With a spectacular cliff-side location like that of the Caves—but without the high price tag—the small and trendy Rockhouse delivers both resort comforts and funky style. Rooms and villas are built from rough-hewn timber, thatch, and stone and are filled with furniture that echoes the nature theme. Although double the price of a regular room, villas ($$$), which have outdoor showers and private sundecks above the cliffs, are worth the splurge. Studios have outdoor showers but are otherwise like the regular rooms, which seem pleasantly rustic. You can ask for a TV—but only to watch videos (DVDs and videos are available upon request). To be honest, you're far better off enjoying the sunsets, for which Negril is known. There's a thatch-roof Jamaican restaurant, a spa, yoga, kayaking, and a cliff-top infinity pool and bar. Pros: excellent dining; unique accommodations; beautiful pool area. Cons: no beach; may be too quiet for some visitors; traditional rooms are not nearly as nice as the villas.
