"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."

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.

Star Service
"At the north end of the beach, near the Grand Lido, this hotel lies on the best beach of any Sandals in Jamaica (the sands at the Sandals in Whitehouse are a possible contender)." Full review
