Advantages: 7 MILES OF BEACH AT YOUR DOORSTEP
Disadvantages: HAD TO COME HOME

...Then I booked transport to Negril from JUTA via their online juta.com which gave me a $5 US discount each way. I was worried that I was going to be late getting to Heathrow airport, but when I got to the Air J desk I was the only one waiting - another great reason to fly them. (Plus none of their flights from the UK westward have been cancelled recently either!) And imagine my smile when they announced the Champagne flight - yes! Free Champagne, ... Read review

Advantages: Better beach than Ochos Rios
Disadvantages: hotels either side of you

...again to Negril. At Negril we were met by the hoards of taxi drivers trying to give us lifts and drug dealers tempting us with their wares (NB it is illegal to possess cannabis in Jamaica so don't get caught if you are tempted) but we knew that Couples would be providing a bus. They needn't have bothered in reality as the hotel was no more than 50 yards along the road - if only we had known. On arriving we were again met with champagne and wet ... Read review

Advantages: All, I mean, All inclusive
Disadvantages: cost

Sandals, the ultimate in all inclusives, Has always had a fascination for me. Right from the time I saw the first glossy adverts in the Sunday papers to now even after having spent two weeks in Sandals Negril. Right from walking into the travel agents here the whole process was very easy, except of course parting with the money. Tickets all arrived with more glossy photos within two weeks and everything had been thought of everything even ... Read review

Advantages: Gorgeous, good cocktails, lovely people
Disadvantages: Wee beasties, on sit e shops can be quite expensive!

...went into the town of Negril a couple of times during the day. The people are so laid back. they were sitting out side there shops or stalls with their feet up, sometimes smoking you know what and just living life! It is a very poor country outside of the glity resorts, and each town has a bad part. In all though it was magical. Most of the things displayed on the stalls were hand crafted, it gives a nice personal touch. You will be approached and ... Read review

Advantages: A terrific way to unwind and chill out
Disadvantages: All cities have their rough spots, just be careful

...'Cocktail'. I went to Negril and stayed outside of the hotel complexes. (Not by choice). Anyway, a few disasters happened where the person I went with got mugged etc. etc. and wasn't pleasant. Any traveller would know not to go wandering off by yourself in complete darkness in an area that you have no knowledge of, this is the major rule here. When they say to you to try and not leave the complex, that is a word of warning. Although anybody ... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful place, beautiful people
Disadvantages: Entertainment could be better but wasn't too bad

We visited the this stunning Hotel on our honeymoon. Two weeks in September 2005. We decided to get a private transfer to the hotel with Talk of the Town Tours. Soloman was fantastic, from the off we were immersed into the chilled out way of life that envelopes this amazing island. We arrived at the hotel to be greeted with a cocktail, just the trick after a long flight! We were then taken to our room, fully stocked with mini bar full of beer, ... Read review

Advantages: The people, the sunsets, the atmosphere.
Disadvantages: The 10 hour flight folowed by the 1:30 min coach drive to Negril

...the place. I started going to Negril with my wife on our honeymoon to the Beaches Negril resort (which is part of the Sandels resots group) in 2004 and haven't looked back since. It is a really lovely place to go for a holiday, beaches resorts maybe on the costly side for a two week holiday but it is really worth it as they are all inclusive so you never have to worry about food or drink. The resort has about 3/4 of a mile of the 7 mile long ... Read review
