Beaches Sandy Bay All-Inclusive

Hotel Overview

Arrayed along Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach on Jamaica's west coast, this resort offers sun-fun and group activities for all ages. Guestrooms and suites feature two-poster mahogany beds and gracious touches such as crown molding and marble vanities. Toddlers and children enjoy supervised activities, adults dress-up dining. Sunbathing and water sports draw all to the beach. This All-Inclusive resort includes various amenities in the room price.

Location

Negril (Jamaica)
Jamaica’s casual west coast is blessed with the island’s whitest beaches. Towns are of limited interest but the beach scene more than compensates. Flower children have grown up, however clothing-optional beaches and lively nightlife remain. Sunsets light up the sky over the ocean, and coral reefs ensure top scuba and snorkeling.

Negril,
Jamaica

General information

What to expect: Born in Jamaica, the Beaches chain of resorts caters to families and kids with myriad activities available day and night and facilities designed for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. With the exception of two dress-code specialty restaurants, this 20-acre resort is laid-back casual and features open-air facilities cooled by ceiling fans. Tipping is not permitted.

Amenity highlights: Graced by almond and palm trees and furnished with lounge chairs and thatch shades, a 1,400-foot beachfront that runs 200 feet deep in places provides ample sunbathing and fun-and-games space on sand fine as sugar and nearly as white next to the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Complimentary kayaks, windsurfers, Hobie Wave sailboats, Sunfish sailboats, and snorkeling gear are available. Waterskiing, knee boarding, banana boating, and scuba diving and snorkeling excursions are also complimentary. A huge trampoline raft lies just off shore. An expansive main pool area includes a raised deck containing a 10-person ocean-view spa. A second, good-size pool lies in a quieter area. Both offer swim-up bars.

Insider tip: The resort's two specialty restaurants, one serving Jamaican cuisine, the other Japanese at teppanyaki-grill tables with chef/entertainers, strictly enforce a dress code: long pants, collared shirt, closed-toe leather shoes (no athletic shoes) for men, casual-elegant dress for women.

Property amenities

Open all day and into the night, a complimentary Kids Kamp offers supervised activities for children in three age groups: 0-to-3.5, 4-to-7, and 8-to-12. The camp features air-conditioned playrooms, an outdoor toddlers' pool, an expansive playground, miniature golf, pool tables in an open-air pavilion, and two air-conditioned video-game rooms.

Organized family activities at pools and on the beach are available all day, beginning with a morning power walk and including hat-making lessons, Latin dancing at a beach bandstand, "aqualympics" competitions, and parent-child scavenger hunts. After-dark activities include dancing in Nicole's Disco, staff-presented shows in the resort's amphitheater, karaoke, singalong piano gatherings, jazz and reggae sessions, limbo contests, and bingo.

An open-air fitness center offers free weights, cardio and weight machines, and an aerobics area. A round spa surrounded by a wood deck provides soaking space for 10 in a quiet courtyard outside the center. This area also includes a massage center and a beauty salon.
