Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Negril

The location is amazing with the best sunset views. My only complaint is that it has no steps from the terrace/beach area to the lower pool and swim up bar.

The beautiful ocean view with swimout. The daily poolside grilled lobster taills, shrimp,& lamb chops ever. The room Butler services was top notch!! The Grand Lido is #1 on our vacation list.

Personal service experience with our butler and staff. Ricardo helped with every detail of our wants and needs. Everything we asked for, Ricardo came through. The food experience was excellent!! Our room was beyond expectations. The swim out suite will be our goto suite next year.

The Grand Lido Negril is where you want to go if you like to be naked in the sun and be pampered by the friendliest people on the planet. Our butlers, Romaine and Michelle, were outstanding and went above and beyond on several occasions. You should not hesitate to request them for your trip. The activities coordinator at the pool, Simone, was a hoot. She kept us laughing all day as did Captain Kirk. You can tell they love their job and they made our vacation so much more enjoyable. We had the presidential suite. It was very large and the hot tub on the deck was great. They actually changed the water in our hot tub daily. However, we did feel a little out of things so we booked a swim out room for our next trip. But if you prefer lots of quiet time, the suite is a great option and it is only a short walk down the stairs to the pool area. The food was reasonable, but it was not as good as we anticipated. When we were last at a Lido resort, more than 20 years ago, the food was spectacular. The quality has definitely declined, but there were exceptions and some of our meals were excellent. We were blessed with an excellent group of people which always makes a huge difference on an all inclusive vacation. If you’re planning a trip in April 2026, you can party with some fantastic people between April 5 and 20. Hope to see you there!

This was our seventh trip to Grand Lido Negril since 2014 and as always, we had a fantastic time meeting new people and reuniting with the staff who make our stay great. At the pool bar Peaches, Dwaine, and Andrew went above and beyond to make amazing drinks! We never went thirsty. For entertainment Simone came through, as she always does, to get vacationers involved in games, laughing, dancing and just having fun while at Grand Lido. Captain Kirk also helped keep us entertained while making sure we were well attended to on the pool deck. Ricardo was our Butler, and we cannot say enough good things about him and the excellent job he does. At the Martini Bar Cleon who we have known since 2014 not only made us excellent drinks, but he broke out a deck of cards and did magic tricks just like at the Old Grand Lido during our first stay there.

Presidential swim up suite -swim up pool -bed -two bathrooms/ showers

Nice property. Room service not the best but the buffet is and there is a restaurant that serves steak and lobster included in the adult all inclusive dining which was amazing! Friendly staff and love the drinks at the swim up bar. Beautiful view and don’t miss the fire show

My family enjoyed our stay! So much to do, friendly staff, great food! 10/10 would recommend. Swim out rooms are fantastic

We loved everything about Royalton Negril. The beach was breathtaking and the Diamond Club swim out room was amazing!!

The swim up room was nice and the presidential suite was also nice

The beach is beautiful, the staff are great. We had a swim-up room which was really nice.

There were a couple areas of the resort (main pool deck and some of the swim up pool bridges) that had some deferred maintenance, but then we found out they are supposed to be getting a major remodel in those areas. It definitely did not affect our use or enjoyment of the property! Our group of 6 enjoyed all the restaurants and amenities. Beach was great, as was the swim up bar. We walked all the way to 7 mile beach- beautiful!

This is the 2nd time we’ve been here in the last 4 months. The resort is fairly dated but the people, pools and beach make up for it. My husband is disabled and is able to get his mobility scooter around the resort. We book a swim out room in the premium section to ensure the scooter can get in and out of the room. The beach is easy for him to drive yhe scooter down the ramp and push it a few feet to hard pack. Someone with zero mobility would not be able to enjoy the beach unless they built a platform a few feet to get to the hard pack. Great vacation.

I jist got hoke from Jamaica. I stayed here at Azul and oh my heavens what a magical place. 1st. The staff was super friendly and helpful. 2. The cleanliness was great. They are always Cleaning, trimming bushes, cleaning the pools ect. 3. The food was out of this world. Sooo good. I feel like all i dod was 4. The food was out of this world. Sooo good. I feel like all i did was eat but when everything is so fresh and good you have no choice. 5. The views!!! Impeccably!! I had a swim up room w/a ocean view also. Best decision ever!! I camt wait to go back

Good variety of food - loved the smoked salmon at breakfast! The staff was pleasant, friendly, helpful and fun. The beach was amazing, despite occasional jellyfish scares. Loved the free sea kayaks, SUPs. Room was amazing - comfortable bed, great towels, wonderful view of the ocean overlooking the pool and swim-up bar. There is no beach like 7-mile beach. Calm, shallow, clear water, white sand. The little huts on the beach were easily available if you got up early enough. Enough shade on the beach for those who are not sun lovers.

This hotel is the perfect place to stay in Negril with your bestie if you are looking for chill vibes and luxury on a budget! Here's what I loved about this hotel! 1. The infinity pool is an ocean-fed saltwater pool which I loved! And the grounds are very serene and chill with amazing ocean views! 2. All rooms have a furnished balcony- pick a 2nd floor room if you want ocean views or upgrade to an ocean front room! 3. When you book your massage at the outdoor spa, ask for Winsome! She gives the best massages ever! 4. The restaurant Blue Mahoe serves both traditional Jamaican dishes and American cuisine and is a farm-to-table restaurant! 5. You can have a beautiful floating breakfast in the hotel's infinity pool!

The place was like a resort with amazing views. The staff were kind and helpful and the place was clean and well kept. The salt water pool was warm and and like an infinity pool with perfect view of the ocean. Food was excellent. I would go back there again.

Ocean cliff hotel made my birthday week a 10/10 experience the staff were lovely, the property and rooms clean, the food was very authentic Jamaican cuisine. Everything I could ask for! You can eat at the restaurant or by the pool or on the lounge chairs and just watch the ocean and relax. People who don’t stay at the resort will come eat there so you know it’s good! Unlike big resorts you don’t have to wake up early and reserve a lounge chair. If you’re a big espresso drinker there is a coffee shop 2 min walk away that offers almond milk lattes! We had a candlelit dinner by the beach and chose the Jamaican items on the menu for a 4 course meal and it was soooo good! Everyone kept recommending Ivan’s for our special dinner but I enjoyed my meal hosted here more! Ivan’s does have a great view worth it to go once or twice during your trip. Tips Bring bug spray for mosquitos!!! If you’re particular about a bottle of wine or champagne buy duty free at your departing airport although the cocktails at resort are great Bring cash for taxi drivers, like 15-40$ usd per round trip outing. Negril is not really walkable. Bring ear plugs there is a bar nearby that can be loud at night

I absolutely loved this place!!! It was the first place I stayed on my Jamaica solo trip and honestly it was by far the best. The staff, food, amenities, view and location all exceeded my expectations, and that says a lot because I had high hopes for this place! There was a small hiccup at the beginning of my stay and Heather (the manager) took care of that promptly, she really cares about giving the best possible service to all of her guests and it shows ! It is the ideal place for relaxation, and good vibes. Ricardo and Lateisha are my people miss them already !! <3 The best and freshest food I had in all of Jamaica, and the infinity ocean fed pool was just amazing. The rooftop cottage was also beautiful but sometimes got some noise from the street at night, so if you want absolute peace and quiet I would suggest the ocean front villas, thanks for a wonderful stay, I will be back forsure.. one love !

The property is on the west side of Negril and is nice & quiet; it is also adults only and a key reason we chose it. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained and the rooms/bungalows are relatively new and in excellent shape. The staff were universally friendly and helpful. The restaurant lived up to the hype and everything we had was delicious. It was a little quiet in the restaurant but we didn't care as we had our pick of tables set out overlooking the sea - but it's too bad more guests didn't take advantage of the great food. We also ate lunch at the gazebo bar overlooking the sea every day and loved it. The saltwater pool is really nice and the hotel features elevated "beaches' with loungers and canvas covers for shade. The only thing we didn't like was the over-zealous use of plastic straws, especially given the proximity to the sea; time to switch to paper!

I really enjoyed our stay at Travellers. It had everything that we needed and more! Right on the beach you have the option of sun loungers on the beach or under the tree with the calm waters of Negril beach right in front of you. Alternatively, you can lie by the pool and swim up to the pool bar. There is a dive centre on site. The restaurant was great and we ate dinner there most nights. The rooms had a lovely outlook and great air conditioning. All staff were very professional and helpful.

Walking distance from downtown Negril, steps away from the beach and with a decent sized pool. The pool has a swim up bar but there was no bar service. We had a room with 2 beds and those are fairly hard to find. I had a medical emergency and the staff were very helpful, they let me call reverse charge to my insurance company and gave me tips for choosing a clinic. Our room gave access to a tiny porch with a table and chairs so we could chill just outside. We liked that it was a mixed clientele and not just foreigners. Also, awesome sunsets.

Absolutely loved that the pool was open later than 6pm. Nothing worse than doing excursions all day just to come back and cant enjoy the pool to unwind.

The place has everything you need and more, it’s right at the beach, there is a swimming pool and diving school, games like pingpong or pool,… The food is good and the barkeeper a master of blended cocktails - he makes a mean dirty banana (must try!)!

Been coming here for about 8-10 years. The staff is amazing and feel like family. They make me come back year after year! The property has been getting updated and is really nice. The renovations are going on so you have that noise but it has to be done and its now in a place that isnt that loud. The food is okay, the menu has been the same since i started coming here pretty much. I wish there were a few more desert options. The vibe use to be a little more fun and happy. Its a bit older and more quite now. Definitely have a personal speaker if you want good fun music. The pool is nice especially when its cleaned. If you need to work the wifi has been pretty good over the years (last visit it was a little in and out). The rec room is cute and cool. The pool table needs new sticks and chalk but the rec room has a desk but it would be nice if there was a dedicated space for a few ppl if they needed a quite place to work other than their room. The gym is great. Overall it went from a 3 star hotel to 4 for sure. The resort also has nights with live music and fun for all. The beach stays clean and chairs and umbrellas are great. The brothers that run the resort are awesome and remember me and my cousin every visit. Great family owned resort that is worth the money and not overly expensive like some surrounding places. I hope they keep the prices around the same. I keep coming back, sending friends and family to stay here and hope to still be coming back decades from now.

We spent one week here on the garden side in the deluxe cottage and it was perfect from start to finish! The peacefulness you feel from waking up to hearing the birds and ocean waves really set the tone for the rest of the stay! The room, bathroom and kitchen was super clean! They were missing a few things from the kitchen, like a meat board, wine glasses etc but simply let the front desk know what you want and they get it for you as the staff is amazing at accommodating you and seems really willing to help you with any inquiries you might have. You get your own yard space with the cottage and often times feeling like you’re away from all the other guests and staffs personally really added to the peacefulness. The food served at the restaurant was extremely consistent. The waiter at the bar is always prompted and ready to serve you as soon as you sit down. Dining on the sea side was beautiful as well. The infinity pools were clean and well kept as well as the rooftop pool. i love to swim so the rooftop pool being available was a big thing for me.

Location- out past the main part of Negril down a fairly lonely road, but no different than many Jamaican locations. A beautiful site for accommodation - restaurant and pools overlooking the sea, really stunning. We stayed in garden cottages which were away from the sea but in a field of sorts. Lots of trees, really nice and only 2 minutes from the restaurant/bar etc. Facilities- 3 small but beautiful salt water pools and a larger pool for swimming by the breakfast area. Rooms had everything we needed, lots of fresh towels- new ones provided daily if you wanted and daily cleaning of rooms. Everything clean, beds comfortable. No AC in garden cottages but we knew that before booking. Lots of fans and ceiling fans available- mid July and it was hot I can't lie, but not unbearable by any means. Cottages also had fridges and stove and utensils etc. Food at breakfast was delicious and generous and we thought prices were much more reasonable than lots of locations in Negril-. Staff- very friendly and helpful. Found us extra beds which I hadn't booked because we had children with us which was lovely.

Amazing views of the ocean from the premium King room as well as the views of the ocean from the 2 Rooftop Salt water pools. They have a restaurant bar that will also be open beside the rooftop pool real soon. I enjoyed the resturant inside the resort and the staff was really helpful ans nice. This place is a hidden beauty.

Very laid back! Beautiful sunset, great bar, good room, amazing view and pools too. I am going back for sure. Its a distance to get there from negril town but it was worth every mile. Pool is 24hr access which was a plus for me.

The food at the hotel's restaurant was always great and our room was clean and comfortable. We were on the ocean side and it was lovely to fall asleep to the waves at night. We went in early March and it was a very calm atmosphere which we enjoyed. The saltwater pools are great - they're small, but since there weren't a ton of folks when we went, we got the pools all to ourselves at times.

We had a wonderful time! This is the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Jamaica. The bar is cool, the pool is beautiful and so relaxing. There's plenty of access to the sea, and the view is incredible. There are even inflatable buoys available for the pool and the sea. You can jump off the rocks into the turquoise water or chill out on deckchairs hidden in lots of little corners (for extra peace and quiet). And the staff are super nice, so THANK YOU!

Loved the location, on the beautiful cliffs with a perfect spot to jump! Lovely lifeguard on. Food is out of this world amazing! Pool small but perfect to relax in and cool off! Sunbeds plotted around in private sections or closer to the bar and pool! Loved it! Felt like I was staying in paradise!! It will also hold a close place to our hearts as it’s were we got engaged!! Will 1000000% be returning!

The property location is beautiful. Staff were very nice and always making sure you had everything you need. Service in resturant slow-but excellent food. Clean rooms. Unusual few people hanging out around pool/resturant our last two days that was hassling a few guest trying to get them to “take tours of island”. The staff spoke to them friendly but did not make them leave. They were not paying guest and surprised they were allowed to sit in resturant and walk around property all day. Lastly, the construction-Owner is putting in rock over concrete and bit annoying with noise and limited sitting by the pool. We were not aware of this. Overall, relaxing and enjoyable stay.

I do not even have enough space to say all of the amazing things about this place. I have been to Jamaica a million times and I am so mad I overlooked this gem. From the very beginning I had such an amazing experience. Cassandra is one of the best managers I have ever dealt with. Isis was so nice and helpful and then I spoke with Cassandra who was amazing and Jason when we first checked in. All of them were so polite and accommodating. Every single worker at this resort was so polite and fun. The food is beyond amazing, the room was so cute and I loved the outdoor shower, the pool is open all night and we walked to ricks. The AC was so cold, the room was clean, the hammock on the porch was nice. Every single thing about this place is amazing. I will be going back in a couple months and will be booking this place for sure. Do not pass this up, it’s a hidden gem and we all just loved the entire experience here. We did stay at the riu palace a few days before this and man, catcha is 100% better!!! The staff, the room and the entire resort is way above 5 stars!!!!

Fantastic stay! We rented the Moon Cottage over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed from fresh towels to a microwave and full size fridge. AC in the bedrooms worked perfectly and the outdoor space included a table and chairs, a hammock and a day bed for lounging. We loved the outdoor shower so much we never stepped foot in the regular indoor shower. Ivan's Restaurant has a limited menu but the food was outstanding including Christmas dinner. The cliffs, pool and bar made relaxing easy and comfortable. TV in the living room had numerous apps and no buffering. The staff was always helpful and kept our space clean and stocked, Randy and the guys at the bar were very cool. There's a ton of stuff to do nearby and safety was never a concern. Highly recommend if you want to get away from the tourist beach area. There's a lovely lighthouse nearby. Sips and Bites was our fav restaurant for authentic jamaican food stuffs, just down the road.

I spent a day/ night at this charming and unique boutique hotel. The accommodations consist of separate cottages set on a windswept cliff with a fabulous restaurant and small infinity pool. There are several gazebos, hammocks and seating areas positioned to give excellent views of the sea and sky. The entire vibe is laid back and the staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms are beautifully furnished and always within earshot of the pounding surf. Two points to note. This is an adult hotel in that the stairs and facilities are not set for young kids and although there is access to the sea, sea bathing would be very risky. Aside from that it is a safe, relaxing and perfect get away location.

We went to Tensing Pen for a long weekend. Let me start by saying the property is absolutely beautiful and we would recommend this property to anyone staying in Negril. It is right on the cliffs, and you have the ocean and a beautiful pool to swim in. It is Jamaica, and if anyone has been there then you will understand that the service isn't exactly top notch. Just my opinion, but you really don't go there for service - you go there for the cliffs and ocean! All of the local restaurants offer a free pick up, so that is nice - always book the dinner reservation through the front desk.

Tensing Pen was by far one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at. The staff and team at the resort were friendly and personal. I went for my birthday and they all wished me warm wishes on the day. They went out of their way to make us feel like valued guests, something you don’t experience at a large resort. Their accommodations are wonderful and the location is a dream. From check in, to dinner to hanging out by the pool at the resort, truly an experience we will never forget. The Tensing Pen resort is the best out there.

Tensing Pen is a wonderful resort. It's romantic, clean and close to the best restaurants in Negril. We stayed on the beach for half of our stay and at Tensing Pen for the other half. We swam in the ocean and pool and napped in the hammocks. We had drinks at the bar every day and the food was awesome! We would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel. We were in Garden A and had a slight view of the ocean. If I go back, I'm upgrading to the Cone Cove hut... that one is unbelievable!

This was our 7th time in Negril although it had been 29 years since the last time. The cliffs are where we always stay. Tensing Pen was perfect for us. Beautiful, great staff, affordable food on the grounds,free continental BF. Life Guards around for both pool and ocean. This is a truly lovely place to decompress and we won't hesitate to return. I would not recommend Tensing Pen to parents traveling with young children.

Friendly welcoming vibes. Great beach location and a garden pool area. Food is delicious and our garden room was peaceful with a covered porch. Room 230 right by the pool. 🥰🇯🇲❤️💛💚

I’ve been in a grill several times and this was my favourite hotel thus far! I was really pleased by the service compared to some other hotels and it was also very clean. I loved the beach area, there was so much room for lounging and so many options for the beach chairs. Such a beautiful beach they have, the ocean is of course amazing and the trees on the beach I just wonderful. The security guards made us feel very safe and a lot of the staff was very friendly. We would like to personally shout out to Donovan and Daniel who are the father son crafts business that are located on the beach of Cocoa Palm. They were absolutely wonderful so friendly and wonderful wholesome people and not pushy to buy anything. We would also like to shout out to Steve, who is a lifeguard on the beach, several of the staff at the continental breakfast were lovely, the ladies in the gift shop, all of the maids, and especially the front desk safe especially Christoper as well as the manager. We had an excellent time and the staff just made it even better. The only thing is that there is no gym at this hotel but it’s OK because there is the best outdoor gym called the exotic gym, about two minute walk to the right down the beach. I love the view from the third floor overlooking the ocean. It’s really nice to have the options of the pools even though we didn’t go in them. It’s a great option for kids. Highly recommend and we will be back to coco (:

This is an amazing property. The staff is so friendly and professional. The pools were never crowded, the beach always had open loungers. Food from the restaurant was so great! Frozen drinks were the best in negril. Very safe beach to walk up and down. Water was wonderful for swimming. Our room was huge and our cleaning lady found (and returned) a lost diamond earring we thought was a goner. We didn’t even ask, because we assumed if she did find it it would become hers…NOPE! 2 days later she found it and left it for us on the table. This was our best vacation yet and the folks at coco la palm had everything to do with that!!! Will be back for sure!!!

Great option when traveling with kids. We enjoyed the nice pool (that almost no one uses) and of course the amazing 7 miles beach. Small boats can pick you up by the beach to go snorkeling very close. Continental breakfast was included and was quite nice (fruit or juice and patisserie). There is a restaurant in the hotel that is a good option for lunch/dinner, but also plenty of other options around.

Property was very enjoyable. Location was great!! Amenities were great(pools, hot-tub, bar, dining and grill). If I had one complaint, it is that the air conditioner filters needed cleaning. There was a cigarette odor coming from ours. To be fair we didn’t report it so it could be done while we were there.

Excellent getaway for my wife and I. The restaurant is excellent and we enjoyed many different breakfast, lunch and dinner experiences. They had top notch bartenders and we recommend the swim up pool bar with Dino and LT. We already plan on coming back and bringing friends. This is the best place to stay in Negril!

Best service, food so delicious. The beach pool along with the other pools at the hotel were amazing and beautifully made.

I loved the natural saltwater pool. Also the willingness of the zest staff to cook off menu to make sure you had exactly what you wanted. Also the lifeguards who made such a fuss of us and encouraged us to jump off the cliff as snorkel to the reef and really just took our holiday to the next level. The staff at this resort are so happy, efficient, friendly and warm that i cannot say enough about them. Kasey and Romaine and Andre and OMight and Carolyn and the wait staff at Zest - thanks for an amazing stay. The room was big and clean and beautiful and the cleaning staff on point. The hammock on the balcony is an amazing touch. My daughter lives in ours.

The Cliff Hotel staff made you feel like family, and were so friendly and helpful. The rooms are gorgeous and the property is beautiful. The restaurant was situated above the ocean with a wonderful view. The pools were really nice and the cliff side ocean access was unique. Really nice stay!

The property was small but well kept. The cliff area was magnificent. It was on the west end and on the more quiet side of Negril. But it was close to Rick’s cafe and the pool area was beautiful and the room was nice.

We are very happy that we chose White Sands for our accommodations for our recent week trip to Negril, It is a clean, friendly hotel, rooms are basic with no frills but adequate space for clothing, etc. The garden rooms are across the street from the beach but larger than the beachside rooms. There is usually a person stationed to help you cross the busy street. The pool is on the garden side and was always very clean and never busy. There is also a pool table, corn hole, and other games adjacent to the pool. Front office staff, Michelle and Francis in particular, were efficient and friendly. Ramon at the beachfront always kept the beach clean and loungers set up. We found Tara in the restaurant to be the most attentive waitress. We would definitely stay at White Sands again if returning to Negril. For us it fits our travel needs perfectly. Please note: the safes are not in the rooms, they are in the front office. This was no inconvenience to us.

The reception and security staff were very friendly and very helpful. The manager was also nice and let us change the dates of our stay which we really appreciated. Reception staff will help you will phone calls, booking taxis, and making reservations. There is a pool table and table tennis near the pool which is fun, and some books you can borrow. Our room was on the beach side so only a short walk to the beach, there were lots of sun beds and enough shade for us and the beach area was very clean. Our room was clean and we had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the balcony was nice. We liked that they offer you a choice of when you want your room cleaned. The restaurant was open for dinner most days, it has reasonable prices which are similar to other places along the beach. There are a few vegetarian options.

The hotel is nice and decent. The front desk staff are great and very welcoming. The staff did a good job cleaning the room. Security staff men and women; always had such pleasant demeanour with guests. My request for 1 King bed was met I was so happy ! I slept like a baby! The bathrooms are updated which is good. I liked being close to the office, the parking, the pool and the walk across the street to beach. I was lucky and got a room that was close and big.

The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, everything spic and span. I stayed at the garden side, so the room was surrounded by lush greenery and 5 steps from the pool. Across the street is the beach side of the hotel which provides access to a well-maintained area of Seven Mile Beach, with the hotel's own beach chairs, umbrellas, cabanas and shady trees. There is a lifeguard on duty and the bar and restaurant are right on site. Hence the hotel is perfect for a beach holiday!

I love staying at the Negril Beach Condos. The staff are incredible, it feels safe, the pool and beachside are so close, and the convenience store on property are helpful. The walk to town is about 15 minutes, taxis are easy to grab, and there's plenty of roadside jerk pans and markets. I've stayed here about four times now.

My family and I stayed in Country Country after Hurricane Beryl for 3 nights. Quiet, rustic, beautiful and clean hotel. We were in a room close by the pool and restaurant which was super convenient being we had an 10 month old baby. With us having an infant - we were hoping for a main floor unit and that’s what we got. The beach was cleaned very early in the AM which was impressive. As a family we walked the beach every morning and noticed how tidy Country Country area was compared to the other nearby hotels. The AC in the room worked well the entire time, the Vape machine for the mosquitos was useful, we both the repellent mats from the Hi-Lo supermarket across the street. The water pressure was perfect. The hot water temperate was immaculate. The breakfast options were suffice and servers were friendly and very respectful. Shoutout to Camille and Londell who we saw everyday of our trip and were pleasant to us. The only issue we had during our stay was the restaurant hours, closing at 8pm was a bit early for us and having to make the last order by 7:30pm. This made us go out for dinner in the night but it wasn’t a problem because we got to enjoy Negril. Housekeeping was friendly. Maintenance was friendly. Security at the parking lot were very nice people. We really had a great time as a family at Country Country.

The property/rooms are surrounded by foliage making you feel that you are camping in a jungle. The room are very spacious and have great air conditioning. they have separate ground floor, little bungalows and first and second-floor buildings that don’t have a building feeling as they are made if wood and fabricated wood. The pools are nice and the property is right on 7 mile beach.

My husband and I loved the food. It was raining the whole time but we loved that the pool was an option no matter what. We had it to ourselves and felt like we were in a little love bubble. Thank you.

Beautiful grounds; small and peaceful pool; relaxing atmosphere; clean, spacious and tasteful cabins; great beach chairs and beach!

Rooms were spacious. Plaza right across the street (supermarket, ATM, restaurant and other stores). Security was on point. Easy to get taxi. Breakfast was included. The Jamaica bkfst was always to salty. I did not try the pool. Beach was large area with lots of chairs. Bed linens were worn out and so were the towels. Some had holes in them.

I had stayed here @Bak A Yaad once before recently beginning my Jamaican adventure for several days and loved everything about it! So I decided to come back for sure when I extended my stay in Negril. From the fantastic location and secluded Jamaican jungle style of the resort itself, a laid-back relaxing pool deck area & refreshing pool to the convenience of having a full kitchen access, BBQ & a community clubhouse with wide screen smart TV, ping-pong table & plush couches to interact & network with other international travelers I've already extended my trip by 2 weeks with most of it staying right here, because this place just can't be beat for value & everything else are bonuses! To top all the great aspects of Bak-A-Yaad, the owner Jordan is a Jamaican & US citizen, a cool dude along with his younger brother Cameron and their absolutely sweethearts of housekeeping, Elaine & Allecia (local Jamaican mother & daughter), they keep the property pristine - hard to do considering the jungle setting & the rooms, bathrooms & showers very clean & tidy! (PS-make sure you drop the ladies a little something before you leave, they work very hard keeping everywhere clean especially the common use kitchen area!) :o) And if you decide to extend your Jamaica trip like I did or return to this little hidden gem in the near future I think you'll find them all welcoming you back like old friends & family, I did for sure, now if they'll only let me move in for good I'll be set for life! LOL!

It would be better if guests were given fresh towels every morning, and if there were lights by the pool. It's very dark and hazardous by the pool at night. Also more toilet paper and hand soap for the bathrooms would be great. Thank you!!

We only stayed here for 1 night, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Jordan kindly upgraded us to the 2 bedroom Villa. The Villa itself is lovely. Pretty spacious. Clean. Equipped with a kettle, fridge, crockery and cutlery. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. It’s like staying in your own little rain forest. They have so many fruit trees etc.. The location is excellent. Right across the road from Rick’s Cafe. Ivan’s is just down the road. Personally, I preferred Ivan’s to Ricks. Small supermarket down the road too. Big car parking area. Property was very secure. Swimming pool and communal area, which we didn’t use. Jordan was an excellent host. Very welcoming and friendly. Gave us recommendations of where to eat/visit. Also very good at communicating prior to stay. Lots of mosquitoes, so make sure you take repellent. Overall, I would certainly return if ever back in Negril and would definitely recommend. Thankyou Jordan for a wonderful stay!

Jordan, Allecia and Joanna are some of the most relaxed, welcoming and helpful hosts we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They shared their insights about the best spots to visit and went way beyond what we expected to ensure we were comfortable, happy and entertained. It was a tranquil experience for us in their gorgeous, tropical garden. We could also see how it would be an awesome place to party around the pool and common house during busier seasons. If this place isn't booked, definitely stay here!

I really enjoyed my short stay at this property. The cottages are quaint and comfortable. I felt secluded, peaceful and safe with lots of nature all around. The pool is small but adequate for a warm dip. The host was pleasant and properly introduced us to the options for dining and entertainment around the area. However Alecia, the housekeeper, was the real star of our experience. She was friendly, helpful and courteous without ever being pushy. She seems to really to enjoy intetacting with guests. I would definitely rerurn.

Finishing up our stay and it is really easy to write a five star review. By way of background, this is my 25th trip to Jamaica and first time not staying at an all-inclusive. The Tree House was amazing. We will be back. Check-in was a breeze and we received a really nice care package with some treats and towels. Out bags were brought to our suite - everything was clean and in working order. Housekeeping was prompt and did a wonderful job. This property in quaint and offers a complimentary breakfast with small buffet and made to order eggs and waffles/pancakes. Juice and coffee is also offered. Lunch and dinner prices were reasonable and nice portions of food. The resort is located in the middle of the seven mile beach. Grocery store is directly across the street with access to a bank. Lots of other restaurants, etc. within walking distance. It also offers a swimming pool and hot tub with pickleball court. We had no problems during our stay. Staff was friendly and professional. Security is visible at all times. Safety was never an issue. I was very impressed with this property and would highly recommend.

The Negril is an amazing place so much to do although this is the quiet season for them, it's better for me. There's nothing like the beach is the best beach in Jamaica. Lots of small hotels, all sorts of little restaurants. There's fast food places downtown. But I chose one of the original small boutique hotels, NEGRIL Treehouse original, but certainly kept up-to-date, clean and modern on the inside, but a very beautiful feeling and look in the gardens on the outside. The owner is usually there Ms Gail.Jackson who really tends it so much and treats her staff? So well. They have a very nice buffet breakfast in the morning. Real jamaican style food as well as continental. The beach is lovely, nice, little pool. But wow, there's the beach you're right in the center of it. You can walk either way in the morning. Very clean. And I highly recommend it

The property is very well kept. It’s located a short walking distance from a shopping area where resort guests can easily access food and clothing items, souvenirs and also banking services and a pharmacy. Staff is available to assist with crossing the busy road. There’s an on-site gift shop. Complimentary breakfast is available and served on the beach. Lunch and dinner are also available on the beach. Staff are friendly and accomodating. There’s an outdoor pool, jacuzzi and beach bar. Lounge chairs and beach towels are provided. Tours and water sports can be arranged through the front desk. The resort is located on the beach where additional hotel restaurants and bars are also along the glorious 7 mile beach.

the pool and hot tub was amazing. you could use it 24/7. beach location was excellent, the STAFF WERE very friendly and helpful. defo recommend and I will be returning

The highlight is the beach, turquoise clean clear warm water. Relaxing vibe, hotel style rooms w furnished verandah. Comfy beds & excellent showers. Refreshing pool, beachside bar. Very helpful, friendly staff serve decent breakfast adjacent to beach. Good for families. Value for money.

This resort is fairly small, but well-maintained, clean to a fault, and staffed with friendly, helpful folks. I liked that the grounds were manicured each morning, and staff attentive to our needs. Night-time noise was practically non-existent. Niceties that I would like to see are a fresh water pool, and a billing system that does a running tally WITH DATES for each transaction(meals, drinks, etc). The current system does not include dates, and therefore makes reconciling more difficult for charges made early in the stay.

No pool Beach got crowded with people coming to hotel fo day use

Our group of 7 all came to Negril, Jamaica for the first time for Dream Weekend and we must say that this hotel stay was perfect. Before we arrived, Ms. Elaine was very helpful with making sure we had transportation from Montego Bay airport to the hotel at a very reasonable rate for a group our size. The check in process was extremely easy and streamlined and we were even given delicious welcome drinks to kick off our stay. The property was extremely clean! COVID practices were being observed property wide, there was literally someone cleaning the entire time. I saw staff cleaning window panes, door handles, railing, disinfecting floors through the day and night, everything. This was extremely reassuring to see. The rooms were clean, organized and very spacious. The hot water was hot, sheets were clean and fresh, air conditioner kicking. The rooms were cleaned daily. The beds were nice and firm. The young woman who cleaned my room Kadia deserves a special shoutout as she went through the trash for me to retrieve something mistakenly thrown away, just overall excellent service. The staff at the restaurant/bar on site were superb. Raecine, Cavar, Alecia and everyone else provided excellent service and laughs the entire time. The food was delicious! Wide selection of American and Jamaican dishes. This hotel and staff were all literarily perfect. All were extremely kind and hospitable and provided for a excellent experience. We will be back next year! Maybe sooner!

Our stay at Boardwalk Village was beyond our expectations. We arrived late, and were greeted by the friendly, and helpful security guard. He walked us to our room, and made sure everything perfect. The next day, we were so pleased at our garden seating area, and even happier when we walked to the restaurant and found the sea right in front if us. Each day we ate and enjoyed real Jamaican cuisine. Every meal was so delicious , we even brought some friends to also enjoy the food, and ambiance. The host, Richard, was friendly, and greeted us by name . We were pleased by the small touches, like how each day the sand was raked, the pleasant music, the friendly waitstaff, the cool Ac, warm showers, comfy beds. This will not be our last trip to Boardwalk Village, and look forward to spreading the word about this Jewel of a find in Negril. We will be sharing your link to our Website ! Thank you, Juliet & Linda

So first and foremost I would like to take the time out to thank each and every staff that work there they all make me feel at home Alice in the restaurant Ellen in the office Samantha in the off Kevin the life guard and oneka the life guard a big thank you to all of you the problem I had was the dresser they give to us to put our clothes it was broken I reported it and they did not fix it. My major issue was with bookings I would advise any one who using booking to be care the price they have given was different when I went to the hotel it was almost $300 over the price that bookings gave to me so please be careful with bookings I reach out bookings and no one had response to me but again thanks to all the staff.

It’s a beautiful property with very nice and courteous staff. It’s more of a throw back to resorts of the 1960’s with free standing cottages so you only have one other neighbor in your building. The grounds are filled with trees and foliage. If you’re looking for nightlife, restaurants, entertainment, swim up pools and people, this is not for you. It’s quiet with a piano singer for entertainment, single buffet style restaurant for food, beach for swimming and other people for talking and communing with when company The crowd skews older and more subdued than other resorts. Many people return year after year and we plan to do the same.

Sunset at the Palms Review Sunset at the palms is a beautiful resort that definitely has a lot a potential. Notice I said potential? That’s because there is plenty of room for improvement. To start the whole resort is much smaller than I had anticipated. The staff was definitely the best part of the resort. Everyone was friendly and polite. I felt welcomed from the very beginning. The pool is barely worth putting your trunks on to get into. The bartenders are hit and miss on even some of the simplest of drinks. Those two facts make the swim up bar feel gimmicky rather than luxurious. The resort also faces the challenges of its location in attempting to keep the resort clean. One of the treehouses had so many bees flying in and out of a crack that I wonder if there was a hive. I recommend you do not eat or drink in your room. My room had an ant problem that reared its ugly head when I fell asleep with a beer can on the side table. It’s clear that the resort tries to minimize this by encouraging eating and drinking in the designated areas. Not being able to eat in your room without an infestation is certainly not what I had planned for a relaxing getaway. The taxi drivers are friendly and polite, but make sure you negotiate the price up front. I paid for a driver and I thought we had agreed on the price for the whole day. Then when I got out of the club at the end of the night he juiced me for an additional fee. I only went to the club on his suggestion. 😕

The rooms were unique and more like a tree house feel or cabin feel. The staff was amazing is all areas. This is the best beach I have been on will total sand in the water, no rocks. We spent the majority of our time in the water. There was plenty of shade if you needed to be out of the sun. Food and drink service was provided at the beach. If you don't like crowds, noise or lines this is a great choice. You get a lush jungle experience. Cons: This is a very small resort with one buffet, one restaurant and a beach grill. Limited night life, piano singer, house band, karaoke. Very tiny pool, but a swim up bar. Loud frogs and crickets at night and you can hear them when inside. Rooms need some updates, but clean. Many in my party said they would return. I would too, but I prefer a different hotel every time I travel.

The accommodations were different than other resorts I have stayed at and I loved it! The rooms are private “tree huts” surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens. There is a balcony with a table and two chairs as well as a day bed, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. The bathroom was nice with a walk in shower, large closet and safe for valuables. While it could have used some updates, the room and bathroom were clean and well stocked. Everyone at Sunset Palms were so friendly and helpful. Navado and Claudette were especially memorable and I hope they are there when I visit again! I can’t say enough about the pool, pool bar, Irie Martini Bar and Piano Bar! Fantastic!! I had never stayed at a resort that was not beachfront, however the walk to the beach is super short being just across the street. There is a crossing guard that stops traffic so resort guests can cross. As soon as you hit the beach there is a Sunset Palms assistant handing you towels and helping you find chairs. There is a nice beach bar and grill and they do have beach service if you don’t want to go to the bar. All the facilities were very clean. The food was good but the shining stars of this resort are the tree huts and definitely the staff! I can’t wait to return!

property was very unique being a tree house amongst the vegetation, all sorts of different foliage & the variety of birds were amazing. At night it came alive with all different calls & whistles from the wildlife. The staff at this property were amazing from sedesa [ concierge ] serving staff Timika, Claudette, Leon to name a few, pool bar staff Britany & co, Lifeguards Easy, Rasta, to name a few all were brilliant. Brenda for the massage, Jamie the porter, house keeping was also spot on. sorry I cant remember anymore names but all were brilliant. Food was really good didn't get fed up with it like I usually do after the first week. The Lotus bar was good for food off the menu. Pool was smaller than I anticipated but we were out of season so it didn't matter on this occasion. To get to the beach you need to leave the hotel & cross the main Rd where security staff stops the traffic for you to cross it all sounds a lot of bother but honestly it doesn't take 5 minutes & you wont be disappointed, best beach I have been on & the sea is warm. Again the staff that serves food & drink in the beach bar are brilliant. Also a shout out to the ground staff for keeping the grounds around the rooms clean & tidy there's also a little tour of the grounds if you want to take & they will give you all the info you need about the plants. Would definitely go back.

A charming place. Colleen at reception is wonderful. The regular rooms are nice and stylish with great terraces (if you're not staying in the 01's where you hear the street noise). The larger rooms are much nicer. The food was very good. It is small...so more chill than lively. The only slight disappointment is no amenities except for 2 paddleboards and one kayak. There's a long empty are next to the walkway ...seems a hot tub, dipping pool...or even a game court would be great.

I love the staff very welcoming but there are no amenities at all its just a room and the beach. The bar is there but not the best hotelnto be during covid because its no entertainment or even a pool. I this its over priced for what you get.

I knew that I wanted to return to Negril,albeit 25 years later, and this time to experience the beautiful 7 mile beach with 17yo daughter. I wanted to stay at a modest, boutique hotel this time, and not an all inclusive. Idle Awhile looked interesting on paper but the reviews were mixed. I want to thank the reviewer who gave it 5 stars, who wrote that he has been a frequent guest over the years. His review seemed genuine. The reviewer who wrote that her room was mosquito infested must have mistaken this Idle Awhile Beach hotel for a different one. I did not see one mosquito my entire trip! Of course, everyone should bring insect repellant regardless of their destination. Ok, now to specifics: The check in was seamless, thanks to Carleton! The room was airy and spotless, and the beds soft and neatly made. Our bathroom had every toiletry imagine able! The free welcome rum punch was well made and not weak at all! The bartender, the older Carleton ( or the "real Carleton," as he called himself), was friendly and attentive. Above all was Marcia- she literally served as an EveryWoman! She waited always at the front of the property to walk us across the street, like a crossing gaurd! Why did we cross the street? To get to the other side of course, where the best roadside restaurant was located, called "Best in the West." They served a wonderful conch soup, jerk chicken, and made the smoothest Pina colada ( both virgin and alcoholic).

Idle Awhile was amazing from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles from all around. Reception informed us of the covid test options. They have a traveling nurse that can be scheduled to come to your room. Nice and easy. Security was top notch for those that are concerned about that stuff. We had not worries about going for swims, walks or back to the room for all the things that you inevitably forget everyday :) Lifeguards were always on hand and available to help with anything you needed, setting up and moving chairs, helping with fresh towels, etc. The restaurant and bar was staffed by an extremely personable and funny crew. Anything we needed was provided. Bucket of ice, pot of coffee brought to the room, extra towels, etc. Cannot wait to go back!

This is my second time staying here and I absolutely love it. It is small and quaint, well maintained, with excellent staff and it is located RIGHT on the beach. Absolutely convenient. It's great for families if that is your sort of thing. I went with my parents and friend and had a great time. You feel like you're staying at local apartments versus some large touristy resort. My family is from Jamaica so I personally prefer this more authentic-feeling kind of hotel. Security is there 24/7 so you'll always feel safe and the bar staff are so nice. I'll be back again next year!

Breakfast was great - selection of Jamaican, full english/american, etc... served to your table with fruit starter. Plenty of coffee and juice. Room was a good size with 2 double beds and pool view balcony. Though decor is a little tired in places the hotel has a lovely local feel to it totally different to the all-inclusives. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Attractive pool area surrounded by plants. Beautiful beach is just across the road. Location is ideal in the middle of 7 mile beach with many bars and restaurants nearby. Towels provided for pool and beach.

We had a pleasant stay at the Rayon Hotel in January 2025. The rooms were not fancy but quite adequate. The bathroom was ok - some upgrading required. The showers were ok - Jamaica is experiencing a water crisis and there is a water shortage . The pool is unheated and even in Jamaica , a pool could be cold I would suggest heating the pool for the winter season so make it more enjoyable for the guests to enjoy. The grounds were tropical and well groomed. Breakfast is included and a good selection to chose from and cooked to order. The food at this restaurant is very good and we would recommend the coconut shrimp - so good! There was a "customer appreciation night" food and drinks were included and a DJ played music. Fun! Great staff also, helpful and friendly. Couples come to this hotel every winter, speaking to customer satisfaction with the hotel. Upon checkout we received a gift of coffee and rum samples. There was not much problem to cross the road to SUN Beach and the rooms at the back are quiet. Thank you Rayon Hotel for everything!

Absolutely loved our stay at rayon. Everything was perfect. It is a lovely smaller hotel that is clean and has a wonderful local feel. All the staff there are fantastic, they are so nice and helpful. It is just across the street from the beach. You can use the chairs and umbrellas at sun beach for no cost. Which is a great place to hang out during the day. The restaurant at the hotel has really good food and we ate there quite a bit. It takes a little bit to get food but that is ok. Place your order and hang out by the pool. The included breakfast was very tasty and filling. Nice bar by the pool. Hotel helped with shuttles from airport and for other activities. Highly recommend. Would definitely go back!!!

This was by far the beat place i've stayed in Negril! The property is not on the beach but there is beach access right across the street. They have a beautiful pool to lay poolside. The staff was friendly and had daily housekeeping service. The water was hot and plentiful. I only wish the bar was open and there was music playing throughout the property to make it seem a bit more livelier. I would definitely stay at this property again actually I didn't want to leave just yet. A full kitchen was very nice I was able to prepare my own meals, minus breakfast because that was provided free with our stay every day!

My husband and I took a wonderful trip from rainy Seattle to Negril. Jamaica this February. The hotel we were trying to book was full for our dates and I was redirected to the Rayon Hotel. While not directly on 7-mile beach, it’s just across the highway. Our accommodation, including a small kitchenette, was at the back of the building on the second floor with a lovely view of the Jamaican countryside. A small staircase led to our very private room and its inviting veranda where we fully enjoyed the raucous sounds of birds in the morning and crickets in the evening. The hotel itself includes a restaurant, small bar, pool and several areas around the pool for relaxing and enjoying the Jamaican climate and vibe. Full breakfasts (always served with delicious fresh fruit) were included in the room rate. Not being directly on the beach was a bit of a drawback, but the hotel has arrangements with the two establishments across the highway and we were able to access beach chairs and beach bars without difficulty. The staff was consistently helpful and friendly. We would certainly recommend The Rayon Hotel to travelers who enjoy a reasonable rate and low-key relaxed atmosphere.

Our week at Couples Swept Away was amazing! Even though we went during the off season, the staff, amenities and food were top shelf. Our dinner at Feathers was made extra special by Joshshia, our fantastic server. We both had the beef tenderloin, and it was delicious. We had great service at the swim up bar by both Shanna and Timroy. The sports facilities were tge best we've ever seen at an all-inclusive resort, and Donovan and Stephen made sure we were updated on all the classes and activities!

The property was clean. The food was excellent. There were a few workers in the food areas that made you feel as though your a burden. Service was VERY slow. Bar tenders and servers were fast but not when it came to being waited on or being served. No entertainment in the evenings. Swim up bar is small. Don't order an omlette - it will take a half hours to 45 min

The included activities, dining and drinking options and quality, as well as free shuttles to area excursions are incredible. The resort staff make you feel welcome and encourage guests to participate in everything you can squeeze into your time at the resort. The fitness center and spa made it easy to have a nice morning workout, followed by some laps in the pool, and a game of pickleball, or tennis and even squeeze in a massage if you enjoy them. The juice/smoothie bar made for a great finishing touch. Plan ahead and make your reservations for dinner at Feathers or Lemongrass restaurants and you won't be disappointed. Patois patio restaurant also has great food and doesn't require reservations. The jerk chicken at the Scotch Bonnet poolside restaurant is amazing and the burgers and other fare like authentic Jaimacan Pattis are also very good. The buffet style offerings at the Palms are venerally good with a large variety to choose from. Tons of nightlife fun can be had at either the martini bar or the Aura nightclub/piano bar. Connect with the staff a d embrace in the activities offered, and you'll have a great time!

We were there during the hurricane and cannot praise Karen and her team enough. We were kept informed at all times and were made to feel safe and secure through a scary time. The staff were worried about their families and homes but still looked after those of us who couldn't get home with cheery professionalism. When the hotel reopens I would definitely recommend anyone to visit. The food is delicious in all restaurants and the rooms are clean and spacious with huge beds! The beach is absolutely gorgeous. We are normally pool people but did not spend any time around the pool during our holiday - the beach is just too special! The main reason we will certainly return is the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful - the gardeners, waiting staff, reception and cleaners all had smiles and were always happy to help. Special mention to Orlando, Kamal and Rochelle in Palms but a big thank you everyone there for looking after us so well!!

This property is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is awesome. The food was excellent, the staff was excellent and we love the beach bars, which most resorts do not have. What we didn't like is the pool was very dirty the day we were in it. Crap flooting everywhere. They really need to redesign the entire pool bar area to make it more user friendly and fun. The property overall needs to be updated as many new resorts have come to Jamaica.
