The more I travel, the more I realize that one person's pros are another's cons, so here's a list of what my husband and I experienced. This was our 6th time to Jamaica, our 4th to Negil/7 Mile Beach.
-Spacious room with AC, kitchenette, a selection of kitchenware, beach towels, TV
-Clean, quiet beach area with more than enough beach loungers. Cushions/umbrellas/plastic tables are free for guests.
-Excursion groups arrive around noon to enjoy the beach and leave by evening.
-Many of the rooms are rented to Jamaican security, not tourists.
-Many opportunities for water sports along the beach.
-Limited shops/restaurants due to large all-inclusive resorts on either side.
-Fewer beach vendors than the south end.
-One trial-size shampoo, lotion, 2 soaps, and 2 rolls of TP provided. If you want more, you have to ask.
-Shared outdoor seating on metal chairs and tables.
-Road noise which can be drowned out with ceiling fan/AC.
-Good food at the restaurant. Service was average to inattentive depending on who was working.
-Responsive e-mail communication.
-Coffee is $5/mug. No refills unless eating breakfast in the restaurant.
-The room is cleaned daily but the sheets are not changed.
