The sunsets are amazing! The whole resort has been wonderful and we cant wait to come back. The only thing better than the sunsets is the staff. Everyone is outstanding, one of the best has always been Chris (piano bar).
Image of the Tripadvisor rating It was fine but the Sandals experience is starting to downgrade.

This property has a great beach and Negril is a fun and lively place. The Scuba diving is good on this part of the Island. I also recommend a trip to Rick's cafe.

This property has a great beach and Negril is a fun and lively place. The Scuba diving is good on this part of the Island. I also recommend a trip to Rick's cafe. You should take a cab and stay longer than what the "tours" allow you to stay there. It's fun watching the different groups come in and out over a few hours. With Regards to Sandals, I am a Diamond member but have seen a deterioration of the guest experience over my last few trips. -Arrival Lounge used to have snacks and desserts that were prepared freshly at one of the MOBAY properties. It is now just pre packaged chips and snacks. Basically vending machine fare. -Waited 4 hours for our room. We were a split stay and scheduled our transfer with Sandals to be in the afternoon. They sent us to eat and then we never heard anything again. We were told the "GINA" app was down. I had messaged several times for updates. Finally on my 3rd trip to the front desk they had our room. -Our room fridge did not work. They were notified on check in and the fridge was never operable. Sandals is singlehandedly increasing the competition for my vacation dollars. The increase in prices and the lowering of the overall experience is bringing many other options into play for me. I've got a couple more booked but may just eat the deposit and try some new things for awhile. I'll revisit my thoughts in a few months but the last few trips I have had to raise too many issues with my stays. Read less

Just came home from our honeymoon at Sandals Negril and it was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The food and service was spectacular. My husband and I are foodies and we didn’t have one meal we didn’t like. Special shout out to Marlon at the piano bar. He truly made it so special for my husband and I. We went back each night just to be able to see him. We were bummed that our last night there we weren’t able to see him. “Sista from another mista!” Dillion at the swim up bar was fantastic too!! Big papa and his crew on the private boat tours is a must do. He was so much fun and we had an amazing time going to the caves and ricks. The beach and grounds were so well maintained we were shocked. The only downfall of our trip was our room was right next to the main pool facing the road so was really noisy at 6am daily. So if you’re a light sleeper stay away from Caribbean Luxury honeymoon room. Overall an amazing stay. We will be back for sure! Read less

Amazing people! Quan, Sasha, Madonna and the entire team are just outstanding. We had 22 people in our group and can describe how great the staff there was. They made sure everyone was happy and was not in need of anything. The entertainment team is just unbelievable. Everyone there was just amazing and friendly.

Have just got back from an absolutely mind blowing 10 days away. This place is truly amazing from the first impression to the last memory. The rooms are extremely comfortable and while some have said old fashioned, I would have to disagree. Yes there’s lots of dark wood but this didn’t bother us at all. The room is very clean and the pillows are to die for and the bed is very nice indeed! The main pool area is immaculate and the pool while not the biggest is more than adequate for the size of the property and I didn’t have the rush for the sunbed which was perfect. The butlers do reserve a lot of the beds but we didn’t have a butler and didn’t have an issue. The pool is vibrant and there’s music and activities all through the day which we liked but if you prefer a quieter vibe they also have another pool away from the hustle and bustle. Restaurants and food we found very tasty indeed and well organised. Making reservations for the sundowner, kimonos and brava were not a problem and always got in. Kimonos and Brava were our favourites. The food was of a very high quality and Kimonos was a show in itself. The other restaurants you didn’t need to book for so there is a lot of options even for the most picky of eaters. In the morning we ate at barefoot by the sea as it was peaceful listening to the waves but if I had to be super picky you do wait quite a while but we didn’t have anywhere to rush off to so honestly didn’t mind. The beach was nice but not the best beach we’ve ever been on. The bars are extremely well stocked with branded spirits and all the bar staff will make what you want. Only thing they don’t stock is flavoured gins which would have been perfect! We celebrated my birthday on our last day and we opted for a candlelit dinner on the beach which was the absolute icing on the cake. Well worth the money if you are celebrating a special occasion. What sets this place apart from ANYWHERE I have ever been is the truly exceptional staff. They are so welcoming and charming and nothing is too much trouble. My husband and I were blown away by their hospitality and that would be one of the main reasons we will definitely be returning!! I especially want to give a special mention to Orlando and Miguel who are wise beyond their years and their chats will stay with me for many years. I felt honoured to be able to listen to their philosophy on life and humbled by their outlook on the world we live in. Also a big big thank you to O’Neil for our photoshoot which normally I hate doing but he was charming and put me at ease and we had a great laugh. Finally a mention to Andre and Dillon at the bar for keeping us topped up throughout the day, Roynon for his hilarious singing at kimonos, Chevy for the entertainment along with Miss Blue! I could go on but there’s just too many wonderful people to mention!! Sandals management your staff are an absolute credit to you so please cherish them because they deserve the world!! Read less
