Beaches Negril 03/11/2003
Reviewers Rating: Fair
When we arrived in Jamaica we were informed that our ìconfirmedî hotel, Sandals Montego Bay, was ìsold outî, so they were moving us (a party of four) to Beaches Negril. Hello?? Doesnít a confirmation mean the same thing in Jamaica? Furthermore, Sandals Montego Bay is a ìcouples onlyî resort and Beaches is a ìfamilyî resort, not exactly the same vacation experience. For our inconvenience, we were promised honeymoon suites. Of course after a 90+ minute bus ride we arrived at Beaches Negril, to find ourselves in, you guessed it, standard rooms. After MUCH, complaining and getting nowhere we decided to try to make the best of a very frustrating situation.
The food was good. The dining room service was fine. However, the special restaurants, all two of them, were closed on certain nights.
The rooms were average looking. My sisterís toilet was constantly backing up. Her and her husband had to use our bathroom several times while theirs was under constant repair. My husband never got his computer up and running because no one at the front desk could help him get an outside line. He finally gave up.
Bottom line, when the staff asks if everything is all right, the ONLY answer they want to hear is YES. Otherwise, get ready for the olí run around! I doubt weíll go back to Jamaica but if we do, we wonít be staying at Sandals or Beaches!
