FIRST: View of the sea from our room/balcony/patio 2. Access to the sea 4. Safe and clean 5. A little romance! (25 wedding anniv) 6. Central to restaurants/supplies, etc.

For Cliffs: Moonlight Villas ~ Sunset on the Cliffs ~ Blue Cave Castle(lower tower) ~ Negril Escape (back to Africa avail and Atlantis)

For Beach: Kuyaba ~ Country Country ~ Gatehouse Villas ~ Rooms ~ Tree House ~ Sea Wind....maybe even Nirvana or Firefly....

So many choices!!!

Blue Cave Castle hands down... and the lower tower is perfect! For pics- check our Cherry's Trip report- she describes it perfectly!

Access to sea- check
view of sea- check
safe and clean- check
romance... thats up to you! (but check) We had our honeymoon here
central to rest/stores- check

Tip- do the beach stay first (while you have energy) then move to cliffs (for optimal relaxation)...

Have fun!

You have to check out CoCo La Palm. Its a great beach area. Hot tub, pools, and every Friday night,
they serve dinner on the beach, with a live band. Its great !!! Two for one happy hour every night as well.

Great advise Murph............ do the beach party thing first then go to the cliffs .......... RELAX on the Cliffs

Agree with jojo p ............. hard to beat CoCo for your first stay on the beach

For many years it was Coco La Palm for 7 to 10 days then Rockhouse to unwind and rest up for a few days.

Enjoy ! ! !

Nirvana has the best beach and location of the hotels mentioned, I would also check out Charela or Coco La Palm. We stayed at Moonlight Villa for one night last year before heading to the beach. We liked how charming it was and soooo close to the water. You have to be a dog lover because the owner has many dogs. The bedding was also a little scratchy, would stay again but bring my own sheets. LOL If you stay at BCC or Moonlight, be sure to eat Tony's jerk across the street. A little grill set up next to No Limit bar.

For your 25th anniversary, I would exclude Sunset on the cliffs and Negril Escape from the list. They are budget places - and are fine for what they are - but you'll probably want some nicer amenities for this special occasion. I would take a look at Home Sweet Home, which was recently renovated and in your price range. HSH is in the same neighborhood as BCC and Moonlight Villa. They have a great restaurant & bar, a nice pool/hot tub and excellent cliff access.

I totally aggree with Murph on the Blue Cave Castle. As far as the beach.........Kuyaba can be quite loud late into the night due to Burbon Beach next door.

Mike D...HSH is $249 per nite!! Way over the other places I am considering. The beach is usually our relax time and the last thing I think I want to experience. That's why its last. We have always went high end at Couples before....we love the sand tween our toes!! I am thinking BCC or Moonlight Villa.

Is the beach really that much of a party and the cliffs that much of a rest????

Have you checked out Catcha Falling Star?

Muck....I would love to stay at Catcha....no room in the inn with a sea view. Only the Gatehouse and the one room without a patio :-(
