The Charela Inn is a great option two thirds the way up Seven Mile beach. Its location makes it fairly quite. If you are looking to party at night try somewhere closer to to the Negril township end of the beach.

I loved staying at the Charela Inn. The staff is welcoming and helpful. We ate many meals there and enjoyed each one. The food service on the beach is wonderful! The rooms could use to be updated. Old furniture drawers were difficult to open and close.

Property was great. The waitresses were friendly and attentive. House keeping was the best they clean my room on time and each time I go back to my room it feels like a new room. The life guard tyreek was very helpful great guy. Only person we dislike was the security on the beach . He doesn’t know how to talk to the guest plus he’s lazy with an attitude.

Great value and location. It is a small hotel and restaurant. on the beach. The staff are the best except for a few of the younger restaurant waitresses who spend too much time looking at their phones. Front disk staff great and very helpful. Our room housekeeper was wonderful. If we need to change while she was there never a problem. The guys at the beach were always helpful and anticipated your needs. Our room needed a shower update, several times the water flowed over the floor. it was a bad design. We needed more lights in the room there were two bedside and one in hall. We had a great ten day stay I would strongly recommend it.

This is by far the best option for proximity to the beach in Negril without the all inclusive ticket. It's a small Jamaican owned hotel with friendly staff and great food. We stayed in a Junior suite on the lower level that was about 20 steps away from the beach! You can see the famous 7 mile beach right from your bedroom and from the patio right out your room. They have shaded lounging on the beach which makes it convenient to sit out all day if needed. The staff will also serve you food right there if you don't want to leave the beach! There is also a pool if you want to switch it up. 10/10 experience for the traveler who isn't looking for a cookie cutter vacation experience. We didn't opt for the breakfast plan option, we paid each day for the meals. They have a wide range of meals from their a la carte menu and each night they may have a price fixed menu p/person as well. Just go. You will love it.

Stay here immediately

I cannot think of enough nice things to say about this resort. This was our first time to Negril & Jamaica in general and I had done an obscene amount of research for this trip. We switched hotels twice (Couples Swept away > Skylark> Charela) due to budgeting and to be honest I was nervous we were not going to be happy with Charela and it wasn't going to be nice or luxurious enough. I was humbled to say the least. While not the most luxurious or expensive hotel Ive ever stayed in there is something about its romantic, rustic vibe and charm that has made it one of my top favorites. The property is unbelievable- this stretch of beach is absolutely gorgeous, I'd wager that it is the prettiest stretch of beach in Negril. This place is so romantic. The staff was polite and efficient. There is the sweetest "family dog" named "Kush" that roams the property and beach and we were sad to leave. Our room was immaculately clean. We paid about $700 less per night than friends staying at CSA and our room was twice as large with a HUGE two person tub, a balcony overlooking the live music stage, and beach. The restaurant? 10 out of 10. The absolute BEST Fresh flaky croissants and ham and cheese omelets served to us each morning on the beach or brought to our room. Eating the most decadent Chicken Alfredo pasta while listening to the band and the waves crash just steps away is a core memory. I never thought I would MISS a hotel as much as I do right now.

Overall after seeing such great videos and history about this property it did not meet my expectations at all. The front of house manager did acknowledge my concerns during the trip which I am grateful for however even the upgraded room that I was given had a urine soiled bed, broken iron and broken toilet roll holder and in need of a general upgrade revamp. I was not wowed by the menu options and even received a plate of food that had sauce smeared all over the base. I can see why it would be highly rated for some as i did witness staff give good care to some travellers and there were some pleasant staff onsite. I picked this hotel as I wanted an authentic experience of Jamaica, often not given in the resorts but for me it was very regrettable. I could not even get fresh mint or lime for tea in the restaurant when feeling unwell.

Lovely quite basic inn on best beach in Jamaica!!

It's a lovely little gem of a hotel, not really 4*, basic amenities and limited food and beverage options. Same overpriced 'French??' restaurant menu for 2 weeks was bad, set a la carte at US$50pp every night terrible value.US$6 local Jamaican brand beer/stubby bottle too was crazy! Across the road,in the supermarket only $2!!! Staff friendly and very helpful, Nadine and Carolyn especially and a great trainee girl who printed off our return boarding passes!!! ✅ Overall nice place to relax, beautiful gardens, little pool and on the best beach in Jamaica for a fraction of the big name hotels,great USP!!! BAD : NO BLACKOUT CURTAINS!! This is what alarm clocks are made for!!! PLEASE ADD THEM !!!
