The Caves – Room Style

Rooms at The Caves are part of the resort’s identity: small-scale, handcrafted, and set into a dramatic cliffside landscape rather than a large resort block.

• Eleven cottages plus a separate 4-bedroom villa
• Best for couples who want privacy and a romantic boutique setting
• All-inclusive rates include breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverages, and select activities

The Caves is the better pick if the room experience itself should feel memorable, intimate, and tied to Negril’s cliffs.

Sunset at the Palms Resort – Room Style

Sunset at the Palms Resort is the easier fit if you want a relaxed resort stay close to the beach, with the room experience supporting a more classic Negril vacation.

• Better for travelers who prefer a garden-style resort feel
• Convenient for guests who want sandy beach time nearby
• Best if you want less cliffside drama and more traditional resort comfort

If your ideal room is part of a leafy beach-resort escape rather than a cliffside hideaway, Sunset at the Palms Resort will feel more familiar.

The Caves – Pool & Ocean Scene

The Caves is not a sand-beach resort. Its appeal is the cliffside setting, saltwater pool, grottos, and ladder access into the sea.

• Cliffside saltwater swimming pool
• Ocean access by ladders on the rocks rather than a beach shoreline
• Best for confident swimmers and couples who want dramatic ocean scenery

Sunset at the Palms Resort is the stronger choice if easy access to Bloody Bay Beach is central to the trip.

If you want cliffside drama, choose The Caves; if you want a sandy beach to anchor the day, Sunset at the Palms Resort is the more practical pick.

The Caves – Atmosphere & Activities

• Included yoga, kayaking, nature walk, cooking classes, mixology classes, and rum tasting
