We stayed at Idle Awhile from June 27-30th-- a short stay for a wedding (at Negril Escape). We chose to stay here for the beach after researching it at Frommers - then here. The pictures are exactly what you should expect. This hotel is owned by Couples Swept Away and I am told that the room setup is almost identical.... more

The property is surrounded by beautiful green foliage giving the rooms ample privacy.... more

If there were one thing that I might suggest improving, it would be the breakfast/ lunch menu . Healthier choices, such as yogurts, granolas, lofat muffins and multi grain breads ( not white) for... more
