The cliffside freshwater pool was carved from solid rock, as were the ladders and stairs that lead down into Pristine Cove for swimming and snorkeling. The wood-hewn terraced restaurant and bar offers some of the best food in Negril, a new Jamaican cuisine featuring the flavorful spice of curries and the sweetness of tropical fruits. The restaurant is suspended directly over the water making it one of the best places to watch the sun go down.

With four-poster beds made of local timber and covered in the softest linens, soaring ceilings, and giant windows facing the sea or gardens, the rooms encourage ordering breakfast in bed before venturing out for snorkeling in the sheltered waters of the reef or an “On the Rocksa massage in the new open-air, cliff-top spa.Tip: The hotel funds The Rockhouse Foundation, which provides resources and facilities to Jamaican children; ask the front desk to help arrange a trip to a local school, where guests can donate supplies like notebooks and pens.Room to Book: An oversize Premium Villa for the killer sunsets every night.Why It's a Bargain: Your dollars do double duty; your vacation helps build and repair local schools and expand libraries.
