We stayed at the Palms for four nights and five days during the off-season in July. Overall, it was a relaxing vacation and I was happy to avoid the all inclusive crowd.

Highlights: Shannon, the bartender is really personable and makes wonderful drinks. The food at the hotel is really good. The beach is clear and gorgeous. The pool is small but nice.

Low Points: There really aren't any ocean front rooms so I wouldn't spend the extra money for that, the hotel was under construction and lacked some basics in the rooms(safe, mini fridge, water pressure etc.), shower was hit or miss with the water pressure. The rooms were a bit rustic but I liked the minimalist design. Music at the bar could be very loud at night when you are trying to sleep. The locals are always trying to sell things on the beach--just be firm and polite if you aren't interested.

Try Pilot's Cafe behind the hotel for a local meal. Richard runs snorkeling trips and he is always in front of the hotel. Check out the Rock House on the Cliffs for dinner.

Hope this is helpful.

Me and two friends stayed at The Palms at the end of July and we absolutely loved the place.
It cannot be better located in Negril.If we were any closer to the beach we would have been in the sea!!.
Whilst minor renovations are still going on, the property is so charming and beautiful it really doesn't matter.
The staff are fantastic and friendly. Big shout for Shannon, Mike Leroy, O;neil all every one else.
We could not have been made to feel more welcomed by the owners John and Cassandra.
We even got to concoct our own drink at the brilliant beach side bar!. When you go there ask Shannon or one of the other guys for LB rum and Ting.Now known in our neck of the woods as " Turn you Fool".

Everyone was super nice, it was a great place to stay. My husband and I found it to be the best looking hotel and with they cleanest beach area on all the beach, all other hotels had boats and other stuff around. The food was delicious make sure you try the coconut pie it as sooo good and we loved the jamaican breakfast.

The Palms Negril Resort was recommended to me by a colleague on my Job, she had her honeymoon there in April.
She raved about the food there (and the experience she and her new husband had there.So i took the girlfriend and
off we went to a place I never heard of in June and it was well worth the trip. I Do plan to return there maybe next year.
Thanks Palms Negril for a perfect time and experience. You really treated us well and you made my girlfriend happy. I love you for that
