Our least favorite Sandals property... I am a HUGE Sandals fan and honestly most of the time I cannot stop raving about how great the experience usually is. Unfortunately, this trip was not the case. We've been on 8 trips to different Sandals resorts in Jamaica but this was our first trip to Negril. The ride there from Montego Bay was BRUTAL. The roads are very rough and our driver dodged and weaved through all of them so by the time we arrived both my husband and I (who never get carsick) almost had to ask him to pull over! Upon arrival, no one greeted us with the cold towel or offered us the signature drink. These things don't make or break an experience, but it was not the greeting we are used to getting at Sandals. Both would have been very welcome after that car ride! We arrived early, so we didn't expect our room to be ready, but when we told the Club concierge we'd never been to this resort, he basically said - here's the pool, this restaurant is open for breakfast until 10:30. Come back at 2 and see if your room is ready. We never learned about the Club level resort orientation or other Club-level only events until the end of our second day when I went to talk to someone about some of the little perks (that we paid for!) were missing. The room we were supposed to have had water on the floor - whether from the defrosting of the freezer in the mini fridge or from the air conditioner - there was some debate there. Anyway, we were moved to a different room. There was no Club package in the room welcoming us back to the resort or our spa voucher because we are Emerald Level. Over and over again we had to ask multiple people before we could get a straight answer on whether we got 10% off at the gift shop or not. The staff was the most unfriendly at any Sandals. There were a couple of staff members who stood out to us for going above and beyond, but on the whole, the interaction and simply saying "Hi" to guests wasn't there. Food was okay - nothing great but nothing too awful. We only stayed for 3 nights but by the 4th day I was tired of the same handful of things at the breakfast buffet. The entertainment was great at night - lots of fun shows and things like that. The beach is public so you constantly had people walking by trying to sell drugs, massages, parasailing, deep sea fishing, even seafood! There are also people who walk around singing and playing guitar, which was cool but got old after awhile. At the end of the day, we enjoyed our time - the beach is pretty amazing, the swimming area is super calm, and there were plenty of chairs, umbrellas, palapas, etc. Being on a beach in Jamaica always beats a day at work, but personally, we would not come back to this particular resort.

Been a wonderful experience for our honeymoon! Very kind staff and good environment. Food was good, staff are attentive, and overall it was everything you would get with an all-inclusive experience. Some guests were disrespectful and disgruntled, as to why? I do not know. The staff/concierge have done the best they can to keep us happy! No complaints. Lots of optional activities, and the vibes are chill. Bleu was wonderful and checked in to see how our trip/honeymoon was. Spa was expensive as were photos, but those are totally up to you! We did love Kimonos restaurant. I’d say reserving at restaurants that required a reservation were a little tough to get some days. Overall I’d say 5/5. Read less
