Kuyaba Hotel & Restaurant - Negril, Jamaica

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!!

Beautiful beach location. Very good value for money and a delicious restaurant. Perfect for a long breakfast on the beach or dinner at sunset. We were here for business. And i would definitely stay again private. Rooms have Air Condition and nice Balconys.

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.

I can't speak to the rooms as we just came for dinner but we really enjoyed the restaurant. The happy hour was great ! The staff was so incredibly friendly! I was here with my 3 year old twins and they treated❤️ us so well. The food was good and the drinks were great!

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.

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.

Hospitality training must not be a requirement to work at Kuyaba. I’ll begin with the staff being totally bleak as if they are miserable at work. Perhaps moral is low. The front desk Candy was most kind and helpful but the male front desk worker was short with us and clearly showed annoyance when we asked any questions or tried to have any conversation. We avoided him but it made for an uncomfortable stay. I’m still not really sure what the “security guard” on the beach does as he only provided chairs for us once. The most friendly staff were the room service ladies and the male grounds keepers sweeping and cleaning. They smiled and greeted us everytime. The AC in our room did not work. Hot water rarely came in and the one time it did it lasted 10 minutes at most. There are no coffee makers or microwaves in the rooms and food service was a long wait no matter how empty the dinning area was. A good solution to that is eating elsewhere with friendlier efficient staff. Though this establishment is not at 4 or 5 star hotel the basic standards are lacking. I would say you get what you pay for but unfortunately this stay was worth much less.
