The Caves

March 2025 Where to begin?? We've just returned from 4 nights at the Caves, Negril. We will definitely return! The Caves has been on our bucket list since 2000 when we stayed at a different Island Outpost resort. From the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew we'd made the right decision to spend our 25th anniversary at this beautiful oasis. Our room was ultimately romantic and had a stunning view of the water once the shutters were opened wide. We loved how our room was really incorporated into the landscaping and the amazing cross breezes that lulled us to sleep each night. Our room was near the blue hole, so we did hear crashing waves in the cave at night, which just added to the ambiance and natural serenity. The private cave dining experience is not to be missed. Surrounded by hundreds of candles, the dinner is one of the most romantic evenings we've ever spent. For thrillseekers, jumping into the blue hole and swimming out through the cave was more than a little scary, and I'm not afraid of heights. Still, I enjoyed it enough to jump more than once! The cliffside jumping/diving platforms of varying heights throughout the resort will keep adventurers busy! For less gravity-defying activities, snorkeling along the wall of the resort was enjoyable, with lots to see just 15-20 feet below the surface. All meals were exquisite and fresh, with lots of local fruit and vegetables. We particularly enjoyed barbecue chicken, fish in foil, and all of the soups (surprising because I wouldn't think that I'd want to eat soup when it's hot but trust me, it's worth it!). The staff were super attentive and pleasant, willing to help whenever needed. We had a phenomenal couples massage with Elizabeth and Michelle at the spa hut overlooking the water - a real highlight of our trip. If you are looking for big nightlife, this probably isn't your place. If you're looking for relaxation, rejuvenation, and romance, then you've found your place.

The Caves resort in Jamaica is an absolute treasure. The three words that describe it for me are magical, fairytale, unforgettable. The beauty and quality of service is beyond words. The beautiful staff are the warmest and most hospitable, welcoming people ever. They are lights in this world. Thank you all for sharing your light with me! Until next time Jamaica, I'll see you soon at The Caves!!!

Very quiet, intimate setting. The chef’s there are great, every meal was solid. Their staff is nice and very accommodating. The only thing this hotel needs is some updates to their rooms, otherwise it’s perfect for a quiet getaway If you’re looking for action and partying, go to Rick’s Cafe. It’s not even a mile from this resort

I think that there is only one word that can describe our experience at The Caves: MAGICAL .Intimate atmosphere, wonderful staff, beautiful views, amazing food, quiet, romantic, peaceful…. We can’t wait to come back to this little piece of paradise.

After booking online, we received an email from Gisell at Island Outpost reservations. Over the next month, I had sent so many emails inquiring about information and room upgrades. Huge shout out to Gisell!! She went above and beyond with the best customer service - everything was perfect. We were greeted at the airport by Chris who was our taxi driver (arranged through the hotel). During our 1.5 hour drive from the airport, Chris provided history and information about his country. Thank you Chris! We arrived on a Saturday afternoon after a long flight & taxi to be greeted with a welcome drink upon arrival. The check-in process was very smooth and we were also granted a tour of the property. We stayed 7 nights in the butterfly room which was very beautiful. The room was very clean - you could tell the housekeeping team was very thorough (housekeeping is the backbone of any hotel). Don’t forget to give your housekeeping team a cash tip - they deserve it. We enjoyed keeping the shutters open all day to enjoy the breeze - air conditioning really wasn’t necessary. The bedroom mattress was very comfortable. We slept with the bug net surrounding our bed, but we never saw a mosquito the entire trip. There was no television & spotty wifi, which was perfect for us trying to reset and relax. The hotel grounds & gardens were taken care of so well by the employees. I even saw the GM walk the property multiple times a day - that’s when you know you’re staying at the best hotel. Way to go Karen! We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday - never had a bad meal. They offered specials daily and also the option to have breakfast in our room. On our last night of our trip we enjoyed a private cave dinner, which was amazing - make sure to book one! The best part of our trip was cliff jumping and snorkeling, followed by relaxing! Being that it was a small hotel, you’ll get to know the other guests staying on property. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. This is the part when you expect to see pictures, but our pictures wouldn’t do this hotel any justice. It’s absolutely beautiful at the Caves hotel, go check it out for yourselves. To the Caves staff, thank you for such an amazing experience. Your hospitality was exceptional and we can see why so many couples return year after year. It’s all about the best customer service and you all have it. Keep up the great work!! Shout-out to Melissa, Karen, Randy, Nick, Stacey, Adeema, Baller, Glen, Omar, Zoom, Pernaldo, Glen, Omar, Floyd, Earl, and Grace. Warm Regards, Tiffany & Jason
