This is a little family owned and operated hotel . Owner Winston Wellington and is 2 sons live on the property. It is the best place to stay on the 7 miles of beach. It is Jamaica, not an all inclusive resort. The staff is very friendly and will help with anything. Resturant on site and a wonderful pool. XXX and XXX are on site as drivers to take you to any place in Jamaica. You will know the true life of Jamaica when you leave. This is a wonderful small hotel safe for solo travelers,.male or female.. Security is around the clock. I have been staying in one of the bungalows for 10 years as well as many of my repeat friends. You can also get involved with the school project nonprofit NEET operated by Winston for the education of Jamaican children.

Let's start with the unfriendly and unhelpful staff, they do not know the answers to anything you ask them. Exception was the friendly security guys. So when we first arrived they said that our room was not ready yet. Little did we know that there was no room because they overbooked us. Two hours later, they ended up sending us for one night to an even cheaper hotel that was not even on the beach. So next day we got our "upgraded" room that had very lumpy pillows, dirty drinking glasses that were not changed from the previous guests, no blanket on the beds, no towels(you'll be lucky if you get any during your stay), a very dirty bathtub and a centipede in the drawer. The food is barely edible. You should ask what of there menu items they do have because half of the things on the menu they do not have. Important, they will try to rip you off! Make sure that you know the exchange rate and try to pay exact amount, if at all possible. They will charge you a different price everytime. Overall, we did not feel welcomed. Also, don't expect something because you kindly ask for, like towels, because it will take them until the last day to get them to you.

Although I've been to Negril three times in the past, this is the first time that I've stayed at Travellers. While it's not a 5-star hotel you also don't have to put up with snotty attitude. the bungalos are spacious, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only complaint that I have about this place is that the timing of the maid service is very inconsistant, my first day the maid was just finishing up at 4:30 in the afternoon (which is ok by me) the next day she was ther at 9:00 in the morning (I didn't get in until 5). not a big complaint and I would definitaly stay here again. $50.00 a night and far enough down the beach that the Spring Breakers didn't bother me. But close enough to everything that I could walk where I wanted to.

This was our second trip to jamaica this year. December was a Christmas surprise for me, our first time at Travele's and what a wonderful time we had. We have visited Jamaica for seven years in a row this was our 8 visit and our first time staying at Travelers and it was wonderful. We have always eaten at Traveler's and had made friends there but we will stay there again. Service was great, the salon was perfect for me and my husband, food was outstanding, security prompt and just. Couldn't ask for more. We will visit again.

I had really nice time here after a really bad experience at another much pricier resort. (I will never stay at G.L. again) The room is spare but did include a kitchenette, got extra towels right away when I asked for them, and everything was kept very clean. Staff was friendly and the beach security kept people (men) from bothering me when I was alone so I could relax and read. Billie in the Salon was fantastic and very kind. They even had good wireless Internet if you brought a laptop.
I did have a mosquito problem in my room, but that was handled with a Vapox plugin device I got at the market, shower temp was unpredictable, and I would say my chief concern was room security because my room had no deadbolt and was right near the back gate which was unlocked all day while they did construction so I was concerned for my safety and that of anything left in the room, although nothing happened while I was there. There was no safe in the room. Restaraunt food was so-so. It's convenient, but cheaper and better can be had within a short distance. Overall I enjoyed myself and the price is right to stay right on 7 mile. I'll definitely be back!
