Beaches Negril: Jamaica’s #1 All-Inclusive Resort Perfect for Families

Last summer, I returned to Beaches Negril with my mom, wife, and lively four-year-old twins. We spent the day on a resort day pass, and while I had fond memories of working here as a restaurant manager a decade ago, the resort’s transformation was beyond impressive. Beaches Negril has evolved into a true family haven, and it was a joy to experience it this time as a guest.

Family Fun in the Sun

Our day began with excitement as the kids took in the gorgeous surroundings. While they spent about an hour at the Kids Club enjoying Sesame Street® activities, we took the chance to explore the resort and relax. The Kids Club, though brief, gave them a fun taste of the resort’s thoughtful programming for little ones, including arts, crafts, and playtime with characters like Elmo and Big Bird.

For the rest of the day, we played together on the stunning seven-mile white sand beach that Beaches Negril calls home. The clear turquoise waters were shallow and calm—perfect for kids. We built sandcastles, collected shells, and took refreshing dips in the sea. Watching my twins splash and giggle in the warm Caribbean waters was pure joy. The beach is expansive, giving families plenty of space to spread out and relax without feeling crowded.

Exploring the Upgrades

During a quick tour of the resort, I was amazed at the updates. The new Fire Sky Reserve Villas and Eventide Penthouses take family accommodations to a whole new level. These luxurious options are perfect for families or groups, offering spacious layouts, private pools, rooftop terraces, and stunning beachfront views.

The Fire Sky Reserve Villa, for example, features three floors of tropical elegance with private patios and ample room for families to relax. The Eventide Penthouses, with their chic design and breathtaking rooftop spaces, are ideal for creating unforgettable family moments. Beaches Negril has redefined family-friendly luxury with these additions, and it’s clear they’ve thought of every detail.

A Culinary Adventure

One of the most exciting updates for me was the new dining options. Having worked at the resort in the past, I know how important food is to the Beaches experience, and they’ve truly outdone themselves.

Our culinary journey started with a stop at the Jerk Shack, where we enjoyed authentic Jamaican jerk chicken and pork. The smoky spices transported me back to the island’s rich food culture. Later, we indulged in fresh sushi at Soy, a chic restaurant offering expertly prepared sushi and sashimi.

A delightful surprise was Yaku, a new Peruvian dining option. The flavors were vibrant and unique, showcasing the resort’s commitment to offering diverse and high-quality cuisine. For dessert, we treated ourselves at Café de Paris, a charming French café with pastries, ice creams, and cappuccinos.

Whether you crave international cuisine, authentic island flavors, or indulgent desserts, Beaches Negril ensures that every meal is a treat for the whole family.

Activities for All Ages

Beyond the beach, Beaches Negril offers endless activities to keep everyone entertained. The Pirates Island Waterpark, a highlight for families, features thrilling slides, a lazy river, and splash zones. While we didn’t spend much time at the waterpark on this visit, it’s an attraction I highly recommend for families.

For water sports enthusiasts, the resort offers complimentary activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Teens have their own space at the Trench Town Teen Center, complete with games and a laid-back vibe, while adults can enjoy the luxurious Red Lane® Spa or simply unwind with a cocktail at one of the resort’s many bars.

The resort’s nightly entertainment also stands out, with family-friendly shows, live music, and themed events like Jamaica Day and the Carnival Beach Party. These experiences add to the vibrant atmosphere, making every evening as exciting as the day.

Why Beaches Negril Stands Out

Beaches Negril is more than just a resort—it’s a destination that caters to every member of the family. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed into a world of fun, luxury, and relaxation. The resort’s commitment to providing exceptional service and experiences is evident in every detail, from its eco-friendly initiatives to its Certified Autism Center™ designation.

Whether you’re relaxing on the beach, enjoying gourmet dining, or making memories with your kids, Beaches Negril offers something for everyone. The resort’s ability to blend luxury with family-friendly amenities is what truly sets it apart.
