Sandals Negril

We came for our 25th anniversary. The resort is very clean and the grounds are kept beautifully. The food was consistently excellent. And the entertainment was great every night. Everyone on the staff was super friendly. Special shout out to our butlers Dr. G and Orlando. They made a great trip even better. They covered everything we wanted and were not too intrusive when we wanted to keep to ourselves. it was like having 2 friends waiting for us when we arrived.

Our experience here was excellent. As noted, the sunsets in Negril are amazing. Our view of the ocean was amazing. The service from our Butlers, Damion and Basil, was great. The loyalty and Island Routes team were amazing. We enjoyed our entire week. The one difference with the locations outside of Montego Bay is the drive to the resort.

We just returned Saturday Oct 11th 2025 and Sandals Negril is an incredible experience! The resort property is beautiful, natural and very well maintained. This is our 4th Sandals visit (2xbahamas 1xbeaches negril) and the quality of service and food is outstanding and I think it’s why they have alot of returning guests. Special shoutout to Hudari(I think that was his name) that we met at arrival and helped us to our room, he was incredibly helpful and we got to see him Saturday when we left. All the resort staff is really nice and they do whatever they can to make sure you’re taken care of ! I would definitely recommend and would love to return to Sandals Negril, however am very eager to check out all the Sandals properties! Food is incredible especially at Brava, this is above average food for a resort as all the restaurants were, reservations were easy to get even the morning of the same day. Crema coffee was incredible and the girls worked hard to keep the wait time short. Pros: Property, staff, food, size of resort (smaller which is what we love) everything is outside (which is what we love) we only sat inside at Sundowner but had the option to sit outside. 7 mile beach incredible Caribbean night on the beach was incredible, excellent job with that Sandals! Cons: Make sure when booking you ask if your room has a balcony if it’s important to you, not all rooms have balconies which was very surprising to us. Drink service on the beach could have been more frequent, I think we only had drinks offered on the beach 2 days. Better jerk! We’ve been to Jamaica 8 times and would have loved to have a jerk hut or something a bit more legit then was offered at Perla. Not to say the one at Perla wasn’t good, it just didn’t seem as legit as we’ve had in Jamaica!

We thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon at Sandals. We booked a few excursions through the resort and had a great time. The food was lack luster but our service was always good. I’d say the food across the resort was 6/10. We also asked to move rooms due to construction and they moved us immediately and allowed us to check the room first before moving our belongings. We had a great time taking photos on the beach and along the walkways. And we would highly recommend the extra cost of a dinner on the beach. However, after we returned home and had purchased many photos, we could not access them. After a week of emails and a phone call to Epix, they refunded us for losing our photos. Precious memories gone. Devastating and heartbreaking. We still would stay again, but probably wouldn’t bother with photography. We would’ve taken more photos of ourselves there had we known. We recommend bringing some cash to tip drivers, staff, etc.

Sandals Negril is an amazing all inclusive resort for adults only. The beach is amazing, and they have rooms right in front of it. The sunset view is a strong reason for getting a room there. Food is good, slightly above all inclusive level. Entertainment is corny, but we didn't go there looking for it anyway. Rooms are nice, although a bit dated. They are renewing some of them, so it may be something they are addressing. There are great people working there. Andrea B., in the beachside restaurant, is one of them. The photographers are also all good and fun to work with. Special kudos to the diving shop team, I had a great time diving with them and getting my Advanced Open Water certification there (Emron is a very good instructor!). I hope to get back there, it's certainly worth coming back!

The Piano Bar at Sandals Negril was an absolute vibe! The bartenders took such great care of us — their service was excellent, and they were all so friendly and attentive. A special shoutout to Charelton, who went above and beyond to make sure our drinks were perfect and our experience unforgettable. His energy and professionalism truly stood out! The entire staff at this resort is amazing — always warm, welcoming, and ready to make you feel right at home. The entertainment was phenomenal and kept the nights full of laughter and fun. I wish there was a washer and dryer available for guests to do their own laundry prior to departing. Although, there is laundry services available for a cost. Thank you, Sandals Negril, for such an incredible trip. Jamaica owes us nothing ❤️ We can’t wait to come back!

Just got back from Sandals Negril. The resort is beautiful, and the entertainment team and many employees were friendly and helpful — they’re the only reason this stay wasn’t a total disaster. Management is completely missing. At full capacity or during weddings, issues aren’t resolved. Even restaurant bookings aren’t guaranteed when reserved a day before or the same day, and your reservation can be given to higher-tier guests. Room cleaning and bottled water only happen after repeated complaints, and if you don’t have a butler, you need to remind them every day to provide water or clean your room, it doesn’t happen automatically. This is not what should happen at a “luxury” 5-star hotel. On our departure day, they forced us onto a bus at 9:00 AM for a 2:30 PM flight, leaving us to wait 4.5 hours, even though the drive to the airport is only 45 minutes. Prices are high, service is inconsistent, and guest treatment varies by room tier. We weren’t invited to the members’ event, and honestly, I don’t plan to return. I’m sharing this to help future guests know what to expect, and I hope Sandals’ leadership takes notice and improves management and service. Save yourself disappointment, frustration and anger, chose different hotel

The resort was beautiful like all of sandals propeties are. Having been to numerous other locations, this one was small in comparison. The restaurants were good with a variety of options to choose from. The bar staff was one of the best. The wedding department was excellent as well, would highly recommend renewing your vows or getting married here. It was very peaceful as the resort was i heard about 60 percent full only. The entertainment was below par from other resorts, the best was a steel drum band from the outside they brought in. I would give the overall experience an 8 out of 10.
