Concierge "This 12-room resort challenges the notion of the tour package/cookie-cutter all-inclusive, not only for its small size but also for its abundance of character."
Jetsetter "Seaside oasis with just 12 thatched roof cottages and one villa, all spread over 10 acres of limestone cliff." Full review

"Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape (for adults only), the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Located atop Negril’s limestone cliffs, the Caves is an all-inclusive, adults-only resort surrounded by 10 acres of tropical gardens." Full review
Rough Guide "Gorgeous, romantic small hotel set behind Fort Knox-inspired gates."
DK Eyewitness "Perhaps the most exclusive choice in Negril, and certainly the most romantic."
Star Service "The Caves, Negril's most romantic boutique-hotel, may package meals, drinks and activities into its rates, but it is the antithesis of the commercial all-inclusive operations hereabouts." Full review

Only ground-floor units (six suites and two cottage units) have air-conditioning, so request accordingly; however, all rooms have ceiling and standing fans.
Fodor's "At this boutique resort, the thatched-roof cottages are individually designed and furnished, most with balconies overlooking the deep water off Negril's West End honeycombed cliffs." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "On a limestone headland next to a historic lighthouse, this "great little place" has cliffside cottages made of handcrafted stone and wood." Full review
