I really liked the chill vibe of this inn. It wasn't a luxury all inclusive but I wasn't looking for that. I was more like a retreat house with big comfy bedrooms and friendly staff. I especially liked the owner, Chris who was very accommodating when things go wrong. I loved the pool with it's swim up bar. The food was fantastic, especially the jerk chicken, chicken fingers and vanilla ice cream. I would stay here again.

It’s a hidden little gem in the westend of Negril, away from the beach hustle.

We (2 couples) stayed at the Seastar Inn in early April for 4 nights. First impressions were not stellar. We arrived on a Wednesday around dinner time and the owner was high as a kite. He showed us to our rooms but barely said 10 words to us. The safe in our room was broken and the other room didn’t even have a safe. We were woken up frequently at night by barking dogs and the roosters let us know it was morning. That being said, the beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. The AC worked well too. Daily maid service was provided. We used the pool daily, which was clean and refreshing. Most days, we had the pool to ourselves. The furniture surrounding the pool is very worn down, most of the chairs are broken. The hot tub was unusable, broken while we were there. The exterior of the resort, as a whole, could use a lot TLC. Fresh paint, flowers, and vegetation could really bring this place to the next level. We had dinner at The Seastar one night and everyone’s food was excellent. Breakfast, which was included, was consistently good. Cold Red Stripe was $3 USD or they have a bucket deal, 6 for $12 USD. The owner was able to get a sporting event on the TV for us to watch one evening at the bar. They do advertise themselves as a “sports bar”, but there is only one TV in that space. The location of this resort is what was attractive to us when booking. It was a five minute walk to Rick’s Cafe, Ivan’s, LTU Pub, etc. Definitely recommend the jerk chicken at Kool Vybes. 10

Pictures are misleading. Pool was great, food was awesome, room was big and comfy beds but sheets are so old and thin. Bathrooms are needing attention. Old ripped loungers at pool or broken chairs. It claims a sports pub but only one tv and no sports available. Junk just laying around, ripped and old fabric for shade around bar and pool the railings were all rusting and falling apart.. owners were nice but just had a no care for concerns or "it is what it is" attidute. Can see the possibility of a nice place if some TLC. people left after one stay as not what they perceived. People we met that had come years ago were shocked of conditions.

This property needs new management and a complete overhaul. The location os off West End Rd, which is not communicated on the listing. You have to turn off into a rundown community with unpaved roads to reach Seastar. There is not enough parking inside and the property can hold about 4 cars blocking each other. Now the property looks like it has not been properly maintained or updated in decades. The linen is old, the rooms smell like smoke, and the furniture and ammenties are falling a part. The pictures online are deceptive and may have been taken 20 years ago when this was built or renovated. This is not a good representation of Negril or Jamaica, it is an embarassment for the tourist industry. We booked 2 nights and decided to leave after 1 night, it was impossible to stay in such a dirty, smoky room. As a Jamican, this was the worst experience locally, I can't imagine tourists experience this. If you decide to stay in the beautiful Negril infamous for its sunset and white sand beaches, please try Ocean Cliff, Traveller's, Villa Sur Mer and all inclusive options of RIU, Azul, or Sandals. Please avoid this until they have renovated and fixed this property.

nothing compared to their website. The entire place can use an upgrade. Fresh paint job, Gardening and clean up, new fixtures etc., I did not stay I was very dissatisfied in the appearance. I could not manage my OCD self to stay. It had potential to be great again thou.

I am sorry you feel that way and yes we are going to repaint and refurbish this summer. You did not mention that your credit card was declined which I think may have something to do with your decision not to stay with us

I really enjoy the grounds. Many flowers and fruit trees. had more than one rooms so I was able to compare. Some of the rooms need a little more upkeep. The staff is very professional with a friendly attitude. They go the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable. Very reliable transportation service. Lovely owners.

First night our TV didn't work. The next morning we woke up to all our stuff soaked in water from the AC unit leaking. They said they'd check the filter. Next day they brought in another TV and set it up right below the AC... don't know why but ok. So the next day the AC had leaked all over the new TV and half the screen wasn't working. We went and told them. They said they'd figure out how to fix it... never did the whole time we were there. They said oh well the AC leaks at night if you use it. Ok well would have been nice to know before we had all our stuff under it the first night. There was dogs barking outside all night keeping us awake. Their pet doves outside my room never shut up. Roosters crowing all night. Cats fighting each other like lions at night. The place had so many ants inside. The tub leaked from the bottom on the floor so there must have been a crack in it somewhere. If thats the case think of the mold under the tub... the towel rack was wood but looked like it had black mold on it. The shower facet didn't work right. The bathtub faucet came flying off the wall when I started it. They had no microwave, silverware or any cups in the kitchen in our room. No shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom so don't expect that there the smoke detector had been taken off the wall. Wish we stayed somewhere else. Wasn't a option at that point. A heavy sleeper maybe it wouldn't be so bad but if your a light sleeper like me you'll be miserable.

Chris and Francine are wonderful caring hosts...the property is located less than a 5 min walk from Ricks café, very walkable location. The rooms were very clean ,spacious and cooled from the strong air con, strong wifi too! The whole experience was great, the owners make you feel at home and go above and beyond for their guests. Wish we stayed longer than 2 nights but will definitely stay here again when in Negril.

The property is off the main Road and a 7 min walk in. We had to ask for a taxi to collect us alternatively walk to the main where taxi frequent - if they come in or drop you off you pay more. The bathroom let down what is a clean 3 star accommodation lovely hot water but taps etc needs updating and finishing touches in the bathroom roughly finished. The staff were accommodating and helpful - beautiful environment to relax in - not sure if all the trees and plants surrounding the property made the atmosphere a bit damp in the room and the bedding was cold and had to be changed this just added a little discomfort - bedding was changed at our request however we still experienced uncomfortably damp like bedding. More like a 3 star than 3.5. I make this evaluation having stayed this year in 3 different hotels and accommodation across jamaica. Gave us all the additions to make our stay comfortable kettle - iron - ironing board - tea bags - good breakfast choice and free shuttle to the beach Thk you
