Country Country

Just stayed here 2 weeks and I’m going to give you a real report starting with the good points: Country Country has the best beach area on this stretch of Negril beach. Staff and other visitors were all amazingly friendly. Bar area is small and fun, food is fair. The less enjoyable points: an uncomfortable room! We booked a premium room, but we noticed others that appeared nicer. Ours was ground floor of a 3-story building, although we requested an upstairs room. It was dark, musty, bed was lumpy with creaky springs. There was water damage on walls and deteriorating plaster. Some bugs at night, no screens just window slats. Gurgling toilet that had trouble flushing. So, medium priced but be prepared for a camp-like experience. To be fair, we were there for crummy weather, cool & rainy. We’re not very fussy yet it didn’t meet expectations.

The staff was welcoming like family we’ve never known. They knew our names from the beginning and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and welcome. The room was beautiful, charming and cozy. The beach wasn’t tons of chairs of packed tourists but a dozen of friendly tourists who would save chairs for each other or buy a Jamaican patty for another as one walked in. I would come again and again here!

We just returned from another trip to Country Country. I'm so glad we found this resort on the best part of the beach. The servers are great the the groundskeepers and housekeepers are the best! We stayed in a premium room and enjoyed the privacy of the upstairs room. We have already booked again for next year for what will be our 29th time to Jamaica.

These quaint & lovely rooms have excellent air conditioning, are sparklingly clean, offer delicious and varied breakfasts, the best drinks on the beach, & the most lush & lovely lounger spots on 7 mile beach! I can not say enough great things about Country Country. The manicured grounds of the hotel feel like a true tropical paradise. They even have their own security guard to keep undesirables from intruding on your beach time. The pool is fresh water & just that much cooler than the ocean for when you've had a bit too much sun. The staff are friendly, helpful, warm, & make these intimate cottages feel like your own private utopia. Why would anyone stay at an all inclusive when you could pay a fraction of the price to stay at Country Country?!?

Got off to a bad start when the taxi we had ordered via the hotel - we have email confirmation - did not turn up at Montego Bay airport as the Hotel had failed to order it! We informed the reception on arrival and barely got an apology from the three staff there. Bizarrely, the matter was never raised again by the Hotel. We had a premium room and never saw daylight from it as all the shutters are permanently closed as the property is very narrow so neighbours can look in. Food is pricey and poor. Twenty US dollars for jerk chicken - from frozen - and chips, for example. Lovely beach but peace is shattered by loud music from MargaritaVille close by. Also stay away from small pool area during school holidays as screaming kids play there 11am-6pm. Breakfast good, with standout server, Camille.
