My wife and I just returned from spending a week at Jah Freedom Inn. This was our fifth time visiting Negril but our first time not staying at an all-inclusive resort. We can happily report that after this trip we will be only be visiting non-resort lodges. Steve was such a great host from the time he picked us up at the airport. He gave us an aptly curated tour during our trip from MoBay to Negril, making it easy to see his love for the island. During our week long stay, Steve shared so much knowledge and love for Negril with us. He drove us to great **** huts, helped us get to a resort that offered daily use of their pool and beach (as long as you support the bar/grill), and suggested many great locations for us to enjoy dinner. Steve also spent an entire Saturday afternoon taking us on a great trek through the true Jamaican landscape so that we could go cool off in a river with kind locals. As for the amenities, we stayed in the Guava Room and our experience was great. The AC unit in the room, in conjunction with the overhead fan, kept the room cool and comfortable. The terrace we had access to had amazing views of the water, coast, and lush vegetation of Negril. The room and bathroom were kept clean by housecleaning staff and everything was great. We were even lucky enough to have a true home cooked Jamaican dinner one night with Steve, in addition to the breakfasts of cut up fruit that we enjoyed on the terrace. One of the best places we ate at during this trip, Canoe Bar, is only a quarter mile down the road from the house. Here you can find great breakfast, lunch, or dinner options, plus an amazing area of beach that is open for swimming or snorkeling if you’re looking for easy access to the sand and ocean. Overall, Jah Freedom Inn is a very fine option for lodging in Negril. Steve is an awesome host who will go above and beyond to make your stay memorable and to help you enjoy a truly unique experience. We can’t wait to return.
