"It isn't the most glamorous, or the most upscale, of the Sandals resorts, but the chain's management makes it their flagship."

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.

"While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."

"The largest private beach in Montego Bay is the highlight of this Sandals—one of the most popular upscale resorts in the Caribbean."

Many Europeans choose this as their Caribbean outpost, creating a cacophony of mother tongues around the pool.

"This quiet, family-run hotel is on one of the nicest parts of Negril Beach. It's built hacienda-style around a central courtyard, where there's a round swimming pool and a lush garden."
