I stayed 1wk in January with my husband to be and my 14y/o daughter. We were married at Sandy Bay on the beach with 40 of our dearest friends and relatives in attendance. Mind you we are not uptight people so we were quite comfortable at Beaches Sandy Bay. It is a third-world country so modern amenities from the US... More

I had to wait a couple of weeks after I returned from Beaches Sandy Bay to write this review in order to "settle down" and let my anger subside. The only thing this resort has going for it is the beautiful beach and some excellent staff but at the end of the day, the resort is run down and we... More

I spent 10 days at Beaches Sandy Bay in January. I was attending a family wedding and took my 88 year old mother along. For a family event, the resort was wonderful. The resort is relatively small with a very attentative and friendly staff. We had children in our group, so the daily Sesame Street activities were great - and... More

never book with them by mail. They promise you a room. But finally you arrive at the pier, call them to be picked up and they gently tell you that the room was unfortunately book for someone else!! Overbooking or just bad reception staff. More

Dear Trip Advisor, I do not think this feedback is for Beaches Sandy Bay, we have not been overbooked since the year has begun; secondly, we do not offer transfer from the port toour hotel. Transfer to Beaches Sandy Bay is only available from Donald Sangster International airport ONLY. Please can you review this feedback and update your site. Regards,... More

I have to say without a doubt, if you have children and are planning a trip to Negril this is the resort to go to. The staff are amazingly hospitable and personable. They are so friendly and will remember your children's name by your 2 nd day. We went last may and were so sad to leave that we rebooked... More

Water sports were fantastic. Room was great. Snack Shack by the pool was great [jerk chicken heaven]. Entertainment/nightly shows were lame, but who cares. Ability to go... More
