Very quiet and very peaceful. Not in the heart of the town, with all the hustle and bustle. But close enough to the historical town of Black River, the capital of St. Elizabeth parish. Also a little historical fact, it was the first town to receive electricity. The property is near to famous attractions such as Black River Safari, YS falls, Jamaica Zoo, and Holland Bamboo. Love this property! ##### Shannon Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oral Robert May 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is not fancy, but it is clean and peaceful. The staff is excellent and the food is delicious! We spent most of the time relaxing on the gorgeous beach. It was so nice, we didn’t want to leave! Maxine, Dunkley, and Ruchelle were exceptional! I suggest bringing an extension cord, as there are not many outlets. A collapsible cooler would also be handy as there is not a refrigerator in the room. We will definitely be back! ##### Oral Robert Stayed 10 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Owen Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Idlers Rest is essentially what you see in any other review, it's good for what it is and the location is not terrible. Where they excel they excel wonderfully but they're shortcomings are also as dramatic. I particularly did not enjoy hearing the dogs bark and the roosters crow throughout the night. However overall it was a comfortable enough stay where is it. ##### Owen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan May 17, 2024 Liked: Staff & service #### Ok place to stay, avoid if you are an animal lover Overall we had an ok stay, the breakfast and coffee was good. Plenty of parking. We could use their fridge for our drinks. We did change rooms as our original room was a bit dark with lack of natural light. The 2nd room was brighter, even better once my husband cleaned the windows. We were very upset to see large terrapins crowed in a small pond without room to hardly move. Chickens kept in a small enclosure, birds in cages and two beautiful dogs chained up day and night both desperate for some human interaction, stimulation and love. If you are an animal lover you may find this distressing. ##### Susan Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dania Sep 22, 2023 Liked: Amenities Was a great choice for stay. ##### Dania Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andre Aug 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and quiet! ##### Andre Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel Dec 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a quite an calm environment ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Mar 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I had an excellent experience, the staff is friendly, the dinner options were fantastic, the food was yummy, I was treated like family.

If you are looking for a quiet stress free getaway for a weekend this is a great place. It’s not the Ritz or the W but if you love nature, the beach and just kicking back then this is the place.

Understaffed. Toilet issues, television does not work, Wi-Fi is pointless, mosquitoes everwhere. Place just not properly maintained. No staff to attend to you at night. ##### Hughton Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I love that the hotel is right on the Beach. Every day I would walk almost the full length of the beach. Very relaxing. The breakfast area overlooks the beach. Amazing view. There are a few seafood resturants along the beach. You could actually walk to them or take a taxi. We went by taxi to eat but I passed them every morning while walking. Juliet the manager is very accommodating and receptive to suggestions. We ended up in a large room/ suite with a sitting area and a large bathroom at no extra cost. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Sister and Daughter (their call names) are the housekeepers/ cooks and very helpful. Sister cooked some sumptuous Jamaican breakfast upon request for an additional cost. The hotel itself is very pretty and Caribbean colorful. Lots of pretty colorful foliage around the hotel. Hotel could use some updating such as better lighting in the rooms, accessible electrical outlets for electronics, good WiFi and some countertop in the bathroom area for toiletries. Better drainage when it rains. One night we had to wade through water to get to our room. There is no public transportation. Hotel staff arranges taxi service which is reasonable. Overall I would return. ##### Debra Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ayesha Jun 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Convenient and perfect location for what we wanted ##### Ayesha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hyacinth May 23, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It could have been better no water the breakfast was terrible. no garbage can in the bed room. ##### Hyacinth Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### David May 3, 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is old and needs repairs.services was Terrible. Would not use that Hotel again ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great place to idle ! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The property sits on a beach with a great view out to the water and sunsets. Morning breakfasts (included) served on the lovely patio deck were delicious and the service attentive. Spacious rooms with nice outdoor areas, benches and hammocks! The property needs some repair & maintenance after a couple of quiet years with few guests due to the pandemic, and the area seems under populated overall. But two lovely busy restaurants are a short drive away along the water, the Black River safari was an amazing day trip, as was an afternoon outing by boat to Floyd's Bar in the ocean ... and the nearby town of Black River bustles during the day with vendors, banks and food stops. The value and overall experience was perfect for our group of four. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jewel Paradise Cove Adult Beach Resort & Spa – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Jewel-Paradise-Cove-Adult-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h6430187.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets St. James Montego Bay - Luxury - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Secrets-St-James-Montego-Bay-Luxury-Adults-Only.h3197063.Hotel-Information) > > [Prospect Estate and Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Prospect-Estate-And-Villas.h17430741.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Hideaway Negril, An Autograph Collection® All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Hideaway-At-Royalton-Negril-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h15920957.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Royal Plantation - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Sandals-Royal-Plantation-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h606141.Hotel-Information) > > [Couples Sans Souci All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Couples-Sans-Souci-All-Inclusive.h581060.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Jamaica-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2057712.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Oyster Bay - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Excellence-Oyster-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h19647353.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Dunns River - Couples Only - All-inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ocho-Rios-Hotels-Sandals-Dunns-River-Falls.h82935367.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Lady-Hamilton-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2057715.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Jamaica-All-Inclusive.h1576054.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay - Luxury - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Secrets-Wild-Orchid-Montego-Bay-Luxury-Adults-Only.h3141707.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Palace Jamaica – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Ocho-Rios-Hotels-Moon-Palace-Jamaica-All-Inclusive.h9022224.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Cove-Discovery Bay 5BR](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Coral-Cove-Discovery-Bay-5BR.h21347308.Hotel-Information) > > [Breathless Montego Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Breathless-Montego-Bay-Adults-Only.h15714011.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Braco Village, Jamaica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-Bueno-Hotels-Melia-Braco-Village.h5259390.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay, An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Royalton-Blue-Waters-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h15437215.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Coral Spring - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Ocean-Coral-Spring-Resort-All-Inclusive.h37135707.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Runaway-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h7229415.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Ochi - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Sandals-Ochi-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h604152.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Montego Bay - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Catalonia-Montego-Bay-All-Inclusive.h25000.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Falmouth-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Aquarelle.h99455860.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Negril, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Royalton-Negril-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h15921095.Hotel-Information) > > [Couples Tower Isle All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Couples-Tower-Isle-All-Inclusive.h522057.Hotel-Information) > > [Franklyn D.
