My family and i stayed at the Legends from December 7 - 14, 2011. Ages range from 11-53 in the family. Not one of us had anythin less than a great time. Big Momma's food is incredible although having bacon in the morning or a roast at night would have made it perfect. The Security Guard Michael is the nicest guy he will do anything for you to have a perfect day. The waitresses are awesome and housekeeping will do anything in their power to make your stay in your room perfect. I would give 5 stars but they did have a problem with the hot water for a day or two but hey nothing and no place is perfect. Legends thank you for the best vacation ever and Big Momma , Gianna misses you.

First off I did not pick this hotel my Friend did, I was pleasantly surprised. Arriving at night, I was not sure what to expect, however check in was a breeze. I woke up and open my door to the beautiful birds and my neighbors playing reggae music. After taking a walk around I realized I was around everything I want to experience. Real Jamaican Jerk, Smoke, Culture, Weather, Feeling Safe. I felt very safe and thought the staff did an excellent job making me feel this way. "everything going to be alright mon" Mike the beach guys was great, if you're going to book a tour he knows everyone. A couple words that sum up my stay YA MON! RESPECT!.

We did our homework before we booked this Resort for our first time in Jamaica. We chose Legends for price and location and we booked beach side and king bed. When we arrived, we were greeted by Rianna at reception, who informed us that our reservation had been lost, but she found it again, funny girl! Turned out she was very friendly and efficient, took good care of us. We did not expect luxury, but found large clean room, hot water, working AC, clean towels daily, good bed. The best feature is the beach, very clean water and safe for all ages.
We found the staff very friendly and helpful, they treat you as you treat them - with respect. Of course they also like your tips.
The food was not elaborate, but very good and even after 2 weeks there were new things on the menu. Big Mama knows how to dish it out, her spoonfuls are FULL and she goes the extra mile to please you. All fruit and vegetables are grown locally, there was fresh fish every day and usually 2 other kinds of meat. We also got addicted to the Red Label house wine, it has a sweet sherry taste. The bar is open from 10-10 and the coffee is also very good!
Michael makes sure there are plenty of chairs on the beach and he is an expert on placing umbrella's in the sand, so you don't get sunburned. When we were away and got rained on, he made sure everyones towels and bags were saved a few times, thanks Michael! We all appreciated how he protects us from over-enthousiastic peddlers on the beach.
You need to take a snorkeling trip to the island nearby and include the lobster lunch, to us this was a perfect day. Another day trip we did was to YS falls, black river boat trip and the Appleton rum factory. It makes for a long, but very satisfying day and it is nice to see the country side. We booked this at Legends and it included lunch, for $ 125 p.p.
We felt that Negril has lots of Jamaican flavor, we also liked the added bonus of going to Samsara - Legends' sister resort. There is no beach, but you can jump off the rocks (or enter the water by ladder) and do some snorkeling. They also have 2 pools and it is much quieter there if you need a break from the busy beach.
A free shuttle takes you there and back, you can also go for dinner. Rick's cafe is also worth visiting, you can see daring cliff divers and have a drink at the bar.
We felt very safe on the beach at all times, there are many ganga sellers for the tourists who like to buy it....but they respect a NO MON! with a smile.
We enjoyed the whole experience, thanks Jamaicans, ONE LOVE!

I go hear once a year now. Its been 5 years straight. The staff, location, food, board everything is bang on and its quite affordable. Make friends with Rudy (driver), Michael (beach aid) and Big Mamma (cook) from the jump and go to them with any questions. They will take care of everything, warm lovely people.

Link up with Captain Clarke and do a trip to Booby Key for Lobster! Incredible day trip. Similarly ask Rudy to take you to the Rolling Rivers and Peter Toshs house. Day trip of a lifetime!!

Thank you Legends!
