Azul Beach Resort Negril
Features: Kids Program, Scuba, Luxury, Weddings, Honeymoons
DAI Inside Scoop: The company took over what was once Beaches Sandy Bay and renovated it to adhere to their "Gourmet Inclusive" standards. Some rooms are completely brand new, while others have been refreshed with paint, new furnishings, and modern amenities such as 42" plasma TV's, rain showerheads, and iPod docking stations. The 136 ocean-view rooms are located in several two-story buildings, giving the property an intimate feel. However, despite its cozy size, there's a lot packed into Azul, which caters to both families and solitude-seekers thanks to a separate, 58-room adults-only section which even has its own swim-up bar. Although most rooms have king-sized beds, and all have a balcony or patio, those traveling with families or friends, have several category rooms to choose from in the "multigenerational section." They range from loft and family style to one-and-two bedroom suites. There's an array of bedroom layouts with some even accommodating up to eight people—a boon for those planning a family reunion or destination wedding. Each room has a minibar stocked daily with free soft drinks and beer, and premium digs like the swim-up and jacuzzi suites have top-shelf rum and vodka dispensers as well.
