Fun Things to Do – Cool Places to Go

Rockhouse is a boutique hotel stretching across the cliffs of Pristine Cove in Negril. The resort, nestled amongst eight acres of tropical lush gardens, boasts a 60-foot cliff-top horizon pool and an award winning restaurant set on a balcony suspended directly over the water. Thatched roofed villas with private sun-bathing decks perch on the cliff’s edge, and throughout the property, ladders and stairs carved into the rock lead down to easy water access for swimming and snorkeling on the reef.

Rockhouse has a newly constructed Spa, where the philosophy is a simple, holistic approach to well-being, health and happiness with Jamaican style. Spa treatments are undertaken “on-the-rocks” in the cliff-edge Massage Cabana, at the Caribbean Drench hut, inside the eight room garden spa, or can be arranged in the privacy of your guest room. Yoga classes are offered daily in the recently built yoga room.

The Rockhouse vibe is laid back; you’ll find that bare feet are more common than dress shoes at the restaurant. As the restaurant’s menu cover most appropriately warns – “Visiting Rockhouse for lunch can lead to staying for the sunset, ordering a cocktail, booking for dinner, checking in for a week, and coming back every year for the rest of your life … Don’t say we didn’t warn you!”

The hotel is located on the cliffs, two and a half miles west of Negril town on Negril’s West End Road. The hotel is sited on the western most point of Jamaica – the best spot for sunsets. The closest major international airport is Montego Bay, just over an hour away.

The objective of the hotel is to responsibly and sustainably balance the interests of all the parties: giving the guests an amazing vacation, making the staff partners in the success, taking care of the environment, while putting back into the community through the Rockhouse Foundation.

Travel & Leisure, Letters to the Editor
“Mornings at Rockhouse we listened to the surf crash while we drank coffee in bed; afternoons we read by the pool, snorkeled, or scanned for dolphins; evenings we watched the sunset, then ate dinner beneath the stars.”

Condé Nast Traveller, “Winter Sun Special – Jamaica”
“Close to Negril, Pristine Cove is quite an address to live up to, but Rockhouse Hotel fuses sensitively with the rocky landscape.”

Eve Magazine “Boutique on a Budget”
“Once in a while, we stumble across a place so friendly it feels like home – albeit a particularly stylish home with horizon pool, queen-size four-posters, private sun terraces, open-air showers and a dining room suspended over the sea. Jamaica’s Rockhouse Hotel is just such a place.”

Skywritings Magazine, Air Jamaica’s Inflight Magazine
“Look beyond the great design, the glorious sunset view, the charming service and cleansing sea breeze… you’ll see the world in a better light and you’ll find one of Jamaica’s most relaxed and authentic experiences.”

The Guardian UK, “On the Outside”
“Relaxed and insanely chilled I finally understood why nothing is a problem… with reggae playing in the background whilst the ocean laps against the rocks below, the Rockhouse is as unpretentious as you could wish a place to be.”
