The hotel was beautiful, the staff were so kind, the bartenders friendly and fun, and the food and drinks were great! The high ceilings and the balconies made the rooms feel spacious and luxurious, and even though there was a little construction going on, it didn't cause much of a disturbance and it was nice to know they're working hard to keep the hotel in good shape. The manager saw me waiting for my friend in the lobby and took the time to ask me how my stay had been. After chatting i found out he used to manage the hotel years ago, and just returned 6 months ago to take over again and they're working very hard to provide a top quality experience for their guests. Met some lovely people by the beautiful pool and spent some beautiful days by the ocean in their bali beds and on the lounge chairs. Also Jungle is just down the street if you want to go dancing! Thank you everyone, would definitely come back and stay here again!…

The location is good, the food is average. The rooms are not too bad, but they do need to be more accomodating by having a microwave available. They ran out of alcohol! I did love being on the beach and felt safe, with the amount of people selling merchandise up and down the beach all day every day.

We found our place! We absolutely loved Sandy Haven. Pops is the best. He is very helpful and always smiling. Our favorite bartender is Denville. He is an asset to the place. He works his tail off. Sashelle and Janelle were excellent too. The rooms are very clean. The grounds are well kept. The workers are constantly working. I loved feeding the kittens that were there. We will be going again next year. No more big resorts for us. We love the boutique hotels!

We booked a five night stay at Sandy Haven. We stayed three, only because the hotel we decided to move to after the first night couldn’t accommodate us earlier. While there were some positives to our experience at Sandy Haven, we quickly realized that resort is not a luxury boutique hotel as it is represented to be. If you are like us and have not been to Negril before, I recommend considering a resort on the cliffs unless you are looking for a loud and more party-centric vacation. Additionally, after we checked in and had no hot water in our room, we found out through other reviews that hot water had been scarce for more than a month. Had we known this was an ongoing issue, we would have canceled our reservation within the free cancellation window and not lost two nights worth of money when we checked out due to the hotel’s lack of transparency about a major ongoing issue. Pros: -beach access -bar conveniently located next to beach seating area -walkability to multiple restaurants -most staff is courteous and helpful A few of many cons: -visible mold in our room -uncomfortable beds with cheap linens -a couple staff members were pushy and made us feel uncomfortable -while the beach seating is reserved for guests, the beach itself is public and crowded with people trying to sell stuff. We were approached every ten minutes by someone trying to sell us souvenirs, weed, food, or anything else you could imagine. -loud music from the bar and neighboring bars were tough to drown out, even with noise-canceling headphones -the hot tub was cold, just like our water during our entire stay -the fitness center smells strongly of mold/mildew and most components of the weight training machine were broken -the pool and pool deck are pretty worse for the wear -the furniture in the room is chipped, stained, etc -we had one functioning light in the bathroom, and it wasn’t even installed properly While the Sandy Haven may have been a “luxury boutique hotel” when it opened, it seems to have not been updated since. The hotel’s faded and algae-crusted beach sign says it all.…

Perfect location on the beach, rooms are spacious and clean and great décor. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Especially love the complimentary rum punch on arrival and was hooked on it for the rest of my stay. My partner is very choosy and was very pleased with my choice of hotel. The meals are delicious and the portion is good and everything was available on the menu. Before my arrival I read some negative reviews but it is clear that the resort has overcome these issues. Overall a fantastic stay. I would definitely return and recommend to my friends.

What can l say, Sandy Haven is truly a special place in my heart.My husband and myself have been coming here for 4 times. It is my favourite place in Negril. Sheldon the chef is fabulous. His meals are out of this world. If you ask him to slightly change a dish boom it is done to your liking . On super bowl was on the beach with a huge screen, great sound and great great Super Bowl food. We had a blast. Thank you Sandy Haven for your outstanding Class. The staff is beyond nice, they are happy and smiling. They will absolutely do anything for their guests. If you need anything or you would like to do anything , ask Pop. He is an honest and caring individual, in fact when l left my sandals on a boat tour, he actually went to the tour boat office in Negril and brought my sandals to me. Now isn't that amazing . The rooms are beautiful and so clean. You can eat off the floor. We had hot water every day, we are seasoned travellers and understand good value for your money. Again,l highly recommend everyone to come to Sandy Haven for a bit of heaven . Thank you to everyone for giving me a little bit of Heaven . We now come for 2weeks rather than 1 week. This is what Sandy Haven does to your soul.…

I would not hesitate to go back here as the drinks were great and it is a very convenient location to enjoy the beach and everything Negril has to offer. If you can get a beach front location, I would go for it. Great view and bar/beach is easy to access. If you truly want "luxury" then this is probably not the place for you. Highlights: Nice staff at the bar and breakfast areas. Drinks were always on point and cold. Views from the ocean front rooms are amazing. Rooms are so close to the beach and the bar, it was super easy to use the restroom or go back for those items you forget in the room. The location of Sandy Haven is ideal. You can walk either way on the beach to all the other hotel restaurants and bars. Room for Improvement: No dead bolt or security chains on inside of hotel room for added safety. Sheets, room towels, linens are pretty rough. Definitely not on the luxury side of things. Bed was very firm... wife and I both found it not on the comfortable side. Overall the rooms need some updating to be called luxury. New TV systems would be great too. Food was up and down. Some breakfasts were great and others were not so good. Some of the outdoor amenities are not taken care of - old beach beds on the side of the beach seating areas are rotting away and should be removed if not taken care of. It would be great if beach staff would actively walk around to take drink orders. This happened a few times, but not most of the time.…

Sandy Haven is about to go out of business - if it hasn't by the time I'm writing this. Out of food. Out of alcohol. Falling into massive disrepair. If you are booked here, get your money back ASAP before it's too late. Hopefully someone buys it and turns it around but absolutely do not stay here.

Dear Winterbeachbum40: Thank you for your comments and concerns. We regret that we fell short of your expectations and would like to inform you that the property is currently being considerately upgraded and thoughtfully refurbished. May I take this opportunity to clear up some stated miss-information about Sandy Haven Resort as it is untrue that we are going out of business nor is there any threat of it, and the property is not listed for sale. We have worked hard over the last decade of being opened to provide stable, uplifting and secure employment to the community of Negril and its environs and appreciate the support of our many guests in this endeavour. We hope you would reconsider your position and allow our management and staff the opportunity to graciously host you again. Sincerely,
