Brasi - I've never seen Hilltop so I can't help there. Sorry.
Rastagal - you'll love Catcha Gardens. By "guest friendly" both "gardens" and "star" are committed to the privacy of their guests that are staying there so they do not allow folks to just come in and hang out there randomly by the pools or the sea - "star" opens to the public at 5:00pm for sunset and dinner and closes at 9:00pm. If you personally have a guest you'd like to invite to your room or to hang out by the pool I don't see a problem walking them in and letting management know they are there.
Personally if I were to stay at a hotel now in Negril I'd pick one with policies similar to Catcha Falling Star/Catcha Falling Gardens. That was not the case 20 years ago for me but it would be a priority now.

Not done yet looking for the place I have to stay again, Seastar excluded but since I am a last minute booker they are always full, Trying Seasplash next, will see how it stacks up. The Caves are out of most of our price, plus who want to stay with all those stuffy people like the ones that stay at Beaches.
Trip #59 most of February
We were booked a few years ago at Grand Pineapple and we got moved to Beaches Sandy Bay, it was actually very cool. The staff there are all super friendly, and really made our stay. It's where I proposed to my wife! The Sesame Street parades are a bit off-putting at first, but once I was good and "relaxed" I found it be hilarious.
March 2006 - Blue Cave Castle | November 2007 - Beaches Sandy Bay | November 2008 - Blue Cave Castle/Rockhouse/Grand Lido | March 2012 - Blue Cave Castle
Hey, PGW! I've stayed at Beaches and loved it, once without my kids even. Be nice! Geez!
There were 2 ladies that had won 2 or 3 free nights at the Caves, and while they loved being spoiled with the food, etc., they were bored to death there! They then were our beachfront room neighbors at CCLP and we all had a blast! They said they would return to CCLP in a heartbeat but would never return to the Caves!
I think I would be bored there too, but then again, I'm a beach person who loves to VISIT the cliffs!
