Great private and spacious Villa.
No dishwasher but the place comes with a personal Butler and a Chef, so yeah, it actually has a real nice dishwasher.
Very spacious and private for a perfect couples get away. Conveniently located in the middle of Negril and 7- mile beach.

What a magical place!
We stayed at Almond and Naysberry Villas and were well taken care of by the lovely staff, Jermaine, Otis and Miss Polly.
The Villas are gorgeous, right on the beach with plenty to do if you want to. The staff took care of all our needs and seamlessly arranged for all the activities we wanted to do.
Everyone was so friendly we felt right at home. We will be definitely be back!

Perfect family trip
Absolutely amazing time at the villas! Second time down for a family trip. The staff and grounds are perfect. You feel like you’re in your own piece of paradise. Our 4 and 6 year old boys enjoyed every second, and with a fully staffed villa, mom and dad actually got to relax as well!

Fantastic Property, Location and Service
Everything about the Idle Awhile Villas was first class....from the accommodations to the staff and the superb location on 7 mile beach. Everyone was very friendly, attentive and willing to go the extra mile to make your stay / experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible.
The location on 7 mile beach couldn't have been any better. When combined with the overall ambiance of the Idle Awhile Villas, it definitely was one of the best vacations we've had in several years.
