Wonderful Trip Back
Wayne S (Mount Joy, Pennsylvania) on Feb 01, 2025
My wife and I went to Sandals Negril on our first trip to Jamaica more than 20 years ago. After visiting Dunn’s River and Southcoast last year we decided on a return to Negril. I have to be honest I really recognized very little of the old resort. If you are reading this review you didn’t read with the intention of reading some reviewer’s personal history. I will move on! Something that didn’t change about the resort and is true of all facilities in the chain is the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. Everyone from the welcome staff, to servers, the bartenders, entertainment staff, and even housekeepers always greet you with a smile and some friendly exchange. Now I recognized the Main Bar and immediately connected with Sasha, Shane and Marlon. When things were slow we talked about everything from family, government and all the positive aspects of working for the Sandals chain. My wife and I stayed on the third floor of Paradise building. Our room and our view both wonderful. Every so often you could smell the cooking at Perla, but I never considered that a negative. Yes, the building is on the older side, but is well maintained. That is not saying it couldn’t use a splash of paint here and there. Our room, however, was just perfect. I also want to comment about the housekeeping staff. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day, even the sand I managed to track in the room was gone. Those ladies work very hard. I always hesitate to comment about food as my wife and I aren’t picky and are willing to try things we don’t normally eat. I can say if you can’t find something to your liking at any of the restaurants you ought to stay home and cook for yourself. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but you are on vacation…why the rush? If time permits, try all of the restaurants and don’t miss trying the jerk platter at Perla. Yes we were Club Level and liberally used the staff to help with all kinds of things...especially reservations. We had no problems with our room so I can't comment about service/maintenance related questions. Jermaine really went out of his way to help us. I would also like to comment about the nightly entertainment. Funny how you often see people working during the day, then appearing that night in the show. One such staff member was Odane. Odane worked during the day entertaining guests on the beach and chatting up various activities, My wife and I cornered the young man for about 25 minutes on the beach, where he spoke at length about his family and he told us of his dream to some day enter the music industry. That night Odane was featured in a musical show. I really think Odane will reach his dream job someday. All in all it was well worth spending a repeat week at Negril. It certainly has an island vibe with a wonderful beach. Yes vendors of all things walk by regularly. But a simple no thanks will send them on their way. This trip we saw some very good beach vocalists and beach bands….never realized there were so many ways to present “One Love”.

We would like to call out the outstanding service we received from Rich at the piano bar. He greeted us each day he worked, remembering our drink choices. We visited his bar at least twice daily for our delicious pina coladas and Miami Vices. Don’t miss the best drinks from Rich!
