As a female traveling alone, I wondered how to enjoy all Jamaica has to offer on my own. The owner of Chippewa was so accomidating. I had a charming apartment designed and built by him. A master woodworker, chef, and clothing maker. The pool was spectacular and so many places on the property to enjoy the moonlight. His Eco friendly... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Chippewa for 4 days in February. We were trying to keep costs down and travel around as much as possible, so Chippewa was definitely in our price range. We stayed in one of the little one room cottages, which was kept very clean and suited our needs perfectly. One thing that was super great... more

My wife and I stayed at Chippewa Village for the second time and will be back. In fact we are planning to be there for her 60th birthday in two years, and inviting a bunch of friends to take over the place for a couple of weeks. All the buildings were designed and built by John Babcook, the live-in owner.... more

We stayed four nights here in August and had a great time. Although we'd booked a cottage, when we arrived we changed it to a studio (negotiated a good rate too). This was a good idea as it meant we had cooking facilities. The quirky room was very large (two double beds) and clean. John, the owner, is very friendly,... more

My husband and I are low-key people (public school teachers and activists) who have travelled extensively and have stayed in hostels, homestays, luxury resorts and tents. I say this because I wouldn't want the reader to think I'm a snob when I say the following: we were completely disappointed by Chippewa Village and switched hotels after 2 nights of staying... more

I just had to write a note about Chippewa Village in Negril. I have stayed there twice. Both times, John (the owner) was incredibly welcoming to my friend and I. Courteous and full of great advice about the best places to eat, chill, and sunbathe in Negril, John far exceeds the usual customer service provider. Let me demonstrate: my hotel... more

Great quiet and cozy place close to the beach but without all the hussle going on down at the beach. We were there at low season, so we were almost alone there, but I could just imagine how social it could be during high season. The hospitality was perfect! The manager took care of us and baked us some strong... more

Let me start by saying, Chippewa is not for the posh-spa seeking traveler. This is a very simple, private, quiet, no frills place to stay. For us, it was great. We woke up to the Great Morass sunrises, and watched the sunsets on the beach. I felt like I was in two worlds. There was the hussle and bussle of... more

First off, I'm embarrassed that I didn't write a review immediately upon returning to the States... Simply ungrateful! Like my title implies, I would absolutely hate for this place to be flooded with the Snobbish and Self-Important. These types would do their best to take advantage of one of the nicest, most helpful, and coolest hotel owners I've ever met.... more
