Una estadía fantástica una vez que te acostumbras a Jamaica !!
Pros:

Un mono ambiente súper cómodo con balcón propio espacioso y con la mejor vista de Negril !!

Cons:

No es que no me haya gustado. Pero por las noches se arman recitales al lado de la habitación. Llevar tapones para los oídos si pensas en descansar. Sino súmate que la pasas genial !!

A trip to paradise.
Pros:

Safe, great location right on beach with food and fun venues for miles both ways. Shower, bathroom, towels all clean and good. No bugs, didn’t even see a mosquito. Our room was on garden side with pretty palms and shady porch perfect to start and end the day. Short walk to Moses Glass Bottom Boat which is absolutely a must-do!

Cons:

The live music is great but loud late. Wouldn’t stop us staying again though.

Nice club, but not a hotel.
Pros:

Location on the beach and the live music was nice but then it turned into a night club... perfect place if you're trying to party all night.

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable and extremely squeaky. The curtains were see through which allowed no privacy.
Wasn't able to get good night's rest because the music didn't stop until about 2;30 in the morning.

Pros:

Roots Bamboo is a little slice of heaven. If you want to stay somewhere and really experience the true Jamaica.. stay here. You will feel like you're staying with your new Jamaican family. Ive been to Jamaica 4 times since July and have stayed all over the country but this please.. this now has my heart! I already can't wait to be back. You will feel home.

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was amazing.

Nice tidy place well situated
Pros:

We did not eat at Roots for breakfast as we choose to frequent a local Café Collets. The food we did have was average and quite expensive for what it is. It is perfectly situated on Norman Manley Boulevard—often called “the Strip”— it is the main coastal road running along Negril’s famous Seven Mile Beach on Jamaica’s western coast. It stretches several kilometres from the Negril Roundabout down toward Bloody Bay, placing it right alongside some of the island’s best‑known white‑sand beaches, beachfront resorts, bars, and restaurants.
The staff where friendly and very helpful across the whole complex.
Make use of the Hotel to Airport transfer option via the hotel, great price and reliable.

Cons:

I did not like the bar price increase at 20.00hrs without notification. The Red Stripe Bottled Beer went from JAM $ 500 to JAM $800.
