We stayed 5 nights - from March 26th to 31st. The positives: - very relaxing atmosphere. We lived off the recharged batteries for quite some time after the vacation - food on average is good but not outstanding. We found the best were the lobster, fish tacos and soups. All seemingly nutritious - staff overall are very friendly, discrete and... More

We recently returned from a week stay in Jamaica, with 2 nights at The Caves. We spent time in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Negril and The Caves stay was the highlight of our trip. Next trip to Jamaica will include more time in Negril and The Caves. As you'll read time and again, the views on the cliffs are... More

If you want an experience like you see on The Bachelor, this is the place to go! The minute we arrived we had an incredible calm.

We have been back 3 weeks, and I'm still not sure if I would go back. First, the views are amazing. The cliffs and stone walls are just so pretty. I kept thinking that I was on a Greek island. Just beautiful. And so quiet. Nothing worse than going to a party resort and being kept up all night by... More

We spent three days here after our wedding and we can't stop talking about it. Impeccable service, sublime sexiness, decadent privacy, overwhelming aura of plush and relaxation. Rooms were insanely cool and comfortable, food was ridiculously satisfying, scenery and environs were spectacular. We spoiled ourselves with a daily oceanside massage and never once regretted the cost. Worth the extra effort... More

This is one of - if not the - best hotels I've ever stayed in. It's romantic, but not naff. Exclusive but not intimidating. Luxurious but not ridiculous.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Caves sits along the limestone cliffs of the West End of Negril, right next to the famous Negril Lighthouse in Jamaica. Although situated only a few miles away from the bustling town center, this private enclave is a world apart. Eleven handcrafted wood and stone thatched-roof cottages, plus a 4-bedroom fully self-contained luxury villa, are interwoven between ten acres of lush vegetation and naturally formed volcanic caves. Quaint stone pathways wind through the limestone cliffs dotted with palm, sea grape and dogwood trees overlooking the Caribbean Sea. An arrangement of coral stairs and walkways lead to sundecks with uninterrupted views of the sea and sky, and grottos with turquoise water pools and fossilized marine life. A tropical reef system comes right up to the edge of the cliff, perfect for snorkeling. Guests can climb down ladders into the sea or take a leap from several “jump points,” the highest of which is 30 feet! An intimate, private and unique resort, The Caves is perfect for romance and relaxation.The Caves generally does not accept children under 16 years old. Exceptions must be cleared with the hotel management. ... more   less
