We stayed at Idle Awhile from Jan 22 to the 28th. This was our 5th trip to Jamaica. We have been to St. Martin, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Antiqua and Puerto Rico. Husband has gone to Mexico, Thailand and Costa Rica. Once we visited Jamaica we have not strayed. We stayed at Couples Swept Away twice, visited Couples Negril, stayed at... More

I was ready for a change from the big, fancy all-inclusives, so after much research decided to choose Idle Awhile. Here's the good and not-so-good for my first trip to Negril: 1) Trip from Montego Bay airport: excellent! Booked Juta Negril for $36/person round trip. Only waited a few minutes for another family and then we were on our way.... More

Just returned from five nights at Idle and in a word it was fantastic. It began with Nathefa who took my reservation so nicely on the phone and it moved on to Tony who after picking us up at the airport became our lifeline to the island with his excellent driving and local knowledge. I recommend using Tony as your... More

We have been traveling to the Abacos in the Bahamas for the last 10 years and decided to finally try a different destination. We researched places on Tripadvisor and various other sources and decided to go to Idle Awhile in Negril. We loved everything about this resort. We let the resort handle our transfers from the airport, which were private... More

Our family of four (two college boys) just spent ten nights at Idle Awhile. We were part of a larger family group totaling eleven adults. Some of us stayed at Charella Inn and Coco La Palm next door. Idle Awhile was by far the best of the three options. We felt lucky to get rooms here during the peak christmas... More

My fiance' and i have stayed here twice, and we absolutley love this cute boutique property! There are so many positives, very few negatives, and even so those are inconsequential, and it i think it is all subjective! Ok, the pluses: GREAT location right on 7 mile beach. Soft sand, calm waters, the hotel provides rafts you can use... Also... More

My fiancee and I stayed here last week, as a base for running the Reggae Half Marathon. The location for that was perfect as the race start was a 10 minute walk. I was hesitant to agree to take the one unit across the street from the beach, though the staff assured me it was nice. It's actually an awesome... More

After searching for the perfect place for our destination wedding weekend, we came across Idle Awhile Resort. WHAT A BLESSING! We were married on November 12, 2011 on the beach at Idle Awhile. From the day we arrived, we were greeted with nothing but smiles, courtesy and Jamaican charm. The staff was EXCELLENT, the drinks WONDERFUL, the rooms AMAZING and... More
