Overall review of Sandals Negril

Although the opportunity to stay on Seven Mile Beach is enough incentive to book a vacation at a resort in the beach’s vicinity, Sandals Negril takes things to another level with an experience you’re unlikely to find outside the Sandals chain. Out of 6,000 reviews, 88% (!) of the guests vote their stay as ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very good’.

Every single room at Sandals Negril is located just steps away from a gorgeous beach, which means guests can take a dip whenever inspiration strikes. At Sandals Negril you can enjoy a culinary experience around the world with restaurants like Cucina Romana (Italian), Kimonos (Oriental), the Beach Bistro, Barefoot by the Sea, and more. You’ll even be able to take things up a few notches on the romance scale with candlelit dinners set up by the staff of the resort.

From the included watersport activities, to gourmet dining and excellent service, you’ll be glad you chose Sandals Negril for your all-inclusive Caribbean vacation.

Three things guests love about Sandals Negril

Based on real customer reviews.

1. Guests love the Seven Mile Beach and its dramatic sunsets

Seven Mile Beach is without a doubt the best beach Jamaica has to offer. Sit back and enjoy a cocktail or ice cold Red Stripe beer in the calm turquoise waters, or get active and enjoy the water sports (they're all included!). When the warm Jamaican sun disappears over the horizon, the sky looks like an everchanging painting showcasing a variety of colors. The ideal backdrop for a romantic dinner on the waterside!

2. Guests love the world-class dining

You’ll be able to try something different every night at Sandals Negril with seven restaurants to experience during your stay. Cucina Romana is highly recommended, as is the great service and food at Sandals’ authentic Bayside Restaurant. The Piano Bar is a popular spot to start the night and a great opportunity to meet other couples.

Insider tip: The most popular restaurants at Sandals Negril require a reservation. Make sure to make some dinner reservations on arrival, especially during peak season! For dress-codes and opening times, see: restaurants at Sandals Negril.

3. Guests love the water sports and pool volleyball

Whether or not you intended to have an active holiday which includes plenty of watersports, you’ll find yourself tempted to be part of the fun at Sandals Negril. Most watersports come with professional instructions from the watersports team, so even if it’s your first time trying a particular activity, you’ll be able to hop off the deep end knowing that you’re in good hands. Speaking of hopping (or diving) off the deep end, the famous Rick’s Café is located on a 10-minute drive from Sandals Negril, if you dare to try some cliff jumping.

For a ‘perfect vacation experience’ you may not need to look much further than Sandals Negril. Be sure to ask about the Crystal Lagoon Swim Up Suites where you can take a romantic swim right from the doorstep of your room.
