Guesthouse

Negril and the West

Guesthouses vary in Jamaica from serious operations that register high occupancy levels throughout the year to more informal homestay arrangements like those available in the Windward Maroon stronghold of Moore Town. Guesthouses are defined by the on-site presence of the owners in either case, as opposed to hotels, which typically have different ownership and management.
