Had a wonderful stay at the Sunrise Club. This boutique hotel is located at the southern end of 7 Mile Beach, away from the crowds that inhabit the large resorts like beaches, sandals, and couples. It's directly across from Bourbon Beach, which hosts live music, and only a 10 minute drive to Rick's Cafe, a world-famous Negril bar, and two minutes from "The Jungle," which is characterized as the best nightclub in the Caribbean.
The hotel owner, Luca, is attentive and the personalized service is unlike any I've received elsewhere. They clearly take great pride in manicuring the grounds and keeping the guests happy. Food is incredible, all with an Italian flair. (The best espresso made from Jamaican Blue mountain coffee served at their bar.) I unfortunately traveled during the spawning season for lobster, and was unable to sample some of their marquee dishes. But everything I had was delicious, and worth a visit to their restaurant even if you're staying elsewhere in Negril.
The rooms are minimalist, but clean with good air conditioning, which is important. Everyone is friendly, with several colorful locals who frequent the bar. I will definitely return for a future stay!
