A friend of mine is asking me about all inclusive, family friendly resorts. I'm afraid I just don't know (no children and never gone all inclusive), so..............I thought I'd put it out the the ever so knowledgable Negril Boardies ;)
Thanks for any advise you can give.
Peace,

Of the "Super Club" type A/I's, Beaches is probably the most family oriented. Never been there but have heard good things.
Beaches is really nice, and really expensive. The RIU Negril is family freindly. Fun Holiday claims to be, but wont have proof until new year.
legends are ok for family, and you can use both legends on then beach and samsara on the west end. a little tip that works if coming form UK anyway book just breakfast then upgrade in resort its cheaper, I never planned to stay AI but a mixture of lazy and cost to buy evening meal at hotel meant it worked out cheaper for me, and i still got out about to webcasts
If it's in their budget, definitely Beaches Negril. We stayed there a few times and always had a blast. It's expensive but lots of amenities including snorkeling and waterpark.
Thanks for all the great information, I'll pass it along to my friend,
Peace & happy Sunday

Grand Pineapple is A/I but I don't recall any special programs for kids like they have at Beaches. GP is reasonably priced after you get the discount which is offered to everyone. I have stayed there and it is a very friendly resort.
Definetely Beaches, but... it is VERY expensive! RIU Negril Club has lots of families at the Club and some organization for children activities.
my son and i loved sunset beach resort in montego bay - they have a waterpark on the premises and loads of kids activities
the price was very reasonable and the food choices were good (lots of jamaican food and a good variety of everything else)
from this location you can go to either ocho rios or negril for a day trip
the waterpark is off to one side so there are plenty of locations for adults only - including a nude beach - far down the beach

Not Negril but FYI: FDR in Runaway Bay includes a "vacation nanny" in the packages and Breezes Trelawney is also oriented for families with children
good point,Quote:

Another option you have is to stay at Beaches Sandy Bay. You can then take the shuttle down to Beaches and use everything that they have there. Last time we were there, the kids would go to Beaches and the wife and I would stay at Sandy Bay where it is a lot more relaxed. Just have to do some planning.
We like Beaches Sandy Bay for an all inclusive. We've stayed there four times and always enjoyed it. We did use the nanny services for a couple of hours years ago, the kids were fine. They made some crafts, went to eat and had fun. We visited Beaches Negril, but preferred the quiet, less expensive Sandy Bay.
My two cents: I've been to RIU Negril about a dozen times through the years, including several trips with my young kids, and they always had the time of their lives. In fact, every child I've ever seen at the RIU has loved the place! The staff is VERY friendly to kids.
