Our stay at The Caves was simply incredible! The location is stunning, perched on cliffs with gorgeous views. The accommodations were cozy and full of character, and the meals were out of this world—definitely some of the best we've ever had. While the atmosphere was serene, occasionally, we did experience some noise during the day. However, the overall experience was worth every penny, and we can't wait to return!

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the location is absolutely breathtaking, and the potential for an amazing experience is there, the overall upkeep of the property left a lot to be desired. The rooms were unique but not as luxurious as expected for the price. The service was friendly, but the limited availability of amenities was frustrating. I left feeling disappointed, especially given the high cost, which didn't match the experience we received.

I had an absolutely wonderful time at The Caves. The secluded cliffside location offers breathtaking views and a unique experience, making it feel like a hidden paradise. The rooms are spacious and full of character, though some areas lack adequate lighting. The dining was exceptional with delicious meals tailored to our tastes, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. However, getting in and out of the water can be a bit challenging, and while the ambiance is perfect for relaxation, it might not suit those looking for a busy beach scene.

I had an incredible stay at this hidden gem in Jamaica! The views were breathtaking, and the food was out of this world. The rooms, though rustic, were clean and cozy, which added to the charm. The staff made my wife's birthday unforgettable with thoughtful surprises. However, I did wish for more spacious rooms and a sandy beach closer to the resort, as it’s on a cliffside. Overall, it’s an excellent value for the unique experience it offers!
