Excellent location on Negril beach! Cute little boutique hotel! Clean! Very friendly staff! We were there in the off season, June. It was quiet and the restaurant was closed, following the breakfast service. Spa was also closed. Lots of options nearby though for food and massages! Our goal was relaxation and we accomplished the task! The waters here are amazing! Saw a stingray right off the beach and definitely recommend the bioluminescence lagoon tour!

The staff are very friendly - but sparse. It was a once lovely property with a great location on the beach. While the rooms are lovely (ocean view), the pool needs maintenance and the hot tub broken.

It is clear the owners are not properly maintaining it - the cabanas are rotting with moldy mattresses. The once beautiful hanging lights near the beach front is a hodgepodge of broken lights. The whole property needs a paint job.

Morning coffee service is non-existent. Beachfront bar hours were a mystery. It wasn’t clear if the restaurant was open.

These are all relatively easy fixes that wouldn’t cost a fortune. It seems the owners aren’t willing to invest in what should be a full &’successful boutique resort on Seven Mile Beach. I truly hope they figure it out soon.

The property was very quiet and relaxing. The staff was very nice especially cleaning ladies and front desk clerk Adasia. The security guy for gate was very helpful . The swimming pool guy also nice .

I sent emails prior to coming to negril , no one answered them for transfer from air port to hotel . However thank you JUTA TOURS IN AIRPORT they got us safely to resort .

The continental breakfast was only WARM watermelon and two Pieces of pineapple with two mini muffins and 4 slices of toast . You have to purchase your actual breakfast if you want eggs and a meat, However there was almost 85% of menu they did not have .
So you were left to go outside the resort to
Eat breakfast .

The restaurant on resort was closed the entire time if we wanted to stay on resort . Thank goodness for the next door resort coco lapalm for our first night there so we can get something to eat after our 1.5 hour travel to negril from airport .

The pool did not look kept at all , very dirty . Which was discouraging from indulging . The beach access was amazing however the bedside beds was unkept dirty and broken .

The bedrooms was clean and tv was good ! Balcony was cool place to reset after the excursions , or do tiktoks!

Overall the experience in Negril was good ! The resort experience was lackluster and left you yearning for more .

Please do some upgrades and/ or sell to someone that will market and maintain the property. The location is top tier ! You are missing out on a lot

This is not a hotel I would recommend! Staff are very unprofessional and need further training.
Check in is at 15:00pm, we arrived at 14:55pm, then had to wait 40 minutes for a room. I was advised that I would get upgraded to an ocean view room. Unfortunately this was not honoured, I was given a room over looking a dirty swimming pool! Then the icing on the cake was we were provided with dirty towels. I asked to speak to a manager about the matters, the staff was rude then had a handyman act as manager. If he was a manager his presentation was not of a manager. He wore a dirty yellow t shirt, jeans and dirty trainers. He was not helpful and the matter was not resolved, we was still provided with dirty towels.

The resort was cleam and the staff were great. The problem with Sandy Haven is that the owner is not keeping up with day to day cost that keep a resort running smoothly. This is apparent from not having ice at the bar or even an ice machine (sometimes no red stripe), the front restaurant, Bongos, is closed and hot tub is covered up or out of service. The manager, Mr. Wright, is doing everything he can to make things work however with no funds avaiable to him that becomes impossible. The price should come down significantly. Not worth the money we spent.

Rooms were large with the attached patio, bedroom, separate basin area then the toilet and shower. Ours of course could use some updating but it was everything we needed. It was kept tidy by the staff.

Hotel is situated in the middle of seven mile beach which is nice and easy for walking either direction.

The biggest issue was the lack of food available at the resort. The breakfast was eggs on two days out of seven. Then just bacon and toast. Also they ran out of ice for several days.

Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs with in their hotels very limited services.

We stayed at the property for a week in June. Let's start with the good. SH staff is exceptional, professional, friendly, and more than the ownership deserves. They did their absolute best under the circumstances. Special shout out to Edward, Ron, Raffie, Chantal, and Keon, but the entire staff was awesome. Ownership needs to step up their game as far as property maintenance. Especially considering the price point. During our previous stays in 2017 and 2018 the property was immaculate and fresh. Today, it is worn down.
Issues with the room(s). We arrived to a room with no AC in the middle of June. One of the double sinks was not operating correctly. Once Edward, the front desk attendant, managed to resolve the issue with the AC, we discovered that while it was functioning it would not adjust. The room quickly became the artic tundra. No hot water as the hotel was waiting on a gas delivery that day. Hot water was either non existent or inconsistent throughout our stay.
Day 2. Ron was kind enough to upgrade us to an ocean front room! He was attentive to our issues and incredibly responsive.
Room upgrade. Wifi on the TV was a constant struggle when it worked. The door did not have a door knob, so opening/closing and locking the door was another struggle. The AC while functioning leaked causing a bubble in the paint that eventually exploded all over my bed. The ocean front view was blocked by unkempt trees (so glad i didn't actually pay for it).

This was my first trip to Jamaica; therefore, I have no comparisons with other hotels. My stay was also during the off-season, so I do not know what would have been different. The staff were friendly and willing to address any concerns. I'm not a pessimistic, nitpicking individual, and I did not go looking for deficiencies or for everything to be as accommodating as in the U.S. I went to Negri and Sandy Haven Resort to enjoy the experience, my friends, and have a relaxing vacation. That is exactly what I did! I hope to return.

I recently completed my third stay at Sandy Haven, and while I’ve had great experiences in the past, this visit was unfortunately disappointing.

Previously, beach security—especially Sinclair—helped ensure a peaceful environment by minimizing harassment from vendors. This time, we were repeatedly approached while relaxing on the beach, and a simple “no thank you” was often not enough. It disrupted what should have been a relaxing experience.

Additionally, the included continental breakfast with mimosas was only fully available on three of my six days. No champagne was available on the other days, and no alternatives were offered.

While most staff were friendly, a few seemed disinterested or unhelpful when responding to basic questions. I understand it’s off-season, but the overall service felt below the usual standard I’ve come to expect.

I appreciate the experiences I’ve had at Sandy Haven and hope this feedback helps improve future guest stays.

The room is very spacious. From reading previous reviews, the hot tub has been broken for a long time, it was not working during our stay. the pool was dirty. The fridge in the room never was cold, which was another common thing I had read in the reviews that it commonly didn’t work. Breakfast at the sandy haven is mediocre. You are offered a continental breakfast, which is a small plate of fruit and toast. They also offer mimosas, but only had champagne one day of our stay. We didn’t spend much time at this resort. We had friends staying next door at coco la palm, we spent most of our time in their chairs and using their hot tub. The drinks at the bar of shandy haven are expensive. The sandy haven beach isn’t very big. If you just want a room to sleep in and find a different beach this place is perfect for just going to sleep. I suggest finding a friend at cocolapalm and hanging out on their beach.

Sandy Haven is a very gracious, appealing boutique hotel smack in the middle of Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica's finest beach. The hotel is small, quiet, clean, gracious, and well managed. It is steps from the beach, with ample public spaces: tables on the terrace overlooking the beach, pleasant waterfront bar, and adequate-sized (and clean) pool. The staff is pleasant and competent (special shoutout to Rowan, reservation manager, who provided expert help with all arrangements, such as taxis and restaurant reservations).
Two suggestions: upgrade the continental breakfast, which is barely adequate; and hire more staff: the present staff is overworked, which inevitably means service delays.

We had a very nice beachfront view. Daily housekeeping and coffee provided every day. Free continental breakfast very basic with juice, coffee, bread and fruit. Only ate lunch there several times. 45-75 minute wait for food, but that’s the standard on the island. Be sure to check your bill every time before signing. They had our room number wrong twice and when checking out we had a $60 charge not belonging to us. Management corrected that. WiFi extremely slow and no cable TV.

This was the worst hotel stay of my life! From check in, to nothing working, lack of service and rude staff the overall experience was more stressful and far from a vacation. There was no tv or internet for 6 days of our stay. No one had answers or was willing to help with the situation. As well when we asked for something or for someone to come help with something, the request has to be asked multiple times and still at times no one responded to the specific need. Lastly the hotel took it upon themself to charge my credit card when they wanted and when it was time to leave they held us hostage as they said we owed more money. This was the worst experience to date from all my travel experiences and I would never suggest anyone to stay there as they will only cause stress and trouble throughout the vacation.

A group of us went to Negril to celebrate my birthday. There were 7 who stayed at Sandy Haven. The property is lovely. Most of the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, advising on where to go (and not to go) and going out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. On my birthday, the owner gifted us a bottle of champagne and arranged for birthday balloons and decorations in my room. The hotel is located directly on one of the best beaches on the island, so a short walk from our room and we were right there. Perfect. The hotel provides beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. There is a bar on the beach where you can order light bites. We really enjoyed our stay and should we find ourselves in Negril again, we will be going back!

The two best things about Sandy Haven Resort are its location and the staff (outside of the beach bartenders). Geographically, this hotel is located in a great section of Seven Mile Beach. It's within walking distance to many of the larger and more popular resorts as well as a couple of great food spots. The staff are also very kind and helpful. Everything else about the hotel is pretty solid; clean (albeit slightly outdated) rooms, no pests, and easy beach access. The buffalo wings were not great but the mimosas and rum punches were good.

Overall, I would stay here again but as a heads up to future guests, beware of one of the young bartender's scams. If you do not watch him make the drinks, he'll try to charge you (in cash) for double shots in single drinks that you didn't ask for. Would have reported it to the manager if I had more time but I had to leave for an event. Terrible on that bartender's part but hopefully one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch here.

The room is nicely decorated however some amenities in the hotel such as the pool and hot tub area could use some TLC. TV in the room could also use some upgrade. The beach chairs and umbrellas are excellent and beachfront is amazing. My family will definitely consider going back to this property as we enjoyed our stay on our first visit in Jamaica 🇯🇲.

This was my 2nd stay at Sandy Haven Resort. I was treated like a queen once again. The staff cared for me like family, Breakfast omelets and banana pancakes are outstanding and the lovely waitstaff even more so. As usual, Rohan, Pops, front desk, security, bartender and housekeepers were awesome. Chris is the best chauffer in all of Jamaica. Thank you all for the wonderfully peaceful stay.

Sandy Haven is a nice place to stay on Seven Mile Beach it is conveniently located to many restaurants and other attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms come with a mini fridge which was nice to have. The breakfast which is included is very simple fruit, toast, juice and a muffin. It was very tasty. I would recommend staying at Sandy Haven!

Great trip

We had a wonderful time at Sandy Haven. Everyone was very nic eand welcoming, the property and views were beautiful and our room was comfortable. We can't wait to go back. If you are having them set up your airport transfer ask for Chris, he is phenomenal.

Nice but Not Nice Enough

The air conditioner wasn’t working properly and the amount of moisture and humidity in the room after leaving out for the day was overwhelming. I made a request for the air conditioner to be looked at and nothing was done. I mentioned it again…nothing done. We eventually realized we needed to sleep with the balcony door open in order to have the room cool enough to sleep.

Additionally, we asked for a taxi to take us to another location for the day with a pick up later. Driver came, was paid for the drop off and pick up. He never returned even after multiple texts and phone calls from us. Two hours after the time he was supposed to come back for us he text informing us he was on his way to pick us up. We had gotten another taxi to take us back to the hotel. So we basically paid out funds twice and were taken advantage of. I did alert the front desk of this situation.
I also made it clear that the air conditioner still wasn’t working and it was day 3 of my 4 day visit. I received an apology for everything and an offer to move to another room. I declined as we were staying another day only. It would have been nice to have been offered some sort of compensation for the taxi situation and lack of air conditioning.

Room was very clean, shower was amazing. The management very nice but other than two wait staff remaining staff were unfriendly. Beach area, lounge chairs were a mess. Bar and staff were not prepared until after noon and were not friendly. We wound up going next door to sun beach and boat bar for drinks and food. I would not stay here again

Loved that staff, bedrooms are substandard. They upgraded us for two of the poor rooms. Property was lacking and needs to be refurbished.

Beautiful property with pristine beach area. Loved our quiet breakfast outside in the morning with the ocean view. Staff was super friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious, though the mattress was thin and firm. The meals at the beach grill and Bongos were great, the barbecue on the beach was OK.

This was our third year at the Sandy Haven and we hope to return in the future. They make it easy to simply unwind and enjoy the beach and the country.
