The staff were nice & helpful but the place is Not what I expected. The rooms were extremely small and you can hear everything going on outside. Bathrooms were really dirty and smelled so bad . The water ran out so no shower , washing your hands or brushing your teeth until the water comes back the next day. Kitchen equipments were greasy. They definitely need a light that goes on when you walk at night or you will slip and fall like what happened to me. I didn’t make a big deal out of it .

This is my go to spot in Negril. I llike that it's away from everywhere yet close enough to everything even if your up for a long walk to get some exercise in before the beach. Depending which room you stay in you may be privy to sound of others. The is always accomodating, and address any concerns very quickly, usually going above and beyond. I hope continue to maintain the property as it's so popular and goes through it's fair share of wear and tear. I want to always have it's availability.

Good one week stay, it was good to get some exercise up and down the mountain road we did have some hot weather also some rain so that impacted plans some. The last two days were without water which made it a little tough. Overall a good inexpensive place to stay not too far from the beach
