Negril Beach Club Resort

overall, our stay was all we wanted- relaxing, sun and sand filled. pictures were misleading as they showed timeshare condos nearer the beach than the standard room we were in. We did have to overlook that our standard room was in need of several cosmetic repairs to tilework, non-draining patio outside during rain and a few other things. The a/c noise did drown out the constant loud conversation of the staff of the resort that seemed to congregate outside our room, but we were nice and cool inside. Restaurant was good, bar was fine except for loud music from 10-5 ish that carried throughout the property. Beach was perfect!!!This is why we go to Negril and the price was right.

Taken back at first. looked dirty and run down, but really just needs a coat of paint. Our room was bigger than a normal motel. Nice garden and the staff was good. Lingah By the Sea restaurant was good and reasonable. Maid service everyday, clean towels. good AC and 19" TV, our phone didn't work. Take your own beach towels none provided. We take the cheap $2.00 floats from Wal Mart and give them away when we leave. It's a great place to float, the swimming area is safe and roped off from the jet skis and boats. We swam out with our masks on the floats beyond the dark spots which are grass outside the ropes and found dozens of giant starfish, some 12"s across. It's a long swim don't do it if you are not a good swimmer, it's about 20' deep. There are 2 shops in the motel, one is small with cold drinks, beer and snacks run by the motel and the other has souvenirs,liquor,towels ice cream and snacks privately owned. Beach is nice and kept clean by [...]plenty of chairs and shade under the almond trees. The bar is ok, when the younger bartenders are working the music is too loud, but we found this the case at other smaller motels we stayed in there also. They turned it down when we asked them to. Close to town 1/2 mile. Be sure to get patties from the patty man on the beach for $1.00 - $2.00, I like the beef. Don't expect to use the hot tub, I was told it hasn't worked in years. The grounds are well maintained I guess for the Time share guests. They get the nicer beach condos. We were in rooms that backed up toward the beach but the beach was blocked by the garden area. We sat on our patio and played cards in the evening when it rained. We had a group of cats and kittens hanging out by our patio. Good place if you are like us and spend 90% of your time on the beach and not in your room. Go to Ys falls if you want a day trip but it's a hour and a half taxi ride, we paid $100 for 2. Good cool water, lots of scenery and a zip line over the falls. Guides there will help you and take pictures of you. Tips welcome. You will be approached by lots of locals on the beach selling everything from necklaces to pot. Just tell them no thanks and move on unless you want to buy something. Free to look, they are just trying to make a living and most are ok.Lots of fresh fruit sold too. The best thing I like about Jamaica is the temperature, pretty much a high of 85 everyday all year and 60% humidity. Very laid back, No problem, Yea Man.

During our stay we visited friends, ate at several restaurants in the area, karaoke at Travelers, Thursday at The Jungle (ladies free), visited Treasure Beach, The Blue Hole and met some nice new people while walking and visiting the area. Saw great Jamaican Michael Jackson impersonator at Roots Bamboo as well as local Donnie single a couple songs and main attraction.

The hotel is nicely located on the beach however; the hotel was not what I expected. The decor was stuck in the 70's it really needs an huge make over. There were six of us and we had three rooms. We all had complaints from the ac not working to roaches in the room. The bed was highly unconfirtable I couldn't wait to go home to sleep in my own bed. The overall vacation was great but the hotel stay was not. The resturant and bar thats on the property was Awsume but they are not affiliated with the hotel. I have stayed at Travellers Beach Club Resort in the past which is next to Negril Beach Club Resort and have had a wonderful experience. That may be were I will be staying next year.

Well... what could I say?! It was not the accommodations that I was used to. I've learned that there are Jamaican and American versions of what is considered a resort. Let's say I will be staying in an American version next time. I was in Negril for a wedding and needed something cheap. I should have taken heed to the old adage, you get what you pay for. The good: Friendly staff convenient to town and local sites garden is well kept and picturesque room was nice and cold - good a/c The bad: Room doors did not seem too secure Hotel could be updated; old bathroom mat, fixtures and furniture Did not meet my expectations from previews It was an okay place if you just needed some place to lay your head. It was more on the lines of a motel with some amenities like a store, restaurant, beach bar.

This hotel had the best beach on the strip. All the hotels seemed to have only a few feet of sand before the water. This hotel had a nice beach and a lot of trees for shade. It is a combination of timeshares, rental-condos, and rooms. Everything else was nasty. No room service, smelly rooms, and everything was broken. The staff was not so friendly but they did their job. Security was good. A couple of cockroaches appeared every morning in the bathroom but apart from that pests were not a problem. The rooms have a balcony with a view of a well maintained garden.

The custome service was below average. Overall, the location good, however the customer service was not good. Took forever to check, phone in the room did not work, the customer service were rude and unprofessinal. Food was not good, showed up for breakfast and the chef was not yet at work. Was not impressed.

While staying on the beach the security guard was very friendly and watched out for all the guest at the beach front. The hotel staff was kind as well.

I love this Hotel. I mean for the Price it is the best hotel ever. It is right on the beach. Everything is a dollar travel away from the hotel. IF you love to walk like me you can walk to any super market or restaurant. The night life in Negril is not that far away from the hotel. I mean the seven mile beach is full of hotels and night life. You can walk to a live reggae band party on the main road or you can take off your sandals and walk on the beach. The pool is not that great. It is usually not clean. But comparing to the wide blue ocean in front of you who would want to be in the Pool anyways. The hot tab is very big and runs all day all night. It is kind hidden a little bit away from public site so people can have privacy. But it is very clean and warm. The bar and the restaurant is right on the beach and have a very good food and drinks for reasonable price. The bar is open till you decide to roll into your room. It's the best place ever. And hey if you like some fancy pool or hot tab there are plenty hotels on the beach that you can walk in to and use there fasciitis. They have "no Problem Man!" As the Jamaicans' would say it!

Beach Club was just fine, not special but worth the price. Good location, good restaurant, beach. Our room 133 was pretty bare bones, decent ac, patio, fridge, clean etc. Worth the money and would stay there again. I do want to give a heads up on credit card fraud that has occurred to my card today and I just got back from Jamaica yesterday. I only used the card at a few places. The hotel I booked through [...]and I don't think that led to the fraud. I used the card sparingly. Harley Davidson shop, Bar B Barn, the spa at the Caves, the restaurant at Negril Beach Club and Alfreds on the beach. Alfreds is the one that I am very suspicious of... I gave the bartender my card during the 10pm Friday night reggae party on the beach as I anticipated purchasing several drinks between my wife and I. They were very busy and lots of patrons there. When I eventually went to get my bill, it became obvious that the bartender was avoiding me. The first 15 minutes or so I was calm as I was still enjoying the music and understanding that they were slammed. After about the 3rd time that the bartender told me to hold on mon as he went to other customers I began to yell to him or someone of the 4 bartenders to get me my check. The bartender came to me and told me he could not give me my check because my credit card WAS NOT THERE! He said my card was at the owners house and it would arrive back to the bar shortly. Then I began to loose it, demanding that I get my card back and that I wanted to talk to the police. He walked away. I began to yell for some police or security. The bartender came back and said "please your card is coming." I began to double think of my actions and wondering what realistic position I was in, in a different country etc. I stomped off to the restroom, outside of the bar, to get some fresh air. When I came out of the restroom I was surprised to see that the bartender that just couldn't manage to come to me the past 1/2 hour was now outside the bar. It appears that he was looking to see where I went, (to get the police that I was yelling for maybe) because when he saw I merely was coming out of the restroom, he appeared relieved and darted back to the bar. About 5 minutes later he said my card was back and I was surprised to see such a small bill for the amount of drinks that I had. I figured it was just to smooth over the delay, I even gave him a tip. End of story til the phone call from credit card company. Now I'm wondering why my credit card had to travel away from the bar before I was even ready to check out. You can imagine my recommendations for Alfreds.
