My local take
Catcha Falling Star is one of the West End’s small cliff hotels: suites on the rocks, cottages in the garden, terraces stepping down to the sea and Ivan’s, a well-known restaurant for sunset dinners that outside guests come to as well. My take: it suits couples who want a small, romantic place on the cliffs and plan to eat around Negril.
Catcha isn’t on the Jamaica Tourist Board’s current hotel list, although its website is active. Email the hotel to confirm your dates before you book flights.
If it’s not quite right, look at The Cliff Hotel, a more upscale cliff hotel nearby, or Sunset at the Palms, a small, quiet adults-only all-inclusive near Seven Mile Beach. See where to stay in Negril.
