I stayed at Idle Awhile from 4/9 - 4/17.It had been on my most desired places to stay in Negril, since I took a tour of the property in 2009. I am not sure if it was all the perfect ratings that the property had received on TripAdivisor that may have had my expecations too high, but I did not... More

We spent two nights at Idle Awhile before going to Half Moon Bay in Montego Bay for a destination wedding. My husband was born in Jamaica and he suggested that we spend some alone time in Negril after spending some time with family in Kingston and before the hustle of the wedding in MoBay. I'm so glad we spent time... More

We recently stayed here for March 13 for 8 nights. This was our second time at Idle Awhile. The service was excellent, rooms spotless and the drinks and food were scrumptious. We have been coming to Jamaica for 14 years + and have stayed at many of the resorts and we'll be coming back again!!

We were looking for a boutique hotel, something original, something with a bit of an island vibe as opposed to a massive resort. We wanted to get the “Jamaica” out of Jamaica all while feeling comfortable, enjoying a great spot on the beach, eating fresh food and drinking great cocktails, and having a hassle-free vacation.

My husband and I have recently stayed 8 nights in Negril... the first 3 nights at Idle A While (I will be adding reviews of the 2 other accommodations which were both on the Cliffs). This was my third time to Negril and my husband's first. I'd only stayed on the cliffs before which I loved, but we wanted to... More

This review is just for the beach area. I liked this stretch of the beach because there is a quite a large square blocked off for swimming in the water. Never understood why you give swimmers 15 feet only when the sea is so large... Anyhow, they have floating mattresses chained in the water so you can use those, relax... More

I was born and raised in Jamaica but also have traveled extensively. When going back to Jamaica I look for a hotel that has a boutique island vibe w/ great accommodations. Idle Awhile is exactly what we've been looking for. You will enjoy the laid back island decor with a perfect location on the beach. The single rooms are the... More

I stayed at Idle Awhile for 6 nights in May 2012. The place was a nice change of pace from normal hotels and resorts. Idle Awhile is small and intimate. I went with my sister for our birthday and we had a really nice time. We're not too much into live and loud night life, so the slower pace and... More

Prior reviews are accurate: Spacious rooms. Delicious breakfast (banana pancakes are BOSS!). Accommodating staff. Beach location. Walk to more food, music and fun. P.S. Eat jerk chicken and sip a rum punch with the locals at Best of the West across the street.
