Although the nearest beach is a 12-minute ride away, Caves is most atmospheric and elegant small inn on the island! Food was outstanding! The private dinner in the cave was out of this world. Make sure you jump off all of the cliffs.If you want to experience pure bliss book The Caves right now!

Lucky us, this was at least our 8th trip to Negril and our third stay at The Caves. This time it was a family experience, our 80 yr. old mother wanted to take her five adult children and their partners on vacation, so our group had six of the one-bedroom accommodations on the property. My husband and I stayed in... More

My husband and I stayed at The Caves at the end of May for our 15th wedding anniversary. What can I say that hasn't already been said?! It was relaxing, intimate and romantic.

My husband and I just returned from a short trip to Negril, which included a 2 night stay at the Caves. We were looking for a quick escape away from our two executive jobs and a pre-teen and teenager with very hectic school and sports schedules.

This place has been on my must visit list since a few years, ever since we saw it featured on the travel and living channel. Given how far it is for us (several continents away) it took us a few years to finally work our way here but the wait was more than worth it. I don’t think I have... More

We stayed 5 nights - from March 26th to 31st. The positives: - very relaxing atmosphere. We lived off the recharged batteries for quite some time after the vacation - food on average is good but not outstanding. We found the best were the lobster, fish tacos and soups. All seemingly nutritious - staff overall are very friendly, discrete and... More

We have been back 3 weeks, and I'm still not sure if I would go back. First, the views are amazing. The cliffs and stone walls are just so pretty. I kept thinking that I was on a Greek island.

We spent three days here after our wedding and we can't stop talking about it. Impeccable service, sublime sexiness, decadent privacy, overwhelming aura of plush and relaxation. Rooms were insanely cool and comfortable, food was ridiculously satisfying, scenery and environs were spectacular. We spoiled ourselves with a daily oceanside massage and never once regretted the cost. Worth the extra effort... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Caves sits along the limestone cliffs of the West End of Negril, right next to the famous Negril Lighthouse in Jamaica. Although situated only a few miles away from the bustling town center, this private enclave is a world apart. Eleven handcrafted wood and stone thatched-roof cottages, plus a 4-bedroom fully self-contained luxury villa, are interwoven between ten acres of lush vegetation and naturally formed volcanic caves. Quaint stone pathways wind through the limestone cliffs dotted with palm, sea grape and dogwood trees overlooking the Caribbean Sea. An arrangement of coral stairs and walkways lead to sundecks with uninterrupted views of the sea and sky, and grottos with turquoise water pools and fossilized marine life. A tropical reef system comes right up to the edge of the cliff, perfect for snorkeling. Guests can climb down ladders into the sea or take a leap from several “jump points,” the highest of which is 30 feet! An intimate, private and unique resort, The Caves is perfect for romance and relaxation.The Caves generally does not accept children under 16 years old. Exceptions must be cleared with the hotel management. ... more   less
