Love the resort, Love the staff! Everyone working there seemed to be happy to be working there and happy to help with anything we needed! It was clean and easy to enjoy all that the resort had to offer! The food wasn't super but it was good! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were treated fabulously and can't wait to go back!

Awesome resort!!!!!!!!! My daughter was just married at Beaches Negril. It was truly the most beautiful wedding and the wedding planning staff was excellent. The wedding party consisted of over 40 people there for a week. We enjoyed all the watersports and swim up bars. Children were entertained everyday. What a wonderful place for families.

We had an AMAZING vacation!!! We have 3 children- 4, 6, and 9 months. The children LOVED the kids club and WANTED to go to dinner with the kids club the last 2 nights than go to dinner with us. Everyone treated our baby like their own. She was the youngest at the kids club during our stay so she received so much attention. WE LOVED all the Nannys at the kids club. I really can't say enough about how caring they were towards the kids, especially the baby. It was the best of 2 worlds - a wonderful FAMILY vacation but 2 hours a day for just my husband and I, yet they were just steps away from us the whole time! We like that it was small, but not too small, because the kids club, pool, and beach were steps away. There was so much to do for adults and children of ALL ages that we possibly could not do it all. The service at the restaurants was not the best, BUT everything else made up for it. The bugs did seem to bother a few people (including my husband) but the rest of us were fine! We can't wait to go back.. FYI-the waiting room for the bus at the airport is AMAZING!!!!

We recently stayed for 1 week with 2 small children. The workers at the resort are very friendly and always say hello and make you feel welcome so if there's an area that is really good, that's it. The beach is also terrific and there are plenty of chairs at the beach. The activities and food are another story. We went because of the children's activities but the hours operated weren't given much thought. They post from 10 to 5 for the water park which is the primary fun for the kids. What do you do with kids that get up at 6???? At the very least it could be open at 9 and close at 6, well before it gets dark! To make matters worse, the last day we were there the kids wanted 1 last dip in the 'Lazy River'. We had to get a shower and dressed at 10:30, so like they always say, No problem. BUT - they did not open until almost 10:30 and the kids were broken hearted. We spoke to 5 different workers from 10 to 10:30 and all they could say was 'it's a maintainance problem'. Nonsense - they were just late like most of the other activities they schedule. It was not uncommon to have 30 minute or more delays for the start of things. Not only that, there were not enough life jackets for the water park and people were waiting for others to get out of the water to get a life jacket - totally unacceptable. One also gets the feeling of beng sold almost every minute of the day. For an 'all inclusive' I found it offensive to have nuts in the room with a sign they were $* They also push pictures and the prices were exhorbitant.

Nice resort, good food and drinks, friendly staff. Alot of families and children, so if you are looking for a more quiet or private setting choose a different resort.

We went for the 5 day 4 night trip. It was an Great trip all around. We had fun everyday and there was so much stuff for us to do that we wish we would have stayed for the week. We cant wait to go back. We were in the cheepist room and the room felt like the top noch room, it was a beatiful room all around and we were not looking at the water our room faced the spa and it was just great to walk out on our belcony and listen to the birds and look at the amazing surroundings that jamaica has. i hope you take your family there its great for kids all ages and greatt for adults also. = )

No warning about severe jellyfish problem ( many sting one severe). Don't get injured Nurse is a cold fish,, you basically get no medical service,but you will get a bill. I was injured on one of the hotels watersport sponsored activities and I was told by two mgs. that I signed a waiver. Thanks a lot. Management argumentative with no compassion.

I am 11 years old and my and my family went to Jamaica's beaches in August of 2009. It was the best vacation I have ever been on. There are no words in the dictionary that can describe the staff members at beaches. The food was great! There were buffets at certain times. There are several different 5 star restaurants al throughout this resort and of all types of food.The rooms where clean and organized. The activities where the best. Water sports, slides, pools, ocean, parasailing, kids camp( which was the funnest thing ive ever joined) Everything! Bathrooms were clean and maintained that way. We would absolutely go again no doubt about that!

The Beaches in Negril was better than expected. I read all the reviews about run down facilities and rude staff but encountered neither. The resort was beautiful. The grounds were kept in great shape and were well maintained. The staff was very friendly and couldn't do more for you. Our party consisted of myself, my wife and two children ages 6 and 3 with my inlaws coming the day after us. The six of us found plenty to do or not do depending on your mood. The pools and beaches were great, always an abundance of towels despite what I read in other reviews. The water slide was my 6 yr olds favorite and there is a 48' min height requirement (which is on the website I might add). The water sports staff was extremely helpful, my wife actually learned to water ski while we were there. The x-box garage was another favorite for my two boys, was a great way to let them wind down from the day. The food was above average with many many choices at the buffets, the Sevillle Italian restaurant was really really good (service a little slow with food but wine glass stayed full). The Kimono restaurant got good reviews from my Inlaws as I did not eat there but they were impressed. I would suggest upgrading to a concierge level suite, we had wine and cheese plates delivered to our room every night. Its a service only provided with concierge level suites and its not only for wine and cheese but for anything else u might need and they are EXTREMELY helpful with all your needs. All in all a great trip.

I just got back from a trip to this resort and have not stopped talking about it since i've been home. The people/staff members were great with everyone. The food was alright, but always available. The room was nice, we also got the upgrade for the ocean view room and it was very nice. I saw that a lot of the reviews stated the kids were all over however i'm 23 years old and had a blast without being bothered by kids. I would recommend this hotel to anyone! I am already trying to plan my next trip here. Its all what you make of the trip!!

We went to beaches for my daughter's wedding and ended up having the most fantastic vacation ever. The wedding was gorgeous. We didn't have to do anything because the staff had taken care of everything. We sampled every restaurant on the resort and were not disappointed. The rooms were comfortable and clearn. One night my linens were not clean but someone came up immediately. My daughter did get a ton of bug bites from the rehearsal dinner on the beach but no one else did. The resort is starting to show it's age in places but we didn't care because we had so much fun. The entertainment staff are the best. We have already booked out reservations for next year.

After seeing Beaches website and there brochure we were expecting a nice place to bring our family. It turned out to be one of the worst resorts that we have ever been to. To start with our room for 4 people turned out to be a king size bed,a single fold out bed and a roll away cot, when we complained the hotel was completely sold out so they could not make any changes. Another problem with the room was how they put a window in the bathroom that can't be closed, it has a screen over it to keep out the bugs but the bugs (we were told they are sand fly?s and fleas) are so small they pass right through. As for the food there web page says ''5 specialty restaurants, plus a beach bistro'' this is a stretch in my book. The only decent place was Kimonos Steak House. The rest of the restaurants were a texmex (ok), a buffet (poor), and a adults only place that we did not go to because we had kids with us. The other thing they don?t tell you about the restaurants is that that most are open and not air conditioned. Twice we had bats fly into the place and cause lots of people including the staff to run and hide. The pools were for the most part pretty good except that they got a little dirty by the middle of the afternoon. If you decide to go bring plenty of bug repellant! On our third day I had to visit the nurse/doctor to get treatment for about 200 bug bites which turned out to be from sand flies or sand fleas. The visit to the doctor cost $. There are better places to spend your money!

I would say save your money and run other way it's by far the worst place we have ever stayed and we stay over 40 places around the world. The staff were very helpful but the owner is ripping people off the resort is falling apart and the resteraunts are not 6 its alot of false advertisment for what the book they send out and the web site has changed some of its wording since I complained about the so called state of the art gym and the luxury rooms. Run as fast as you can away from this resort,
