The Caves All Inclusive, Jamaica
Lighthouse Rd
West End
Negril,
Jamaica
Secluded on cliffs south of Negril's beach-resort areas, this open-air resort in Jamaica accepts no more than 24 guests (minimum age 16) and offers access to the sea via cliffside paths and jumping-off spots.
One of the Island Outpost resorts developed by Chris Blackwell—music (Island Records), movie, and hotel entrepreneur—the casual Caves All-Inclusive resort attracts an international clientele, including celebrities, by providing seclusion for guests (who must be age 16 or older). Self-serve bars, no-menu meals (servers describe daily choices), and sea-view, open-air nooks create the resort's intended home-like ambience.
Paths lead down cliffs to ladders that drop into the Caribbean Sea. Guests can also leap into the sea from heights ranging from 4.5m (15 ft) to 7.5m (26 ft). Two caves carved into the cliffs and coral near the cliffs offer exploration/snorkeling opportunities. Sunbathing areas have cushioned lounge chairs. Positioned on a clifftop platform are a 6-m (20-ft) saltwater pool and a spa tub, a sauna for two, and a jetted-tub room for four.
Sunsets at Rick's Café 300m (328 yds) north of the resort are a Negril tradition. People jump off 15m (50-ft) cliffs into the Caribbean Sea, and a band plays reggae for dancing.

Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Jamaica
John Pringle Drive, P. O. Box 64,
Montego Bay, Jamaica, West Indies
Reservations & Information: 1(800) 972-2159
Tel (876) 956-7050, Fax (876)956-7505
Begun in 1953 as a collection of villas on a 110-acre pineapple/allspice/coconut plantation, Round Hill Hotel and Villas has long served socialites and celebrities. Villa owners have included writer/producer Noel Coward, Viscount and Viscountess Rothermere, and, currently, designer Ralph Lauren. Accustomed to opulence, owners come here for the restful rusticity, which also attracts celebrity and non-celebrity couples and families.
A large pool overlooks a little bay lapping a private beach. A smaller pool lies within a five-hectare (10-acre), adults-only spa-and-fitness retreat, which is accessible by a path along the bay. The resort provides complimentary snorkeling and glass-bottom-boat tours. Water skiing, scuba diving, fishing and a 15.5-meter (51-ft) crewed catamaran are available for surcharges.
Along a winding, seaside path between the main resort and the spa retreat lies a limestone cliff pocked by shallow caves, which guests decorate with white stones plucked from the shore.
