The property is attractively designed and well-kept. Great food at the restaurant, especially the steamed fish. They have their own boat so they can arrange tours to Pelican Bar a must do for any trip to the South Coast. The main area for improvement is the rooms. They are very spacious to the point of looking empty. Only furniture in... more

I had an AMAZING time at Idlers' Rest! Wanting to visit a part of Jamaica that is away from the typical tourist mania, my friends and I took a short trip to Black River. What a great choice! Idlers' is located on a pristine strip of beach, which seemed virtually isolated. This led to absolute calm and relaxation on the... more

Pro: This is a great location for a beautiful sunset. The hotel is small but well maintained with very nice staff. At first, we were given a small room downstairs but we asked to switch and was then given a larger room upstairs with our own outdoor sitting area for the same price. We were the only guest in the... more

From the street view you can not see the ambiance of this lil best kept secret in Jamaica. I am a avid hotel hopper and I was overwhelmingly pleased when I stepped onto the property. Each newly decorated room has a hammock outside your door for simply relaxing while the beach front restaurant supplies all the view of Jamaica you... more

Total relaxation found! Can you imagine walking on a beach night or day and only running into the local fishermen. On the beaches of the southern coast of Jamaica this is still a way of life and Idlers Rest is the place to go to experience old world Jamaica. My husband and I would take leisurely strolls on the beach... more
