Legends Beach Resort

This place is a complete dump. We were scheduled to be in a garden room. The garden room was located across the street from the main motel. Yes, motel. This is not a hotel or a resort. The motel has a metal gate to enter so when you cross the street to go to the beach you have to get security to open the gate. The décor is old. There are a total of 50 rooms. 25 on one side of the street and 25 on the other side. No rooms are ocean front. No rooms face the ocean. We upgraded and paid to be on the other side of the street, closer to the ocean. However, the area inside the gate was muddy and messy. The rooms were like early 80s décor. The motel is two story very old looking. We decided to leave. I usually do not leave bad reviews but this place was awful. So bad that I left and booked a room at an actual resort for my week stay. So bad, I was willing to take the entire hotel stay loss, which I did. I was not refunded by the motel and was told no to any refund. I was not refunded by Cheap Caribbean as to date. The pictures make this place look manageable or OK, but that is misleading. Don't make the mistake I did, which is thinking the price is really good. There is a reason it is cheaper than every other place. Spend a little more to make sure you have a wonderful trip. Don't stay here.

Everything was as expected and more , Go down to the coffee shop & holla at “G” for all your needs he’s so helpful & trustworthy. I barely was at the resort but everyone was nice & welcoming . I loved the beach & the food & ppl next door at Taboo i will be back soon

Solid 3.5 star hotel...read a few reviews that had me nervous, but I really enjoyed this hotel, Yes, it may be a little older, but besides the fancy lobbies at some big resorts ( I stayed at the RIU Montego Bay last time) it was really the same furnitures in the room, bathroom was a bit more updated at the RIU, but that was it. We stayed on the beach side and view from my balcony was beautiful! Everyone was friendly and helpful, the happy hour at the bar was amazing, took a trip over to the sister resort, LOVED IT as well, jumped off the cliffs! We will be back...I loved this little hotel..bottom line it has everything you need in the room, and a few things you want...Bring a beach towel or buy one on the beach, bring your own soap etc ( I always do anyways) and Enjoy..its Jamaica mon

We had a great time in Negril and recommend Legends Beach Resort to anyone seeking an adventure. I will say though, Negril was not what we expected at all. We expected a laid back chill time, but it is actually very fast paced. Initially we were shocked and a little disappointed but with a day or so to adjust our expectations, we decided to go with the flow. This is my one BIG piece of advice for anyone looking for a vacation in Negril with Legends. We found that Legends throws you head first into Jamaica with little to shelter you like the big resorts do, can you say "culture shock?" If you are looking for something laid back and touristy go to Sandals or the more secluded Samsara Resort. These smaller resorts give you a better idea of what Jamaica is all about and looking back I'm glad our first experience was more authentic. Our room at first glance wasn't much to write home about, two beds, a toilet and shower (worked most of the time) a desk and chair and a night stand. Simple with little flair. We didn't plan to hang out in the room very much though anyway. The staff was great and we always had fresh towels and clean sheets to come home to! The staff were very responsive and always had a smile on their faces. The food in Negril was great, we had issues at the resort finding vegan and vegetarian options but with a little poking around and talking with locals we found some really great places along the main road and beach to eat. If you are staying at Legends I highly recommend the Cafe Goa down the street, it is run by locals and has tons of options for both veggie and meat folks. We also found a little place right on the beach called RastaAde Refreshments, try the veggie platter and the rasta lemonade! We found that it's a lot cheaper to eat local as well, so get out there! On our last day we took a catamaran boat ride over to Rick's Cafe, we should have just stayed on the boat, drank Red Stripe and enjoyed the sunset, because Rick's is absolutely NOT our style. It was so crowded you could barely walk around, no seating to be found AND the food was terrible and seriously overpriced. All we heard the whole time we were in Jamaica was "You HAVE to go to Rick's Cafe!" So needless to say we were very disappointed. If you want to overpay for bad food and stand in theme park ride-style lines for absolutely everything, Rick's is your spot! Once we were back on the boat we had a great time though, the water and sunset were amazingly beautiful and we saw a couple wild dolphins pop up out of the water! We pulled back into shore met with a huge beach bonfire. This was our first trip internationally so it was a huge learning experience and the culture shock was intense. Having said that, I would definitely recommend Negril, Legends, and Cheap Caribbean to anyone looking for an adventure away from the highly Americanized touristy resorts. We will be booking again!
