Idlers Rest is the best!!
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

8/10 Very good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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

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.
