Beaches
Negril
Located on Long Bay, this
all-inclusive resort is a member of the Sandals family. Unlike the Sandals
resorts, however, Beaches is for everyone: families, singles, and couples.
Best for honeymooners who are blending new families or for couples having
a destination wedding and bringing a wedding party which includes children.
Couples (but not couples with children) staying here can enjoy reciprocal
privileges at Sandals Negril or Beaches Sandy Bay.
Beaches
Sandy Bay
Formerly Poinciana, this member of the Beaches chain welcomes families
so it's best as an option for honeymooners with kids or destination wedding
parties with children. (Another option is for the wedding party to stay
at Sandals and the members of the wedding party, including children, to
stay here or at Beaches Negril.)
Couples
Negril
This couples-only property exudes a relaxed, Caribbean atmosphere. As
with Couples Ocho Rios, everything is included in the all-inclusive offering,
from top shelf liquors to watersports to transfers as well as some off
property tours. Be sure to ask about the package deal combining a stay
at Couples Ocho Rios with Couples Negril.
Couples
Swept Away
This 134-suite all-inclusive markets itself to the fitness and health-conscious
couple. With plenty of sports activities ranging from watersports to a
full gym located across the street from the resort, Couples Swept Away
offers a slightly different package than its neighbors.
Grand Lido Negril
Part
of the SuperClubs chain, this elegant resort is for overachievers who
want to relax and kick back on the beach, but still enjoy 24-hour room
service, top shelf liquors, and all the amenities of a fine resort. The
resort is especially proud of the Zein, a 147-foot yacht that takes guests
on sunset cruises. The yacht was originally a wedding gift from Aristotle
Onassis to Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. Daily lessons are offered
in snorkeling, scuba diving, and water skiing at Grand Lido, plus private
tennis lessons. For something less strenuous, there's the white sand beach
for lazy (and, along one stretch, nude) sunbathing or satellite TV back
in the room. For the ultimate in pampering, guests can indulge with a
complimentary manicure or pedicure.
Hedonism
II
Ask
any guest why they picked this Seven Mile Beach resort and you might hear
for the partying, for the nude beach, or for the disco, a throbbing high-tech
affair that brings in guests from other Negril resorts with purchase of
a night pass.
Riu
Negril
This Spanish chain of all-inclusives has two new properties in Negril.
Sandals
Negril
Part of the popular Sandals couples-only chain that originated in Jamaica,
this resort is popular with young, sports-oriented couples. Watersports
are a big offering and the resort even includes one pool just for scuba
lessons. Tennis, racquetball, squash, and other activities are included
for landlubbers. Couples
staying here can also dine at Beaches Negril.
Sunset at the Palms
Negril is bordered to the east by the Great Morass, a swampland rich with
peat, a substance that was considered as a possible energy source in the
1970s when scientists studied the feasibility of mining this resource.
Environmental concerns about the possibility of damaging Negril's famous
Seven Mile Beach put a stop to the mining plans. During the study of the
Morass, these researchers lived in cabins in Negril. Today, Negril Cabins
utilizes those original structures plus several new buildings and operates
as a resort for those want to combine the luxuries of a hotel with the
natural experience of camping. Visitors enjoy Swiss Family Robinson-style
accommodations in cabins perched on stilts. Lush grounds are filled with
indigenous Jamaican flora and fauna and dotted with colorful hummingbirds.
Today this resort is operated by the same company as Sunset Beach Resort
in Montego Bay.
