I just returned from Beaches Negril with my parents. While I was there I turned 29. I chose Beaches because my parents have been to Sandals Negril before and loved it, but unfortunately we couldn't go there because it's for couples only.

Beaches Negril is a great place for families. All the children that I saw seemed to be having the time of their life! We even saw kids crying when there parents picked them up from the kids camp because they wanted to stay with the Beaches staff. What's also nice is there's two pools so most of the kids tend to be over by the waterslides and the kids pool. I would definately take my niece and nephew here.

As far as the service goes I was a little dissapointed. I usually travel to Cancun and stay at the Palace resorts who treat me like royalty. Here you still are treated above average but I expected more for the money we spent to stay there. Many of the people who worked there didn't seem happy. But would you if you weren't aloud to accept tips for your hard work and you hardly got paid anything in the first place while everyone being spoiled and getting whatever they want! We should all feel lucky for the life we have back at home even though it can be stressful at times.

Some of the staff to look out for would be bartenders Renato and Clifton. Renato has to be the funniest guy in the place and Clifton is the one who always has a smile on his face! Revon, Ned, and Adrian all seemed like good guys too. Then there's Nashville, he works at a couple of the restaurants, he goes out of his way to know the guests. Michael from the spa is great. Our housekeeper was even a sweetheart and she's worked at the hotel for 10 years! But most importantly you should definately take advantage of the sunset photography session with Eaton. (You can request him) He's a sweetheart and the photos that he can capure are amazing and a great keepsake of the trip!

A couple of tips: mesquitos are very bad there so either take OFF with you or you can buy it in the gift shop, the Japanese restaurant has the best food and service but you need to call first thing in the morning the day before for reservations, the beds are the most UNCOMFORTABLE beds (you sometimes can feel the springs and they make a lot of noise any time you move), it's a waste to order the birthday cakes there because they tend to be very dry and the price is ridiculous for what you get, don't waste your money on the palm reader, make sure you go to the beach party and check to see what night it will be, and also take plain white t-shirts with you if you want to do tie-dye otherwise you have to buy them in the store.

Overall I would love to go back, especially if I had kids with me to enjoy all the activities. This wasn't the best place for my age group but I still had a relaxing and wonderful vacation for 11 days!

3/3 found this review helpful

Just spent a wonderful week at the beautiful Beaches Negril resort. We were fortunate to have great weather. All-inclusive is definitely the way to vacation ie., no worries, just enjoy yourselves. The staff and service was excellent. Everyone is so friendly, always smiling and happy. A great resort for families...activities for all age groups including those difficult teenagers. Our 8 year old had a blast. The water park has two awesome slides and a lazy river. The food and dining was above average too with a good selection. A plus was being able to dine at the close by Beaches Sandy Bay resort for free. So much to do or do nothing but relax if you choose. Rooms were average but the resort was just so much fun. Take your sunblock and lots of mosquito repellent. We were prepared! Irie. DDBGTGI

Came home with horrible bed bug bites. Disappointed in the service, facility, and food. Been to Beaches Boscobel two years ago and found it to be much better as far as entertainment, food, and service. Will not go back to Beaches Negril!

6/6 found this review helpful

We stayed 5 days and 4 nights at Beaches Negril and enjoyed every minute of it, the only problem we had is we wished we could have stayed 5 more!!!! The rooms were immaculate and the staff was GREAT!!! It seemed as if the staff (or anyone for that matter) could not do enough for you, they were soooo accomodating. The food and entertainment was wonderful, not to mention the pool and the watersports....I could go on and on. My husband and I have visited Sandals Resorts twice now, and highly recommend them, you won't find better service or ammenties at any other resort. If you have not been, you won't be disappointed....and if you are looking to book a trip with Sandals or Beaches, don't hesitate or wonder, go with confidence and exictement.......I GIVE BEACHES AND SANDALS AT THE VERY MINIMUM 5 STARS AND IF IT WERE POSSIBLE I WOULD GIVE THEM 10 PLATINUM STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“The Holiday Nightmare”

Beaches Negril

16 Apr 2008
1/6 found this review helpful

Just got back from 17 nights of misery. We only booked this hotel as we have stayed at Beaches at Turks & Caicos and Beaches Ochio Rios and thought this would be as good. Big Mistake!!!
The kids club excluded our 2 year old due a skin condition, in fact if your child even has a cold they will be banned and only allowed back after you have paid $120 to the doctor for the OK.

Service was generally very slow & with resentment. Very few sunbeds around the pools, I would guess maybe only 60.

My 9 year old daughter went to the kids club and was almost killed by their negligence when they allowed her on the bannana boat. despite a driver and a lookout on the boat she was thrown off and not recovered. The kids club's supervisers were not even watching nor were the 5 lifeguards. Only a diligent guest spotted her and saved her from drowning.

The kids club had lots of activities including a "scavanger hunt" which the 1st item to find was a used diaper!!!!!!

Having previously visited the caribbean 7 times the evening entertainment was the worst we have ever seen. It was fragmented and cheap.

If you do go, please beware of the Last chance Saloon as it may well be your last chance due the inhabitants that you share the restaurant with. We saw running around the floor giant cockroaches and the food was a health disaster waiting to happen.

Worst holiday we have ever had. If you have any standards go somewhere else. This is just the tip of the iceberg, if you want more details please email me.
