High Level Survey of the Gorgeous Beaches Travel Resort in Jamaica
Posted on | January 1, 2010 | 18 Comments
Are you planning an upcoming stay at the Beaches resort in Negril, Jamaica? Wondering if it’s the right fit for you or your family? If so, keep reading for a review of some specifics about the property.
Very Kid-Friendly
This is not a resort for honeymooning couples or adults looking for some rest and relaxation. Beaches Jamaica is very much targeted toward children, and a large portion of the resort is dedicated to children’s activities and distractions – making it perfect for family vacations.
For families with kids, the resort offers several daycare centers, numerous Sesame Street themed activities (characters walking around and live shows), water slides, day trips for teens, story time and even infant care. The major appeal is that they have a variety of activities targeted toward each age group – meaning your teen and toddler won’t wind up at the same activity center.
For parents, though, the resort can seem a little too kid-focused. There are adults-only areas and pools that are either designated for just families or just adults, but parents won’t have the run of this place. However, you can enjoy a little snooze at the beach knowing your children are well looked after and having a great time.
Great Fitness Center
Probably one of the best features for adults at this resort is the fitness center. It’s stocked with state-of-the-art equipment and they run a number of fitness classes every day – ranging from low impact and introductory yoga to high-impact sessions like kickboxing.
Numerous A La Carte Restaurants
Anyone who has spent a week at an all-inclusive resort knows that the same buffet night after night can get tiring after a while. To avoid food boredom, locating a resort with numerous a la carte restaurants is key. Jamaica Negril offers 6 restaurants ranging from a beachside cafe to fine and elegant dining.
Harassment By Beach Vendors
The beach in Jamaica is public, meaning a trip down to the sand and beautiful waters also leads to dealing with a lot of harassment from local vendors selling their wares. If you don’t want to put up with this, then you’ll have to be content sunbathing by the pool instead.
Small, Closet-Sized Rooms
Unless you’re opting for a deluxe suite or large room, you’ll find the accommodations pretty small at Beaches Negril Jamaica. That said, if you’re sharing one room among a family of four, you may want to consider upgrading to a larger room.
The Final Word
Beaches Jamaica is a fantastic vacation option for a family. There are tons of choices for the kids and a range of activities for a range of ages. The one major drawback? The room sizes don’t comfortably accommodate a family.
So if you are either willing to squeeze into tight space (which may not be so bad when spending the bulk of your time outside) or can afford to spring for a separate room for your children, you will enjoy this location.

10 hours away by car is Myrtle Beach North Carolina. Loads of young people go there for Spring break.
I stayed at a campground with tent and trunk full of camping things, with my girlfriend…. a long time ago.
There is no beach that is 5 hours away, except maybe Lake ERIE straight North. Don't overlook the little islands there (Put in Bay) that are also a great hangout for college students. between Toledo and Cleveland, but more to the west. ISLANDS!!

Try any of the beaches between LA and San Diego in California. There are a lot of them and you can just pick a beach and see if you like it. The weather in southern California at this time of year is almost always great! No worry about major hurricanes etc. It is where I would pick if I had to go. You can also find a larger hotel that is located on the beach where they will serve drinks poolside or for you to carry down to the ocean's beach!

If it is 1200 mile and your jeep gets 20 mile to the gallon you will need 60 gallon to get you there, and at 3.00 a gallon it will cost you 180 one way ,360 round trip…….this is for example…..find out how many mile it really is and how many mile you get to the gallon and that will give you a good idea.

I avoid beaches with my kids but I can help with the flights. I'm an ex-F/A and I fly with my three between Europe and California about every six months, plus shorter trips in between.
For such short flights, it wont be a problem with the ears. Just visit the ped before leaving to be sure he doesn't have an ear infection and otherwise, hís ears should be fine. It's a myth that they have to drink or suck on take-off and landing. Ear problems are highly overrated.
He'll be safer and everyone will be more comfortable if you can bring your carseat and see if you can use it on board in an empty seat. Wont you need it at your destination anyway? (Never risk car company seats, they can be expired, nasty, the wrong size, etc.). Double check that your carseat is FAA certified. Most are in the U.S.
On check in, ask how full the flight is and ask if you can be seated with an empty place besides you.
I go into way more detail in an article I wrote and placed on a blog for all parents to see. It's totally non-commercial and written to help out other parents (and my ex-coworkers, if parents have fewer concerns!)

Baseball plays "games," not matches.
You want to be there at least a half hour before game time.
Give yourself an hour from SoBe, especially if it's a weekday, it will be rush hour. If you get there early, no problem; you can watch practice & there's other stuff to see & do.
It will be better to simply go directly there from whatever part of the Everglades you are at. You can take the Expressway or Turnpike & it will take a little longer than the trip from SoBe. There is no reason to make the long traffic jammed trip back to the the Beach & then back to Miami.

I'm not sure a group of 18/19 year old guys want to go to NYC for the theater and Shakespeare…
Head down to Myrtle Beach or Fort Lauderdale. If you want to check out the west coast, go to San Diego. Plenty of nightlife in all of those cities, and more to do than just hang out at the beach.
