Xtabi on the Cliffs

We spent the day at Xtabi Resort in Negril and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! This beautiful cliffside spot offers everything you could want for a relaxing and adventurous day.||We started by exploring the caves—absolutely stunning—and then did some cliff jumping, which was thrilling yet safe. The sea was calm and crystal clear, perfect for a bit of snorkelling too.||A special shoutout to Georgette at the bar, who was so warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We spent some time sunbathing on the cliffs before enjoying a delicious lunch—the fish burgers and wings were amazing.||After lunch, we were kindly offered the use of the private pool, tucked away in a peaceful garden surrounded by fruit trees. We had the whole area to ourselves—pure bliss!||To finish off the perfect day, we headed back to the restaurant and watched the sunset over the ocean. Simply breathtaking.||Xtabi isn’t just a resort—it’s an experience. Highly recommend visiting, even just for the day. We’ll definitely be back!

We were at Xtabi in December, and decided to take our twin girls for a quick trip to celebrate their college graduations a week ago. They have a great two bedroom cottage by the pool, which we enjoyed. Everything was perfect as usual. The staff at Xtabi is fantastic. We really appreciate Michael and Paul, who are there to help us with anything we need. The office staff is great, and the restaurant has some of the best service in Negril. They also give you rolls and a cup of soup to start your meal, which is also rare in Negril. It is such a great location and value. We will continue to stay there every year until the boss man decides to kick me out. There is no way he would kick out my wife, because she is a goddess!!

I only came here for the cliffs and I was pleasantly surprised to find no one! The views are spectacular and you can access the cliffs/caves as long as you stay to buy a drink/food. It’s a great deal that you won’t find anywhere else in Negril in terms of affordability.

Amazing experience! Leslie, our server, was amazing! She had such great recommendations on the menu and was a kind, attentive, and friendly waitress! I highly recommend the crab cakes, fish escovitch, and the Jamaican chicken.

Beautiful, quiet place! Nice, clean rooms; beautiful garden, and restaurant/bar on the cliffs. Great for swimming, jumping, and hanging out. Loved the caves! Lots of restaurants and bars nearby within walking distance. About 4km walk to the white sand beach through Negril. Absolutely perfect for my solo getaway!

I love XTABI. I have never stayed there but always go to swim, eat and drink. Staff are always welcoming. Beautiful spot on the cliffs. Also, my favorite dinner spot.

I ordered the conch sandwich with fries. The food was fresh and had nice taste to eat. The customer service was great as well.

So here we are in one of the most sought-after areas of Jamaica known for its cliffs and beaches. With so many options of where to eat and what you do we found ourselves drawn to visit this restaurant after reading the reviews with guest photos, but was it as the reviews suggest? We were excited to see reasonable prices posted in the photo section of the review platform but were very discouraged shortly after showing up and comparing the actual updated real-time menus that were considerably more than the photos suggest, when I say more we are talking 50% more in most cases, so beware the current pricing is inline with most of the other local restaurants that are in my mind way to expensive for what you get food wise. Please don't hold your breath at any time while waiting for a server and or the food you've ordered unless you are practicing for the dives you will be taking shortly after. The physical attractions they have while visiting this cliff lovers oasis are top-notch, to say the least, as you can see in the photos I'll leave here. I'll have to say that all and all this is a great bang for your buck as they should really charge for an entry fee alone, and that's why they've received a 4 star rating from this vacationer.
