BEACHES Negril is celebrating its recently confirmed status as the World's Leading Family All-Inclusive and The Caribbean's Leading Family All-Inclusive.

The honours, which the resort copped at the recently concluded World Travel Awards have inspired the staff, some of whom have been with the hotel since its opening on February 6, 1997.

One of the staff members, Kids Camp supervisor Elaine Baldie, articulated the sentiments of the other members for Way Out West.

"We have seen many of our guests' kids grow up from toddlers to teenagers right here at Beaches Negril. They keep coming back year after year and we feel like part of their family," she said.

Located at Long Bay, alongshore of Negril's famed seven-mile beach, the resort is the first property in the Beaches brand of the Sandals International collection. New features are constantly added and product improvements made, with the most recent being the new Club Liquid and the Scratch DJ Academy.

Beaches Negril is also credited as the resort where current CEO Adam Stewart had much of his hotel apprenticeship.

During Jamaican national holiday periods, many Jamaicans select the resort as their family vacation spot. Some of the long-standing bellmen at the hotel have become good friends of these locals.

The resort has maintained a vibrant presence in the Negril community and has been associated with several outreach projects over the years. Among them:

. the adoption of a basic school;

. environmental activities; and

. the utilisation of the Sesame Street characters to present educational programmes.
