Idle Awhile Cliffs

We stayed here for 4 nights in an ocean front villa (3 of the nights were in room 3 and 1 night was in room 2). The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and secluded. It's so quiet that really feels like you are staying at someone's home rather than a hotel. So, if you're looking to relax, this is an ideal place for you. The freshwater pool is lovely and, if the sea is clam, you can take the ladder down the cliff and swim, which we did. Because the hotel is at the far end of the west end road, there is not much to walk to but Uber is in Negril now, so you can take one (or a more expensive taxi) to eat/swim/explore one of the other locations on the cliffs or the beach. The rooms were very clean and well-appointed with very comfortable beds. The outdoor and the indoor showers were both fantastic. The villas had the most amazing views of the sea and it was great just to hang out and read on the upper balcony in the hammock. There is a small bar/restaurant on-site and everything we had there was great. Everyone on staff is absolutely wonderful - they're the best. The only tips I can provide are to plan accordingly if you want to have dinner at/from the on-site restaurant or take the free van to the beach location. We were not good at planning ahead and did not always tell the front desk that we wanted to go to the beach the following day and so missed the van once as it left earlier than the 10:30 am pick up time. On the days the van came late, this was not a problem. And we tried ordering dinner at 6:30 pm but the restaurant had closed 30 mins early. These missteps were our fault since it's a very small hotel, it makes sense that they don't maintain extra staff on-site if they don't think they'll be needed - just remember to communicate with the staff earlier than we did! It's an amazing place and I highly recommended it.

Very rustic and secluded loved the feeling of been surrounded by nature, had a peaceful stay. Great staff. Hopeton from the bar very friendly and gives excellent service.

Super views, lovely accommodation Fabulous and beautiful. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Villas were amazing. Lovely quiet area, but sometimes some noise nearby (music) and dogs barking in the night. Great pool and bar/restaurant area. But note that it shuts at 7pm and there's not a lot else nearby. Food and drinks were very good.

Extremely beautiful

Quiet property with rustic feel. It was away from night noise and traffic. Slept like a baby! Close to other good entertainment spots and easy to reach the beach!
