    Best kept secret in Negril! We were there for 4 days in May 2018. Absolutely beautiful property. The hotel is small - only 35 rooms, but the rooms are gorgeous! We were on the top floor. Our room had a beautiful wood detail, that went into a "peak-like temple" structure. The light colored walls with the dark hard wood floors make the room modern and sleek. The bathrooms were spotless and beautifully decorated. Very modern with clean lines and nice decor. The staff were great. Everyone very friendly and accommodating. Being that the hotel is small, the staff os dedicated to you and making sure that your every need is met. The hotel is located directly on 7 Mile Beach, so you have full access to the beach and it's beautiful ocean! Unfortunately, we went during their rainy season, so we did not get as much sun as I wanted, but we made the best of it. We had plenty of sun in the morning, so we got as much beach time in as possible before the clouds rolled in. The food at the hotel was great. Everything fresh, seasoned well and taste delicious! And don't get me started on the drinks! They make sure that you are nice and "toasty" when they make your drinks! They are definitely not stingy when it comes to the alcohol. Safety is not a concern. The resort is secured 24-7 with a guard at the locked gate all the around the clock. If you are not a trusted taxi driver, you cannot get into the gate. And being that the resort is small, the staff and security get to know who you are pretty quickly. So if you are a stranger on the property, they will definitely know you don't belong there and will escort you out! Overall I give the small luxury boutique resort 5 stars because of the ambiance, staff, location and rooms. I will DEFINITELY return to Negril - and when I do Sandy Haven is where I will be staying! Side note- if you are looking for a more inclusive (all drinks and meals included) Sandy Haven is not for you. You get a continental breakfast with a drink every morning, but that is it. Everything else has to be paid for.

    This is the place to stay to experience Negril casual chic mixed with a sense sometimes of not even being at a hotel, but something so much less sterile and much more inviting. The beach and rooms are meticulously kept, and comfortable (you find it hard to tear yourself away from either) and I am obsessed with their robes. My only complaint is that I don't know where to get one of those robes! And maybe that my water wasn't scalding as I like it, but I'm just splitting hairs at that point

    The hotel is right on beach with beautiful sunsets.The staff is outstanding , especially Tyrone the chef .He cooked special meals for my husband who cannot eat salt .Stephan ,Romeo and all the others took great care of us at the bar.Nice casual lunches which are prepared to order.
    The people at the beach are very friendly and interesting from all over the US .mostly middle aged with a few younger couples Everyone interacts if you want to meet people
    Get an ocean front room if possible.
    If improvements continue to rooms, this will be a five star hotel someday .not there yet.The biggest draw back is the septic tank odors at times in the bathrooms, mostly in evenings .That has to be fixedotherwise a great place to stay.Well be back for sure been to Jamaica over twenty times..best vacations in the Caribbean.

    Although my wife and I have been here many times, Sandy Haven never disappoints! Many thanks to the wonderful staff and management for a truly top-notch experience. Fabulous food, atmosphere, and lodging is par for the course for this boutique gem! They all made my birthday weekend a joy and I would recommend staying here for your next visit to Negril, Jamaica!

    This is an amazing boutique hotel that is centrally located on the 7-mike beach in Negril. It’s walking distance to several eateries, spas, shops and snorkeling tours. The restaurant and bar on site is really good and we ate or drank there at least once a day during our 8 day stay. The rooms are updated with cold AC units and the views from our room were breathtaking. The staff is top notch in regards to ensuring your experience is pleasurable and there is a small shop on site that sells basic toiletries and snacks—shout out to Pops! I would recommend booking excursions through the services offered at the hotel. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very professional. Their transport shuttles are clean and updated and the drivers are all very helpful—shout out to Mr. Purkiss, your conversation about Jamaican culture, politics, music and recommendations made our van trips that much more complete.

    Sandy haven is an exceptional resort. The staff is warm and inviting and the environment is clean and relaxing. The rooms are elegant and the food is quite delightful.
    Whether relaxing on the beach or in the jacuzzi, or dining at the bongos restaurant or even playing a bit of pool to pass the time. Sandy haven is always refreshing. I will definitely be returning

    Stayed here in April 2017. The room was nice w a lovely balcony, huge changing area, and comfy bed. The continental breakfast was delightful with fresh fruit and bread. Sat right on the beach every morning and enjoyed the view. Bongos restaurant served a delicious meal for dinner so take advantage! There's a pool, gym, outdoor massage and hot tub that were usually empty. The staff was welcoming and friendly but one of those waitresses ripped me off in Jamaican dollars *Be careful* 😡😡😡😡
    On one of the busiest main roads where they travel 80mph on a slow day. Right across from the Best Jerk chicken and patties shop in Negril.

    This resort is just what I love. Clean with courteous staff. Food is pretty good. The bed is a little firmer than usual, but I actually like that. The shower good temperature. And I loved the soaking tub. I would come here again. Felt security was good enough for solo vacation here.

    We just got back and we LOVED this place! Smaller, more intimate boutique hotel with all the privacy and service you could want. Fair prices on the food and drinks. Its in a fantastic location with more excellent food options in very close walking distance. When we go back to Jamaica we will definitely be staying here again. Also, anything you need, anything you want, just ask Pops. He will take care of you.

    This is marketed as a luxury resort.

    We booked in for our honeymoon as we wanted to stay at a luxury boutique hotel that we thought would provide a friendly service and possibly a ‘feel good factor’ that would be nicer than staying at a chain.

    Firstly, it was disappointing that the email sent by my husband was disregarded and nothing was done on the first night to acknowledge that it was our honeymoon.

    ‘Luxury’ is a term that should be commonly understood, it means ‘state of great comfort and extravagant living’, so it is very disappointing that the following has happened.

    ï‚· To have to experience a particular front desk staff member argue with me about the bath flooding. Her argumentative and defensive attitude was compounded by the fact that she lied about what she said on the phone, with my husband listening, versus what was said face to face in front of the manager. This particular staff member told me that there was no one to complain to because the manager had gone home and that complaining about a flood caused by the bath would have to wait until the next day.

    We were adamant that the manager should be called and she did so reluctantly, but not before telling my husband, who is a HR Director, that she has no job title, no responsibility and that there was no one around to deal with our needs.

    ï‚· The bath leaked and flooded the room twice. The second time was in the middle of the night, when I had not had a bath. The room became extremely humid and I am sure added to the mosquito issue. On top of this, I am extremely upset that the humidity has affected my Ralph Lauren bag!

    ï‚· To have to ask for towels numerous times, after the second flood, and then have to walk to front desk to get some

    ï‚· The Wifi was excruciatingly slow, it is as bad as dial-up

    ï‚· The room has cracks in the wall

    ï‚· The fan was not maintained and had to be fixed after I complained about it making a noise and waking my from my sleep during the night

    ï‚· The toilet seat was ill fitting

    ï‚· The water was off/had run out one morning

    ï‚· You ran out of callaloo and I could not enjoy a Jamaican breakfast

    ï‚· Dead mosquitos on the seating in the restaurant the morning that breakfast was served indoors

    ï‚· Is it normal for the bed top sheets to not be changed for the 2-3 days?

    ï‚· We know that the tree cutting that started at about 6 am was not on your property but it was another really irritating occurrence.

    The couple beds on the beach were old and dirty and we had planned to rent one, but realised there was no point, we did not see anyone else taking up the opportunity either. The decking had slats missing.

    Thank you for the apology, and the turndown/honeymoon service that was provided on the second night, the room overall is gorgeous and is similar to your photos online. The food is excellent and compliments should really be given to the cooks and chef.

    You really should look into getting better parking facilities as we did not appreciate being woken up at 7 am (after getting back last night at 2 am) to move the car so someone else could leave the property.

    The wifi was painfully slow

    As someone who has stayed at nearly every hotel on the famous Negril strip, this is by far THE best if you are not looking for the commercial feel of an all-inclusive. Rooms are nice and bathrooms are spacious. Elegant restaurant and amenities to include spa and hot tub.
