Sunset at the Palms is a quiet little hotel that offers a intimate and relaxed setting sandals on the other hand is much larger and offers more activities and entertainment if you have off property guests I believe you will be required to purchase passes for them. if all your guests are staying at the hotel, depending on the size of your party the hotel may be able to put you all together in one of the restaurants. Negril has a lot of "cliff side" setting which is vey romantic, especially at sunset Esther
