Kuyaba ~ Negril, Jamaica
In terms of the numbers of hotels on Negril Beach, and the appointments that Kuyaba offers in comparison to those, naming this hotel Kuyaba may not be presumptuous.
However, at either end of their property Kuyaba offers the visitor "old Negril" lodgings at a discounted rate, described by them as cosy and rustic. Hmmmph!
Old is accurate, run down is right on; cosy and rustic, they are not, as far as we are concerened.
Unless you are inclined to hearing your next-door neighbour's every inhalation and exhalation, and noting every one of their movements by the creaking of the floor boards in both their and your room, do not stay in a Kuyaba rustic cabin.
If you like a well lighted room, with bedside lamps and a comfortable headboard to lean against while you read in bed, do not opt to stay in the rustic cabins. Your head will ricochet between open studs and the outside plank siding of the room.
If you do not like sharing your room with an unusually high assortment of Jamaican insects, including red ants 12 mm (1/2" long), since many of the floor boards are open to the under-side of the cabin area of the extremely rustic room, do not stay in Kuyaba's cabins. The rate for these rooms might be appealing, but the end result for sure, is not appealing at all, to us at least. I also think know, with due diligence, you can find rooms on Negril Beach in the same price range that these Kuyaba "rustic" cabins offer, that provide far more value for the buck.
Yet, here we are, staying at Kuyaba. Why?
More on that coming shortly.
