I stayed at this hotel for 6 days in February. Upon the recommendation of a friend, I booked this hotel. It was cold and snowing in the northeast and I yearned for warmer temperatures but I had to remain on a budget. This hotel was impressive especially for the price about $95 USD per night for a superior room. It is located steps from the beach. The decor is warm and open that allows for the free movement of tropical breezes throughout the hotel. The staff was friendly and respectful. I had the opportunity to meet the owner who demands the best from his employees. The hotel rooms are clean and welcoming. There is a spa that provides facials, manicures, pedicures, massages (try the foot detox $20 USD). The pool was small but it was cleaned every day. I ate from the breakfast buffet ($6-10 USD) every morning with a choice of traditional or local cuisine (try the salt fish and acee). All tours and taxi service can be booked from the hotel (take the YS Falls/Rum Factory/ Black River tour (all day for $70 USD with food included). The hotel is currently under some renovation. The installation of a new staircase and fitness center were in progress. I would strong recommend this hotel if you want somewhere clean, safe and welcoming. I had a great time and hope you do also.

I discovered Travellers Beach Resort web surfing. Looking for a low budget Christmas vacation in Jamaica, I found Travellers Beach Resort's rates very much to my liking - US 60 dollars per night. I stayed for 7 days and enjoyed each one. Travellers Beach Resort I deem a 2 star accomodation, but the service is 4 star. The resort has villa style rooms with 2 person per room occupancy limit. That means one rate for 2 people. Additional persons are US 25 dollars extra per person. Rooms do have an air conditioner. I had no phone in my room. A small television with remote, kitchenette, small shower is included. And you use a metal key - yes a metal key! No annoying key cards that may lose their charge! The hotel staff - front desk, housekeepers, bar staff and cooks, maintenance, and management are all warm and personable. Travellers Beach Resort has a decent bar and restuarant. During the week days and Saturday, breakfast, lunch and supper are a la carte menu of the day. Sundays, they may offer a buffet style brunch. If you staying during a local holiday or Easter, Christmas, etc. the cooks will serve a brunch buffet during that holiday. The beach area is well maintained. One major advantage staying at this accomodation is the 5 minute walk the Negril City Center. Unless your're planning to buy loads of souveniers or its too sunny and hot, you really don't need a Taxi. The resort does not have a gym, but a neighborhood gym is just a minute walk north on Norman Manley Blvd. The gym's equipment not state of the art, but decent. I'll be more than happy to enlighten anyone who needs further information on Travellers Beach Resort and the city of Negril. Have a fun trip!

Dilapidated dump—STAY AWAY! Beat up rooms, disgusting bathrooms, old nasty beds, scary pillows, gross-gross-gross towels and washcloths (bring you own if you are crazy enough to still book reservations at Traveller’s), non-working televisions, no phones in the room, horrible food, lousy security, dirty old men roaming the grounds harassing women, stray cats ( and other unidentifiable furry four legged creatures), horrible location on the beach, false advertisement—you name it. Traveller’s Beach Resort—what a joke!

I stayed here in a room with 2 double beds for 8 days over the 2006 Christmas holiday.

First the positives: Beautiful grounds (very picturesque), decent restaurant in terms of food, wonderful location on beach (it's right on the beach even if the rooms aren't), nice lobby (if a bit creepy), nice breakfast buffet; decent bathroom with great water pressure (at least mine was - I saw another one that was just completely unacceptable)

Now for the negatives: No phones in rooms (therefore, no room service; even though they advertise room service); very noisy - you can hear ALLof the hallway traffic and conversation (so if you are a light sleeper (which I'm not), then you will be miserable here); terrible restaurant service (you have to constantly ask for things like water over and over again); they ration the breakfast buffet, bed bugs (MANY of THEM!!); horrible mattresses (comfortable, but raggedy, raggedy, raggedy - I wouldn't let my cats sleep on them- they should have been thrown in the trash); the hotel offers NOTHING in the way of entertainment (as they advertise); the pool bar was empty 95% of the time and there was never a bartender there; TV would not work (when TV was working, staff stole the TV remote batteries to use in other people's rooms); the cheapest and most worn-out and ridiculously used linen and spreads you can imagine - I'm sure homeless shelters have better quality bedding (trust me- I'm not kidding!); the hotel scams you with arranging for your taxi rides (I think they get a cut for each taxi they ride they arrange; you can get your own for way cheaper- just look for the red license plates - they're all around!); I could go on but you get the point. I felt so disgusted and disgusting being there, but I could not switch hotels because everything was booked. I was so willing to take the huge financial hit in order to salvage my vacation. If anyone writes a positive review I KNOW they are lying. I consulted TripAdvisor before booking my trip and feel very deceived by the false reviews for this hotel. They have a guest book in their lobby that is filled with raving reviews that HAD to be fabricated. Unless you are from a third world country, you would HAVE to expect better than what this so-called hotel had to offer.

Negril was great, but Travellers Beach Resort was a nightmare. My friends stayed in the bungalows at Travellers Beach Resort and my room looked like a palace compared to theirs.

In case you are wondering, I'm no prima dona, but I definitely have minimum expectations for any place where I am to lay my head. And all I can say is that this was SO far beneath anything I could conceive of.
