“Fixing an old landmark”
+The Blue Cave Castle went through a long period of closure due to it being in a contentious litigation. The original family now have it back and are working on opening it again for the next busy season. It had been neglected for a long time. There is a lot of work to do to get It open properly between now and then and when it’s ready to receive bookings I will post a link here with another review.

“The castle is closed for business”
+The castle is closed. They are no longer accepting guests. It is no longer a hotel. If you have not stayed here, you no longer have the opportunity. The castle is offiecailly closed. Susan won't be opening again. Nada, you missed your chance. Castle closed.

“Scam”
+Got a room next door to this blue castle. The blue castle is boarded up, doors covered up with bricks. Don't book a room unless you want to be scammed. Locals say the original owner passed away about 15 yrs ago don't know if that is true. But it definitely is closed.

“Out of business!”
+BEWARE!!! DANGER!!! This place is closed down and boarded up!!! We made a reservation AND PAID for it, got a confirmation number, too. When we arrived after being up for nearly 24 hours, we made the discovery that we had no place to stay. Luckily we found another lovely place just down the road (Begonia Cliff Hotel). U.timately we got a full refund through our credit card company. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!

“My stay was before 2021 but many times before.”
+I love the BCC and the owner Sue and everyone that works there. Sue is a very kind owner that would bring her employees lunch daily. The first few times there was a open kitchen for guest. And the last few times it was a small Cafe with a awesome cook and menu. They would serve you anywhere you'd like. Just a few minute walk there's a nice place with Original Jamaucan food and some street vendors with jerk chicken. So good. I believe I stayed there 7 times. The rooms are very clean. Yes they air dry the laundry. I do this at home and love the fresh smell. Did not have a ant problem. If you leave crumbs out.you will get ants anywhere. I've traveled to many countries and the Blue Cave.Castle is the only place where I never seen a cock roach. Snorkeling is the best. Going down the old pirate cave, under the castle is the most amazing thing Ive seen. I always got up before the sun and wanted coffee. The security guy would see I had it early. Ive seen dolphins jumping in front. So if you want a awesome adventure, this is the place and I want to go back very soon.

“Closed without warning March 2019”
+We had reservations, showed up and the place close the day before we got there. We had no warning and had to search for a place to stay for our week vacation. They gave us no help in finding someplace to stay and no refund of deposit. Terrible way to start a vacation.

“Quiet nice place”
+Very cool room in a castle hanging over the cliffs. Cool breezes , clean and quiet. No bar, music or restaurant . Didnt like the fact that I had to get the lifeguard to allow me to jumpin the water...safety format I know...but it was annoying...especially for a person born in the water...surfer, boater snorkeler, diver and great swimmer

“Traveled Jan 2016”
+Came here with my mother and daughter (she was 20 at the time) in a room with three beds. Room was average. Beautiful views, actually breathtaking. I could sit out there all day and look at the ocean. However, they had no umbrellas to shield you from the sun so I was baking, at times, using clothing to cover my neck and entire head. No restaurant, drinks or food on site. Great coffee and I'm normally not a coffee drinker. Lifeguard was nice and helpful. They also had a security guard and dog. Nice people. The castle is located in a quaint area with little eateries and bars close by. Didn't talk to the manager much. She never really interacted with guests. Did see her boyfriend a couple times telling the people working there what to do and stuff like that. He didn't say much either. My mom was a regular there and I guess a lot of the staff that all came to love, were let go. No air conditioning in our room. There may be air conditioning in other rooms; unsure. Our room was located by the stairs that leads to the lower area where you could go in the water to swim and snorkel. My mom loves it there. She tried to book a few times over the years, but didn't really get straight answers f
“Blue Cave Castle is breathtaking.”
+Blue Cave Castle is the most unique vacation property my wife and I ever stayed at. It is, after all, a castle. Stayed in the penthouse. Basically 3 floors of the building. Very few guests. Very private. Highest point in Negril. Unbelievable views. This is not a 5 star all inclusive resort. This is a private residence. No bar or restaurant. But the neighborhood is the real deal Jamaica.
