I basically just sleep there i didnt hang around for long. First nite was fine place look decent but the second morning i saw a lot of bugs. I wont starly ther again as this was a 1 time situation

We had an amazing experience. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable one. We attended a wedding for a family member. Even though it really ran late, the staff was very patient and stuck it out with us. Kudos to the kitchen staff, front desk clerk and even security. Idlers Rest is the place to be and a great wedding destination. We enjoyed our stay!! Awesome

It was a quite an calm environment

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.

The staff was super nice and the place has such good character and ambiance. 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. Just bring mosquito repellent because they are vicious here. Lots of great food and entertainment nearby. Much less congested and busy than the North Coast or Mobay

Beautiful and quiet!

The place was not clean overall. 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.

Convenient and perfect location for what we wanted

It could have been better no water the breakfast was terrible. no garbage can in the bed room.

Property is old and needs repairs.services was Terrible. Would not use that Hotel again

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.

Location of the hotel is great, close to all anyone would need for a pleasant getaway. Staff was pleasing and the accommodations met our needs, would stay again.

My stay at Idler beach house was a good one. I first met Juliet upon entering the property she was very professionally answered all my concerns. Her staff members are all welcoming and professional. Idlers beach hotel gives off a tropical oasis with beautiful trees and plants and for the most part the along side the beach. Does need a little upgrade? Yes. However, for my few days of stays it was well worth it. If you are looking for Sandals resort go to Sandal resorts. Idlers beach hotel carry’s their own identity and comfort. My son and I was served breakfast by the beach by one of he kind and gentle person I’m so sorry I can’t remember her name but she bring out the place very well. Idlers is a down earth place I welcome all to come and check it out it robust and full of nature characteristics made it worth while. Was not expensive at all. I give my stay 4.5. Thanks To all the Idlers staff members!

I like the location to the beach the property was rundown

Decent but would not stay again. Great location but that's about it, the place hat potential but seems to be hit hard by current world events. I would not recommend.

Don't even know where to start, first off the girl that was working when we arrived didn't know how to use the machine for us to pay, second they had absolutely nothing on their menu except fish, for people who don't eat fish then you went hungry, the had only 2 things to drink which was either Pepsi or coke, the mosquitoes were absolutely unbearable, the beach was not clean and the ocean water was exceptionally muddy, for the price i paid i would rather have stayed anywhere else!!

Off the beaten path. Friendly service. Conveniently located to town and other local areas of interest

Appearance needs improvement, staff was friendly & nice breakfast was very good.Grounds needs improvement on the lawn & trees.

Make mistake reservation made butHotel from Juiet send email let me out wrong booking. I was looking at near San Cruz, CAbut made Jamaica.

The overall look of the place was cute. But the most important thing was not, which was the condition of the rooms. The rooms had foul odor. The a/c did not work properly and kept shutting off in 90 degree weather! The shower was not clean and there is mold in between almost every tile/stone, so bad I had to shower in my slippers to avoid contact with bare feet. The bed felt like i was laying outside on concrete/asphalt so needless to say i did not sleep between the sweating and pain in my back from bed. Everything in the room was dusty! i was so uncomfortable that I got there at about 4 in the morning and left at 8am! I will be expecting a full refund for the 2 overpriced rooms I got!

This property has a lot going for it: it has a nice, friendly staff, the room size was really spacious, it had good hot water pressure, the continental breakfast was decent, it's centrally located to a lot of activities including YS Falls, Appleton Estate, Black River Safari tours, Negril and it's close to town, etc. You can get food onsite, cooked to order. If you're lucky, you get to meet some of the local fishing community out to get their catch of the day. Overall, this place offers convenience and value for your money. It could do with a bit of sprucing up though; the furniture is dated, there is no in-room fridge or mini fridge and it would be nice to have an extra spread on the bed. I enjoyed my stay and I will definitely stay again when I'm in the area.
