Overview
Rockhouse Hotel gets its name from its rocky surroundings, which play into every aspect of this boutique hotel 3 miles west of downtown Negril, Jamaica. Its 34 air-conditioned villas and guest rooms are built directly into the volcanic stone of Pristine Cove, and contain mosquito-netted four-poster beds and eco-friendly solar heaters. Some villas even seem to be rising directly from the waves – recent guests appreciated the seclusion of their private wraparound balconies and open-air showers that meld seamlessly into the rocks. Like Rockhouse's accommodations, its restaurants' appearances and offerings reflect the bays and coves of Jamaica. Guests can enjoy a crab turnover in the airy, open dining room at Rockhouse Restaurant or savor peppered shrimp – a Jamaican street favorite – atop Pirates Cave in the Pushcart eatery (though some visitors think the restaurants are quite expensive). Even Rockhouse's spa takes cues from its surroundings – travelers can indulge in cliffside spa treatments like an invigorating coffee scrub or the Caribbean Drench, which mimics a Jamaican downpour.

Rooms vary between simple garden-view hotel-style units to more upscale cliffside villas with outdoor showers, but all have air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, free mosquito repellant, and minibars. There are no TVs in rooms, nor any kids under 12, helping to create a peaceful environment.
You might think the name is a reference to the musical legends – including Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, and reggae god Bob Marley – who first put this West End hotel on the map back in the 1970s. However, 'Rockhouse' is the perfect description of the boutique resort itself: a collection of rounded stone, timber, and thatch cottages with outdoor showers strewn along the low sea cliffs on the westernmost point of Jamaica.
A sign reads "Spa Zone – Keep the Vibes Calm," not a tall order at this beautiful boutique hotel that attracts discerning travelers, honeymooners, and celebrities. Its cottages and villas are placed along a cliff and offer rustic but stylish accommodations.
One of the West End's most beautiful and well-run hotels, with luxury thatched rondavels (African huts) built of pine and stone, plus studio apartments that dramatically cling to the cliffside above a small cove. Decor is basic yet romantic, with net-draped poster beds and strong Caribbean colors.
