Resteraunt review The Spa Resort

When we went to Canoe (which we love) we didn't see Georgia
We called her and said she was now working at The Spa Resort and we must stop by to check it out!
We went last night for sunset dinner and got the tour of the place.Looks very Rockhouseish.Very well put together
with all rooms having a view of the sea.The kitchen had equipment to die for and super clean.We were the only ones there
for the entire evening.Wifey had the caloloo stuffed chicken and I had the coconut snapper,excelent!Very fresh ingredients
which I was worried about with us being the only patrons.This place is very romantic and I would highly recommend it for a special night out.
I like Rockhouse but lately it has been crowded and somewhat not able to handle the crowds.Like Rockhouse and Kuyaba
the entrees are reasonably priced but the drinks add up fast.Please give them a try:)

I was really tempted to check this place out when I was there in nov. It didnt seem like the kind of place for a solo dude to hang at though.lol

Yeah PGW
I would not think that it is good for a single dude but women would like it here
but more thinking a special night with the lady without the crowds:D

high season.. one customer= not good

Ouch
This is a new restaurant open since sept.
Honestly I didn't think it was open for non occupants but it is.
I can vouch for the ingredients because thats what I do
Greek salad came in a oversize martini glass
Bruchetta was excellent

farmer , nice to see you and lilfarmer on the site again: now this Spa Resort... did it used to be Home Sweet Home?

The Spa Retreat is on the land where Heartbeat was. Home Sweet Home is still around. I believe the restaraunt is named Blue Mahoe. Sounds like the food quality matches the accomodations.

Thanx for the review. It's now on our list of must-go-to's.

If you really want to recommend it, please tell us exactly where it is. I have no idea where Heartbeat was.

Please don't take this as a personal attack; for many reviews posted here, I have not the slightest idea where I would go to find the place. A Google search for spa resort negril doesn't turn up anything that seems to be what you're talking about. If you want to help them get new customers, that information is essential.

Depending on how familiar you are with the West End.....it is located just past On the Rocks seaside. Just before Tayon's and Jenny's. Past MiYard and around the bend. If you use taxis they will know where it is. Its not yet on the great Negril map that Jamaicans.com did but you can see where Heartbeat was and thats the location. Hope that helps.

OK, judging from Poolguy's picture, it's The Spa Retreat you're talking about, and they have a Web site that at least tells you it's on the cliffs - but still not enough information to actually find the place! Kind of frustrating.

If I was running a business I'd always have something on the order of "2.5 km from the roundabout". I can understand why a business doesn't want to say "next to..." and reference better-known businesses, but giving a PO box number isn't really enough...

Anyone stay here? It looks really nice, but the rates just seem out of line compared to the other nice cliff places. Saw an ad on another travel site for a special of $300 a night. What am I missing here? There site really is not that clear and I'm sitting here wondering if the rate is all inclusive? If it is, then I might just check this place out.

They specialize in weddings, and people pay a ton for weddings in fancy places?

Definately high end digs - focus is on their spa services. I am sure they would let you tour next time you are in town and you can see first hand ....it seems comparable to Rockhouse (although in my opinion not as good a sea view since it is on the "low" cliffs).

I also noticed this hotel while driving down from Xtabi one day. I was like, "Wow, that looks nice". It came up when I was doing a search for west end hotels and after I saw the prices I realized that seeing it from the outside was the closest I will prbably ever get to it! LOL.

On my recent trip, I was walking back to Blue Cave Castle and stopped in on a whim, asking for a tour. Got the royal treatment.
It appears to earn it's high room rate.

Thanks, will add this to the romantic dinner possibilities :)
