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

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

Concierge "Simplicity reigns at this stylish and affordable retreat on Negril's rocky west coast."
Fodor's "It's hip without being pretentious—definitely a top spot for affordable chic, and the kind of place that makes you want to check in and just laze in your room, or in a hammock, with a book." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Tensing Pen is one of those rare island hideaways that has made the successful transition from 1974 hippie hangout to rustic-chic boutique hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "Stylish and exclusive retreat in pretty clifftop gardens."
DK Eyewitness "Networked by little paths and with a hair-raising suspension bridge between the cliffs, this is a truly beautiful place to stay."
Jetsetter "Relaxed cliffside retreat in Negril's West End, with thatch-roofed cottages, a swimming pool on the rocks and panoramic sea views." Full review
Frommer's "This is a laid-back resort of thatched-roof, cut-stone cottages tucked amid a slope of tropical gardens on the low cliffs of Negril’s West End" Full review
