Home Sweet Home Resort

Only spent two nights in Negril at Home Sweet Home resort prior to traveling the island. Negril is a very small sleepy town with plenty of bars and any other party needs well within reach but very little in the way of restaurants or shopping. Perfect for some, not for others. Can’t imagine children would love it. The resort itself is in a good location and the few staff I saw were very friendly. The place is VERY dated and a bit on the dirtier side but not bad. I had fun. My parents would have left. There’s a small pool but the star of the show is the cliff jumping and good snorkeling right on site. That’s specifically why I booked there and it went to plan. By 10pm it’s pretty well dead there, and it was a weekend. Grocery store down the street and a dispensary directly across. No specific complaints but unlikely to return to Negril. Even if I did would most likely stay elsewhere but at $120 a night it was okay.

The swimming off the cliff was world class. The towels were fluffy and the food made by Junior was delicious. Anna and Tina and everyone was so helpful and friendly. A lovely place for low key relaxation, amazing swimming and views and fantastic food.

Cliff-side location was very scenic, nice landscaping and pool area with stairs down to access water for swimming or snorkeling. But, lots of junk lying around perimeter, empty beer bottles outside buildings never picked up. Room wasn't as nice as I expected. Bed was comfortable, but not "Tempur-Pedic mattress" nor "Premium Bedding". Hotelscom & Expedia listings both say rooms have microwaves, but direct hotel website shows only some rooms with microwaves. Ours did not. Biggest problem was the restaurant. One of two chefs was out sick for the duration of our stay. Food orders took 1.5 to 2 hrs to be fulfilled. Suggestion was to pre-order meals, i.e. order dinner at lunchtime, which we did once successfully. The second time we tried this we showed up for our pre-ordered dinner and there was no staff at the restaurant at all and no one showed up with our food or an explanation. Nearby food/restaurant choices are very limited. The highway is not very pedestrian friendly to walk any distance, so you have to take a taxi which gets expensive. We were there with friends and expected to save $ by sharing a taxi, but were charged per person/couple.

I booked a deluxe room with seaview and when i checked in i was bought to a room and i thought after entering there was a seaview but there was not. I went back out Immediately to the office to the individual who checked us in and the security guard said he was no longer available. It now maxe it totally transparent that this was a bait and switch. There was no other rooms available according to the security guard and ocean front rooms are usually more money. The room was swellt as if there was sewage issues, tv did not work and I couldnt connect to the internet as the office for check in was closed.

The place was really nice for swimming and jumping off the cliffs. The owner seemed really nice. I’d stay again.

O'k but a lot con be done to improve the property. The breakfast experience was good!

The View from the Room breathtaking. Only good feature. Would NEVER stay at this hotel again.No in room cleaning service despite tipping first day. Sheets had faded blood stains. Had to ask for clean towels and toilet paper daily. Staff rule the resort and do as they please.

Beautiful views. Shabby property. Unpleasant staff at restaurant. Rooms never cleaned.

The hotel was very run down. I really liked the location. The views were stunning and we snorkeled right off of the property.

What a quaint little gem! Our room was clean and comfortable. The view is amazing. This is not a “5 star” chain hotel so if you are looking for that experience this is not that . If you are looking for friendly staff, clean and well taken care of property this is it. I loved drinking coffee on the cliff area. We missed sunset but I know it must be gorgeous to see from here.
