The Caves

My mom and I went to the Caves for my birthday. The staff was so incredible and the VIEWS!! Stacy was a gem, Randy was the BEST bartender, Fabian was the sea master, Miss Cheryl was the sweetest server, and Ronaldo was the best waiter. They knew me by name and were so pleasant. The food was also incredible, especially the soup!!! I had the best time and was so sad to leave. You must do a stay here at least once in your life!

My girlfriend and I just got back from a phenomenal, 7-night vacation at The Caves-Negril, and we couldn't have had a better experience!!! We do not have a lot of all-inclusive resort experience, however knew that we were looking for a boutique-y, inclusive space. The Caves exceeded any expectations that we had out of the water. The staff quickly became family and we are so grateful for each of them.... They are so warm, welcoming, and prideful. There is something to be said about the way people make you feel… and so many of the people made us feel as though we were invited into their own home. Stacy, Cheryl, Randy, Zoom, Floyd, Peronaldo, Fabian, Earle, Vanessa, Omar and Glen among others made our experience much more magical. Stacy went above and beyond for us. We additionally loved Rosa, the yoga teacher, who provided us with an entertaining yoga instruction. We stayed in the garden view room and loved it. Spacious yet cozy and the nightly turndown service was a big highlight. The outdoor shower added to the authenticity and rustic charm which we loved. Unlike a larger resort, every room is steps away from the water and anything you would need on property. The convenience was unmatched- always a stone’s throw from food, drink, restroom, ocean, or personal belongings. The food did not feel mundane or repetitive as it may at a typical inclusive report. The a-la-carte ordering and options allow us to try new foods and get what we want without feeling wasteful. The breakfast was genuinely top tier, while all the meals felt plated to perfection with a stellar balance of protein, starches/carbs, and vegetables. In addition to the actual food, the dining experiences was wonderful as they provided an elevated experience with fine-dining-like cutlery, bread service, drink, service, etc.. In addition, we greatly enjoyed having a slice of privacy and tranquility all while being a short taxi ride away from the Negril activities. We easily transported ourselves to a live reggae show, to bars, and local restaurants down the road. The staff was eager to provide recommendations for specific activities that we wanted. We absolutely loved the Negril activities, however, loved even more to be able to come ‘home’ to such a quiet and serene space that let us tap into our true relaxation. On property, the wonderful lifeguards will help you learn how to cliff jump off the various heights, as well as assist you in snorkeling tours around the area. It truly says something that a lot of the catamaran and boat tours specifically come to the caves daily to allow their passengers to swim where we were able to call ‘home’ for seven days. We both came home, feeling enlightened, welcomed, and relaxed. There is no denying that we will be back to the farthest Western point of Jamaica to indulge once again in the slice of happiness that is The Caves.

The trip was one of the best stay my wife and I have ever had. We have traveled from Greece to Dubai. The food is all inclusive but it is top tier. I was shocked how gourmet the food preparation was. This is not mass produced food awaiting guests, but carefully curated food. The views are incredible. There are views on top of views on top of views. The resort staff was impeccable. Glen is epitome of professional and the waitress Trouble is GOOD trouble lol. She is a welcoming soul. The resort is very private so only I think 14 units. We had the two bedroom which was exceptional. The upstairs balcony overlooking the ocean. We can’t rave about how the pics and food raving undersell this property. Make sure to do the cave dinner! Wow! A life changing experience. You will NEVER forget the experience and the five course meal is beyond the price asked.

I have been eying up The Caves Hotel for the last couple years and me and my husband just had the pleasure of getting to experience its magic. Built into a cliff side the beauty and charm of the place is unmatched. The staff were all so helpful and kind and the food always had some Jamaican flare which we appreciated. We were a short walk from Kool Vibes (which we ate at twice!) their jerk chicken and conch curry was delicious! We also checked out Rick’s Cafe and a few other local spots. It’s hard to say anything negative about The Caves as I would 100% come back. No tv in the room which caught me off guard but honestly I didn’t mind. If anything it just helped me be more present in the moment. The finishings are not what we are use to with a luxury boutique hotel but everything worked, the room was cool and clean and the bed and pillows were comfy! Thank you for taking such good care of us!

We visited The Caves in May 2026, as a couple looking for a relaxing vacation. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend! It is definitely geared towards couples, we had a great time chatting over drinks and activities with the other couples. We're in our early 30s, and were the "young crowd", however I loved that. It is a quiet resort, 1-2 activities a day. We loved the rum tasting with Omar, painting with Tunisia, yoga, and fitness class with Jovi! We had a great time snorkeling with Fabian as well, and just swimming around. If you want a change of pace, taxi to Skylark on 7 mile beach, we had them drop us off at Ricks Cafe after and it is a short walk back to The Caves. Food was great, they especially excel at soups and sauces over the different protein dinners. The drive from Montego Bay is ~2 hours depending on traffic. I do think you need decent physical abilities here to enjoy the full experience, there are lots of stairs and the only way in and out of the ocean is the ladders. (The middle ladder is probably the easiest) It is worth it though, and the food, drinks, and views are great either way. There are plenty of inflatables, life jackets, etc available from the lifeguard. My favorite swim was into Blue Hole when the morning light hits, so cool! We stayed in the Blue Hole room, very quiet. You can only hear the waves without the fans/AC on, and you can hear some activity in the mornings near breakfast time. Not fancy rooms, but very clean and taken care of. We spent all of our time outside of the room anyways. The private cave dinner is SO unique and romantic, candles everywhere. The staff is on top of it, we loved Randy and Stacy. The only thing I miss from a larger resort would be drink service while at the loungers, there just isn't enough staff to do this all day. (However, you do burn off some calories and drink only when you really want one, so that may be a positive!)
