I am so disappointed

31 Jan 2022
Arrived at the property with great expectations which were quickly dashed as the place was very poorly lighted. We were met by a man whom we are assuming is the caretaker/ security. He was quite pleasant and showed us the rooms. The first one on the lower floor smelled awful. We then went upstairs and was just as disappointed a whilst the room wasn't smelly it was so basic. It looked more like a brothel Payment of collected by the caretaker at the door, no receipts were given. . The sheets on the bed were not clean the bathroom had a whole ot of drain flies and teenager roaches. There was no sanitisation products in there. We had linen which luckily was in our uggage so we used what we had. We went out and bought Lysol and an insect spray as it was too late to go searching for someplace else as we are not used to the area. The bathroom had no cold water in the shower as the tap did not work, and the warm water was pretty warm. It made showering a very uncomfortable experience. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I was so happy to leave when morning came. This place is a far cry from a "hotel"

We had the nicest time

30 Jun 2019
Our experience with Idler's Rest started so very well, long before we even got there. The staff are friendly & very accommodating. The hotel is quaint & lovely and the rooms met our needs. Our kids had a great time at the beach. It's a nice place to take a little rest.

Peace and Quiet

31 Jul 2019
I went looking for peace and quiet and received just what I was seeking. I was introduced to a staff that treated me like royalty. The room was average but nice, but the location was what I loved most. Outside the sounds of the sea rocked me to sleep at night and lured me to watch the fishermen cast their nets early in the morning. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by the staff Jamaican-style had me longing for Jamaican cuisine each day while there and even now as I sit at home. I will definitely go back and when I do, Idlers Rest will be my place to lodge.

An oasis.

31 Mar 2019
After a really long bike ride thru Jamaica, this was a welcome rest at the end of the day. Fantastic room, scenery, food and service. Our bikes were safe overnight, we had food made to order, and a lovely beach in front of the hotel. Not touristy. Great vibe.
