Sitting on one of the best beaches and add to that, excellent service adds up to value for money at Merrils The food and drinks were average but the staff were great, the location excellent and for the rates we paid it was unbeatable and we had a fabulous time and will be sure to return this year.

12 years straight must mean something right??? Although every vacation review is personal, I cannot understand the negative comments about the hotel or the food. The authors cannot, just cannot have been there at the same time as us..... Remember , this is a 3 star property in a third world country, but I tell you, it provides 5 star... More

Merrill'sI is just on Negril Beach in a strategic location, close to Alfred's bar and restaurant and Times Square mall. Nevertheless it's very relaxing and safe. The all inclusive formula allows to sip your favorite drinks lying on your sunbed in the magnificent scenario of Negril beach. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The staff is always smiling and very... More

How the heck do you rate the experience: it was amazing and it was awful. I was there in December 2012 and was robbed in my bedroom while I was asleep on my last night (and I didn't hear a thing!). They even found the safe key and ransacked that! Thankfully I wasn't harmed: and talking to locals afterwards its... More

Arrived home last night after 3 weeks at Merril's. I see changes since last year...oh yes. Not all for the better I am afraid. Although the staff ( Kedecea, Keronna, Marlon, Eloise, Tanisha, Carl, Barbara, and Charlie, etc ) are still there, I found that the managing system of the resort has slipped since my last visit. The no smoking... More

We loved staying at Merrils I!! One of the best things about it was the food- it was clear that the chefs were really trying hard to provide a decent range of Jamaican home cooked specialities- curry coat, callaloo, jerk chicken- plus lots of fresh veg and salad. Another nice touch was the baking of their own biscuits and cakes... More

it's the family atmosphere that keeps us coming back, and we are already sorted for our next vacation. For a first-timer to Jamaica, stay away from the big hotels if you want to find out what the Jamaican people are about. Everyone in this hotel is so friendly, and aim to make your stay special. The beach is a dream,... More

We stayed at Merrils I, 11/24/2011 for 11 nights. We had a great time. We had stayed at Merrils II in 2008, so we knew what to expect of the Merrils resorts. The buffets were really good fresh food served 3 meals a day. This time we were glad to see they had added jerk chicken, curried goat and callaloo... More
