My wife and I have been to many properties in Negril, including the all inclusives. While they are a great way for first timers to Negril to experience this gem of an island, they have begun to charge for what used to be included, and are really not the value they once were unless you eat and drink everything in sight.

The contrast of a small, beautiful property like Beach House Villas is so refreshing to us for the charm, privacy, and especially the value it ultimately provides.

We staying in the Penthouse, which is fantastic, with our parents in the Ocean Suite, which is also outstanding. You won't find this kind of view or size of accomodation at any of the chains.

We also had some friends staying in the garden suites at the property, which are large, clean, and well equipped, just a very short walk to the beach.

The staff is a standout at this property, with special mentions to Vannette in the front office, Bull and Buju doing whatever it takes to keep the grounds groomed and the guests happy, and Kevin providing polite and professional security. This team really has a true Jamaican spirit.

Transportation from the airport and around town is provided by "Jinx" in a very safe, reasonable, and comfortable manner.

Our opinion after 15 years in a row visiting Negril, is that the beach area around BHV is the best stretch of the 7 mile beach. The sunsets from that perspective are great, the water perfect and the sand wide and clean.

Nearby smaller properties, independant local operators of stores, restaurants, watersports, etc., offer what we feel is the True Jamaican Vibe. Walking distance to downtown also is a benefit.

For those who want nightlife and especially great reggae music, this is the part of Negril that has it very close by. Alfred's, Bourbon Beach, and the Jungle are all just a stumble or crawl home.

While not an all inclusive, everything you need is there, or can be easily arranged. The beauty for us that you only pay for what you really need and want, and it all seemed very reasonable.

As an advanced diver, I had many more options that I have ever experienced with the "super all inclusives", and all of it done on MY schedule. I went to sites that those chains will never take you to, even if they did know where they were!

The restaurant has a great view and also good quality and value, with Beverly's service and smile a standout. Having a full kitchen to do some of our own meals, especially breakfast, really adds to the personlized experience.

While great for middle aged couples like us and our elderly parents, it was also enjoyed by our younger friends with small children.

So if you are looking for a truly Jamaican, laid back beach experience that is personalized to your needs, this is the place.

We'll be returning next year, and hopefully for years to come.

My husband and I got bedbugs at this hotel, and they have now infested our house. We are sure that we got them here - we now know all the warning signs (bites, the smell of our clothes, etc), but did not recognize them at the time. Jamaica was wonderful though. We would go back - and stay somewhere else!

Just got back from the Beach House Villas and can't say enough good things. The friendly people who work at this hotel are the best, from the bartending and wait staff to the front desk people and groundskeepers. Our 2 bedroom villa was very clean and spacious. The breakfasts and lunches we had were good as well. The beach in front the hotel is kept clean and there are ample beach chairs. After viewing some other locations on the 7 mile beach, I can't imagine having stayed anywhere else!

This was my wife and I's tenth trip to Jamaica. For the first time we decided to try a non all inclusive resort, one that was smaller than we had stayed in but yet on seven mile beach. We arrived early evening and was welcomed by George (security/porter). George took us to our room and made sure everthing was OK. We hade a beautiful room, (the standard, cheapest, Garden View room,) complete with full kitchen area, king bed and nice patio. We had decided to eat at different restaurants, but by the 7th and last day we had realized we hadn't been any where else to have dinner. The restaurant food was very good, plenty of options and very reasonably priced. Lunch was around $8.00 per person and dinner was about $10.00 to $13.00 per person. This always included the gratuaties. They are always figured in the final tab (10%). The service was great and the estaurant staff was always very helpful and fun to visit with. We noticed people from every other nearby hotel's were always coming for lunch and dinner.There was a real noticeable ambiance about the hotel. All employee worked very good together and their first order of business was to take care of the client. The only thing that we can actually say was a deterrent was the misquito's, but we had these problems at every hotel we've stayed in in Jamaica, and were prepared with DEET. We haver never returned to the same hotel that we have stayed in, always trying something newm but we WILL return to BEACH HOUSE VILLAS.
