Frommer's "Enjoying a choice but narrow spot in the middle of Seven Mile Beach, this is an intimate, personal inn." Full review
Fodor's "This boutique hotel has a casual chic beach ambiance." Full review
Rough Guide "Sophisticated small hotel with beautifully designed rooms, all with a/c, TV and wi-fi."
DK Eyewitness "Classy and upscale place right on the beach and offering gorgeous rooms with private verandas, refrigerators, and all mod cons; the suites have a kitchen."
Star Service "Negril is not known for its intimate lodgings, but Idle Awhile Resort has created quite the reputation for itself, providing 14 whimsical accommodations with quintessential beach-house flair." Full review

Frommer's "FDR is an all-inclusive that's the number-one choice if you're traveling with children." Full review
Fodor's "A favorite for families with very young children, this relaxed resort goes a step beyond the usual supervised kids' programs."
Travel + Leisure "This decidedly un-fancy resort enjoys great popularity with families because its daily rate includes a "vacation nanny" who tidies the room and entertains the kids all day long." Full review

"The mid-range Franklyn D is geared towards families on vacation." Full review
Lonely Planet "At this Spanish hacienda-style, all-inclusive family resort, there are kid-friendly facilities and a personal nanny assigned to each child." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A resort where your own personal nanny is included from 8:30 a.m. until 4:40 p.m. daily...children staying at the Franklyn D. Resort & Spa are unlikely to get bored: There's a 100-foot-long waterslide"
