Independent in West End from NZ$150

"We originally booked a garden bungalow, but were placed in the older side of the oceanfront rooms instead. We ended up liking it better, so we kept it. The rooms were older, but comfortable and clean. Very close to the ocean, pool, and food. We LOVED swimming in the ocean and jumping off the cliffs. The water was amazing. Warm and clear. For us this was much nicer than the small beachfront on the sister resort, Legends. Along with swimming a lot, we also walked to restaurants along the road, and even walked all the way into Negril. Rick’s Cafe and Xtabi were also two nearby locations that we walked to and swam. It was easy to run/jog along the road early in the mornings before the traffic picked up. We did not purchase all inclusive. Instead we ate the breakfast buffet and a late lunch. That was enough food for us each day, as the portions were large. The wifi worked great. We were able to work remotely when our jobs required it. Throughout our stay, we enjoyed talking with the staff. They were quick to laugh with us, and provided great service. We rented a car to drive from Montego Bay to Samsara. But in the end we wished we had just taken the shuttle. We had to do the trip after sundown. Driving at night was very terrifying for us. Narrow roads. Potholes. Stray dogs. And driving on the wrong side of the road (for us Canadians). Driving during the day proved to be much more enjoyable, but in hindsight we didn’t need the car rental. It would have been easy to access tax"

"Great location, easy to walk to dining options and small supermarkets. So quiet at night you can hear a pin drop. The included breakfast was great too! "
