A Slice of Paradise – Every Time! We’ve stayed at Idle Awhile on the Beach three times now, and it just keeps getting better. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the warmest, friendliest staff—every single person goes out of their way to make you feel at home. The hospitality here is truly next level. The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh flavors that perfectly match the relaxed, island vibe. And the drinks? Just what you’d expect when you’re unwinding steps away from the ocean—refreshing, simple, and satisfying. There’s something magical about this place. Other vacations don’t even compare now that we’ve found Idle Awhile. Honestly, the only thing better than a week here would be two weeks! We’re already counting down the days until our next visit. Can’t wait to come back to our happy place!

If you want to treat yourself to an incredible Jamaican vacation with access to a pristine beach, wonderfully kept rooms, the coziest bed to crawl into at the end of the day and an amazing team of people - from the housekeepers, front desk staff, grounds people, bar and restaurant staff, and lifeguards - then Idle Awhile is the place for you. Luxurious yet affordable with beautifully kept grounds that made the perfect backdrop for family pictures. This small boutique hotel is gorgeous and outfitted with cherry wood interiors, beautiful porches, hammocks, and soft white sand. Thank you to the Beautiful Claudia, Leona, and Hopeton for wonderful service in the restaurant and many laughs. Thank you to Isley for always stopping to check in on my little boy and being so kind. And Annetha was the most amazing to work with leading up to our trip to directly book excursions and transportation. She left no detail to chance and was always available for questions. Thank you to the Idle Awhile team for making my birthday trip with friends and family effortless and memorable. This is my second stay with you and we will be back. Soon!

From the moment we arrived, the energy at the front desk set the tone :- warm, welcoming, and attentive. The customer service throughout our stay was truly top-notch, with every staff member from the General Manager to the bartenders going above and beyond. A special highlight was a surprise beachfront dinner they arranged for our 5-year anniversary. It was beautifully candlelit and incredibly thoughtful—one of the most memorable evenings we've ever had. Idle Awhile has set the bar so high, it’ll be hard to stay anywhere else after this. Highly, highly recommend! *Quick tip: Pack some mosquito spray and earplugs, being close to the road makes it a bit lively at times, but nothing that took away from our incredible stay.

My Hubby and I celebrated our 25 year wedding anniversary at Idle Awhile. While we call ourselves Jamericans as we've visited the island at least time 2 times a year for the last 25 years and seem to love Negril and The 7 mile beach which is where Idle Awhile is nestled. We got married in Montego Bay 25 years ago and been coming back often as we can since. This place is relaxing and the food is Ital, fresh and organic and masterfully and simply prepared with a Jamaican influence that is authentic The staff is wonderful. Standouts are Monique (MoMo) at the Beach Bar and Resturant. Her energy is pure love and acommadating. She remembered our actual anniversary day and gifted us some of the sweetest mangoes I have ever tasted and even brought us beef patties one day. So thoughtful. . Anthony the Amazing life guard, water sports and Hobie Captain. He was outstanding and navigated the sea with care, compassion and safety always at the forefront. We sailed to BooBee Cay just off the coast of the resort. Such a memorable experience. The accommodations were simply perfect. Boutique Island chic. Our Veranda was oceanview and we lived out there letting the sounds of Jamaica rock us to sleep. Go Idle Awile NOW!!! You want regret it. Leslie St. Louis

The property was comfortable with great staff, proximity to the beach was also a plus. While we enjoyed the home-like feel of the villas it seems that general maintenence of the property has been lacking. The AC was leaking and looked as though it had been for some time as the paint was bubbling and discoloured. Bathroom tiles were damaged and faucets were leaking.

My husband and I with our two boys 11 & 15 stayed for 5 nights in November. The resort is perfect. The rooms were large enough for everyone to be very comfortable. The beach is a little slice of heaven. It’s in a wonderful location to walk the beach and explore other resorts and restaurants. The food was great. We ate breakfast there every day and dinners multiple nights. They have paddle boards for use for free. Plenty of chairs for everyone staying onsite. The highlight of the trip was the staff. Everyone working there was so friendly and accommodating. Special shout out to Claudia and Nicholas that made sure we had everything we needed and assisted in setting up trips to the cliff’s and snorkeling. We cannot wait to return. If you’re looking for a smaller resort with high end customer service this is your place!
