We have been going to the Negril Beach Club since 1998. Always had a wonderful time, even if in recent years they added telephones and satellite TVs in room! Great annual get together with friends from all over the US/Canada and Europe. Easy walk to the village and supermarkets/stores for supplies, best beach in the world for walking/running/entertainment/dining. Can't wait to get back next year.

We booked the trip and hotel very last minute when we just needed to get out of New York for a few days. We found a GREAT deal on the Beach Club Condos ($*/night!!!) and decided to brave it. We figured, even if the room sucked we'd be on the beach, so who cares? The NBCC was WAY beyond my expectations. The room was clean, had a fridge, a decent amount of hot water (about 15 minutes worth, just long enough for a decent shower) and the condos really are right on the beach. The staff was very nice and friendly. The beach space was nice and clean, had plastic beach chairs for occupant use, several trees with nice shade (if you burn like me!), and was complete with a bar (where they make fancy and affordable drinks with real fruit!)
One of the nicest parts of our stay was getting to know some of the locals that work at the small shops on the beach next to the Condos. Dean Brown, who owned one of the few shops I saw where the items were made by a local artist (not China and then shipped there). In fact, the artist himself was there working on his carvings most days we were there. In addition, Dean was friendly, not too pushy and extremely easy and nice to talk to. Unfortunately, the economic conditions in Negril have made many of the locals very aggressive salesman, but Dean somehow finds a way to remain a gentleman. Another lovely local we met was X, who works for the scuba/snorkeling services at NBCC. We went for a morning scuba session with him where we had a great time (it was also very affordable at $*/person).
All-in-all, Jamaica can be tough, but we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

The hotel was nice but the bed was hard ,you could hear everything that was going on in the hallway and the patio. The room was invaded by ants by the middle of my stay and I saw a cockroach in my room on my last day there. The staff was good no complaint about them at all.

Based on the length of my stay, location, and price (very reasonable) - I can't complain too badly but I would have a hard time recommending NBC to my friends. The room was spacious and had a new a/c & satellite television. Good hot water for showers. Beds were comfortable enough but if you are looking for modern amenities that's about it. Saw ants and a waterbug at the end of my three days. Cheap, plastic furniture on the terrace that will break if you sit too hard. Lots of steps -not really friendly for the disabled or kids. Unfinished renovations - tiling, painting, etc. No Wi-fi. The spring breakers screaming at 3:30 am made me feel like my walls were made of paper and lock on the front door could have been picked by a 2 year old. I called for the entryway light to be changed in my room and no one came after an hour. When I went to the front desk no one could find the maintenance guy - so I ended up changing it myself! The front desk staff did not seem knowledgable or helpful and the lobby was dark & cramped. The best part was the beach which was my main reason for coming & it was steps from my room. The security staff on the beach was friendly & helpful- X really helped me get around and made great recommendations to get the most out of my trip. But all in all, particularly as a single female traveler I wouldn't recommend for more than a few nights. My next trip will be longer and I will be staying elsewhere.
