Private oceanfront hotel on Negril's West End cliffs with four swimming pools
Pools & Beach
The Westender Inn has four swimming pools, including two saltwater infinity pools with views of the Caribbean Sea. Guests use the private beach area with hammocks and sun loungers, plus a shallow end for children. A fence surrounds the kids' pool, and the infinity pools have a pool bar and towels provided.
Dining
Westie's restaurant serves authentic Jamaican food prepared from locally sourced ingredients, with dishes like oxtail, steamed veggies, and grilled shrimp. The bar offers fresh fruit drinks, rum cocktails, and a daily happy hour. Special diet menus and wine or champagne are available upon request.
Accommodations
The hotel offers a range of rooms: ocean view premium rooms, garden view deluxe cottages, and ocean view honeymoon suites with balconies and hammocks. Each room has a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. The cottages include a gas stove, fridge, and microwave for longer stays.
Activities & Entertainment
Onsite activities include snorkeling, diving, bike tours, and guided walks to waterfalls and eco-adventures. Themed dinner nights, bonfire Sundays, and live music performances happen weekly. Guests also enjoy nightly happy hour at the oceanfront bar and can watch dolphins from the cliffs.
Services & Location
A free shuttle runs three times daily to the hotel's sister property on Seven Mile Beach and to Rick's Cafe. The hotel is 3 km from Negril Lighthouse and a 90-minute drive from Sangster International Airport. Parking is free, and the concierge arranges airport transfers, taxis, and excursions.

Location: Free shuttle to Seven Mile Beach & nearby attractions
Family: Kids' pool, family rooms, free parking
“The clifftop setting, far removed from Negril's bustle, offers a real sense of tranquility, where the sounds of crashing waves replace the noise of crowds; rooms range from cozy cottages to ocean-view suites, but the true draw here is the access to both the cliffs and a sister beach on Seven Mile. It's a place where the staff remembers your name, and the sunsets feel like a private show, though the overall experience is wonderfully unpretentious.”
