Royalton Negril allows smoking on the property. We asked that find a designated area to smoke during the reception to not disrupt the evening or irritate nonsmokers.

We would be remise to look out into the faces of our loved ones and see nothing but phone cases back at us. We promise that the photos and video completed by the professionals will make up for any footage taken on an iPad. We appreciates your understanding!
