Advantages: Everything - its an amazing place! Disadvantages: None that we encountered, although we heard it wasn't safe to venture out into Negril on your own.
My husband and I went to Couples Negril for our honeymoon last year - we did a two resort holiday, the first week at Couples Negril and the second at Couples Ocho Rios. Of the two, we preferred Couples Negril.
This place is amazing! From the moment we got on the courtesy bus from the airport, and our leader stopped off at a petrol station to pick up some Red Stripe for everyone!, to the minute we left, we were treated like royalty. The Jamaicans are so friendly, they can't do enough for you. The standard rooms are really nice - I can only imagine how lovely the deluxe ones must be! You can see the beach from all rooms (it seemed) and most overlook the gardens/wedding gazebo. There was a king size bed, CD player, satellite TV, safe, air conditioning, clean sheets and towels every day - even towels to take to the beach, which you ...
Advantages: Service, Style and Quality Disadvantages: Adult only
I have been to this hotel twice and am due to go back for the third time! It really is All Inclusive from the moment you step off the plane and stroll to the in airport couples lounge for your first drink, to the shuttle to your hotel, and resort excursions. The service here is warm, friendly and attentive without being in your face or imposing. The rooms are well furnished and comfortable and I loved leaving my case at reception only for it to appear at my door a few minutes later, no tip require (or allowed) the resort is not too big and the beach here is stunning, I loved the red flag system on the beach to get your drink refreshed. If you want quality, style and service I would recommend Couples Negril every time. ...

Advantages: Better beach than Ochos Rios Disadvantages: hotels either side of you
that at night the colours reflected onto the ceiling and around the room - so romantic (there you go Peter - your ceiling description at last!).
Our balcony did indeed look over the tropical gardens which, in my opinion were better than those at OR. We even had a partial sea view!
I preferred the accommodation in Negril - it was more modern and had better air con (remote controlled rather than storage heater-style).

Beach

Negril deserves its own section on the beach. Rather than being a private beach like OR the hotel is on the main Negril beach at Bloody Bay (they used to slaughter whales here, hence the name) situated between a new Riu hotel and The Grand Lido hotel. The beach is huge, white sand fringed by turquoise water - everyman's dream. Palms on the beach complete the picture with hammocks for two swung ...
