Tensing Pen - Negril

The ocean view from our villa was amazing.

The breakfast was traditional with good choice of food! Location: the hotel was near to Jamaica and Tensing Pen as well as beach...

The rooms were air-conditioned and the bed was big.

Enjoyed swimming and snorkeling, and we even arranged a catamaran sunset cruise through guest services. The staff, and their awesome Rhodesian Ridgeback, Beezy, was the highlight. We loved our cozy cottage, perfect for chilling out at night while listening to the waves.

One minor downside was the limited breakfast options. They could expand the menu for more variety in the mornings.

Heaven on the cliffs

Spent 8 nights at the Pillar House and loved every minute! The vibe is super chill, perfect for sipping cocktails while watching the sunset. The free breakfast hit the spot every morning, and I recommend the dark 'n' stormy! A small note, sometimes the service was a bit slow, but definitely worth the view!

Sooo many things to complain about! First, the management never mentioned needing cash, what a surprise! Then, the 'vibrant' area had no food options at all. As for my expectations, a complimentary gesture woudl ve been nice instead of feeling like just another guest. I almost thought about leaving a good review, but just couldn't.

The honest truth about this

The ocean views are amazing, and the staff offer amazing service that sets this place apart! The food was consistently delicious, especially the jerk snapper and dark and stormy cocktail!

Be aware that the hotel lacks sandy beach access, and the breakfast options are rather basic. The absence of phones and televisions may not appeal to everyone.

a) Amazing ocean views, excellent personal service, relaxing environment

a) Limited breakfast options, no sandy beach access, some noise disturbance

The cottages were perfect for us, and we loved the garden setting. The staff were very good, and we even organized a snorkeling trip through guest services that the kids eagerly enjoyed!

My kids wished for a sandy beach nearby.

the snorkeling was aweome, and the clear waters were unbeatable. be ready for limited food choices.

be amazed by the warmth of the staff and the extraordinary grilled lobster that makes you feel at home

Tensing Pen is a gem! The staff is attentive. I loved spending my days lounging by the beautiful ocean, especially enjoying the grilled lobster!

The queen room with garden view was beautifully designed, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel impressed us. The personal service, especially with dishes like jerk lobster that we can't stop raving about.

the nearby bank was far and inconvenient.

The ocean views from my cottage were fine, especially at sunrise over the cliffs. Waking up to such beauty made mornings special. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the chance to unwind without feeling rushed. The massage with Giorgia felt rejuvenating. I highly recommend trying the 90-minute version. The jerk snapper for dinner was amazing, bursting with flavor. Staff were attentive. Be prepared with cash since there's no ATM nearby. That was a bit inconvenient. The breakfast options could use a bit more variety. I sometimes craved something more than the basic selections offered. I loved my stay, but those little details could enhance the experience further.

Tensing Pen is an really good place. The Pillar House where I stayed had fine ocean views right from the bed. The staff, and the massage with Giorgia was fabulous. Dinner was a highlight. The jerk snapper was a standout dish!

Cash is a must.

The private cottages with amazing ocean views feel like a sanctuary! The staff's warm, personal touch. Just a heads-up, be prepared with cash, as there are no ATMs nearby 🌴
