The Westender Inn

The Westender Inn is a little slice of paradise carved carefully into the far west cliffs of Jamaica. The grounds are beautiful kept by Mr. Green and crew with tropical flowering trees, bushes, and plants throughout the property. Situated on the far west the sunsets are glorious and you can view them from a nearly every corner. We caught a few from comfy little cabanas and the three salt water infinity pools perched on the edge of the fossilized coral cliffs. There are 2 restaurant areas with full bars on the property that offer the Jamaican cuisine essentials with a variety of fruits and vegetables grown on property. For excursions off property the awesome staff is super happy to set you up with reservations and transportation. Free shuttles to 7mile beach run three times a day. You’ll be dropped off at “The Whistling Bird” and have full access the their private beach. It’s like a sister property to the Westender which gives you the opportunity to experience a whole different beautiful little resort. Even the 400 foot walk from entrance to beach is breathtaking strolling through a beach side tropical shady garden. For short money you can reserve a shuttle to any of the local attractions, (Rick’s Cafe, blue hole springs, Barney’s flower and hummingbird botanical garden.) be sure to have staff make a reservation at Barney’s. He is a gem of a dude so long as you make reservations haha. Tino or maybe Raheem will get you safely to your destinations. I could rattle on. Just go!

This was our second year staying here and we loved it was much as last year. The staff and owner are friendly, transportation to the beach is easy, the pools are beautiful and well maintained, and it’s quiet in the evenings compared to the beach.

Nice big rooms beautiful view awesome staff.

Beautiful place with great, attentive staff!! Will definitely be back!!

I arrived at the property at about 11:15 PM with all the numerous flight delays. Everything was closed down at the hotel. I was dehydrated from the trip and there was no water in the room. Security had to unlock the dining area to get me water. There was no food to purchase. Good thing I had protein bars in my luggage. There was no phone in the room in case I had an emergency situation. There wasn’t even a remote to turn on the TV.

The food was excellent, my favorite was the Brown Stew Chicken, Soup, and the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. Ramona, Nelia, and Natasha made beautiful drinks. Natasha made great conversation and was our favorite server. Infinity Pools were our spot, watching the crabs on the rocks and waves crash giving an unforgettable show. Snorkeling was amazing when it was calm enough, only 2 days out of 10. Mr Brown was kind and made sure we were always taken care of. There was a gentleman in the office almost everyday, I'm ashamed I forgot his name, but he was so kind and attentive with all my questions, he loves the Red Dragon Pork :) too so the management can know whom I am speaking of he deserves recognition. The Gardens were so beautiful and well kept! We will definitely be back!

Quiet and secluded.

Wanted to love this place, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. We didn’t realize it’s Sooooo far away from Any civilization/market/restaurants. Our first night there was very limited food options. They were out of EVERYTHING. Power outages, then the lights in our rooms light and fan would randomly turn on in the middle of the night. Over the next 6 days, no hot water-we reported and finally we reported it again and the heating module was out and replaced and fixed, No room service, Never a full menu, no ice, no ice bucket, no juice, no limes, it was basically comical. Then you have to pay basically $40 (2ppl) for a trip into town to eat somewhere else. They do have a free shuttle that will take you to a sister property on 7 mile beach. Breakfast was good, burger, tuna sandwich and jerk chicken sandwich was good as well. I guess I should have done more research, it’s just to remote and not all the staff was helpful. This was our 4th trip to Negril and our usual spots were full so we know and love the area. My suggestion to make your stay here better, rental car, bring snacks and keep your water bottle so you can refill it and keep in mini fridge. Buy duty free liquor and make a day using their free shuttle to 7 mile. Walk to beach, find the Patty man, barter for gifts and search for shells yourself-they are in waist deep water. Have the grounds keeper at the sister property Whistling Bird to clean your shells. At the Westender bring your pool floats and snorkeling stuff

Property is at the very end, great view and quiet. Staff at the dinning were great. Check in staff could be better and they need to answer their phones.

A gem away from all the hustle and bustle of the beach. Definately where you should go to get away from it all. Sitting in the salt pool listening to the waves crash against the rocks was so peaceful. Restaurant onsite served excellent food. Grounds are beautiful and lush. Rooms are very clean
