The Caves

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!)

Just returned from a trip to Jamaica with our adult children (20s). During our trip we spent three nights at the Caves in Negril and absolutely loved it. The location is stunning and the cottages are so quaint with a real Jamaican feel. It is a boutique resort with only about 20-30 guests on site. The staff is amazing...they all go above and beyond to make the stay unforgettable. The food was delicious. It's quiet, but if you want more action, Rick's Cafe is within walking distance and seven mile beach is a short cab ride away. I highly recommend this resort.

I recently spent Easter weekend at The Caves, and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was exceptional. The staff struck the perfect balance—friendly, welcoming, and accommodating without ever being overbearing. Special shoutout to Randy and Stacy, who made us feel right at home, along with the rest of the amazing team (even those whose names I didn’t get). As someone who lives in Jamaica and has stayed at many hotels across the island, this was by far my best stay to date. The property itself is absolutely stunning. At night, the entire place is beautifully lit with wax candles, creating a magical and intimate atmosphere. The attention to detail throughout the property really stands out. We also loved the food—everything was delicious—and the self-serve drink option at the bars was a great touch that added to the relaxed, personalized experience. I would highly recommend The Caves to anyone looking for a unique, peaceful, and truly memorable stay in Negril. I’ll definitely be back!

Just a quick note to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Caves. Please pass along our praise to the owners and managers of Island Outpost, emphasizing the extraordinary care the entire staff provided and how they made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The property's natural beauty and unique setting provide a fantastic design allowing us to enjoy a wonderful sense of both privacy and community among the guests, making for a wonderful visit. Your culinary and service staff made us eager to enjoy what was certain to be the next best meal and dining experience of the week. Thanks for a wonderful visit we hope to repeat soon.

I can’t say enough great things about this resort. Absolutely beautiful property with AMAZING staff! This was our 4th trip and it did not disappoint! It has become our home away from home and feels much more like staying at a friends house than a hotel. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return!
