"Stunning location, ideal if looking for a quieter more intimate hotel but with the option to go to a sister hotel for the party vibes if needed. The staff are wonderful and go over and above each day to ensure your time there is special."

Loved it. Worth every penny. Locals are friendly, it’s like a part of the island to yourself. A must do if you aren’t a fan of resorts. Massage was one of the best I’ve had and I’m a massage therapist. When I say clean, I mean clean. Not a dust particle in sight, just a lovely experience from the moment we touched down.

Our stay was great. I would give this property 10 stars!! Natoya and her family went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Natoya reached out to me about a week before our stay, and she constantly communicated with me to make sure our needs were met during our stay. The villa was amazing, and is located in a gated community. It was more than enough to accommodate my family of five. We chose the all inclusive option which included meals, and the food was amazing.

Needed an impromptu quiet night and was grateful to find the blue room at a moment's notice. The room was beautiful and I needed the quietness. Muhammad was amazing, even took me to the grocery store. I will be back soon that's for sure.

Took a week-long trip with my girlfriend in late July 2015 and stayed in the oceanfront room.
Grounds/staff: The grounds are extremely well-kept and every single member of the staff is incredibly polite and friendly. The ambiance is highly relaxing and extremely quiet; not what my girlfriend and I were expecting in Jamaica, but isn't necessarily a bad thing. The mosquitoes became a bit bothersome, but the hotel made every effort to prevent this by 'fogging' the lower area of the resort twice...

Anyone who is looking for a great resort with impeccable service should stay here. We stayed at this hotel for 8 days in mid-January 2017 and couldn't have been more pleased. Rooms are fantastic as they all have balconies and are ocean view. We have been all over the Caribbean and I would rate the Cliff as one of the top resorts I have been too. If you want to ocean swim, they have low and high cliffs to jump off and ladders into the ocean if you prefer to ease in. If you want to lounge...

Tensing Pen is the perfect escape. This tiny resort with the cottages scattered across the property provides a perfect taste of Jamaica. The location on the cliffs is gorgeous and starting each morning with a swim from the cliffs is ideal. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is quite delicious for those days that you want to relax and not wander afield. However there are several other resorts with amazing restaurants and little local bars and eateries near by that you can...

Everything is amazing at this resort. Every aspect is picture perfect. We enjoyed our stay at Half-Moon and was pleasantly surprised by everything the resort offered. The only issue we had was the cost for beverages and food. The all-inclusive plan was absolutely absurd at $210 a person per day so we stuck with the pay as you go plan. Average meal for dinner will run you no less than $120 a couple.

We were the first guest ever to arrive at the resort on the adult side and they treated us like celebrities. I really enjoyed the food the food was bomb and yes I am black. I loved the buffet when I went home I missed the buffet that’s the best part and everything is all inclusive. The resort itself is beautiful very modern and clean and our room was spacious enough for 2 people. The customer service was the best I ever had they really strived to make our birthdays special.

What a find! One of the nicest, friendliest staff we've ever encountered. The owner Sonia, even came by and greeted everyone in the vicinity. Room was comfortable, roomy, clean. Many places to relax and enjoy the ambiance. Oh so picturesque, nestled in such lush tropical landscaping. Will definitely go there again

To hotel staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was great! The hotel restaurant food is really good! I tried many places in the area for food but the best food I ate while in Jamaica came from the hotel restaurant.

This was a great choice for me. I felt very safe, everybody asked how I was each day. The staff and vendors were friendly but not overbearing.
The room was spotless!!! Beds comfy, great TV with American channels.
The onsite restaurant was good with a limited menu but everything I had was very good.

Our second visit to Idle Awhile, and our first time in a Garden View unit. There are only 8 of these, four per floor. The beachfront building contains 4 identical suites, 2 per floor. Unit 102 (our garden) was a ground floor unit and provided some amount of privacy as we used the lanai extensively. 103 and the 4 upstairs units also offer privacy on the lanais.
We were surprised that the garden units were not equipped with a coffeemaker. At $7/half pot, we purchased a used coffeemaker in town...
