Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My second stay at rainbow arch was even better than my first ..nice family owned hotel. room was clean and bed really comfortable Restaurant serves wide variety of local dishes that is really scrumptious. The beach area is right in the middle of seven mile beach ..just a short walk to margaritaville, roots cafe and Woodstock. Just lay on the beach and relax

We stayed here 3 nights and had the best experience. It was very affordable too. We could walk right out of our room onto the beach which was on 7 mile beach. Perfect beach! lots of great bars and restraunts in walking distance too! The owner is Denise and she is a sweet Jamaican who takes wonderful care of this place. We were referred by a Jamican to stay here and we had a wonderful experience. So much better than a big all inclusive resort and more affordable. Way nicer beach too.

Two glorious weeks spent at rainbow arch..great food.. Room was clean with a/c and fan and bed nice and comfy , shower powerful with lots of hot water and to top it off just a few steps out your door and your right in the middle of seven mile beach..close to Woodstock ,Margaritaville,Roots bamboo and Jungle nightclub and loads more After breakfast the biggest decision is which direction to walk on the beach ..left or right? Big shout out to the lovely owners Joy and Denice.

We stayed Feb 3-8 2020. Luckily joy was able to book us w short notice for a short visit. Nice clean rooms, only steps to the sea Very nice hard working family that goes out of their way to make your stay perfect And Denise and joy made the best curried goat and mashed potatoes and salad that I have had in over 30 years I would definitely stay with them again and eat at their restaurant!

Miss Joy rudely complained to us about cancelling 1 night of a 2-night stay. We asked if the room was still available, which it was, so we were unsure of why she was being so aggressive about the cancellation. She ended up saying she didn't want any of us to stay there, which included my mother and, and my two friends who had already stayed one night there. I will never stay there again, she was unnecessarily rude and turned us away for no reason. There is also no lobby or clear way to check in if you are a walk in.

It has been a few years since I was last at Rainbow Arch, but my memories are good ones. Miss Joy and her family take great pride in their business and everyone is very friendly. The location is excellent and the food too!

We so enjoyed our afternoon on 7 mile beach at Rainbow Arch. The food was great and the beach uncluttered and relaxing! Be sure to take a snorkel tour with Captain Mike in his glass bottom boat to see some lovely reef with lots of fish, ray and lobsters!

I only ate dinner at the Rainbow. I was at the Rainbow twice and loved the lobster! Probably the best value on 7 mile beach. You do have to be patient though because the waitress and cook are one in the same (if you're staying nearby, you can drop in and order your food and come back a lil while later for seating). I also enjoy the red snapper, grilled with jerk sauce.

Enjoyed authentic goat curry, chicken curry and vegetarian meal cooked by mama Denise James at Rainbow Arch. She is very friendly and even made plaintain for me when I requested it. For simple, flavorful and decently priced meal on the Negril beach, this is the place to go...

It's hard to put into words how lovely our first trip anywhere turned out! Jamaica was perfect. Joy at Rainbow Arch was the perfect hostess. They are right in the middle of 7 mile beach so it was super convenient to walk everywhere. Our room was clean and maintained well everyday. 10 days here was like a dream, from the ocean waves, to a lovely young man cleaning our beach everyday, a nice massage lady, private security, to the best french fries anywhere! Joy and her staff were very obliging, whether we required another ice cube tray or information or food. I can't say thank you enough! Thank you Joy! If we ever leave home again...I hope its here!
