Royalton Negril

Rooms & Grounds: gorgeous, well kept, clean, spacious, always able to find a shady spot on beach. Everything is very close. All rooms have ocean view and are roomy. Maid service was exceptional. Lobby is expansive with plenty of comfy seating and stunning views. Escalater down so you don't have to walk a buch of steps to get to beach. Very automated...you can order anything from your TV..very convenient :) Note: There are 2 sections you cannot enter unless you are diamond club or hideaway. Beach: went right before rainy season and not sure if that is why but water was wavy and not clear but still had fun snorkling and saw plenty of fish, crabs, hermit crabs, & snails. Beach is well kept and there are lots of places to sit in shade and sun. Where we went the beach was very narrow which I like (no long walk to the waters edge). There are rocky sections where it is especially good for snorkling and exploring but bring water shoes if you want to walk there. Service: Everyone is nice and friendly. Checkin was the best I have EVER encountered. Very impressive! I would have given a 3 for service if had not been for the efficient check in process. In general the service is hit or miss. If its not crowded you will get fabulous service. But if its crowded like at the buffett you may get no service at all. You have to be patient. Room service was quick and easy. Food: Breakfast at buffet was excellent. Lots of choice and always had smoked salmon yummy! Lunch also has many options. I'm not a foodie and I can usually find something wherever I go so I was happy with the buffet but I think it was not as good as some of the other resorts. Tried 2 restaurants. Calypso (west indies). Loved the crab cake app and coconut crusted salmon and whipped sweet potatoes so much went back again. The shrimp pot was good too but there were several other items that were not very good. Like the patties. The Zen Japanese was not good at all. Jerk hut was excellent and room service food was decent fast food (pizza, chicken fingers etc) Drinks are good but not too strong. Gelato shop is great for coffee and sweets but expect to possibly have a long wait unless you get luck and no one is there. Entertainment: Sadly this is where the resort is really lacking. I have been to at least 5 all inclusive resorts and always enjoyed the shows. These were a BIG disappointment. These shows were horrible with the exception of the circus show which we really liked. Not grandiose but some very impressive acrobatics. There is no piano player in the lounge which most resorts have an I missed that :( . They did have a live band at the outdoor bar every night that was good. The teen club is small but clean and good working equipment (1 ping pong table, 1 billiard, 1 air hockey, 1 foos ball) but it closes at 9:00 pm every night so kind of useless if you have a teen. All in all, had a nice and relaxing time and a lovely room with amazing views.

I visited memorial weekend And I have ZERO COMPLAINTS! The staff was kind from the moment we arrived to the time we departed. The rooms are spacious and beautiful. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO IF YOUR IN NEGRIL JAMAICA PLEASE IGNORE ALL THR NEGATIVE REVIEWS IM GLAD I DID. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time and We will be going back for sure.

This was my first vacation in about 10 years. Soon as I got off the bus at the resort I was handed a cool face towel and a drink. All the time seeing the blue aqua water. checking in was no problem. I choose the swim out room and let me tell you, you have to do it at least once, amazing. The room, beautiful, no complaints about anything. The mini fridge was stocked with soda, wata,(that's how they spell it) and beer. After settling in for about an hour or so, it was in my pool. The pool is about 4 1/2 feet or a lil bit more. I am 6'3, It was perfect for me. You can do laps, or just wade in the water. The food choices, something for everybody. 5 or so different restaurants. the have a sports bar that's stays open till 2am. all inclusive drinks. I did a couple of the activities, but really u could stay at the resort and have a great time. I will be going back again, maybe this year.

I booked this vacation as s birthday gift for my boyfriend it was an excellent choice. The grounds is beautiful, well kept. The staff is attentive and friendly. We were part of the diamond club and our butlers were fantastic. They made sure we were comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
