We found Legends to be a great, intimate hotel - with a prime location, in the heart of Negrils spectacular 12-Mile Beach! The rooms were pretty basic (with a shower - no tub), but the small complex, itself, was loaded with beautiful foliage, singing birds, a wonderful, friendly and helpful staff, and a balcony or lanai off each room. When booking, pay the little extra for a "beachfront" rather than "garden" room - since the garden side of the complex is across the street (and a busy street, at that!) Following other online reviews, we neither paid for the all-inclusive option nor ate one meal at their restaurant - finding a host of other options within a short walk - like Selena's outdoor coffeehouse for breakfast and lunch, or the inexpensive nearby Bourbon Beach for some of the best jerk chicken in town. The beach and water at Legends is beautiful, and we'll definitely be going there again!

we went to this hotel for 2 weeks beginning 31 dec 07. we went due to it been sons 21st, myself, partner, son and friend. My son and friend are true vegan and they found they could eat really well in the hotel, myself and partner found the food, cooked really nice but each and everyday was the same thing. The hotel was very basic, but very family oriented, the staff was extremely nice. My son and friend had a absolutely brill time especially in ricks cafe which was near by. Been the age they are they are party animals, and while it was a truly relaxing place for us, they partied well and we all felt safe, the hotel was connected to its own beach, and all the happenings were on the beach until early hours. The thing that was a nuisance was a road ran in middle of the hotel as the hotel was split in two and the road was extremely busy, there was always security on it and they made sure you crossed with them. We found it was just what we wanted for the price we paid. A budget hotel.

Returned to Legends for our 3rd stay and awesome as always.

The people in this resort are awesomely friendly . The rooms are clean and beach security always make you feel safe you can walk off and leave your things and never have to worry about it being stolen Micheal and Orett keep an eye on eveything even though you may not even realize that they are even doing it.
The food to us is good but remember you're in a foriegn country so its not like a 5 star like in the US, but its good and if you have a problem Mama will take care of you. And make something you'll enjoy if you tell her. The lobster is awesome off the menu
you pay for it its not part of the inclusive but for what you get for the price you'll never get in the states for that. And if the sand gets old then you can go to Samsara, beautiful in the cliffs and you can still use you're inclusive rights there also. So you get two resorts to play at beach/cliffs couldn't ask for more. in Negril We also seen dolphins at Samsara
The Resorts are Great
You feel more like you're in Jamaica in the small resorts. the people sing they dance behind the bar and make you feel Welcome to Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once you go you'll know

We just returned from our first trip to Jamaica where we stayed at Legends Beach Resort for 7 wonderful nights. The rooms were as expected and we found them to be clean and a good value for the price. As others noted, we also noticed towels were gone during the day, however this didn't interfere with our showering in the morning or before supper each evening.

We were not disappointed in the food and were able to experience many of the local favorites such as curried goat, jerk chicken, mackerel, and conch. Particulary enjoyed the variety of breakfast fruits and vegetables served with every meal. It was nice to be at a smaller resort where the staff become familiar with your request for coffee or tea with breakfast and could tell us if other members or our party had eaten yet.

Can't say enough good things about the staff. They were always willing to answer our questions and shared information about the culture, sites to see and things to do. We felt very safe and took comfort in knowing they were watching out for us. We walked the beach almost everyday and it was interesting and fun to get to interact with the locals!

Even though the resort is away from the airport, the 7 miles of sandy beach cannot be beaten. The taxi drivers were also very fun to visit with and shared lots of information with us on Jamaica as we were being transported.

Extra bonus in getting to go the cliffs for diving and swimming at the sister resort Samsara! Sunsets were gorgeous! Knowing we plan to go back is helping get us thru the cold ND winter....
