Last renovated in 2008, this unmissable lilac-colored all-inclusive mid-range mega-resort offers 416 spacious rooms with marble bathrooms, liquor-filled minibars (restocked daily), a calm, white-sand swimming beach, five restaurants, 24-hour room service, and plenty of activities. It's a great choice for couples and families, but partiers are strongly encouraged to stay elsewhere. The pool is on the small side for a resort of this nature, but most guests opt for the beautiful beachfront. It's set on a fairly isolated stretch of Negril’s outskirts which requires a lengthy trip from the international airport, but it's much calmer than Negril's popular Seven Mile Beach. Travelers seeking a more exclusive all-inclusive experience may want to try Sunset at the Palms instead.

The 45-room White Sands Negril is a mid-range property split between a garden and ocean side along the famous Seven Mile Beach. Run by the same family since 1971, the hotel is laid-back and simple, delivering an alternative to the area's many huge all-inclusive resorts. The garden side houses reception, free parking, and a good-sized pool, while the beach area has free loungers -- but no towels -- a fun bar, and open-air restaurant serving delicious Jamaican fare for breakfast and lunch. Rooms range from basic garden-side rooms to apartment-style units with kitchens, but all have air-conditioning, fast Wi-Fi, and furnished outdoor spaces. Only a handful of rooms have TVs. Thanks to many repeat guests and owners that live on-site, the vibe is friendly. However, some evident wear and thin walls are downsides. For a more secluded setting, consider Westender Inn.

Those who enjoy whimsical decor and a bohemian vibe will most appreciate this budget-friendly cliff-side sanctuary in the western coastal area of Jamaica. Consisting of four non-air-conditioned cottages with small kitchens, Banana Shout is casual and communal, and although the hot water and free Wi-Fi don't always work, it's a place where guests can nap in hammocks on their porches or climb down a cliff-side ladder to take a swim in the Caribbean. Banana Shout will likely appeal most to those not hung up on having their vacation go a particular way, and who like to spend time outdoors. Be aware that this is a cannabis-friendly resort, and those who are sensitive to smoke or have ethical concerns about marijuana use might not feel comfortable here.

Restricted to couples ages 18 and up, this large (though quiet) 312-room all-inclusive is on one of Jamaica's best beaches. Modern rooms with Wi-Fi and iPod docks, quality food, and a low-key atmosphere best Sandals, but Couples isn't as intimate as the Sunset at the Palms or The Caves. Hundreds of guests share the beach and restaurants.

With a central location on beautiful Seven Mile Beach, a pool and whirlpool, and clean, comfortable rooms, the Negril Tree House Resort is a great budget option for families, couples, and groups. A good-sized buffet breakfast is included, and the hotel also features a beach bar and grill with freshly-made jerk chicken, as well as room service. While the resort is small and has fewer amenities than some of the other properties on the beach, its proximity to other activities and restaurants provides guests with plenty of nearby options. Massages on the beach can be arranged and yoga classes are available. The beachfront restaurant and bar occasionally host live music, and though the scene is lively, it's not out-of-control spring break style.

Located along Negril's Seven Mile Beach, 56-room Rondel Village is a dual-section property within easy walking distance of restaurants and bars. Each section has its own pool and hot tub and has full access to the (small) beach area, restaurant and bar, and spa. Lush garden grounds give an exclusive tropical vibe, but the hotel's multiple expansions have led to snug quarters and an overall lack of privacy. Still, this mid-range's clean and spacious rooms are bright, come with private balconies and flat-screen TVs, and are tough to beat for the price.

Designed for travelers who want to explore, Nirvana on the Beach is a solid pick for families, large groups, and guests who plan to spend most of their time checking out the beach and other attractions instead of hanging out at the hotel. With a central location on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, the property is walking distance from a variety of shops, bars, and dining options. The hotel itself is lacking a restaurant, a pool, and other public amenities commonly found at properties in the area. The majority of the room types have full-size kitchens and plenty of space, making a stay at Nirvana feel more like renting a short-term apartment than visiting a resort.
