Product Details

Worst Food I have ever had in my entire life!! By day 2 we refused to eat another meal here and had to pay to eat off property every meal! Pools were not clean so whenever you went in pool you were covered in black stuff! They advertise as having 9 restaurants yet only 2 are open a day.   Staff was nice but they are understaffed and under supplied.  Clearly management is a big issue!

Terrible! Worst Food of our lives!!

Honestly, not a 5 star. But it was lovely, the rooms we were in were right next to the entrainment, so don’t expect to sleep before 10pm if you’re by reception. Also, the room had a few black hairs in the shower and bed, the amount of flies on the balcony was unreal and we couldn’t use it - couldn’t do with some updating and lighting as there was hardly any! 

However, with that said, we did have a lovely time. The entertainment team do some great events and the food is nice. 90% of the staff are lovely and always try and make your stay special - special shout out to Jason (service), Jayjay (lifeguard), Paula (coffee shop) and Oshane. 

The location is perfect, but make sure you get up at 7am to find a sun lounger. It’s like Spain and this issue could be resolved by buying extra beds - actually shocked at this and I even complained as we payed a-lot of money and didn’t expect lack of beds. 

Overall, it was nice and we had a pleasant time

Nice holiday, staff and food were nice. Bring your own sun lounger though

This resort did not live up to my expectations for several reasons.
Mainly because it does not live up to the standard that they claim to have, maybe it has previously had a higher standard but at the moment I would give it 3 stars, no more. The majority of the staff are completely uninterested in being service minded.
Our stay at this hotel resort was a big disappointment, we had expected a higher standard considering the resort's price level.

Not worth the money

We got an excellent price for this property through our travel agent, along with another couple.  We bought the exact same pkg - they had a huge bathroom and shower area, and ours you could barely fit one person in.    It is an older property, which we were aware of when we booked.  It definitely in need of repairs but it was always clean.   Great value resort if you’re watching your money.    As always, you have to get up early and “reserve” your beach chairs with towels if you want a spot on the beach (seems like I’m back in HS), but it was also this way at a resort we visited in Punta Cana.   Service was “okay”, definitely not over the top and you had to go to them vs them coming to you.   We had a couple really nice gals in the buffet area who went above and beyond and we tipped accordingly.   If you’re expecting a grand experience here, you’ll be disappointed.  We all had a wonderful time regardless.

Underwhelming

Went to Negril Azul Beach resort with my family (4) + friends family of 6. In total we had 6 kids.
This resort is ok. Not very kid friendly or much to do for them.  Shows are non existent. Mostly just people singing or dancing. But there no stage no place to sit .

Activities are sub par. Again nothing for kids. We were approached on the beach to play games and when we got there no kids allowed. Not once someone came to around seeing the 6 kids to play volleyball,pass the balloon or dance like they did for the adults. They did one day foam party in the pool but that's all. Royalton had it almost every day + inflatable slides and so on for kids.

Food - food is sub par. All restaurants are not good. All kids didn't eat and adults weren't impressed. Every night we ended up at the buffet. Which is super small and often repeat. Lost count of how many pastas plates we had.

Room.. we stayed the previous year at the Royalton Negril but this year because there couland accomodate the big family we went to Azul. The family of 6 room was awesome. 2 levels.  Kids had a blast. The swim up we upgraded for family of 4 and again not impressed. There was a nail in the water. Lots of mosquitoes no lighting and no lounger area like the Royalton .
We were in building 12 and the end and you can hear the cars zooming like a loud highway all night. Had to get a white noise. It was unheard of. Walls are paper thin.

Beach. - beach is amazing. 7 mile beach can't go wrong although Jan 5-12 was alot of jelly fish. Kids didn't really like it as it hurt then alot.
Ecursion are cheap compared to Mexico etc.  
Staff does reserve beach chairs for everyone so although we got up early to get our own 6am they were always all taken.until the last day we found out the staff wants to be paid and puts towels down reserving it all. Very disappointing.

I'll give them points on their watersport. Unlike the Royalton Negril. Azul had catamarans , kayaks,paddle boards and boggie boards all for free.  Royalton had none in 2024.

Not for kids

Located on Negril's 7 miles beach stretch. The hotel brings together spacious facilities with unlimited activities and services. This beautiful property is designed to allow couples, groups, wedding parties, families and friends from all generations to re-connect under the sun. The luxurious rooms & suites are tastefully designed in contemporary Caribbean style. 

Whether you’re dreaming of a fun-filled family getaway or a romantic retreat, you’ll find your perfect island home-away-from-home right here. 90 Minutes on the North Coast from Sangester's International Airport in Montego Bay.
