We just returned from Negril Palms this weekend from our first stay there. I would highly recommend it. This was our first time at this resort and it is very small but the staff that work there are very friendly and helpful. We stayed on the first floor and I didn't mind it being by the path. From the front desk to the staff at the restaurant to the beach security everyone was so pleasant we hated to leave, it was like we gained a new family while we were there. I will definitely return to this resort again.
