Question

My fiance and I are thinking about going to Sandal's Negril next May Any reason why we shouldn't?

Answer 1

Thank you Boston you said every thing I wanted to say and then some. Sandals Negril is a nice place you will enjoy.

Answer 2

umm, not everyone feels that way.. Jamaica is a beautiful Island, but you either get it or you don't.

Yes there are many people trying to make a living, but thats not all Negril has to offer. Sandals Negril is a nice property, but not on my favorite section of 7 Mile beach. Many love it down that end.. It's right next door to Hedo II so sometimes people get offended when they parade thru. They just do it to rile the Sandals guests. It typically works. lol.

Like most places in the world when you travel to Jamaica you must use common sense. Don't flash your $$, take out only as much as you may need, leave you id's in your safe, you won't need them, take small bills, put your $$ in your front pocket or a place where it's not easy to lift, don't walk alone drunk at night, and only get into cabs with red plates. Also when approached by someone looking to sell anything, if you don't want it a firm "no thank you" and keep walking should suffice. Like I said they are trying to make a living too.

All the same things you should do when traveling to any city, or any place for that matter.

Crime in Jamaica is mostly resident to resident.. Tourist crimes are the usual robbery stuff and don't happen as often as people would like to think.. Yes all inclusives will general try to keep you and your $$ on the resort.

I go often to Negril and love the hustle and bustle of the beach and the mellow vibe of the cliffs. I am also very aware of my surroundings.

Back to Sandals.. The Sandals properties are very nice. That one is off from most of 7 mile beaches more crowded area. It's very pretty. The beach has some patches of sea grass so just be careful in those area's as they attract urchins..

Check out the reviews on trip advisor.. I like the area Couples Swept Away is on but thats just me. I like being closer to the main beach.

Good Luck and Congratulations!!!

Answer 3

none whatsoever, unless you really do not love her and are marrying her for an ulterior motive... nothing wrong with the resort and I am sure u both will have an awesome time

Answer 4

been to jamaica and hated every second.  We were on a 5 star resort with armed guards and I still didn't feel safe for a single second. (I don't wanna mention the name because it may look bad on them and it isn't their fault)  The resort itself was nice and clean and very upscale, it's just the entire country is, sadly, in such a downward spiral.  I have heard MANY people come back from Jamaica and regret that they've gone. On the resort the male employees were hitting on my 12 year old sister and my 10 year old cousin all the time.  They hit on every female who walked by regardless of age.

Just a warning.  Now if you are asking about Sandals they are amazing. great resorts, know how to treat customers.  even people who cut the grass/water plants etc. know how to stop and say hi to customers.  they always make you feel appreciated.
