Idle Awhile Cliffs

This is probably the 8 th visit. Idle Awhile Cliffs has 7 places to stay. Fred and I had an oceanfront Villa(there are 3 of villas and 4 garden suites). One upstairs master 2 full baths a kitchen!!!and a dining area plus a Queen down —2 oceanfront terraces- one of them with a hammock - incredible views!$200 a night- no lie! Our sister and son had another villa and our friends ( first time to Jamaica 🇯🇲- loved it!) had a garden Room. Clean quiet and sublime. Sandria is the manager and she is first class and always welcomes us home with a warm smile and embrace - (her hand made bags are beautiful btw) Noko the chef is just lovely and talented- his food is delicious and the setting is surreal- our own private paradise- let’s not forget Claudia and Leona who do a great job as servers- Tashia makes sure the rooms are spic and span…the beds and linen are A+. I can’t forget Monday—- he and other takes meticulously care of the grounds. Only complaint I have was the loud and obnoxious music ( not reggae!) 2 properties over that went until 2 am . But who can control that? I love that they don’t have a problem at all with giving you such value- so refreshing and kind….One Love 🇯🇲and Respect

Idle Awhile Cliffs is absolutely breathtaking! If you want the most relaxing experience go to the cliffs! The food is delicious, the employees are lovely, and the rooms are beautiful and clean. Its slow pace makes you relax in a way I never had before. The views are spectacular sunrise and sunset! Thank you Sandria and team!!!

I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern about the deplorable experience my sister and I endured during our stay at Idle Awhile Cliffs in December 2023. Our decision to select your property for my birthday celebration was based on making reservations for a private beach dinner on the evening of my birthday. Colleen, whom we understood to be the wedding coordinator, assured us that she would personally handle the decoration and coordination of our special evening. However, on the night of my birthday, our plans took a disheartening turn. Upon arriving for dinner, the staff on duty informed us that they did not know of our private dinner reservation. Immediate contact with Colleen revealed a shocking response: "We didn't confirm the reservation." Despite finalizing all communications and paperwork a month before our arrival, Colleen suggested that "we should have reminded her to do her job." This exchange was both unprofessional and unacceptable. Despite the setback, my sister and I decided to make the best of the situation and stay for dinner. Unfortunately, the evening took an even more distressing turn when one of the staff made an offensive and racially insensitive comment, stating, "Negroes don't throw away food." This level of disrespect was not only appalling but deeply hurtful. Subsequent attempts to address the situation with the supervisor, Jermaine, proved futile. Jermaine, who claimed he was at home and unable to assist, promised to call back after consulting with the general manager, Mr. Roach. Unfortunately, no such callback was received, ruining our birthday celebration and our perception of the staff and management at Idle Awhile Cliffs. During our stay, we were dismayed to discover that the security personnel shared insights into the treatment of guests and staff, suggesting that such instances are not isolated. The revelation that staff members are reportedly treated even worse and lack basic provisions such as lunch is deeply concerning. As someone born in Jamaica who later migrated to the United States, it saddens me to witness the mistreatment of guests and staff in an industry that significantly benefits from tourism. I implore you to investigate these matters promptly, take corrective actions, and address the systemic issues affecting both guests and staff at Idle Awhile Cliffs. Furthermore, I wish to express my concern about the lack of communication. It has now been over a week, and regrettably, I have not received any follow-up or communication from anyone at Idle Awhile Cliffs. Timely and transparent communication is crucial in resolving these issues and restoring faith in the establishment's commitment to customer satisfaction. Your immediate attention to this matter is crucial, as the reputation of your establishment and the welfare of your guests and staff are at stake. I trust you will take the necessary steps to rectify these issues and prevent similar incidents.

rustic and relaxing

This was our first time ever staying on the cliffs at Idle Awhile - The Cliffs. It was a beautiful property, but what really made our stay spectacular was Hopeton. Hopeton was always so prompt, courteous and made us feel so at home. He kept his work stations immaculate and we really enjoyed his company. He is someone that you can tell really loves his job.

Nacko- the head chef at The Cliffs is an amazing culinary artist. He will make you traditional Jamaica fare that will melt in you mouth. Must have red snapper and curry shrimp and is to die for. He totally is vibe all himself. You don’t want to leave.

Spent 5 days at IdleAwhile Cliffs with family. I’ve stayed at the beach probably but the Cliffs is a very special experience. The staff at both properties are exceptional and took care of our every need! Can’t wait to return!

I'd like to write a great review but our last day there a home 2 doors down the street had music blasting from 10am untill 2 am nonstop. no escape from it and no help from staff or local police. I'm glad we didn't come with more people

This was our combined 4th trip to Negril. This property was recommended from a friend because we wanted to stay in on e spot for 2 weeks. This little gem is perfection. There are not enough words to describe how perfect this location and little boutique hotel turned out to be. We have just returned home yesterday and have booked for next March. The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The staff was amazing. The pool was even enjoyable and we are not pool people. Nothing but excellent ratings for this place. You will not be disappointed!!!

Enjoyed my stay . Negatives : The neighbor was playin loud music Saturday 9 at night till ? The mosquitoes had a feast in my room until I asked them housekeeping staff to “kill any you see!” (They sprayed it). Positives: friendly staff including young lady at the desk at night, dining staff, housekeeping, staff, quiet location ( minus sat night) view , pool, ocean swimming off the rocks. Felt like we had the the whole place to ourselves . Price has been adjusted to fit the market.
