My review of Westport cottages.
I am going to be honest and have to say that the concrete room that comes with private bathroom did have a funky smell.I do not know what it was and I never really bothered to find out.If you were staying in it for a length of time simply bring some bleach and an air freshner and any home comforts you feel you need.
The wooden cottages are just that, little wooden cottages and they have a bed and clean sheets and a fan , some have two double beds.They do not smell at all and are a perfect camping style base.Cabins are 20 us pernight, or 1000j per person per night.There is a large shared kitchen which youu sually have all to yourself a couple of stoves/cookers and 3 large fridgefreezers and lots of pots and pans to use.
A table and chairs a toaster and some other bits and bobs.Wooden huts have shared outdoor sinks showers, toilets there are a couple dotted around , never unavailable if needed.There are washing lines there and it is a great sun trap and each wooden hut has its own verandha/balcony where you can watch the sky turn from day to night and watch and feel the sun come up.It is a small gated patch of land secure with only one small front gate which someone watches 24/7
The owner Joseph is a very nice Jamaican man and will go out of his way to help you if he can.He has a lot of return guests from all over the world and is starting to expand a little.Mostly back packers or students or people who have flown a long way and want to keep costs down that stay here many repeat visitors though.In the evening everyone plays dominoes or drinks their red stripes on their verandha or washes their clothes and hangs them out.It is directly across the road from shields/travellers beach resort and is a hop and a skip away from the beach perfect location and right next door to fatties best cheap cook shop in the area!
I do not want to big it up too much as it is definitely no luxury resort I do not want you going there with great expectations other than what it is.It is camping but indoors in a wooden hut.It is clean safe and has a kitchen a roof a toilet and shower a gate and a nice owner and is seconds from the beach, good location at dirt cheap price.If you can handle camping style holidays and are on a budget or want somewhere long term then this is the place for you.I have stayed before I stayed again and then returned for a further two days and I would stay again.The owner Joseph is a kind friendly man and knows just about everyone and everything.
Nice people there I have pleasant stays there my only complaint was the smell in the concrete room but like I said I never bothered to get rid of it fully! I would either buy cleaning products and freshener next time or maybe just stay in the wooden huts.
I will return there.
Please note this is not a resort it is more of a camping style place but with everything you need as a base in Negril.No hassle safe environment but very budget style.Do not expect hotel style premises but it is a safe friendly environment with a lovely owner and has everything you need for about 20 dollars a night BEAT THAT!
