I stayed at idle awhile for four days and wish I had stayed longer! Everything was wonderful! The staff were so sweet and helpful..many of the staff had been with idle awhile for five plus years, so you know they are loyal to the resort! Anything I asked for they did their best to provide it.. I travelled with two... more

This hotel was perfect. Family friendly, but we didn’t see any kids. Romantic without being obnoxious. Perfect for friends traveling together (which is what we were). We were a group of 7(all in our late 20s) in 2 rooms and could have easily and comfortably slept 3 more. The staff is so kind and accommodating and everything was wonderfully clean... more

I spent several days at Idle Awhile, with 6 friends. We are in our late 20's and we were a little concerned that we were going during spring break... However, the hotel makes certain that the hotel is not overrun by spring breakers. Room - we had two of the suites. One was across the street, but they were both... more

Idle Awhile was such a pleasant surprise. It was spacious and immaculate. The interior design was pretty by any standard with a king platform bed and big terrace with ceiling fan. The room had A/C but it was not needed. I love this part of the beach as it sits in the center of the beach properties. The security was... more

We found Idle Awhile to be perfect for our relaxing, romantic winter vacation. My husband and I returned last week and immediately booked another vacation for December 2008. For our upcoming trip we booked an ocean view deluxe room. This trip the only room available was the suite across the street and although it was only a short walk to... more

I was never in Negril before so I was stunned at the beauty of the location let alone the situation of Idle Awhile. I would put it at about halfway on the visible beach, with hotels and properties gradually going upscale in one direction and more varied in the other. The beach also is better in the area closer to... more

Idle Awhile is truly one of the prettiest properties on Negril's seven mile beach. It's small and private and very romantic. The gardens are lush and the rooms are decorated tastefully. I was thrilled when we arrived and saw that the property was even prettier than the website! We had a one bedroom suite simply because it was all that... more

We stayed at Idle Awhile at the end of our stay in Negril. We stayed for 2 nights and the difference between our stay on the rocks and our stay on the beach was completely different - but great. The hotel is located conveniently in the middle of seven mile beach. We walked every where from here. Someone mentioned asking... more

This review is based on an off season trip - October. First, Review of Idle Awhile - Very small, basically 14 rooms, small restaurant/bar. Drinks, food and service was good. Rooms are very basic, but clean. The verandahs/patios are the best feature, which is why I chose the place. I recommend updgrading to an Ocean View. The Deluxe Garden units... more
