“ Beaches Bascobal Jamaica Vs. Beaches Negril ”
Mar 22, 2007, 2:25 PM

Hey everyone...

I really would like some help from those of you who have visited Jamaica Beaches Resorts.

Isaac and I will have children in our wedding party as well as children in attendance. Since we are not spending our honeymoon in Jamaica we decided to make it more of a family thing.

I was told that Beaches Boscobal is small and cramped, and that Beaches Negril is spacious and large. But Negril has nothing to do and boring with no elevators, and Bascobal has lots to do but over done.

Can anyone help with photos, suggestions? Anything?

Desperate

Hi Denise,

My wife & 3 kids stayed 5 nights in Negril last year in the Honeymoon suite with a courtyard view. The place is beautiful and there is plenty for adults and kids to do. We are going to Boscobel this year in July, so I'll be able to give a real comparison. Have fun on your trip and congratulations.

Denise, I went to the beaches website and found a link where you can compare two of their resorts to get the differences in amenities, along with photos and video. This might help you out www.beaches.com/general/compare.cfm…

Hello Denise,

BB is not small an cramped. It is smaller than BN, but certainly not cramped. BN is certaily not boring as it provides the same amenities as BB. BN also has the water park which will keep the kids happy for hours. Both are very nice resorts. If I were choosing, I would choose BN because I would much prefer to be in Negril than closer to Ocho. It is also a shorter transfer from the airport, only about 1 1/2 hours vs. 2 - 2 1/2.
