reason we'll be returning to Sandals Negril. Big up to her for showing us locals some love - it's clear that she's passionate about providing top-notch service to all guests, regardless of their background! I forgot to mentioned that my booking process was excellent . I booked through the hotel and my reservation agent displayed excellent customer service and made sure got the best deal available.

This was my husband & my first trip together to Jamaica. We were celebrating 20 years as a couple, and 7 years married. We have been to other Sandals resorts in the past. We loved our time in Negril. The shuttle from the airport is 90 minutes, and while there were lots of bumpy roads, the driver did his best to make it a smooth ride. The highway is also seaside so there’s some beautiful sights to see while you make your way to the resort. Butler Orlando C. whom served us during a day-long cabana rental was incredible. He made sure we had everything we needed (food & drinks & recommendations) to have a perfect day. He also remembered us and would greet us when seeing us around the resort for days after our cabana rental had ended, which really made us feel special. Photographers Vandame & Oneil also stood out as incredibly friendly, funny, and passionate about capturing memories that we could take home with us. We were blown away by the amount of water sports included in our stay. We tried sailing a hobie for the first time. We also took a tube ride on the “Big Mable” which was thrilling and had us smiling & laughing for an hour afterwards. For the most part, the staff always greeted us and were friendly. There were occasionally staff (mostly at the restaurants) that did not seem thrilled to be there, but they did not dampen our good time. The drinks were great and the food was good. Most of the restaurants served similar dishes, but they had some local flavors that were fun to try. Of the 7 restaurants we tried, Brava stood out as exceptionally tasty and with a great variety of tapas. Crema staff were also very kind, and the coffee drinks were how we started and ended each day. It was never hard for us to grab chairs by the beach, but we did wake up early (before 8am) to “claim them” with our stuff. The beach is gorgeous and perfect for swimming, relaxing, or snorkeling. We saw lots of wildlife including corals, sea urchins, rays, tropical fish, and starfish. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. There are several locals that walk the beach through the day to sell their wares, offer braids, massages, or play music. For the most part they are unobtrusive, but occasionally they could be a bit demanding (I saw several request beers or waters from the coolers of clients that had butlers). I also saw three locals make a comment about a female guest which instigated a verbal altercation with her partner (the guest definitely escalated things more than the locals), and that was very off-putting. It’s also important to note that the staff, while responsive & friendly, are on “island time” and do not necessarily move with the sense of urgency that someone from the USA may be used to. This is not a negative, but worth mentioning because everything from food, to room service, to housekeeping, to room restocking takes about twice the time we would guess it should. But you’re at a resort relaxing so there is no reason to rush things anyway, I suppose. At times things we asked for did not get done (restocking fridge with water, luggage pickup for checkout), but we were not terribly bothered by this. We will look back on this time fondly and made great memories at a beautiful place! Negril is well-worth the trip. Read less
