Traveler Review – Breezes Grand Negril, Jamaica

The grounds and beaches at Breezes Grand Negril were gorgeous! The food, drinks and the included activities were fantastic at this all-inclusive resort. The buildings and rooms could use a little love, though …

My husband and I stayed at Breezes Grand Negril for a quick 4-day getaway because it was on special and we got it for a steal. To get there, you can fly into Montego Bay and take a shuttle. The ride to the resort was about 2 hours, but the drive along the coastline is gorgeous, so sit back and relax!

The beach and boardwalks are beautiful at this resort. Lots of trees and flowers on the grounds. Lots of chairs on the two beaches: One with a sandy bottom all the way to the far edge of the roped swimming area and the other with coral and rock – perfect for snorkeling. We saw seahorses, eagle rays, lobsters, shrimp and a school of at least a million fish.

There were several restaurants and bars to choose from and all were delicious. Some all-inclusives are known for having chintzy, not-so-great food and that was definitely not the case here. The ambiance at each was different, but all were very relaxed and casual. Even the small beach bars had top-shelf rum and tasty frozen pina coladas and daiquiris right on tap!

Short of the beaches, the spa was the best part! The reception area was lush and surrounded by private cabanas and a shaded pool just for spa guests. I opted for an hour-long massage in a beachside cabana. The breeze and waves set the perfect stage and it was my favorite part of the trip.

My husband took advantage of the free SCUBA amenities (very rare to find in all-inclusive) and did a morning dive with the on-site staff. The equipment was clean and quality. He had a great time. There were Jamaican dance and art classes, live bands throughout the day and many other fun activities.

The buildings and rooms were outdated, in need of some maintenance/repair and could use some deep cleaning, but with all the beautiful beaches and great things to do, eat and drink – who wants to be inside?
