HideAwhile - Negril

The name captures it all! Hide Away. Peaceful and private, yet just a short ride to the beach. We totally appreciated having a few days at the beach knowing we could get away from the crowd, have a quiet night and a beautiful morning by the sea.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Idle Awhile was really beautiful overall and we really enjoyed our stay - The property is well maintained, the staff is friendly, and you will no doubt enjoy your stay here. It was really nice to stay at a smaller scale resort instead of the cookie-cutter large-scale ones you might see elsewhere. Idle Awhile in general has a great personality - laid […] back, relaxing, friendly and care-free. The one downside to our stay might be that we would have preferred to stay at the sister location on the beach instead of on the cliffs just for convenience. The location on the cliffs is a little isolated and I would recommend renting a car to get around (this is what we did). If you want complete peace and quite, the Cliffs is right for you, but if you want to be on the beach and able to walk to other hotels, shops, etc, you might consider the other beach location.

Hide-Awhile was an ideal setting for the final 2 days of our 10 days in Negril. Gorgeous setting, beautiful room and superb service. We were the only ones at the resort and basically had our own "Private" staff. Chef Motto made us an amazing breakfast, Sandria, Richard and all the other staff were very responsive. Norman is the MAN! not only did he […] set up all of our taxi's and care for our luggage, but when my GF lost her phone in the taxi, he called and had it returned within 15 minutes Read more

This is a wonderful place to get away from it all! The property is tranquil and swimming by the cliffs is an amazing way to de-stress. The room was lovely, and very comfortable. I loved the convenience of the kitchen, especially the full sized fridge so that we were able to have wine, fruit, cheeses and other snacks readily available and in abundance. […] I also loved the fact that you have the best of both worlds with Hide Awhile, being that you have the seclusion and beauty of the cliffs, but full access to the Idle Awhile beach front property (Negril beaches being the absolute best). I will definitely be returning to to this property. As other reviewers have said, this is not the place for partying or entertainment. It is, however, the perfect place to relax and re-charge your batteries. Read more

This was a really beautiful hotel and the people working there were super friendly. From the infinity pool to the large rooms with wrap around balconies, the detail is excellent. By far one of the best resorts in Negril. One thing to note, however, this hotel is called Hide Awhile NOT Idle Awhile on the Cliffs. We spent a considerable amount of time […] and gas trying to figure that out. Even though my friend & I loved the ambiance, we came to Negril to party so the peacful and romantic hideaway was not fitting, given this hotel is a good 20 minute drive from all the action. Of course, Rick's cafe is only a 10 minute drive away, but other than, I would only recommend this hotel for the kinda of trip where you want to get away from civilization. Read more

This hotel is quiet and the rooms are very nice. Staff is pleasant and courteous and grounds are well-maintained. The area is very rough and anytime you leave the hotel, there is constant hustling and harassment. Even when you take the shuttle to Idle Awhile on the beach, hustlers will come up to you at your beach chair every few minutes begging you […] to buy low quality items at very high prices. It is impossible to relax, unless you stay on the grounds at Hide Awhile. I have been to Negril in the past and it has really gone down hill. Even when you eat at a restaurant, they overcharge and pretend it was a mistake. I will never be going back to Negril. Should you choose to visit Negril, this is probably one of the better resorts if you want some peace and quiet. Read more

Great place-very special. Not the right thing if you're looking to be in the middle of it all, but if solitude and beauty is what you're after, this is it! Very elegant.

The hotel is great but the restaurant is not there yet and you have to check in and out at the main property on the beach which is Idle Awhile and that was not stated when I made the reservation online and I was already in JaMaiCa down the street from Hide Awhile nowhere close to the main property but they did send a rep over to my room so I wouldn't […] have to go alllllllll the way to the Idle Awhile to check in......nice property!

We stayed in Quad 7 for 2 nites - so we didn't have time to fully take advantage of all the services they offer. The staff was extremely nice and very pleasant. Our room was decorated quite nicely, very clean and comfortable. Full kitchen and nice modern bathroom. The only annoyance was our airconditioner. It was not working properly. We complained […] and asked for assistance twice. The second nite - we were told the airconditioner had been fixed - but when we settled into our room to sleep - we quickly realized that nothing had been done. Overall our stay there was pleasant. Very quiet location. Make sure you stop at the supermarket in town to get all that you need before you arrive - as the resort is pretty far from town.. Read more
