Beaches Negril

This was our second year in a row at Beaches Negril, Jamaica. This all-inclusive resort is all that you can imagine it to be from the personable staff to the variety of cultured foods to the abundance of family activities. There is never a dull moment once you arrive on site! The hospitality was as perfect as always! The service across the board was always superb- prompt, attentive, and deeply considerate. No matter what, you truly feel like you have arrived to bliss! Also, you won't get bored. From water sports and beach volleyball to performances, and fire shows under the stars- the energy was electric, and the options endless. And the karaoke nights were also beyond fun! Our kids were enjoyed the night club nightly. Delly, Nae Nae Jon, Shamone, and Elvan are exceptional hosts and performers!!!! -Lumumba Samuels

We stayed at this resort for 8 days. We had a great time. My son enjoyed every minute. I usually do not swim in the ocean. However, this beach was beautiful. The water was warm. There were alot of people on the beach selling goods and services but I did not feel pressured to purchase. We were able to do an excursion to Rick's Cafe via a charter from Beaches. They kept us safe despite the choppy water that day. The food was very tasty. The downside was that the pool with the swim up bar didn't have any entertainment. The entertainment was mostly at the water park which is small. We utilized the kids club on our last day. My son had a lot of fun. Also, we utilized the spa twice. I took my son for his first spa experience. The ladies were amazing. The entertainment team and shows were very entertaining. We travel several times per year. Overall the experience was a good one.

Entertainment and staff made the experience fantastic. My teens loved it! The food was good, overall, but we were a little disappointed that we could get reservations for certain restaurants, more than once.

My wife and I took our three kids, ages 6, 10, and 15, to Beaches Negril for 2 weeks this June 2025. We would very highly recommend this resort especially for families with children of all ages. Our vacation centered around scuba diving, snorkeling, other water sports, and enjoying the food at the many great restaurants at the resort. We had initially booked our vacation at Beaches Ocho Rios, but received an email from the company a month before our stay that the resort in Ocho Rios was closing at the beginning of June. We had to scramble to rebook at Beaches Negril during the same dates, as we had paid for our flights already, had time off work, and did not have flexibility to go at another time. In order to accomplish this, we did end up staying in three different rooms during our stay, having to pack up and move multiple times. This was really the only negative thing about our stay. Upon our arrival, we expressed at concierge that we were concerned about the scheduling of our scuba diving and PADI courses that had been set up for Ocho Rios, and they advised us to talk directly to the people at the dive shop. Rose Marie at the dive shop took care of this immediately and made sure everything was in order. My wife and I did a scuba diving refresher course in the pool right away at 9 the next morning at the same time our 15 year old son was completing the pool portion of his PADI Open Water certification. King was the instructor, and he did a wonderful job of working patiently with us and making sure we all received thorough training. We also were delighted that because of the focus and attention from Rose Marie and King, we were able to begin diving in the ocean that same day! Even my son was able to go out and begin his open water training in the ocean with King during our dive. Caveen was one of the dive guides who helped my family the most. She knew just when to step in and boost our confidence when we needed it and made a huge difference in making our dive experience at Beaches Negril successful and fun. We also had the pleasure of diving with Glenroy, who made sure we were safe and had some wonderful dives. Another highlight of our stay at the resort was snorkeling. This was a very family friendly activity that even our 6 and 10 year olds participated in and loved. The guides were all really great, including Julian and Creton. Creton was our guide the most often though, and he was truly special. While leading the group in the water, every single time out, he went above and beyond to make sure that everyone in the group had the opportunity to see so many different fish and other ocean creatures. He brought up safe things like sea cucumbers, sand dollars, green and white urchins, and brittle starfish for everyone to be able to hold and pass around. On several different snorkel excursions we had the good fortune of seeing a sea turtle. Creton worked so hard for everyone to be able to see the turtles, swimming out ahead of them and corralling them back toward the group. Creton’s love for the ocean and enthusiasm made for unforgettable experiences that we are grateful that our children will carry with them always. In the dive shop, both Janique and Rose Marie were wonderful every day. They were so warm, kind, and fun, all while skillfully juggling the scheduling of everyone’s scuba, snorkel, and glass bottom boat trips. They worked incredibly hard to give us so many opportunities to do so many different activities and were so patient helping me keep track of who in our family was signed up for what and at what time when I couldn’t seem to keep track. Janique and Rose Marie were really responsible for a big part of what made our vacation so special. There is no way we would have been able to have so many amazing experiences without their help. We were able to enjoy our diving experience so much because of the outstanding childcare provided at the resort. While we were on the dive boat, our 6 and 10 year olds got to spend supervised time at the beach or the pools, and made lots of crafts including tie dye shirts. Our dining experiences at Beaches Negril were all very good. Our favorite place for lunch was the bbq restaurant, where we often enjoyed the Jamaican beef and chicken patties. Our favorite places for supper were the sushi restaurant and the Peruvian one, while the kids really loved the teppanyaki grill. We also loved having breakfast every morning at the Mill, where Awani did an incredible job with our fresh made to order omelets.

Delly was awesome with our teens and our family. He was very respectful, social and a hard worker! He did a fabulous job in all the performances. He was a lot of fun!
