Negril Beach Club Resort

NICE BEACH, GOOD DEAL ON THE LOBSTER DINNER ON 1/2 PRICE NITE @ THE HOTEL REST.NOTHING TO FANCY BUT O. K.

If what you really want is the luxury of Sandals, this is not the place for you. But if you want to relax on a beautiful beach, in simple but clean accommodations, at an unbeatable price, I don't know how you could do better. There were small things wrong - like the stove didn't work when we arrived - but they in no way detracted from our appreciation of a beautiful, friendly, low-key place. The staff are extremely friendly,l and concerned that each guest is having a good stay. I would gladly stay there again.

When we arrived at Negril Beach Club it was overbooked. We got the last room that was uninhabitable. Serious electrical problems I could go on and on. I have been to Negril many times and know what to expect. Some people wated to all hours of the night and were transferred to another property on the cliffs when they expected beach. If you book here do it through Gene Glynar at Negril Beach club condos. She will see that you get what you need. [...]will get you the bottom of the barrel. Otherwise as always Negril was wonderful.

We had a great holiday in this nice hotel directly at the famous 7-mile beach in Negril. The room was clean and was equipped with all you can expect for this money (2 Queen sized beds, TV, microwave, porch). Even though there were no dining options (seasonal) in the hotel, it was easy to find restaurants in the surrounding area (5-10minute walk on the beach). The city center of Negril (more restaurants + supermarkets) is in a walking distance of about 10-15min. All in all the place is a good deal if you have only a small budget!

We were given a shabby room on our first night, not at all what we had booked. We were switched, after asking, the next day, not to the type room booked, but better. Adequate AC, microwave didn't work, bathroom sink barely drained. No screens or mosquito netting, though there were few bugs, so not a big deal at this time of year. Housekeeping barely adequate, paid $3.00 per day for use of the inroom safe whch offset the $20.00 key deposit. Not enough chairs on the beach, towels available at a cost for the beach. The restaurant was adequate, the pool and bar a joke. The beach was kept clean, but far too many hustlers and drug dealers who don't take no for an answer. Security fairly ineffective in controlling this. Our room was noisy, right next to a parking lot and barking dogs. On site convenience store ill stocked and expensive. Staff relatively friendly, but not overly helpful or informed. I guess you get what you pay for, but I wouldn't stay here again.

The Negril Beach Club's location directly on beach is great and easy walking distance to the town center. Their variety of upgraded(or not)units, staff services and NBC's ability to deliver what was promised when you booked, bounced all over the place. Just don't arrive with expectations of a high end Sandals-like resort atmosphere, you get what you pay for. Since Negril Beach Club was packed full due to the holidays, I had to 'negotiate' with the NBC staff before we finally got the balcony studio w/kitchenette I booked thru [...]. The porter first lead us through a balcony studio w/kitchen and thru an adjoining door to get into 'our' unit because the lock on our unit's outside entrance was broken? Unit C10 was just a room with 2 double beds, one window, no balcony and the broken lock entrance was to a back alley/parking lot. When I said we were supposed to have a balcony, he pointed to a solid wood plank door which had an overstuffed chair in front of it and said the balcony was thru there?? So I said what about a TV, fridge and MW? He said Oh, they would bring those in tomorrow. I asked where are they going to put them when there was barely room to unpack our suitcases, trying to make the point this was not going to be acceptable. He then said this room was only for tonight (which the front desk had failed to make clear), and that a balcony studio with 2 beds would open tomorrow. Then he said wait a minute, let me check. He came back 2 min later and led us back into the studio adjoining the 2 bed room. He said this can now be your room. While C11 only had one double bed instead of two, there was an A/C, TV, in-room safe, patio and a full kitchen. Persistence pays off, so stick to your guns until you get an agreeable compromise between what you paid for and what they say is available. I don't think our experience was isolated. The next day when I was at the front desk getting beach towels, a couple came in asking what time a 1 bedroom would be available today. While the staff was checking, they said when they arrived they were told there was no room for 3 days. NBC moved them into another hotel,no beach,on a hillside above downtown Negril, even though they had paperwork to prove they'd booked NBC online. So overbooking seems quite common here. NBC's complex consists of about eight 3-story buildings in a U shape that opens directly onto the beach. Some of their buildings, patios/balconies seem better situated/updated than others. Their pool is rather small but adequate. The hot tub is surrounded by lovely greenery. Neither were sparkling clear and coulda used a little more chlorine or a drain & water change. But with the fantastic beach & ocean NBC has, we didn't use either. NBC has a beach bar and a very good restaurant, Lingahs by the Sea. There are security guys and a chain across the front entrance plus other guards watch the beach, so we felt safe. Lots of families with kids stayed in the 2-bedroom condo units. FYI - NBC requires a $20 US deposit on the room key. Another $50 US deposit if you want a key to use the in-room safe, plus a daily charge of $3 US. Our kitchen had a full-sized fridge, stove, sink, MW, toaster and basic dishes, flatware, pans, etc. The freezer had an unbelievable 6 ice cube trays in it (there are no ice machines, so this is a big plus). We had no problems drinking the tap water at NBC or other Negril establishments. The shower always had hot water. Our A/C & cable TV worked well. To me Cleanliness is the deal maker or breaker. Our ground level unit had no problems with bugs. Yeah, our tub finish was dull with wear marks in it, but when I ran my fingernail over the surface, it was clean. The dull finish was from decades of being scrubbed. The sheets were older, a little dingy but of good quality thread count. Our maid made up the room each day. We left her a tip each day. Looked to me like NBC had about the widest and deepest beach of the places we saw on Negril's 7 Mile Beach. NBC's beach...

Well I reserved a studio with two queen/double beds, when i got there the first day I got a smaller room with bugs and one bed... they then moved us to a another room becauIse I demanded to be moved, and the room was a bit better but, I was told that I would only be there for one night and the next day i would be moved again. I was unable to unpack and settle in and start my vacation a day before new years eve. The 2nd day there I was told in the front that i would be moved to a smaller room just for one night and on my 3rd night i would be moved to my room for the rest of my trib, mind you it was only for 5 night. They expressed that the hotel was over booked. I told the front that i can not be moving around so they upgraded me to a 1 bed room, but since we were 4 to a room two had to sleep on the sofa bed aka the death bed... the living room only had shutters which ment you heard everything out side... it was so nosey, on my third day I had to pay extra to ger another room...

NBCC Hotel rooms are comfortable and clean nothing fancy two double beds some rooms have a sofa or chair. Our first room t.v did not work ok with me but not for my 17 and 16. It's time for some remodeling but if your not looking for fluf it is cheap rates and right on the best beach. The waters where a little rough this time of the year but the beach was still great. the food a Lingah was great we had the Christmas buffet which was good made to order omeltes Im glad the resturant is new and improved because previously it was horrible food. there is always service with a smile we asked for a different room and got it no problem I was just there back in October so it always nice to bve remembered and the staff is good at that house keeping was very helpful my daughter needed alchol for a bite and she told her they kept some at the front desk they allowed her to use it. The pool attendent was good too asked about the jacuzzi not being hot and he got some one to come fix it before we left and he let us know when it was ready for us to use. Overall it's a 2* hotel but in great location if you want fancy stay at Grand Palladium..

The hotel is basic. The rooms are run down, but the location is great, right on the seven mile beach and close to fun in the evening. You need to get used to a constant stream of touts while on the beach, but they are really friendly even if they are persistant and sometimes annoying. The small beach restaurant have decent breakfast and brunch. Activities include, snorkling, sunbathing, horseback riding, watching the sunset at Rick's.

The Hotel was old but clean, nice people.
