Idlers Rest is essentially what you see in any other review, it's good for what it is and the location is not terrible. Where they excel they excel wonderfully but they're shortcomings are also as dramatic. I particularly did not enjoy hearing the dogs bark and the roosters crow throughout the night. However overall it was a comfortable enough stay where is it.

This hotel is on a secluded beach in a little beach town. The staff is accommodating and quite welcoming. Make sure to order your meals 12 hours in advance. This is a really nice place to stay.

The staff can’t be nicer or more helpful. The beach is beautiful. Juliet, the owner is super accommodating and helped with every aspect from cabs to tours and things we needed on the property. She was very good at explaining details about things you may not know about so you’re prepared.

Had a wondweful sray and will be going back, very relaxing and laid back,
If your looking for a real taste of jamaica, then this is it very unique setting,, be prepared for mosqitos at night due to the wondeful foilGe of plantz and trees, lavender oil and spray will repel them

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

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.
