We were at Citronella in late October 2009 and had a wonderful time. We stayed in the Cove House. Our one-week stay at Citronealla afforded us the opportunity to see the "real" Negril area. Citronella is located about a 5-10 minute taxi drive from Negril's Seven Mile Beach area. The scenic location is Negril's West End on the 50 ft.... more

Couldn't ask for a more perfect place. I've been going down every year for the past 10 years. Missed last year due to the fact that I had a baby. Boy do I miss it. Will definitely make it down this year. Place has been around since the mid 70's. Before all the hotels on the beach. Still has the... more

The best vacation by far! Citronella was absolutely amazing! The view was unbelievable! Had awesome access to float on crystal water, or go snorkeling! Which we did everyday! Trevor and Jennifer were so helpful with anything we needed! I truly felt like I was taken care of and completely at home there. When you stay, make sure you walk out... more

If you are interested in experiencing American consumerism that blights an amazing tropical island paradise, DO NOT come to Citronella. This place is not Sandals, or Beaches, or worse, Hedonism II. There are no manufactured structures where you have to pay extra for a tiny private balcony with ocean view; these are native design Jamaican cottages with palm thatched roofs.... more

Once again thanks to all the TripAdvisor members who have shared their Citronella stories. This reviewer really hit the nail on the head to say that this place is NOT a Sandals, Beaches, or Hedonism type place. It's truly like having your own place on your own property that sits on a secluded paradise. You have your own private sea...

A great place to get away from everything and enjoy beautiful sunsets and quiet nights under the stars. We would spend the day swimming and snorkeling, and spend the night at Ricks Cafe just next store, or just relaxing. I would definitely do it again. more

Another 5 star review! Kudos again to Cathy and John for making Citronella such a great place to enjoy paradise. I wanted to point out a few things in this review. The quiet nights at Citronella on the cliffs of Negril under the stars are a memory I will never forget. I personally know exactly what this reviewer was feeling...

There was great anticipation as Trevor and his two faithful dogs guided us through the lush garden paradise of Citronella to the Round House, our cottage at the far end of the property. There was no disappointment either as we were led to a throw-back thatched hut perched at the top of cliffs overlooking the Western Caribbean. The water glittered... more

Shucks we lost a star on this one but we're still really excited about this 4 star review and as you can read from the review, this reviewer had a great time here at Citronella. Almost all the comments from this review are positive and the reviewer also brings to attention that this cottage (the Round House) has a ladder...

Having read the other reviews, we were expecting a lovely place, but it was much more than we expected. I am so glad we found Citronella, I would not have enjoyed Negril half as much if we had stayed on the beach. We stayed in the A frame cottage for 14 nights, and it was better equipped than I expected... more

Hi there this surfdust, manager of all things web for Citronella. We’re very pleased to have received yet another 5 star review. This story brings back memories because I spent my very first night ever in Jamaica in this same cottage (the A frame). It was the first basic shaping of my love for Jamaica and I returned to Citronella...

I spent a “year of relaxation, serenity, and calmness” … in ‘one-week’ … perched 50 feet above the aqua colored Caribbean Sea lounging in the most quaint “Cave House” in awe of being surrounded by sounds of water splashing on the rocks below and spectacular sunset views above. What a view lounging from my hammock on the porch or sitting... more

Hi there this is surfdust again, manager of all things web for Citro. We're ever so pleased to have received this lovely and very descriptive review. The "Cave House" is also my personal favorite on the property because of its spacious room and the cave beneath the house. I have spent some time there with my love as well. I...

We came down last November, prepared for a nice long stay on the cliffs but the hurricane forced us to the beach instead. Needless to say, it wasn't what we expected. This trip we were very fortunate to land at Citronella, the round house and were totally blow away!! Fantastic view from the front of a very cozy cottage that... more

Once again we're thrilled that we exceeded this reviewer's expectations. Thanks again to this reviewer and to the many other wonderful guests that have contributed to TripAdvisor. I would also like to point out that this is the second 5 star review in a row on the Round House. The Round House is our most popular house. Situated at one...

After traveling to various resorts in the D.R., the Caymans, the Bahamas, & Belize we have found our favorite place so far. We stayed in the Round House from April 9-16 and we were definitely not ready to leave when our time was up. From the time we walked through the gate we felt toatally relaxed. No phones, no TV,... more

Hi there this is Dusty (surfdust) manager of all things web for Citronella. On behalf of all the staff here at Citronella, we're thrilled this reviewer enjoyed our little piece of paradise. The Round House is also one of my favorites and the sea-grotto shower is a special treat just like we advertise. I'm thrilled this reviewer enjoyed it so...
