For our second trip to Negril, we are going to say up on the cliffs for a couple of nights. We've decided on one of the Seaside Cottages at Xtabi, but haven't made reservations yet. Does anyone that's stayed there like one of the cottages better than another, or are they all pretty comparable?
#1 or #4!!!!!
Those r the two-story ones? What is so nice about them?
Bigger, more privacy. I'd stay in any of them but #1 and #4 are definitely the favourites.
We stayed in the one on the other side of the restaurant, can't remember the number without looking, but it was much cheaper,and we absolutely loved it. seems very private, great view of the jumping cliff, and the little beach below the room is great entry and exit for snorkeling, or just sitting and enjoying the water.
I think No. 4 is the most photographed hotel room in Negril .....
We just spent 6 nights in #4 and it was awesome! I would definitely stay there again. The main floor has an outdoor shower, living area, kitchenette, fridge and a large balcony cliff side. The loft has a king size bed and a second bathroom. And I did take a few pictures, lol.
wpyogi - I've booked #4 for a few days mid-April 2013. I'm wondering if you have any tips regarding the cottage? I'm wondering how warm it gets inside in April, did you find it had good cross ventilation? What about the upstairs bedroom, is there any opening windows, was it quite hot? I saw your comment about the LOUD fan in the bedroom!Originally Posted by wpyogi
Thanks!
Hey Melody- Yay! You will have a great time in #4. I never thought it was too hot inside the cottage. #4 has great ventilation. A few mornings, I would sit out on the deck and read...........and cook, lol! All I had to do to cool off was grab a glass of water and hang out in the living area for a few minutes. Yes, the fan upstairs can be LOUD when it is on high. It is a high powered fan to say the least. The particular night in question when I noticed how loud the fan was involved a lot of partying which left me incapable of getting out of bed in the middle of the night to turn it down, LOL. It didn't wake me up any of the other 5 nights we stayed there.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The staff takes excellent care of you. A few shout outs to Sharon, Omar P., Omar S., Dwight and Kevin. Thanks for the reminder, btw. I need to book April 2013 as well
Thanks wpyogi & Aud-A-Sea! I'm relieved that we won't be sweltering inside. I'm going with a friend and Natasha informed me that they can bring in a single bed - is there plenty of room for one in the living area? The two bathrooms will be great - us two ladies won't have to share! Were there enough towels, did you bring your own beach towels for outside?
Did you find everything you needed in the kitchenette? I don't plan to cook, but definitely looking forward to having a coffee pot, fridge, and perhaps the ability to heat up some leftovers?
I'm getting excited already! Only been to Negril once, in February, and stayed on the beach but visited Xtabi for a few hours. We're planning to stay on the beach for a few days in April as well...as of right now, we've booked Xtabi for the first 3 nights of our week in Negril, not sure if it would be better to switch to doing the beach first? I suppose either way would be good! RyanP, which way are you booking, beach or cliffs first?
