Weekend visit
Pros:

Whilst checking in I could tell Chanese was a rookie. Hence a newbie , this grown woman was there being a condescending but I brushed that off as I knew when you’re new that was expected because I’m in the industry. After checking in by the elder lady I was escorted to my superior room. This is where the DISASTER started! Pee in the toilet, no soap , no toilet paper as if the room hasn’t been dealt with all day. The grounds were trash as if I was in the ghetto. -2/10 don’t recommend. Do the restaurant and ask for Leslie I think that her name and Jessica. Food is to tier. DONT STAY ON THE HOTEL ROOMS.

Pros:

I have been to Jamaica many, many times over the years. Things have markedly deteriorated since the pandemic and have also gotten much more expensive. This hotel was OK but the area around it has deteriorated.

Hidden Gem on the Cliffs – Perfect Day at Xtabi!
Pros:

We spent the day at Xtabi Resort in Negril and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! This beautiful cliffside spot offers everything you could want for a relaxing and adventurous day.

We started by exploring the caves—absolutely stunning—and then did some cliff jumping, which was thrilling yet safe. The sea was calm and crystal clear, perfect for a bit of snorkelling too.

A special shoutout to Georgette at the bar, who was so warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We spent some time sunbathing on the cliffs before enjoying a delicious lunch—the fish burgers and wings were amazing.

After lunch, we were kindly offered the use of the private pool, tucked away in a peaceful garden surrounded by fruit trees. We had the whole area to ourselves—pure bliss!

To finish off the perfect day, we headed back to the restaurant and watched the sunset over the ocean. Simply breathtaking.

Xtabi isn’t just a resort—it’s an experience. Highly recommend visiting, even just for the day. We’ll definitely be back!

Pros:

This is a property that boasts some of the best views from the cliffs in Jamaica. Located on the Westend there are many amenities on property as well as surrounding it. Staying cliff side is the best with most rooms having air conditioning. Make sure to stop by the bar for one of their famous drinks and enjoy some of the best food.

Pros:

Beautiful property and grounds well taken care of. Friendly staff. Caves were very cool and easy to access. Restaurant food was very good but pricey with small quantity. Only issue for me was shower head. Bad water pressure. I would absolutely return

Pros:

The property needs to be updated. Furniture and bedding old fashioned. Had to ask for towels daily. Toilet was broken. Had to use the garbage can to get water from outside and flush the toilet. I came to ja for my aunt funeral 4 night/ 5days and expected better. Will not be returning. Thats why i stay at all inclusive when i go with my wife and son

Another great stay at Xtabi
Pros:

We were at Xtabi in December, and decided to take our twin girls for a quick trip to celebrate their college graduations a week ago. They have a great two bedroom cottage by the pool, which we enjoyed. Everything was perfect as usual. The staff at Xtabi is fantastic. We really appreciate Michael and Paul, who are there to help us with anything we need. The office staff is great, and the restaurant has some of the best service in Negril. They also give you rolls and a cup of soup to start your meal, which is also rare in Negril. It is such a great location and value. We will continue to stay there every year until the boss man decides to kick me out. There is no way he would kick out my wife, because she is a goddess!!

Pros:

Stayed in cottage #2 for 4 nights on the cliffs before I headed to 7 mile beach. Staff was warm and inviting. Food and drinks were good, especially the fish and rum punch! Loved the outdoor shower. The best part was opening the French doors in the morning to my private patio on the sea! And hearing the crashing waves all night from my room was wonderful. I will visit again!

Pros:

It was our first time staying on the cliffs in Negril. You are kind of in the middle of it all at Xtabi, so be willing to walk or take a ride for a destination. Room was rustic, but nice. No coffee pot or tv, but had a fridge. Was able to rent a coffee pot, but not a given. We had the first cottage from bar/restaurant and was right on cliff side, view was breathtaking. Would not recommend staying with children here, road is too narrow to maneuver, ocean too rough and pool was not super kid exciting.
