It’s a scenic drive that takes about an hour and fifteen minutes, and roundtrip transfers are always included for all Sandals guests.

Traveler Safety Negril
Your safety is most important, and the Negril Forum on Tripadvisor offers great tips.
Recent reports state that Negril is very safe during the day, with more caution advised during the evenings for areas outside the resort.
Guided tours outside the resort are affordable and offer peace of mind to tourists who are generally unfamiliar with a Caribbean beach destination, especially at night.
You will encounter people selling trinkets or t-shirts on the beach. It’s okay to say, “no, thank you,” but be respectful and not rude because these local people are just trying to earn a living.
Best Times to Visit Negril
The Jamaican tourist board has a great website, Visit Jamaica, for helpful trip-planning tips, including the best times to visit.
Jamaica is hot and humid most of the year, but that’s why the island is so famously lush and green! Historically, the rainy seasons are May to June and September to November, with hurricane season between June to November.
A destination wedding and honeymoon in Jamaica is often blessed with great weather between December to April, with temperatures and breezes increasing the nearer you get to the spring and summer months.
Ideally, plan your beach wedding for the morning (before 10 am) or early evening for that famous Negril sunset!
