We stayed in the down stairs garden view one bedroom suite, and loved it. We travel to Negril at least once a year. This room is the first room I have ever stayed in that I hoped it would rain so I could sleep in the hamock on the patio. It did rain but my husband beat me to the... More

Really just do not know where to begin. Awesome is the first thing that comes to mind. What a wonderful place to vacation and relax. Etta, Norman and Sandria are just great! We are already planning our next rip back to Hide Awhile. Thumbs up to this resort :) More

I stayed at Idle awhile in January 2012. It's a great boutique hotel on the 7 mile beach in negril. I loved the room, I had a garden view. The rooms are beautiful and the bed was extremely comfortable. I loved waking up and eating breakfast on the patio facing the beach. The staff was friendly and the rooms were... More

The staff is extremely nice and the suite lovely. We enjoyed it very much. However we came home exhausted because of all the noise. Located between the office and kitchen and next to the main walkway feels and sounds like you are exposed to every noise. Including the club noises until about 2:30 AM, a pump or something going off... More

Where to start with Idle Awhile. We've just had 9 wonderful days and nights here and it was faultless. Our room, 204, was perfect, with the only noise being the glorious sound of tree frogs singing their little heads off. The balcony was wonderful, the room cool and bright and the bathroom large and well laid out. The ladies that... More

We love heading to Negril to decompress from life in NYC. This was my 4th week-long trip there. The past three times we stayed at The Rockhouse on the cliffs. This time we did one night at Idle Awhile on the beach, then four at Tensing Pen and two at Catcha Falling Star. We were in the upper deluxe "ocean... More

My wife and I stayed 6 days at Idle Awhile in a Garden View Room (201). This second floor room in an eight room building faces the street but is far enough away from the street that you don't see the street. What you do see from your balcony is lush tropical vegitation. This was our first Caribbean vacation that... More

A nice place but a few annoyances really lessened the pleasure... 1. Expensive..I was charged $2.50 USD for an order of toast! Ridiculous. 2. Noise...Thursday and Friday night the nightclub down the street was pumping outrageously loud music until after 2:00 AM.. Be warned, unless you have earplugs there is no way to escape the sound. It will keep you... More

This was our first time to Jamaica, and we decided to split our stay between the beach and cliffs for our stay. We chose Idle Awhile based on the great reviews from many on the Negril forum and weren't disappointed. We stayed in the junior suite in March 2012. The suite was huge and included our king sized bed and... More
