About Sandals Negril

Sandals' most laid-back Jamaican property, spread along the best stretch of Negril's Seven-Mile Beach. It's adults-only and couples-focused, with a swim-up pool bar, fire-pit dining, and included scuba and water sports. The vibe is barefoot and easygoing rather than buttoned-up. Best November through April.
