We were looking for a place to spend our 25th anniversary with excellent food as well as service. We didn’t receive either of those things here. The food is like cafeteria food and the service was awful. Beach here is nice and the room was okay. Overall, not worth the money.

This was our ninth time to Negril, but our first time at Sandals. I was a little concerned about our choice after reading some of the reviews, but it turns out that we were very happy with our stay and we plan to return. Our room was newly renovated and spacious with a beautiful view of the water. We were celebrating a birthday and upon room arrival there were balloons, flower petals, champagne on ice and our butler had filled our whirlpool bath for us. Everything we had asked for in our refrigerator was there as well as the bottle of liquor we had requested and our ice bucket was full. Wonderful first impression! The beach was beautiful, the pool in front of our building was clean and quiet. Our butler’s Roy and O’Dane did a fantastic job taking care of us all we and they added those special touches to our stay. We had a couples massage at the spa- so relaxing! We also did a snorkel excursion and a private boat tour and both were so nice! We found all of the staff to be friendly and helpful. Our building was quiet, but if you wanted more activity during the day there was the option to go to the main pool. Nightlife was lacking so if it’s party you want this probably isn’t your place. The buffet breakfast was good and lunches were as well. We were a little disappointed in the dinner food though. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Our experience was far different from any negative reviews I read. We came home feeling relaxed and happy. What else could you ask for? Read less

We will never go back to this sandals resort. We have been to other resorts such as Secrets, Dreams, and RIU’s, but this is the first time at a Sandals resort. This was over all the worst experience at a resort we have had. The money you pay for this one is definitely not worth it, expected so much more for a Sandals resort. Disappointed with the Sandals lounge at the airport, there were not really any options (Mobay lounge was much better when we did that a few years ago). The check in was a disaster. Staff would not grant anyone wifi access until our rooms were ready (first time experiencing this nonsense at a resort). After waiting for about an hour just standing in the lobby trying to get checked in, we were starving, we requested to go sit down & eat as a group while we waiting for our rooms. The staff was less than pleased with this, but accommodated us. There were few women staff that were friendly, but the majority are not very friendly. Breakfast buffet options are not great. There is no buffet option for any other meal time. There’s a lot to be said for being in island time, but expect to wait at least an hour for a sit down meal (any time of the day). I was surprised hibachi did not offer a show at dinner (this is only resort that’s never done a show with dinner reservations). They just cooked it in front of us and served it. The cafe desserts / snacks were a disappointment. Entertainment was ok but doesn't compare to the other resorts. Pool water at swim up was absolutely disgusting. I would think with being a smaller resort it would be easier to manage to maintain the pool area. The entertainment staff was pleasant. Enjoyed the water sports that were available and staff in that area was great. Hate the lounge chairs at the beach - you cannot put them all the way flat so makes it hard to lay on your stomach (first I have ever experienced this at a resort). Our room - the AC was terrible! Had the temp turned all the way down, the fan on high, & it felt like I had the ac on low. By the last 2 days it’s didn’t feel like we had an AC in our room at all. AC leaked onto the floor the entire stay. Was with a great group & made the most of the stay. Save your money & go somewhere else. Read less

Buffet options are not great. Expect to wait over an hour EVERYTIME you get a sit down meal even for lunch. Brava was the only restaurant with amazing service and staff. No show at hibachi at all. They just cooked it in front of us and served it. Coffee shop desserts were the same everyday and options were less than desirable. We had to change rooms mid stay due to complaining about a water leak everyday in our toilet area. We would get wet while we were sitting on the toilet. Entertainment at the pool was ok but doesn't compare to the other sandals I have been too. Pool water at swim up was absolutely disgusting. We went to get the net ourselves and the staff member did it for about 3 minutes. PICK ANOTHER RESORT! THIS RESORT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL! DISAPPOINTED FOR A SANDALS RESORT! Read less

This is our very first Sandals experience and I cannot say enough amazing things about this resort! The Sandals entertainment team is phenomenal! They amazed us day after day! Ashliann, Chevy, and Tammy were the life of the party, they know how to make your stay extra special!
