We stayed at Banana Shout last April and we absolutely loved it. There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of the waves against the cliffs in the morning, smelling the flowers and feeling the warm ocean breeze. I was in heaven. Marianne was so friendly and offered to cook us a meal that night. The groundskeeper will bring you anything you need. He got us cold red stripes for the corner store to stock our fridge. There is a communal kitchen with coffee available for all. It's a very intimate resort with a funky rustic hippie vibe. I loved the vibrant colors and the décor. We felt like we had the place to ourselves and the snorkeling in that cove is great too.
You don't have to worry about noise. You can hear some of the music drifting over from Ricks during sunset but at night it was very quiet and peaceful at Dolphin view cottage.
The only downside was that the water pressure in the shower was a little low at the time. This isn't the norm though so you shouldn't have a problem. I'm kind of glad because it gave us the opportunity to use the cave shower...which was actually a lot of fun and very romantic with the setting sun.
I definitely recommend it. It's an experience not to be missed. You can read a little bit about our stay in our Trip Report here. http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...-Report/page55
