I thought the good was better then any of the corporate owned resort chains in Negril.
This was our second time staying at Merrils II. The price is great for the location and amenities. However, we enjoyed the bar and Jerk chicken that was offered at Merrils III (2 places down beach). Since that location has closed, those amenities have not been replaced. Jerk chicken is now only offered on Saturdays. There is a "bar" that you can get drinks/beer, but not a beach bar. This means that the only option for food is the serving dishes. The breakfast is always great, but the lunch is usually something fried and french fries. The dinners that we had there were good, yet simple. Most of the staff are wonderful and very helpful. The rooms are fine, but the beds/pillows are less than desirable. The grounds are pretty. The location on the beach is great with plenty to walk to whether on the beach or roadside. Overall, this comes down to what you are looking for in your vacation.
Was my 5th time staying at a Merrill's resort and will definitely be back. Little bit of an issue with room when checking in, but was made right the next day with a nice upgrade. Staff was outstanding. Service all around could not have been better. Beach area is kept up nice and plenty of chairs and towels every day. Drinks were great and no skimping on the booze. Would highly recommend this resort. Not a high-end resort, but perfect for my needs. Thank you for another great stay. Only suggestions I have are to have your security staff more visible and on the beach instead of sitting off against a wall where they really can't keep an eye on anything to keep belongings safe when we went in the water or ran to bar or restroom. Not sure if security is on at night, never saw them when we came back from walks or beach parties at night. Seems like anyone could have easy access to the rooms once the sun goes down. Also, MORE BACON at breakfast time! Best bacon I have ever had and if you aren't out there within 30 minutes of breakfast start, it is gone. Heard several guests making this same complaint.
The location is great. Close to all the fun on the seven mile beach. The rooms are dated and basic and very run down. I am cool with an old/vintage place but it has to be super clean and this place wasn’t. The staff was great. The breakfast was fine well. The beach is outstanding!!!
Had an amazing time at Merrils Beach Resort II. An older and smaller style resort but very clean, friendly staff, and amazing beach! My husband and I typically stay at the bigger resorts; however, we wanted to try something different and we are so glad we did. Everyone that works there are super sweet and always go above and beyond to take care of you. The room was spotless. The food was fantastic, the only complaint about the food was they needed a little more variety. I am vegan and I pretty much ate rice and veggies 3x a day. It was very tasty but I did get bored with the food selection but that would never stop me from wanting to return. You can take a stroll along the beach to visit other bars and restaurants as well and plenty of other options all within walking distance. They have a small pool but we did not use it because the beach was so amazing. Highly recommend staying at Merrils Beach Resort II if you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation.
I liked the cleanliness. Parking was an issue. No hot water for the last 2 nights.
Merrill’s require some maintainence. But still a nice visit😀
Loved the staff, they were all very friendly and helpful. Loved the fact the beach was only steps away from our door step. We didn’t like the fact our door wouldn’t close as it was sprung and could see daylight around the edges. The bathroom door was about 14” too short for the doorway. We also experienced a VERY large cockroach in our bathroom- it was about 4” long- that’s on the short side of it.
Great hotel right on the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was great!
Hotel was not kept up. Water in shower was difficult to regulate temperature.Door in bathroom was had chipped wood. Lot of rust on pipes.
We didn’t have any way to keep water cold. Problems getting face towels to take showers with.

Good afternoon, Thanks for your review, we are happy that you had a great time and also enjoyed the service of the staff, we must apologise about you having a bug in your bathroom, i assure you that this is not a regular occurrence maybe just as a result of us being in the tropics. We look forward to your next visit.
