Sundowner very good very pretty if you want some different wine you will have to wait a bit, service was great wait staff lovely. Kimonos great new twist to hibachi made with some Reggae bogging, lots of fun. Food was great. Main restaurant ?Bayside? lunch and breakfast buffet Great!! Dinner was also very good. Service was great. It is mostly outdoors if you don?t mind the company of some garlins that look like white herrings you will be very pleased. ?Dino?s? was excellent, try to go late when it is cooler. Beach: Wow gorgeous keep walking along beach and find a sandy spots with less seaweed, however, who cares about seaweed with gorgeous three shades of blue and green water. Sand is cool and white. When in the water look down it?s pretty. However, not to scare you look for sea urgents. They are spikey star fish, very pretty but is you step on one you will be startled. I was swimming alongside a sting ray who was afraid of me NOT dangerous very cool. Vendors: very controlled believe you are not constantly bothered by vendors the resort guards let a certain amount threw and they are very courteous and polite not pushy at all. They carry some beautiful things take a peek. Drinking: Ok I am officially a wind snob; Beringer Chardonnay is not for me. So I spent a good amount of money on Bottles of ?Chateau St. Jean? to the tune of $48 a bottle. The good news Berenger Red is good. The sweet stuff was delicious and pretty new exotic drinks served everywhere with a smile. Rooms: Well this is when it gets dicey. We had the Concierge Room yes it was fully stocked with liquor with a beautiful view and very clean, however it was dated the bathroom was dated and our water pressure was not so great. We did take a peek at the Crystal lagoon rooms, and the millionaire Suite, and let me tell you, they were gorgeous. Needless to say we upgraded to the Millionaire Suited gave up our view for a deluxe bathroom and a private terrace, living room, two big screen TV?s etc. etc. We could only have the last two nights due to our availability. Pool side: The main pool was fun swim up bar a lagoon in the morning they have activities I took some Salsa lessons it was fun. Then they have couples activities. If you are looking for a more peaceful environment around the pool go later in the afternoon they play calmer music and people are just lounging. Staff: They get my vote for being the most hospitable people on a resort and I have been on a view including the Ritz Carlton in Naples Florida. They were totally up to the Ritz Carlton Gold standards without looking for a tip. However, if you want to tip sneak it. They all deserve it. Night Activities: Piano Bar was fun then after that they break out to a fun disco. There is always a show at the Main restaurant stage which was very entertaining. The big attraction for the Young people was the Reggae Party on the Beach near the Cabanas. We wen early and the young people where having a blast dancing and around to a great Reggae Band and let me tell you that party went on to the wee hours. Made me wish I was young again and could keep up. We talked to some couple that stayed all night and they said it was a memory making fun filled time. Close

have been twice. Going for a 3rd time

This review is compared to going to riveria mayia and a cruise on carnival freedom ship. Staff here was great. Food was way better compared to the other places. I thought it was pretty decent. It's better than cafeteria food since they have to feed ...Read more

We stayed at the beautiful resort Beaches Negril. Our stay was a period of seven days (July 13th-July 20th 2011)
The minute we reached Beaches Negril resort, we were treated with respect and love.
The hotel manager, M. Arnold Nugent, and the front desk manager, Karen Singh, were the first ones to welcome us. It is rare to have managers coming to greet the tourists. Courtney, the Bell Captain, and Rushane, the front desk captain, greeted us as well and took care of our luggages and our stay. The whole team at Beaches Negril came to see us several times to make sure that we had all we needed. It was greatly appreciated.

Mark and I had a blast. We ate at least five times a day. The Pizza restaurant was amazing. Every time I was ordering a pizza, the cooks would make it in front of us with fresh ingredients. Our favourite restaurants were The Mil, where it is a buffet morning, noon and night, Stewfish restaurant, where you eat on the beach and they serve fresh crab legs, tender chicken and much more, and the Burger place, where we met Mr. Burger who everyday would make juicy burgers, chicken nuggets and some good fries. The service was quick, the food was always fresh and the staff always made conversation with us.

Every time Mark and I would go to the bar for drinks, the bar tenders were friendly and funny. They were pros in what they were doing and we liked the fact that they would not serve alcohol to teens that are under 18 years of age. Great Job.

Mark and I also enjoyed the entertainment. There were great dancers who would teach us different type of dances. There were shows every night for all ages and many other activities.

When it was time to leave, I shed some tears because it felt like home.

Thank you to all the staff at Beaches Negril who made our stay precious. We consider you family because you treated us like we were part of your family.

See you next year.

Lynda and Mark Heron-Bashkiharatee

The room was run down and had a smell to it and me and my fiancee started to get bit by the bugs in the room so bad that the professional pictures that we took we can only show are face because of the bug bites on are legs and arms are showing , we where there for a friends wedding thats also a reason for the pro pictures . ask the house keeper to take care of the bugs in are room she states "this is Jamaica theres bugs everywhere . So that didnt help . Ok here is the big issue we are both non drug users while laying out on the beach in the resort across from our room you will get asked about 5 times by 3 to 4 different people if you want to buy sea shells , weed , hash, brownies this is all in 20 minutes and after you say no they will come back say people and ask you again after the walk up and down the beach . you think you can get away from them if you go in the water Thats a NO a guy with a jet ski named BLUE DRAGON will find you in the water and ask you multiple times if you want to go jet skiing or do you want weed he will drive his jet ski in waist high water to get at you for a sale of his goods as soon as he leaves a older man in a white and blue small fishing boat will try to sell you weed and other drugs . That is everyday on the beach ... Food . do to the heat there and the setup of there food they start by taking out the bread and bagels at 6 am for a 7am breakfast service so the breads are bad in one hour in the heat and when they run out of stuff at breakfast they don't replace anything they run a smoothie bar that if you don't go to it first thing they run out of all the fruit and they never restock it . all the veggies have almost no taste and most are unripened to start . leaving the resort is not recommended we did because we have wedding plans outside the resort 2 times and both times we wish we didn't PLAIN AND SIMPLE JAMAICANS ARE RUDE AND THEY WILL TREAT A GIRL LIKE THEY OWN THEM AND THEY ARE VERY AGGRESSIVE EVEN WHEN YOU TELL THE NO ... the resort gets a taxi to go to a bar and we stay there for a few hours the taxi driver is suppose to stay with you so they take you back to the resort well our taxi driver was MIA and we asked a staff member if they seen him and they went looking for him and found him at the bar drinking he comes swaying back to the taxi with beer in his hand i took a picture of all of this . and he says i always have a good time here and we had a drunk taxi driver bring us back to the resort . to sum this all up . food is about C- pizza was ok everything else was tasteless . The room is a D do to being run down and bugs . the Beach is a B because of the white sands and clean water but you cant enjoy it with all the drug dealers pestering you . The staff D most of them are rude and you say hello and half don't respond to you . DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS PLACE IT IS NOT WORTH IT Close
