“I took a shot in the dark....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

And my aim did not fail me! I decided to spend the Christmas holiday in Jamaica to continue a trend. I did not know where to stay, though I knew I didn't want to to a chain resort.

I split the trip up into two sections with the second being the stay at the Westender Inn. Head and shoulders above the previous location, I was amazed at the hospitality, the variety, and the pleasant demeanor of all encountered.

It was very clean, quiet and secluded. You didn't have to leave the property if you didn't desire too. Plenty of sun, space and breeze to unwind. Little to no traffic.

The food was great, made to order and with a smile. Fresh drinks and a the staff were pleasant and consistent. I can see myself visiting again and again just to get away from the bustle of the tourists!

I appreciate businesses like this because they go to great lengths to make sure your needs are met.

Thank you Keith! Thank you Sheldon (#1 DJ Selector!)

“A very special place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

We have just returned from a short stay at the Westender Inn. We endorse enthusiastically EVERYTHING that others have mentioned about the location, the lovely rooms, the views and the truly amazing staff. Also we would like to emphasize that the hotel is only a few minutes' drive from the town and some great restaurants (try Tensing Pen and Cosmo's on the beach) but is truly a haven from the craziness of the 7 mile beach, Rick's Cafe etc. etc. So, if you are the sort of traveler who likes to decide when to be more "sociable" and when to relax completely, this is the place for you. We will definitely return.

Room Tip: Rooms facing the water are all wonderful - Cactus and Almond (above the office) are roomy, comfortab...

“No second stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Despite the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, it should be pointed out that the Westender Inn is located on a rocky strip and does NOT have any convenient access to the sea, let alone a sandy beach as one would expect it in the Caribbean. Moreover, one higly depends on transport services to move around for the very secluded location.

On the other hand, it is a very relaxing place where outstanding sunsets can be enjoyed with a Red Stripe (local beer).

Room Tip: Take an upgrade and negotiate the rate!

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at the Westender Inn. We are very pleased with all the positive Tripadvisor comments and we work hard to ensure all our guests are just as satisfied.

The Westender Inn is located on Negril cliffs so there is not a beach but we are on the sea front. We have two convenient ladder access points to the sea and another one walk in area next to our sea pool - and excellent snorkeling in the area.

The vast majority of our guests come to the Westender Inn because they prefer a private location that is close to town but not in the middle of all the action. We have shuttle buses for airport transfer and to move guest around town or tours.

We absolutely love our location. Thanks again your feedback.

“Never felt so at home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

The nicest staff, EVER! Make you feel like family, but not too obtrusive. I've been to Jamaica, many times, many parts of the island. Unlike many vacations were I takes a few days to wind down, you are immediately at ease at the Westender. Not a place for high maintenance divas, just for people who like to chill out, enjoy good food, quite, and great service! I will be returning here again and again. Thanks to the amazing staff! Wow!

Room Tip: Upgrade to a suite- you won't regret it! You'll feel very safe here. No gym, but nice walks...

“Best trip in a long time!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

Just returned from the most relaxing vacation ever. We stayed at the Westender Inn in Negril for our first ever visit to Jamaica, this certainly won't be our last. The staff was simply amazing and the grounds stunning, I truly felt like we left family on our last day. The food was authentic and very delicious, chef you know the way to my heart. We met so many wonderful people that were also staying on the property and we even got to witness a wedding, so beautiful. The Sunday night Bonfire and dinner is not to be missed. Renee, Keith, Trevine, Dane ( you let me call you Dan in my southern drawl all week), Germaine ( remember Jesus, Joseph and Mary...lol), Sheldon, Chef Anthony, Kmar and Nelson (thank you for all the history on the way back to the airport), you all made our first trip to Jamaica amazing and we will see you again.

Room Tip: Room 12 is amazing and you can hear the ocean while you sleep.
