Kuyaba Hotel & Restaurant - Negril, Jamaica

I book into local hotels in Negril and even when I stay in Ochi but I will travel just to get to the Kuyaba restaurant for my breakfast lunch or dinner. The food is absolutely delicious, and I don’t know the name of the man who serves us, but he is so professional. Such a tranquil and peaceful place and the chef really does know how to cook. I was told that she’s been there for years…I’m due to go back in August 2026 and will be staying at a local hotel by eating my food at this restaurant And I’m hoping that the same chef is there….. Look out for me, my name is Anne-Marie…

Lovely restaurant. Food was quite nice. The curry goat and the fish was lovely. The brown stew chicken the gravy was too sweet for me.|But the actual restaurant is great. The view is to die for. The cocktails were tasty and strong and our server was friendly. Decent prices. I would go again.

I am in love with the bar/restaurant area of this hotel. Beautiful views of the beach. I came for dinner for the Bird of Paradise-stuffed chicken, and it was delicious! I had the peanut butter pie for dessert, and it was good, too. The service was great! If you come to eat, don't forget to say hello to the two parrots at the hotel, buddy and charlie!!

The food is just the best. I haven't stayed in the hotel so I can't comment but the food was the best I had tasted whilst on holiday.

Had dinner there, nice place, nice service, but all my food was extremely too salty. It ruined it for me.

We were walking along 7 mile beach and happened upon this restaurant. The food was delish, the drinks flavorful and the view is beautiful, all with a good price. The music and service added to a great experience. We didn't stay at the hotel.

A wonderful experience instead of an all inclusive resort. The rustic cottage was exactly that, this is not a big resort but all the bedding and bathroom linens were always clean. Shower was great, A/C worked great. Enter into one bedroom with the kitchenette attached, another bedroom with two single beds and then the bathroom. |This cottage has wooden floors and walls with some mold in the corners if you look really closely. It's an solid structure and we were very happy there. ||Kitchen had a propane stove we did not use. The fridge and freezer worked well, the coffee maker eventually made a pot, needed a cleaning for sure. We picked up juices, fruits, and beer and used our fridge to keep cold. Worked well. Restaurant was good and also walk out onto the street in the evening for jerk chicken and lots of options on the beach during the day for vendor food.

I have returned to this hotel many times (7 or 8?) The landscaping is lovely and very well maintained. There are also two large cages, each with a parrot. The hotel is located on the beach and has a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view of the water. It's a perfect place to watch the sunset. It's a relatively short walk to town from the hotel. Across the street from the hotel is Times Square, which has a number of gift shops. About a block from Times Square is a very small store that offers some essential food and beverage items, as well as some very good Jamaican patties. Kuyaba is not fancy, but I return there every time I come to Jamaica because it's very pleasant, with its convenient location, friendly staff, great restaurant, and lovely grounds.
