Having been to Negril 6 years ago we already knew that there'd be less "value" compared with other places in the Caribbean. $200 USD per night could go farther or get nicer elsewhere, but we anticipated what to expect and were satisfied with a 2-bedroom suite only steps from the water. Speaking of which, did the beach change? I thought for sure the beach was wider back then. I looked at brochures and consulted with Patrick the barkeep (who makes killer concoctions) and he confirmed that the beach has eroded. In a way it's sort of cool! Your sunset dinner or breakfast coffee is literally right on the beach and the water laps up gently right to your feet. Breakfast is included, which really made things convenient for kids. Every place has their clientele and this particular week at Tree House had a lot of beautiful African American sisters seemingly getting their groove back. Perhaps that's the place to be, as they served grits and greens for breakfast. There's a wide range of Tree House activities at your doorstep- glass bottom boat snorkeling, parasailing, horse-back riding, etc. A final note, not only would I recommend going there because it's a great place, but the recent explosion of huge mega resorts is carving into the sustainability of the smaller (and now older) hotels, I believe. I know the allure of all-inclusives, but recommend you try Tree House instead.

Thank you Ms. Jackson and your team for a wonderful holiday. We have just returned from Negril and stayed at this little hotel, which we stayed at about 9 years ago. Nothing has changed. The breakfast is included in the accommodation, and its was wonderful, a choice of jamaican breakfast, and continental, with fresh fruit salad - a joy. The accommodation was extremely clean, although it could do with a refurb, but this is jamaica. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is right on the beach and you can sit and watch the sun goes down, wonderful. They make every effort to clean the beach every day. The supermarket is about 5 miles down the road. The hotel, as all hotels is expensive to eat in, but we found a local cafe called Pilot, about 100 yards up from the Treehouse on the beach that, that sells excellent jamaican food. It is always best to buy your beers at the supermarket, as we find it cost about 330JA for 6, instead of about 150JA+ at the hotel.

I loved the Treehouse!!! Usually I always stay at all inclusive hotels, but my husband wanted to try something different this trip. We travel to Jamaica a few times a year, so we've been around. Our first week we stayed at the Rayon, which was just ok, wouldnt go again. Then we booked into the Treehouse and loved it!!! Even though it wasnt all inclusive, I really like the room which was tropical and spacious and clean. The walls are a little thin though, easy to hear tv next door, but not a real problem. The bathroom was huge. The swings out on the front porch were so cute and great for just kicking back and chilling. The beach was great and just a few hotels down from Margueritaville if we wanted to walk down for a livelier atmosphere. Location wise it great because its right on the 7mile beach (which is breathtaking!!!) and can walk up and down to see whats going on at other hotels or bars. Watersports are available also. The bar and grill is right on the beach. Towels were plentiful and right at the front desk, not far from the pool and beach areas. The staff was very hepful and friendly. Overall the food was good, although I think breakfast which was included needs more variety. And a couple a times we got to breakfast at 10:45am and there was nothing to eat but cereal. They put everything else away. Breakfast is supposed to over at 11am. They need to make sure the full breakfast that is included w the room is available till the official end of breakfast. But besides that I plan on going back to the Treehouse again. Great for the price!!!

If you want to stay at the Ritz, this ain't it. If you want a clean place with a comfortable bed to sleep in, great beach and great location at a very reasonable price, the Treehouse is a good choice. In addition to a nice clean room with a very large shower, the grounds are beautiful, and they offer a very tasty Jamaican breakfast each morning.

Unique Qualities: The beach location is terrific. If you want to enjoy a romantic view of the sunset, the deck where they serve breakfast was always deserted at sunset and a great place to take it in from.

In addition to rotating Jamaican fair, great fruit and blue montain coffee, they have custom made omelets for breakfast each morning
