Idle Awhile Resort

Great staff, wonderful beachfront, excellent experience for a family of four with elementary age kids. Rooms have shutters not glass, bring a small white noise machine and you’re good to go! Would go back in a heartbeat!

going to Negril was definitely a treat! compared to the larger resorts, Idle Awhile has a small entry way which scared my sister. once on property, it is a gem. It is more like a boutique hotel in every sense and is very intimate with a limited number of rooms. they do allow kids so quite a few people had small toddlers. the walls and ventilation leave it so that you can hear nature and children. the restaurant had great food which was reasonably priced-- unlike an experience we had in MoBay. the rooms and bathroom were cleaned to the T! there was also a nice patio to enjoy drinks, food, music, etc. right off our room. Also, I wouldn't recommend getting a rental car; taxis are fine and relatively cheap. you can shuttle in from MoBay or call the hotel to make arrangements.

I was very disappointed.Not my first trip there.I booked 2 beachfront and took family. Dinner was horrible. Shrimp and rice cold and shrimp cooked. Quesadilla greasy and dripping sauce.I did not finish my meal either nights. Both nights I was disappointed at dinner. AC unit leaking in room 103 upon arriving.Towel on the floor behind refrigerator for the entire stay. I was asked the day before departure if I needed it fixed. That should have not been a question.It’s obvious that the rooms are not been checked prior to guest arriving.It had always been the place I like to stay when visiting negril and I hope I can get pass this last visit
