Sunset At The Palms

This was our first experience with a couples resort, all-inclusive and being in Jamaica and was a great experience all around. The "tree house" rooms are cozy, quiet and secluded in a lovely, well-groomed tropical garden. If doesn't feel like a "typical resort" but more like a retreat. Very peaceful and quiet throughout. The staff are first-class. Food was consistently very good (and I'm a picky eater); always something available for you to eat, with many choices. There is daily fogging for mosquitoes, and we didn't notice a need to put on bug spray (each got only one nibble when we sat outside). The resort staff really go out of their way to be sure you are enjoying yourself and to meet your needs. They assisted with lost luggage calls, reservations, calls for taxi, etc. whenever needed. Can't say enough about the lovely ambiance and peaceful feeling here. The walk across the street to the beach was not a deterrent at all. It felt very safe and relaxing to just stroll around on the grounds. You will hear the sounds of nature: singing birds during the day, and singing frogs at night, and most (but not all) units do not have glass behind shutters - some rooms do. I was concerned we might get too hot as a result, but the air conditioning and ceiling fans kept you comfortable. If you like it really cool, I would advise requesting rooms with glass windows. We hope to go back again.

This place is just amazing, wonderful, beautiful, tranquil, and a place I can't wait to return to. Everything about this place was great. The food daily was wonderful, I never knew you could serve snapper so many wonderful was. The Chef's selection dinner and the Lotus Leaf restaurant were both superb. I don't have anything bad to say except my trip was too short. The themed buffets nightly was a great way to try diffent foods, the bars were great to try different drinks. All of the staff were friendly, and made you feel super welcome. We're already planning our next stay. The pictures I have are just like the advertisements, this place is legit. What you see in the brochure is what you get, prefection.

This was my 15th visit to Jamaica, my 10th to Negril (my favorite place, it's Heaven on Earth !) but my 1st stay at Sunset. This is now the ONLY place I will stay when I come back ! It's the perfect blend of what's great about All-Inclusives, Boutique Hotels, Beachfront Properties & Adults only Havens. The staff are amazing, not only great at their jobs but so friendly & warm that you can't help but feel like part of their extended family. Tobian is now my long lost cousin, lol ! The grounds are immaculate & beautiful, this must be what the Garden of Eden was like. The private beach is gorgeous & features amazing sunsets. Walking across the street to get to it isn't really an issue unless, like my lady, you're walking with a boot on while you deal with a foot injury. It's a short walk but for our particular situation a golf cart ride would have made it perfect. The food, including the buffets, is outstanding but if you come here, you MUST try the A La Carte restaraunts, the Chef's Showcase & if you really want to get romantic, set up a private dinner. We celebrated our last night with one & it was worth every penny of the extra charge ! You, your loved one, your waiter, your chef, beautiful settings & spectacularly delicious food, drinks & champagne from Appetizer to Dessert, a slice of Heaven for sure ! The rooms are spacious & comfortable, but could use dressers instead of shelves for your clothes. You feel one with nature sitting on your lanai, listening to the tree frogs at night or scanning the grounds in the morning. Take it from a Ja-merican, mon (I was told on my 12th visit that you become Ja-merican) who has stayed in Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay, Rose Hall, Mo Bay & Lucea (Grand Palladium), the essence of what Jamaica is all about is in Negril. The best place to stay in Negril - I've stayed at large all-inclusives (Couples Negril & Swept Away, Hedonism & RIU Tropical Bay), boutique hotels (the Westender & Idle Awhile), is Sunset at the Palms, the perfect blend of the best ingredients from all of these places !
