Advantages: The Sun, The People, The Life Disadvantages: Let Me Know If You Find Any
This place is simply the best hotel and holiday I have ever, ever had. Now I could leave it at that but I expect you want a bit more information to as why?
The Riu Club Hotel Negril (also refferred to as Riu Negril) is all inclusive so you don't need to worry about paying while away.
Please remember if you go to Jamaica they charge you to leave the country at the airport. The cheapest way to do this is to take Jamaican dollars. It works out about £10 stirling each. However if you pay in US dollars it equates to about £15 stirling or if you pay stirling it works out around £13. We took the Jamaican dollars and just kept them to one side.
Oh go on then....

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Negril (Jamaica)
Advantages: Good all inclusive package and right on beach - literally! Disadvantages: Rooms bit small for families if in standard room type
of Beaches. There are many different properties throughout the Caribbean and they range from budget end to the extravagant end depending on a number of factors including location and the size and amount of facilities in resort.
The property I am reviewing is the lowest end of the Beaches properties called Beaches Sandy Bay and is located in Negril in Jamaica.
First impressions:
As you pull up to the hotel you cannot miss the rather large sign outside that is the 'Beaches' logo - the main entrance looks quite nice with a large spacious area and high ceilings that the breeze can blow through from the pool and beach area. However you certainly cannot mistake the very flowery print of the chairs which is pretty much standard throughout the Beaches properties! Some people find it all part of the package and I suppose it is aimed at families but ...
Advantages: Nanny service, family oriented, caring staff Disadvantages: 1 1/2 hours drive from airport

When deciding where to go on our first family holiday abroad, it didn't take us long to decide upon BeachesNegril. Our son had been born 9 months after our trip to Sandals in Jamaica and we thought that this would be the perfect place to take our little Sandals baby!
So, we went forward and booked our holiday to BeachesNegril for 2 adults and a 15 month old baby!
~Booking~
We have been to Sandals a few times and are Signatures members (loyalty members club). So, we know a few things about the Sandals/Beaches Resorts. One thing we do know is that travel operators CANNOT discount the rooms on their own. If Sandals/Beaches does, then they can. So, if you book a package holiday, then the price difference comes from the flights themselves. After much comparison, we decided to ...
