We just stayed at Sandals Negril last week for 7 nights and just wanted to leave my review in case it helps others!! I’ll also attach some pics of some of the views and food😊 First off, this is our second stay at Sandals Negril and about 15th time to Jamaica. We stayed at Sandals Negril for our honeymoon two years ago and returned this year with my parents. We are Jamericans if you will. We LOVE Sandals Negril! The property is beautiful and it has the laid back Negril vibe. We stayed in the Beachfront club grande luxe room on the second floor and the view was stunning. We loved the food here. Our favorites were Perla Brava Sundowner! But we also had great meals at Bayside and Barefoot by the Sea. Highly recommend Barefoot by the sea for breakfast. We heard some guests complain about the food and quite honestly, I think they were just picky eaters. We are not picky eaters and love to try anything so we could find anything at all of the restaurants. We did not try Kimonos (because we have hibachi at home) and did not go to beaches because personally we did not want to be around kids on our vacation. Also, you have to go to crema everyday! They have the best coffees and pastries. The buffet lunch during Jamaica and pan Caribbean days is very good! Also the buffet on Thursdays prior to the Caribbean beach party is very good! Most importantly, the staff is 💯 My shout outs go to Marlon at the lobby bar, Annamarie at Barefoot by the Sea, Chantay at Perla, Chris at the Piano Bar, The crema girls especially Ashara and Brittany, and King James from entertainment! The staff was always so kind to us and always remembered our favorite things to order. My husband and I also did a couples massage at the spa and it was so relaxing. Highly recommend if you want a little break from the sun and just want to zen. For off the resort, I recommend fireman’s lobster and catcha falling star(beautiful views and property). I have one complaint about this resort, and it’s not about the resort. It’s about the crazy people who get up early to reserve beach chairs on vacation. And no, I am not speaking about the butler reserved chairs. I understand those who choose that room category get that perk. We never had an issue getting a chair but good lord people, it’s vacation so relax 😂 My opinion about resorts is your vacation is what you make it. So, if you complain all of the time, you’re gonna have a bad time. We love to return to Jamaica, enjoy the people and food, and just relax. Sandals Negril allowed us to do just that. Soon come Sandals Negril, soon come 🇯🇲🇯🇲 Read less

BLESSED AND AMAZING!!! That’s all you need to know. Staff, surroundings, atmosphere, facilities and food. Nothing can be described as average or even close, 10 STARS!!!!. My wife and I were there for our 30th anniversary. It was our best shared experience of all of our years together. Everyone made it so special. 7 mile beach is a paradise. The staff keeps you engaged and entertained. We had noon bingo at Perla lounge. We played volleyball in a pool full of bubbles. We took day trips. We parasailed. Snorkeled twice. Catamaran trip. Couples massage and went golfing. So much to do. Also many lazy hours on the beach just loving on each other. Atmosphere is romantic day or night. I enlisted the help of Jessica our concierge to plan our special night. She was wonderful. Candlelight dinner on the beach was beautiful. Kerron our photographer stayed with us for our special night and did an outstanding job of catching all our emotions through pictures. We had the pleasure of meeting 3 absolutely beautiful and wonderful women who worked at Perla and the main buffet. Miles of smiles from Shavel, Janelle and Chantay. Those 3 women made a big impact on us and made the trip even more special.Latoya from Island Routes was so kind, happy and helpful with helping us on our day trips or excursions. Stacy Ann and Princess did an amazing jobs with our couples massage. Truly a pleasurable experience! We also the opportunity to meet with Cion the Director of Sandals Negril. What an asset to Sandals! Her approach to her position and her perspective on how the guests are received and treated is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you to all of you at Sandals Negril!!! We fell in love with the “quiet” side of the island. Well done everyone and than you for being a blessing to us and making our special year perfect. John and Cindy. Read less
