I spent five days at Grand Pineapple Negril. I must commend the staff, they were friendly and very helpful. There are a few that I must refer to by name such as, Jacqueline and Joseph from the restaurant and Clyde from waters ports. Everyone was very nice and lest I forgot to mention Collete in the gift shop. The security crew always make sure to watch for us crossing the road.
I had a great time love the resort and would definitely returned.

Just got back from a 12 day trip to the Grand Pineapple Resort in Negril and am missing it already!

I was feeling a little uneasy upon arrival after reading some of the iffy reviews about the food, hagglers on the beach, loud music. To my surprise, everything truly was "no problem, mon."

The resort itself is definitely "colorful" to say the least. The cottages bright yellows, oranges, green, white, and lavender...the rooms inside, even brighter! The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The AC in our room worked great and the cable TV actually had a decent variety of channels for when you want a little indoor escape from the beach. The ambiance was just right...easy going, fun, whimsical. At night, the little frogs and crickets go crazy and sing their hearts out until dawn, also adding a lot of character to the tropical surroundings.

Just like the other person who wrote a review, I too was "upgraded" to an oceanside cottage! After exploring the grounds, I preferred this side because access to the beach and restaurant/bar was so much easier. The street that separates the garden side and ocean side can be a little scary to cross. ( There are "safety-patrol" type guards that hold up stop signs to help you cross!) The music didn't bother me much at all. It's generally pretty mellow reggae music...and every other song will either be One Love, Three Little Birds, or No Woman No Cry. As for the water pressure and hot water. It was great...that is when the water was on! =) Just wait a bit all will be good. They seemed to turn off the water between noonish- 3:00pm and in the wee hours of the night! The Grand Pineapple is an incredible place with ton of character. As long as you can keep a relaxed and anything goes attitude...you'll enjoy this place.

The staff was INCREDIBLE! Very kind and genuinely happy people. They seem to really enjoy their jobs and the people. The waitresses and waiters at the restaurant always greet you with a smile and are like old friends after a couple days. Robert danced with the music as mades his way to and from the bar to get our drinks! Andrew, one of the bartenders, makes a mean pineapple & bannana daquiri and sometimes serves multiple drinks balanced on his head! The staff that work in the watersports area is also amazing...especially Leroy and Clive! Two very, nice guys that are fun to talk to and will help with anything! The security staff gets two thumbs up! Because I traveled with another woman friend, we felt much more safe knowing that there were always at least 2 or more security guards at the resort 24 hours a day. Their presence would keep the beach hagglers at a distance so you could lounge comfortably! They also like to know when you leave and return to the premises. The security crew can look a little serious and stern..but, when you strike up a conversation with them, they too are some of the nicest people, especially Kirk and Oliver. The staff at the front desk and tour desk area were always helpful and very friendly. I could go on and on about how wonderful the staff was and how they added so much to my trip. A huge thank you and hug to them!

Looking back, I was very glad to have selected an all inclusive package. The buffet style food was decent. For breakfast, they always have a made to order eggs/ omelet station that was good. They offer the standard bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, potatoes, sweet pastries, fruit plater, cereal, and sometimes ackee and saltfish! Lunch and dinner are pretty similar. There's always a veggie dish, some sort of rice, chicken, some kind of meat, some kind of fish, dessert, bread rolls, soup, cheese and fruit plater, and a small salad bar.The convenience of not having to worry about where and what to eat was a huge plus. Since the Grand Pineapple package was so reasonable, I didn't feel like I was "throwing away more money" if I decide to venture up the beach and eat out! We ate at Kuyaba ( B+ for food, and A for view), Rock House Restaurant ( A- for food, and A ++ for view), Ricks Cafe ( C for food, B+ for view, A for cliff divers entertainment).

My friend and I went to Jamaica to lounge, relax, and have a little adventure. We definitely got from our trip what we wanted. After lounging for an hour or so after breakfast, it was nice and convenient to have the option of using any of the non-motorized sports equipment they had available. We spent many mornings and afternoons kayaking along the beach or to the platform about 150 yards out into the ocean and jumping off into the water. The view from out there is spectacular and serene. There is also a huge big-wheel style tricycle you can take out as well...fun, but a lot more work to travel a short distance! We never used the little sailboat, but it looked like a lot of fun! Twice we went on Captain Moses' glass bottom boat for some snorkeling near the little island about a 15 minute boat ride from the Grand Pineapple. The snorkeling is fantastic and the purple fan coral is beautiful. For $25 this trip is highly recommended.

This was a trip to remember for me...a lot of it due to the incredible staff and service the Grand Pineapple provided.

This was our first trip and I must say we had a GREAT time. We arrived on a Tuesday about 2:20pm. We were hungry as the flight was late and the ride from Sangster Airport was adventurous to say the least. The front desk stored our luggage and allowed us to eat before the restaurant closed. We then checked in and proceeded to have a drink and relax!

The Jamaican People as a whole are very polite and respectful. Beach vendors can be a hassle but once you've been there a day or two, they leave you alone. The best things about the hotel are the very friendly and polite staff, the bar, (open 10am - Midnight), the beautiful grounds, the pool and the beach!

The not so good things are the food, (fair at best), the one speed air conditioner, (on or off) and no vent fans in the bathroom. We had little trouble with the hot water though, and most of the time had good water pressure.

Things to do: take the glass bottom boat. Ask for Captain Moses. He is a great guy and will take good care of you. Go on the shopping trip to the craft market and downtown Negril. Don't be afraid to haggle with the craft market people. You can get some great deals. Thursday night at the Jungle (a club down the street) is ladies night. There is a BIG crowd and a lot of fun! Also, the beach club next door is fun if you like Reggae. They party Tue, Fri and Sun nights from 10pm - 1:30am. If you run into a guy on the beach named Peter who is offering horseback ridding to the mountain, GO! You won't regret it. My fiance and I highly recommend this. It is not sponsored by the hotel but we had a wonderful time. Probably the best thing we did. We got to see the Jamaica that most tourists don't see. Believe me, you'll have a new appreciation for what you have. Don't be afraid, just go. Also, if you get the munchies, go across the street to the little store (open till 10pm). They have everything and the prices are CHEAP. 70 cents for a 20oz coke e.g.

DO NOT buy the first thing you see in the little souvenir shops. Shop around, compare prices and wait 'till your last couple of days to buy!! You can always get a better deal if you wait!

We highly recommend this hotel. It truly is a great value for the money!

We just got back from a 9 day stay hear and i must say that if your looking for a place to "do nothing" but hang out on the beach, then this is the place. I would recomend staying in the garden if your wanting quiet. The music on the beach side is a little lound and can go until 3am. We stayed in a garden bugalow and loved it. We spent alot of time at the pool on that side and for several days were the only people at the pool all day. The rooms are small but clean and the people were very freindly. The food I would rate as a 6 out of 10 but if you find yourself seeking somewhere else to eat then take a cab to the Rock House Resturant on the cliffs. Itsa beautful place and food was great. Resevations are required. The Kubuto just a 3 minute walk down the beach has a great place to have a sunset dinner with white linen table cloths and the food was awesome. If your wanting to do any excursions, this might not be the place for you because most of the tours are at least and hour and a half away by cab or bus right and if your prone to motion sickness, this is not a good idea. I will recomend the snorkeling at the reef and the small glass bottom boat was well worth the $15 each for the trip. Ask for Capt. Moses and he will take good care of you. The sunset cruise out to Rick Cafe is also a good trip. If you call them directly they will come and pick you up and take you back fo free. The cliff diving is well worth the trip and the food is good too. It wont take you long to figure out what they mean by " NO Problem Mon" It usally means that there is a problem and there in nothing they can do about it, so if you can live with that then you can enjoy your trip. The beach hasslers are everywhere but just dont pay any attention to them and say no thank you and they will leave you alone. There is not much shoppig to be done in negril except the small mall which is a block from the hotel. I wouldnt recomend any shopping excusions. Just get hooked up with "Clive" he is one of the hotel cab drivers and he will take good care of you for travel needs. Again, a great little romantic spot if your wanting to be alone and send quiet time together. We never waited for a drink or in line for anything. We did have a couple massage that i thought was very sub standard and not worth the cost. The gardens are beautiful and the beach was awesome. The highlight of our stay was a trip to the primary school where we gave out gifts to the children. Small items like combs, tooth brushes, tooth paste, hair barretts, crayons, pencils and school supplies that we had brought with us. These chidren are truly needy and very well mannerd. It was awesome. We may return again on our next trip. I would recoomend the resort if your looking for a good value for your buck and dont need alot of frills and just want to "Do Nothing"
