Merrils Beach Resort II

Small, family owned, simple, basic, clean! Healthy food, drinks, AI , plus a shade/sun beach with a very kind staff.

Staff was very helpful. Location was excellent, right on the beach. Resort is old and rooms are in need of some renovation, but very clean.

Somewhat okay resort - but could really used some revamp… the food is also not really good. Very cute front beach.

We recently stayed at merrils, and while there were many wonderful aspects of our trip, there were also some significant disappointments. First, the positives—this resort is located on one of the most stunning beaches we’ve ever seen. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft, and the sunsets are breathtaking. The food was also very good, and the staff (outside of management) were friendly and welcoming, making an effort to ensure guests had a great experience. Unfortunately, our experience with management and our upgraded room left much to be desired. We paid for an upgrade, expecting a better experience, but instead, we had no WiFi and had to endure extremely loud noise until 2 AM the first night and 4 AM the second. We also requested multiple room fixes that were never addressed. Each time we inquired about speaking with the manager, we were given the runaround—told he would be there at 10 AM, then asked to return later, and we finally spoke with him at 12:30 PM. There was no real apology or effort to make things right. On our last night, we moved to a different room, which was a slight improvement, but outside noise was still an issue. If you are considering staying here, I’d highly recommend booking a room closer to the ocean and away from the street. Additionally, while the beach is beautiful, be prepared for a fair amount of solicitors. Overall, this resort has a lot of potential, but management needs to improve. If you choose the right room and go in with.

A very nice visit We wanted to stay in a small resort on the beach in Negril. Merrill‘s Beach resort ll was perfect in that respect. It was a beautiful setting!! We had a nice room near the beach and the swimming pool. The grounds were quite beautiful and the staff was amazing. They were very kind, helpful and friendly. The weather and the water were perfect. We would stay there again. My only complaint would be that the food was just OK. I know it must be hard to prepare three meals a day for a diverse group of people from all over the US and Europe. We ate a few dinners out but were unprepared for the cost of taxis and meals outside the resort. This is definitely something to consider when you are planning a trip to Negril. Drinks were also all inclusive and they varied all over the map depending on who was making them. Some were excellent and some were not worth drinking. I would recommend taking a lot of cash as most places outside the resort, unless they’re very high-end, do not take credit cards. One last comment: Jamaican people are extraordinarily hospitable and friendly. People from all over the world could learn from them.

the rooms have been upgraded which is a good thing because they were starting to show their age. the beach is still excellent and the grounds are well kept. the staff is friendly and always willing to help with any questions or requests
