This hotel is located along the scenic West End of Negril.

The Westender Inn offers the kind of peaceful escape that many vacationers crave.

It is just a short drive from the popular Rick’s Café but a world away from the busy, high-traffic resorts and entertainment hotspots.

It’s the place where you can enjoy crystal-clear ocean views, complete silence if you want it, and simple comforts that don’t come with an inflated price tag.

So here's why Westender Inn is one of Negril’s best-kept boutique hotel secrets.

Why boutique hotels

Boutique hotels play an important role in Jamaica’s tourism landscape.

Not only do they offer a more personalized, peaceful, and culturally rooted, but they also support the local economy in meaningful ways.

Many are family-owned or locally operated, meaning the money you spend often stays in the community.

These hotels tend to employ locals, use local vendors, and reflect the personality of the area they’re in.

So if you want to experience the "real Jamaica" beyond the tourist trail, staying at a boutique hotel is a great way to do that.

What's included in your stay at Westender Inn

From the moment you arrive, you notice that the Westender Inn isn’t trying to compete with the big hotels—it’s offering something different.

It’s located directly on the cliffs of Negril’s West End, giving you front-row views of the Caribbean Sea.

One of its standout features is the three unique pools: a saltwater pool, a chlorine pool, and a beautiful infinity pool that seems to merge with the sea. 

This property maintains a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

You’ll be able to enjoy meals right by the ocean—imagine having your lunch as the waves roll in below you.

The entire property is clean, well-kept, and surrounded by neatly manicured gardens.

The calm environment is perfect for anyone looking to unplug and recharge.

The sunset views are another reason people fall in love with this place.

Many visitors head to Rick’s Café for sunset, but those who stay at Westender often find that the view from the inn is even better.

Service that feels personal

One thing that stands out at Westender Inn is the kindness of the staff.

While the property itself is lovely, it’s the people who help create a warm and welcoming vibe.

From check-in to check-out, guests often mention how easy it is to feel at home.

There’s no need to worry about long lines or rigid hotel routines—everything feels flexible, friendly, and unrushed.

You’re not paying extra for things you won’t use. Instead, you get peace, privacy, and a genuinely pleasant stay.
