It's a beautifully decorated property on one of the West End's most gorgeous stretches of cliffs. Four one- and two-bedroom cottages adorn the cliffs with cozy furniture and an artsy, rustic vibe. Beds have foam mattresses. A live band performs classic reggae covers every evening from Rick's Cafe next door, for an earful of music to set the mood for sunset.
Chippewa Village
Chippewa Village is a rustic assortment of seven cottages on the morass side of Norman Manley Boulevard tastefully decorated in a Sioux motif. Owner John Babcook is a leather designer whose great-grandfather Red Shirt was chief of the Dakota Sioux and represented his nation at the 1906 World's Fair. Trails cut a quarter mile into the morass lead to a 16-foot viewing platform that affords a breathtaking 360-degree view of Negril, the morass, and the surrounding hills.
