Well, there is not much to add to all the glowing reviews, but believe me when I say that they are all too true! The pictures on this site are beautiful, but when I saw it in real life - they don't do it justice at all. You have to see this place to believe it. Our room was wonderful, no A/C all week in 85 degree weather was actually ok! You get a nice fan and ceiling fan and it really cools down at night! OUr view was like something out of a movie. We stayed in Bird's Nest, which is a 2nd floor unit. Loved it! When trying to figure out the best thing about this place, it is so hard to choose - staff (so friendly, accommodating, real, etc...), food (one word - amazing - think 2 HUGE lobsters, 8 oz filet, soup, salad, appetizer, dessert, constantly pouring wine - all in one meal and under the stars on the roof top deck!), the views (there is not one bad spot on this whole resort!), water (amazingly blue, warm and calm), or the cave/cliff jumping ( I did ALL the jumps - try it, it is a thrill!)....We are already planning to go back for our one year anniversary and I cannot wait. Jamaica is so full of color, culture, music, and beauty.....perfect honeymoon location. We spent an evening in Stardust with another couple we met at the Caves (hi Lorin and Dawn!) - and if you can request, this place is awesome - you have so much privacy and a cliff top deck! Try out ALL the food combos - go ahead, gain some weight while you are there!, try the cigar bar at night - even if it is just you and the bartender, it is still an amzing place, definitely do the cave dinner - it was so romantic. Other than that, read, swim, sleep, lay in the hammock and do NOTHING - it will be over too soon!

Can't wait to go back!!!

When you see only great reviews, you tend to worry if its true. In addition, the price is so high at the Caves that you tend to worry if its worth it.

We can genuinely say that although it was steep, we have no regrets at all. The pictures posted by others here do no justice to its actual beauty and the service and total atmosphere is hard to fathom until you actually experience.

As soon as you arrive (and you can get there before the 4pm check in time to get your money's worth for the first day) they prepare you a welcome cocktail and bring you a cool facial towel. The treatment stays that way the whole time.

There is no bad place to sit at the Caves. Whether near the pool overlooking the Sea or on a private ledge, the chairs are nice, the drinks are limitless, and the umbrella shades you from the sun.
Be sure you snorkel as much as you can. The fish are plentiful and not afraid of people. We saw spotted rays, and on the last day, a giant ray. Its amazing, and you can snorkel as much as you want. Its all included.

The food also exceeded our expectations, and we would consider ourselves to be food snobs to a degree. Everything was perfect with spices and tastes you cant get back home. The seafood was perfect, and ask for the combination of everything. We had tuna and lamb one night, and lobster tails and steak another.

The rooms are also incredible. We stayed in Macka Tree. It is an upstairs room with a huge window overlooking the Sea. Beautiful. The only negative is that this room is not air conditioned. There are overhead fans and a room fan, but its hot. I wouldnt go in the summer and had a little trouble sleeping. My wife had no problem. The room decorations and location were unreal though.

If we are lucky enough to be able to afford a special trip again in our lives, I would have a hard time imagining we wouldnt go back.

PS. The only other negative is the staff is not that responsive when you email. They will get to you eventually, but its not always fast. Better to pick up the phone. Also, they will not allow you to book cave dining in advance. You could get shut out. This doesnt seem fair either because you could reserve a room a year in advance and get nudged out by someone who happened to check in a day earlier. We got lucky and got to do it, but it doesnt seem like a fair policy. Either way though, the dining is romantic and great.

This place is amazing and all the reviews are true. The staff will go out of their way to make sure you're happy and indulge your every whim. The food was consistently delicious and unique. The setting is beautiful and the sunsets are picture perfect. There is a special little hut with a hot tub that directly overlooks the sunset. The staff will draw your bath to coincide with the sunset, and you can enjoy the view while sipping champagne, one of the most romantic experiences my husband and I ever experienced. Our honeymoon was pure magic largely due to this stellar resort. We are going back for our first anniversary!

We just got back from five FABULOUS days at The Caves in Negril. This is our second trip to Jamaica and we already have planned to come back to The Caves next year. Upon arrival the staff immediately makes you feel at home and throughout our stay we were pampered like royalty.

We stayed in the “Sea Turtle” which is at the end of the resort property going toward “The Sands” bar. What an incredible room! We actually could look out our front window and see the ocean while lying in bed! Life does not get any better than that. The beautiful sound of the ocean pounding against the cliffs became the backdrop of our vacation. That wonderful sound lulling you to sleep every night is something we truly miss.

Words cannot describe the beauty of the resort. The breath-taking views of the Caribbean from virtually every square foot of the resort are without compare. The “very cool” caves rum and cigar bar and of course the “sunset” room cannot be missed. We loved being able to eat outside for every meal, especially the moonlit dinners on the roof top. The food and wine was always five stars and we enjoyed all the “special” rum drinks. Take advantage of the snorkeling and kayaking with Paul or make arrangements to visit the Mayfield Falls. If you venture out for some local food – Ossies and The Best In the West are highly recommended for jerk chicken and pork.

If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of a big beach resort with five pools and seven restaurants – this is definitely not the place for you. The Caves is extremely private and intimate. However, if you want to TOTALLY relax; sun, swim, read and enjoy the other guests then you are in for a rare treat.

Give your soul a gift and put down your mouse and pick up the phone. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
