Rating8.1
Rating6.2Royalton Negril has 8–9 restaurants plus a café, and all are reservation-free except Zen (teppanyaki tables need booking) and the C/X Culinary Experience (extra charge, advance reservation essential). Book C/X on arrival day — it's the most in-demand spot and fills early. The Jerk Hut by the beach is the most genuinely local option and worth visiting for a midday snack. For dinner, Calypso Caribbean is the standout for Jamaican flavors; Grazie doubles as a beachfront lunch spot.
