Personally, I like staying right on the water when I'm in JA. The only place we've stayed on the West End is The Caves, which is great, but ridiculously expensive. Rockhouse is a great property, but a little too fancy for our tastes. Xtabi might be nice, I've never stayed there but have been for drinks. Same with Catcha, we've had dinner there and it's a great property with really good food. Everyone I've seen comment on it loves staying there. Depends on budget I guess. Seastar is popular as a good value with fun vibe there, but it's not on the water.
