We went to Sandals Negril for our weddingmoon on Nov. 11, 2012. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had a beautiful concierge level beachfront room on the 2nd floor overlooking the beach and it was breathtaking to open up the patio doors and walk out on the patio to see the beach and sun setting when we arrived! 
Our wedding was absolutely the wedding I dreamed about from the moment we decided to do a destination wedding. First of all the wedding co-ordinator gives you a date a few months ahead of your wedding date at which time she will contact you to go over the details of your wedding. Giselle was our wedding co-ordinator at Sandals in Negril and she is excellent! The day after we arrived we met with her and she went over every single wedding detail with us and booked the times for my hair/makeup appointments and our spas and everything for us when we met with her. Nothing went wrong and we were fully prepared for how the wedding would take place! It didn't feel like a standard wedding as they did everything in order for you to personalize it the way you want just for you as every wedding is different. They have 3 wedding locations to choose from (garden, beach or gazebo) and any request you have they will do whatever they can to see that it gets done. Josette was my hair/make-up stylist and I brought her a photo that I liked for my hairstyle and she did it perfectly and my make up looked amazing! I told Giselle that I had my father's watch with me (he passed away 4 years ago) and I wondered if we could somehow get it placed in the bouquet and she made sure that was done! Thank you Giselle! I also want to say thank you to Clintest and Gawayne for all your help with everything as well! Our photographer was Anthony and for us he was perfect! He was so hilarious which made us very comfortable and relaxed which made for beautiful pictures. He did every pose we wanted and more! The pictures he took were amazing and more than I ever hoped for! The people that work at Snapshots and put the albums together are The Best! Their photo albums are soooo beautiful and you can make as many changes as you need to until the photo album is exactly the way you like it! We booked a candlelight dinner on the beach and it was so beautiful too! 
The rest of the trip outside of our wedding day was the best! The servers at the Bayside restaurant start your day off just right as they are friendly and welcoming every day! They even knew what day we were leaving and gave me a big hug and said they hope we enjoy our last breakfast at Sandals that last day that we went down! I was blown away by this! The Bayside is the main restaurant you have your breakfast/lunches at and it is buffet style however we never had the same thing twice! Their buffet is not your typical buffet there are several stations available for whether you want hot cooked food or anything you want whether it is subs/wraps/salads/pastas/fruit smoothies whatever you crave they have! We went to every restaurant and Barefoot by the Sea was especially nice as you are right on the beach in a beautiful candlelit restaurant and the food was delicious! Our room was fully stocked every day with alcohol (awesome Jamaican Red Stripe beer and Appleton Rum) and cold drinks and the amazing Jamaican Blue mountain coffee! The bathroom was fine and the water pressure was great! I have seen alot of complaints about the water pressure in the showers but we had no problem at all however the water left your skin feeling very dry. We always had lots of hot water no matter what time day or night we showered. 
For water sports we had a blast on the Hobie cat! The sandals photograpers are almost everywhere on the property taking your pictures if you want and in the water and they took our pictures while we were out on the Hobie Cat. You just give them your room number and go to the Snapshots booth later to get your beautiful professional picture! We went snorkelling and Big Poppa and Smiley are the two that take you out. They are friendly and fun and also very safety conscious as our first trip out a tropical storm had passed through over night (not Hurricane Sandy) and made for a very rough surf. They kept a very careful eye on everyone going in the water and we ended up needing their help and they were able to foresee this even before we did. Thank you for everything! There was photographer on another one of our snorkelling trips who took beautiful pictures of us holding starfish and urchins. Smiley went down and brought up a puffer fish for us to hold. It was hilarious! We loved our snorkelling trips out and a big Huge Thank you to Big Poppa and Smiley! Mr Hollywood was our photographer on both the snorkelling trip and our Catamaran Cruise and he was the Best!! The Catamaran Cruise is a MUST!!! It is a beautiful huge Catamaran with lots of food and alcohol onboard. We went down to Rick's Cafe in Negril which is an infamous location where hundreds of people gather for the professional Cliff Jumping that you can watch and you can also jump off the lower cliff's yourself if you like. There is a restaurant/bar there as well and gift shops too. We swam around the cliff area here too and the water was beautiful. Oh and to our surprise there was another catamaran there with the people from Hedonism II on it so we got to see some extra sights! Then we stopped at Negrils' Margaritaville on our way back to Sandals. The sunset was beautiful as always but it was just that much better while sitting on the deck of this beautiful Catamaran sipping on a drink while holding the one you love. 
Overall I would say this trip was above my expectations and we already booked to go back at the Soon Come Back desk before we left. I have to say I read alot of reviews over the past few months prior to leaving and some made me feel so excited and others made me concerned but honestly I have to say I can't see why anyone would complain about anything at Sandals Negril. The people go out of their way to see that you are enjoying yourself and all your needs are taken care of. The only complaint I have now is that I won't be able to go anywhere else other than a Sandals resort after the way we were spoiled!
Thank you to everyone at Sandals Negril! .
