Honeymoon on the Cliffs - Suggestions

[SandT CHI]

I am Bias, we honeymooned at Catcha Falling Star. The least expensive rooms are 95 a night. I can't say the exact number of rooms on the property but maybe a couple hand fulls? The privacy at Catcha is a notch above the rest with little "love nest" spots located throughout the property. The restaurant is delicious and the lighting is very romantic at night. They played a lot of love songs at the bar when we were there, which i thought added to the experience. For the honeymoon it was nice to have to not leave the property for anything if we didn't want to. Spend the extra couple dollars at catcha, you won't regret it.

Catcha gardens has become our go to for a nice budget spot. If you are ok with not staying right on the water it might be great for you as well.

We have also stayed at Blue cave castle however like i said for the honeymoon it was nice to relax around the hotel with a restaurant, pool and bar onsite. The shade at BCC was a problem for me also, unfortunately the sun doesn't love me as much as I love it.

Xtabi is our destination every year. Can't beat the tranquility and settings. Always get get garden side with pool. We will be there again in Nov
You won't be disappointed
We have stayed at both Samsara and Blue Cave but Xtabi is by far our first choice.

The Mirage $80/night (tax in) special is phenomenal. Large NICE rooms, great AC, bed, fridge, in-room wifi, seaview balcony, staff... continental breakfast included. Great new seaview pool. ALL rooms are seaview and I believe there's only 12, it's like staying in a villa with amenities within 5 minute walk, Catcha, store, Tensing Pen next door, other restaurants. You're welcomed at Charela's beach including beach towels and great service. Can't recommend it enough for a quiet, private honeymoon with close access to everything else, and that price is perfect for them. You'll find others maybe for that price, but no where near the accommodations and view...from their room!

I would think that privacy would be a concern on a honeymoon and maybe somewhere like the Westender could provide the seclusion and romantic setting that a newlywed couple would enjoy.

That's a good suggestion. We stayed there for the first time this past April, and they would definitely excel in that regard.

Congratulations! Your time in Negril will be great no matter where you stay. Certainly, each spot offers something different.

I love Catcha for the delicious food; Xtabi for the traditional Jamaican breakfast and cottages on the cliffs (a couple are newly renovated); Samsara for the "hot but cute, " "tiny but fun" huts that overlook the water (I stayed in the yellow one by myself for one month a few years ago); the Mirage for the good rates (and pool but who wants that when you have the sea!).

Yes, I agree that Westender and Blue Moon are very romantic, but they are a bit more pricey and very much off the beating path. My brother and his wife rented the top floor of Blue Cave Castle and loved it for entertaining; but, I doubt that you will be doing much outside entertaining. If you want to enjoy the cliffs and pop in on the beach side every now and then, perhaps you may go for Mirage or Samsara which both have beach options. Wherever you decide to stay, be sure to negotiate your rate.
