Stop looking at my title!
My wife and I and two other couples just got back from Sandals Negril for 8 days. Here's a little review and run down:
Resort:
I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10. Parts of it are getting a little old but still in nice shape.
Beach:
If the water is calm probably a 9 out of 10 only because the brochures make it look nicer than it is but its close to perfect.
Food:
Depends a lot on what you are expecting. Definetly not 5 star dining. Was most disapointed in the seafood but I would say overall a 7.
Atmosphere:
I would give it like a 15 out of 10 but only because we went with a group of out going couples and we had a blast together. If it was just my wife and I for a 'romantic' get away I would say 5-8 out of 10 range depending on what you like to do.
My trip:
My wife and I had a blast. We already want to go back but only if we have people to go with, we think we could only handle 3-4 days by ourselves. I got open water certification while I was there and can dive to 60ft and my instructor was awesome. Diving is free, with the exception of the wet suit rental, once you are certified. We also took a sunset cruise to ricks cafe and I jumped from the 35 foot cliff. But most of the time was spent in the water, under the water, on the beach, or at the pool with breaks for meals and drinks. On my camera alone I took almost 600 pictures... here are just a few (I will leave out the old man from hedonism who would walk our beach wearing basically a bright yellow sock):
View from inside our room
Sitting on the beach (wife's legs)
Fire Breathing, beach chair balancing entertainment
Rick's Cafe
Can you say sunset (have a lot of these)
About half the resorts beach (from the grill that serves the grilled cheese with bacon and jerk chicken!!!!!!)

Those are great pics, I really like the long shot of the beach.
