I recently stayed at Azul for 4 nights. We had a wonderful stay. The resort is ALL about the beach. If your a major pool person, probably not the resort for you as they just have small little pools but if your a beach person it’s amazing. I was traveling with my 4 and 6 year old. I highly recommend asking for building 9 or 10, not that anything is a long walk anywhere, but for us it was PERFECT based on location. Our girls could stand on our balcony, wave to us on the beach directly in front of them (it’s that close) and the kids club in on the back side of the building so we could easily drop the kids off for an hour or two to get a break from the sun and it wasn’t annoying to have to walk half way across the resort like some places. My girls LOVED the kids club, asked to go twice a day and Keds and Jojo we so awesome. They made arts and crafts, popsicles, necklaces, danced with them, and more. Sometimes I have to force the kids to go to kids club but they actually begged to go. The beach was also great for kids, my kids are good swimmers but usually I put life vest on them in the beach still, but here they could walk a far distance out and still stand (so it’s pretty shallow). Also next to building 10 was the beach restaurant so you could grab lunch food like burgers, etc to eat right on the beach and not have to get changed and you could grab a drink from the swim bar in the pools which again were literally all like a 10 second walk from each other. The food was decent, drinks were decent, but if you are looking for extremely relaxing and easy going resort this is a great option. Some of the short falls of little things to at night bother someone for me are weighed out by the relaxing nature of the resort. We had come from Hilton Rose Hall before this which we loved but it was go go go all the times with water slides and lazy river, this was the opposite, for us it was nice to just sit and relax and do nothing haha. There isn’t grandiose shows in the evening like some resorts, but usually a small band or little show which was plenty for us. I think for the price point it’s a great option, if you want lots of restaurants, entertainment, things to do, Beaches is probably a better option in Negril, but at a much lower cost Azul was perfect for our family to chill out and really experience the world famous beach. I think beach there wasn’t “super fun” pools like other places my kids were more into playing in the ocean for longer periods of time here. Lastly, we did go to Ricks Cafe. Hotel organized us a taxi for cheap $40 I think roundtrip. I don’t know if it was just the day we went but it was not what I expected. I did jump and that was cool, I had not expected to so I did buy some shorts from the gift shop, but I would bring your swim suit because there is a pool you can swim in and just watch people jump. But what I DID NOT like was the music was SOOOOO LOUD, they had a DJ and it was just unnecessary loud like college Spring Break style t
