It is hard to explain how AWESOME the experience was staying at Citronella, but I will try my best. It was my first time leaving the states so I had no idea of what I was in for. Just getting off the plane and taking a cab to Negril was a life experience. I met the coolest cab driver Nai,... More

I just returned from a 8 night stay at the Cove House, three days of which I was by myself and the next five days with a good friend and it was a perfect vacation. After a day or two my mind slowed down and I was able to relax. I thought I would not like being alone since I... More

Our family of 5 just got back from our stay at Citronella. Let me say that pictures cannot do this place justice. The location is excellent, and the way that the resort is laid out gave us much desired privacy. While this is not a "fancy" resort, it is one of the most relaxing and comfortable places we have ever... More

Stayed at Citronella with a group of friends and had a very relaxing time. Citronella is perfect if you want to get away and not have to deal with a "tourist"-type vacation ambient. It's a good place to disappear to and escape the ongoings of the outside world. I stayed in the Cove House and the view is so beautiful... More

Our Citronella experience was so much more than my husband and I had expected! The relaxed ambiance of this place just takes your breath away. It is an extremely private establishment. The staff members were great, very helpful and pleasant. I had a chance to meet the owners of Citronella, Cathy, John and their talented son, Adrian. I don't think... More

Just got back from the best family vacation. There is only one word needed - Paradise! This place is amazing and so relaxing. Cathy, John and all the staff are so nice and very helpful. Anything you need they always had an answer or a recommendation. It was so peaceful to hear the waves at night and the views are... More

Thank you Citronella for yet another amazing experience! I have been staying with you since the 80"s, and I am more in love with this beautiful place every time. From the welcoming staff and accommodating owners John and Cathy,you will want for nothing. The view from our porch of the cove house is simply breathtaking, and the water feels like... More

A sigh of joy, a smile of contentment, a heart full of memories... This is what we feel every time we step on to the veranda of the Cove House at Citronella. We have been staying here since the early 80's. We love the rustic beauty of the house and the lush vegetation that surrounds us. The view of the... More

When we were planning our 2013 vacation, we thought on Jamaica as a target to get to know some of this different world. We live in Santiago, Chile, and were excited to travel to the Caribbean and make the most of it. We summarize the Citronella stay for us as the “real Jamaican experience”. My wife, daughter and me stayed... More
