My husband and I looked for a place in Jamaica with a small crowd feel. We found nirvana, in Negril Jamaica along the seven mile beach. I read lots of reviews, 98% were good. We trusted what we read and we are glad we did. They have only 8 units, which we loved. Their staff is wonderful. The place is clean and very safe. Security in the front and back 24-7. Ther is plenty to do- or just do nothing! Our driver leon was waiting for us at the airport, wonderful guy and good sense of humor. He stopped at the store for us on the way there so we could get some red stripe beer... which by the way is good! I understand recently they got a very bad review from someone because they did'nt get a refund because of no tv or phone being in the units, and there are a couple units with no air, just ceiling fans. But it clearly states this on the web site if you fully read it. We had air in our sundeck II unit. Some friend we met while there had a unit without air but they said it was fine with the fans. So please don't believe the review that nirvana is a dump, thats simply not true. Count the good reviews and count the bad reviews, it speaks for it's self. If we go back to Jamaica we will stay here again without a doubt. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO BRING BUG SPRAY!!!!! ( By that i mean for mosqitos.. )

This place was amazing. From the view to the atmosphere, I had no worries or complaints the whole time. Everyone was so friendly, and really went out of their way to make everything pleasant. We really felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. They kept the place so beautiful with all the manicuring of the property to the cleaning of the villa. They always had someone at the gate and on the beach along with people who walked the property, if you ever needed anything or had any questions, someone was always eager to assist. I really enjoyed when the staff there cooked for us, it was very enjoyable to taste a Jamaican home cooked meal not in a restaurant setting, and it was delicious.
I can't wait to go back!

It was our first visit to Jamaica and the experience was everything we expected and more. Aaaaah!!
My family (my mom, 2 daughters, 1son-in-law and 3kids) went to Jamaica for my son's wedding and stayed at Nirvana chosen by a daughter. Overall our trip went well from the airport to the resort and back to the airport. The driver was very knowledgeable and was happy to make pointers about sites, things to do, to avoid and general safeguards. Excellent featured service that should be well noted on their website.
I was impressed with the resort's rustic setting, beautiful foliage, cottage-like designs, and the peacefulness I felt upon arrival. It felt homely, comfortable and cozy. I especially liked that Errol, the ground's watchman, came by greeted us, introduced himself and gave us a tour, overview of things and the staff duties/schedules. He was approachable, friendly yet professional. It was reassuring to know that we and our possession were safe by a patrolling watchman both at day and all through the night. Makes for a very restful mind at night and I DID sleep well every night!
we liked that we could ask the staff for specialty items and they would get it for us on time - like fresh squeezed orange juice, bananas, coconut water and other treats. I liked that the staff was friendly, took care of us and was readily available to assist with our needs. Their service, security coverage and privacy was/is worth the cost as a very important feature in a strange new land. It is simplicity through and through.
I also liked that the resort was nestled in between trees and had a private touch to it, that looking ‘in from the beach’, passers by could not readily see the patrons, but that I could sit in a hammock and watch the world go by. Definitely Shangri La at Nirvana!!
The staff is committed to making each patron's stay pleasant and boy, can those women cook!!!! Their cooking inspired us to go shopping for ingredients to try and duplicate that style of food, but we all wished they could just come to our house and cook every day!! th
It was heart warming to return after a day at the beach and find a clean room things put away and completely straightened up like new. It really felt like home where your mom took care of your needs. It was nice to take a rest of "being the cook", to be nurtured by someone else for a change - though there are really no vacations from being ‘a mom’. :) a vacation @ Nirvana is the exception!

Nirvana is AMAZING. The people are SO friendly. It is a 30 second walk from your bed to the beautiful beach, clear blue water and sun. The grounds are so well-maintained and people cook for you if you get the food. It is a short walk from many restaurants and activities. The only downside is no air conditioning in cottage #3. But honestly - it didn't bother me at all. It is a true deal and I highly recommend it!

Nirvana was in the perfect location that allowed us to get away from the typical resort-style vacation. By far the nicest beach and grounds we saw on our walks up and down the beach. The staff was very friendly, the room was spotless, and the information provided in the room was helpful. We didn't know what to expect and were a little nervous about being on our own in Negril but were pleasantly surprised with the whole trip. We will definitely be back (hopefully in the near future!) to Nirvana.
Tips: 1) Grocery store 10 minutes by taxi, but plenty of restaurants on beach. Try jerk stands on the roadside, especially The Best in the West, across the street, for the best grilled shrimp. 2) Bring bug spray for mosquitoes after sunset. 3) Bring a flashlight just in case. 4) Go the the West End/Cliffs and LTU Pub for a beautiful view and amazing food.

My husband and I stayed at Nirvana in Mid March this year. It was our 1st time to Jamiaca. I stumbled upon reviews and a website for Nirvana. I took a chance and booked our stay without any personal references. I could not have picked a better place to stay. Even walking the beaches I don't believe I could have stayed anywhere else and been as happy. We stayed in the Veranda Suite and fit our needs perfectly. All the staff was wonderful!!! Eveyone introduced themselves and were very friendly and helpful. to The landscape at Nirvana was perfectly manicured. Hats off to Moses and his crew.The security crew Errol, Shine & Nicardo were the best. The beach was wonderful. Errol put our chairs out every morning. The house keeping staff was in and out before you knew it. Leon our driver took us serveral places, He was great. There are bars and restaurants very close buy. We are not into big all inclusive resorts, if that is what you are looking for Nirvana is not for you. We really got to experience a true Jamiacan vacation. We walked the beaches. We were at Nirvana 8 days and felt we could have stayed there forever. There is so much to do and see we should have stayed longer. We will definately be back.

"Thank you for being so convincing last month when I inquired about Nirvana. You told me we would not be disappointed in any way, and we weren't! Your staff was wonderful, the drivers were great and the place was heaven. The two Veranda suites were perfect for two couples to be together while still having complete privacy to be alone when we wanted. We absolutely loved every minute. We spents hours and hours in the unimaginably calm, blue water, and my sister and I only had shoes on twice the whole time we were there! The guys golfed, and we snorkeled -- it was gorgeous. We loved walking down the beach to choose a place to eat and haggle with the happy Jamaicans selling their wares. Our husbands even had a chance to watch the British Open on the big screen t.v. at Marguaritaville while we shopped. We discovered that we loved jerk chicken and jerk pork, and we spent a couple of evenings dining at la Charela. It was wonderful.
Lynn, Bonnie and the rest of the staff were delightful. We couldn't have been happier with our stay and we plan on returning again and again and the only place we will stay will be Nirvana. Heaven on
earth! "

We have been to Nirvana the past two years, and are going again this March! We absolutely love the wonderful people, perfect location and comfortable charm of this beautiful resort. We have brought our teenage/young adult kids with us each time, and every year we have the time of our lives! Each morning our beach chairs are set out for us by the wonderful staff, and we are able to relax knowing that our belongings are safe while we are swimming. There are no hassles for Nirvana guests. We are able to enjoy the finest stretch of Negril's seven mile beach in complete comfort and security, with reef and snorkeling just a short swim off shore. The owners are so gracious and easy to access for information and assistance. The experience is always so memorable, we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else! TINA MIDWIFE

We spent Christmas there with our two sons(age 19 and 20).. It was their first time at Nirvana even though we have visited many times. I was worried they would miss the luxuries of the all inclusive resorts we have stayed at in the past throughout the Carribbean.But they loved Nirvana as much as we did. They enjoyed the peace and quiet of the place,the proximity to great restaurants and nightlife ,the attentive service of the ladies who cleaned our cabin and cooked a meal each day for us. They particularly enjoyed sitting around at night with Shine,the security guard as he kept a watchful eye on the place while taking the time to chat to them about his Jamaica.If you are looking for the plushest of towels and the latest kitchen amenities this may not be the place for you. But if you want to experience Jamaica in the company of kind,attentive workers in unique rustic,clean surroundings on the very best part of the 7 mile sandy beach this may in fact be the spot you will return to time and time again as we do.

Just finished our first trip to Jamaica and had the good fortune to spend it at Nirvana. We confess to having been suprised on our arrival to how 'busy' Nigril was but the care that has gone into the grounds, the unbelievable beach, and most importantly the staffs' quiet, always there to help in whatever way needed attitude made this a very special trip indeed. The owners here have taken great care to capture a flavor of 'old' Nigril in spite of the all-inclusive mega-resorts. We vacationed as an adult couple but Nirvana seem equally adaptable to young family enjoyment as well.
Highly recommended!

I just wanted to drop a note in regards to our stay at Nirvana. Our trip was everything we were hoping it would be and then some. For starters the photo’s on their homepage does very little to really show just how beautiful and well maintained the property is. Just from cruising up and down the beach it was clear that Nirvana had the nicest facilities on the beach. The grounds were so well maintained that it almost appeared that you were always the first person to walk on the sand.
While we were there stayed in the Sundeck Suite which provided us with a wide open wonderful view of the property and the beach immediately behind you. The interior of the room was about the size of a master bedroom with an adjoining kitchenette and nice sized closet for storage. The kitchenette was more than enough to allow us to cook the majority of our meals while visiting. The staff is no doubt the unsung heroes of our visit to Negril. The ladies always found a way to have your room and deck cleaned without once ever being seen. It really went a long way to instilling a sense of privacy. We also had the pleasure of having the ladies cook a lobster dinner for us which was no doubt the best meal I think we had. Buying your lobster directly from the local fisherman just makes it that much better. I want to make special mention of Errol and Moses who were the always there to see that our every need and comfort were taken care of. These two men were perhaps the two people we were in contact with the most and what great guys they are. No doubt we missed them within days of returning to Texas.
While wondering off the reservation some restaurants we visited and were most impressed by were the La Vendrome at Charela Inn and Best in the West. The Charela Inn while a bit pricey was absolutely terrific from the food to the ambiance. Very nice very romantic while still allowing you to wear beach attire. Most definitely worth a dinner. Another place we really enjoyed was Best in the West which was the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had. Much more a bargain than fast food in the states even with the Red Stripes. Another place we had lunch at regularly was the bar and grill right next door. The food was fine and the drink specials never seemed to end. If we had one less than exciting dining experience it was at the Ristorante Da Gino. Pricey and not even close in quality to what the ladies at Nirvana prepared for us.
