Coconut Grove Shopping Village

My 3 children and I arrived at the Somerville to find a boutique luxury resort with all of the amenities to make us feel right at home. Our private transportation was arranged by the resort (for fee) to comfortably transport us from Montego Bay to Negril. We were greeted with refreshing rum punches and lemonade. Check-in was smooth, prompt and professional. We were escorted to our suites to find 5 star accommodations. The Somerville matches any brand name 5 star resort in the quality of the rooms, property and exceptional hospitality. Each room had a beach theme, was meticulously clean and offered a refreshing environment for relaxation. Each suite had sitting area and table, as well as a modern bathroom. Outside there is a private sitting area for each suite. I enjoyed the quiet sounds of nature each morning. It was clear that we had found a hidden jewel in Negril's West End. The Sommerville is within 10 minutes or less walking distance to Negril's famous Rick's Cafe. We went twice to enjoy the music, entertainment and perfect sunsets. The resort rate included a full breakfast each morning, including eggs, bacon/sausage, pancakes or the traditional Jamaican ackee and saltfish. We went to the Negril 7 Mile Beach daily (10 min away) at Margueritaville and returned to our resort retreat, stopping daily at the bakery for fresh patties. We found dinner options within walking distance, Ivan’s Restaurant for cliffside dining. Without hesitation, the Somerville is a rare find!

TV not working, could not see news.

The limited parking options and the lack of an elevator are my only complaints; however, the resort staff and location are awesome.
