DK Eyewitness "Perhaps the most exclusive choice in Negril, and certainly the most romantic."

Only ground-floor units (six suites and two cottage units) have air-conditioning, so request accordingly; however, all rooms have ceiling and standing fans.

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
