It sounds to me like you are describing Couples Swept Away...if you can afford it.
1. Couples is AI.
2. CSA has 6 restaurants (one of which, Feathers, is fine dining that requires long pants and closed toed shoes for the gentlemen.
3. The staff and service is friendly and fantastic. They will go out of your way for you, but will not agressively try to get you involved in the daily, scheduled activities.
4. Most water sports are included in the price. This includes surf skis, hobie cats (with lessons if needed), water skiing, snorkling, glass bottom boat, catamaran sunset cruise (to the cliffs), and scuba diving (with lessons if needed).
5. Two of their room categories sit right on and face the beach. These would be the Beachfront Suites and Beachfront Verandah Suites. Don't let the names fool you. They are rooms, not multi-roomed suites. But the potios/balconies are huge.
6. CSA is toward the north end of Long Bay (the +/- 5 mile piece of Seven Mile Beach) from which you can stroll along the beach for miles.
7. CSA has a "tour desk" that can set you up with local tours. These excursions do cost extra.
8. There is nothing better than kicking back and relaxing on the beach, and CSA has some of the best beach in Negril. What is more relaxing than sticking your green flag in the sand and a bartender coming to you right there to take your order? (Although we just usually go get our own.) I think they have 6 bars, so there is always one nearby. All of the chairs on the beach and at the pool have 'floaties/rafts" on them to be used in the water and to make the beach loungers more comfortable.
Things about CSA that you didn't mention or ask about...
If you like a lot of glitz and glam at a resort, you will NOT really find that here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but you will not find marble counter tops and lots of brass. The grounds are lush and well kept.
CSA is a large property, but does not feel crowded.
They have a terrific spa and fitness facility with gym, lap pool, racquet ball/squash, tennis and basketball.
There is nightly entertainment on site every night. Some nights are better than others.
They have what they call a Disco. It is fairly small and it depends on the type of guests at the time if it's going to be "hoppin".
There is a "No Tipping" policy at the rersort.
Here's a link to their website if you'd like more information.

Don't know if it is suggested yet, but this is an AI that is still close in Negril and offers alot of options. http://www.riu.com/en/Paises/jamaica...gril/index.jsp
Thanks Johio, I had a friend stay there and enjoyed it very much. How many times have you stayed there? Is it pretty expensive then? Thanks for you help!
