Beaches Jamaica: A Review of the Beaches Negril Resort in Jamaica
If you're thinking of booking an upcoming stay at the Beaches Jamaica resort in Negril, keep reading for a full review of the resort and its facilities.
Very Kid-Friendly
If you're looking for a quiet romantic week with your partner or a subdued relaxation vacation, then Beaches Jamaica may not be for you. This five-star resort is very kid-friendly – meaning it's perfect for families and kids are in abundance.
The resort offers a child daycare service, daily activities for kids, children play areas, story time, Sesame Street shows and events, water slides, face painting, and tours that are geared towards kids.
In an effort to lure families to the resort, Beaches Negril has amped up its offerings for kids and now offers facilities and programs for toddlers, children and teens.
At times, the resort can seem a little too kid-friendly. There are characters from Sesame Street running around and numerous acres devoted to kid's playgrounds and facilities. However, if you're a parent, this can be a great way to just enjoy the beach and rest safe knowing your children are entertained and cared for.
Great Fitness Center
If you're a fitness buff, this is going to be a huge draw. Beaches Negril has an incredible fitness center along with numerous daily aerobic classes ranging from the low-impact water aerobics to high-energy kickboxing.
Numerous A La Carte Restaurants
Anyone who has spent a week at any all-inclusive resort knows that the same buffet night after night can get tired after a while. To avoid food boredom, finding a resort with numerous a la carte restaurants is key. Jamaica Negril offers 6 restaurants ranging from a beachside cafe to fine and elegant dining.
Beach is Too Open
Probably the biggest complaint from guests is that they are constantly barraged by people on the beach selling their goods and wares. While most tourists want to buy a few items during their stay, constantly being barraged by vendors does not make an ideal vacation.
Rooms are Small
Unless you're opting for a deluxe suite or large room, you'll find the accommodations pretty small at Beaches Negril Jamaica. That said, if you're sharing one room amongst a family of four, you may want to consider upgrading to a larger room.
The Final Word
Overall, Beaches Jamaica is a great resort for families looking for a fun vacation that will keep both parents and kids happy. The rooms are small though, so if there are four of you, you may want to look into a larger option. Also, this is not a resort for couples or honeymooners.
