My fiance and I just got back from a destination wedding in Negril and almost all the guests of our friends' wedding stayed at Idle Awhile.

For many years, my husband and I have been raving about Jamaica, Negril & Idle Awhile. Apparently, we're a great "sell". Last June 2008, my family of 11 adults and 2 children packed up on the very first family vacation since childhood. Adult ages ranged from 22 - 74 with two children ages 5 & 6. I became the appointed... more

As this was our first non AI try, it was everything we expected (I did a ton of research). Only 13 rooms and a small restaurant/bar in the front so it was usually pretty quiet.

We absolutely loved Idle Awhile. The rooms were clean, spacious, and we had a little outdoor patio that was awesome. The staff was super friendly, location was fantastic. We will be back!!! more

Amazing little hotel, with the biggest suites & balconies (w hammocks) right on the beach. The suites were huge and open and airy w kitchettes and huge balconies that were more like outdoor living rooms. Bedrooms have AC, and the bathrooms double as walkin closets. Great space! Great little sandy restuarant too. Very casual and very friendly. We fell in... more
