I booked Catcha for my 22 y.o. daughter and myself because of the wonderful reviews, and our experience surpassed expectations!! We wanted a small, friendly resort with a true Jamaican personality, and we got it with Catcha. The staff go out of their way to make you feel like family. We enjoyed talking with everyone from servers at Ivan's to front office staff to housekeeping and grounds folks. They took a genuine interest in us. I mentioned Ivan's...we ate there frequently during our stay and the food was always delicious! We always got a great table for dinner to watch the beautiful sunsets. We stayed in Aquarius which was spacious and comfortable. We loved the kitchen with full fridge which we stocked with our yummy Ivan's leftovers. We both slept very well thanks to the comfy beds and cold AC units. I lived on the balcony in the mornings and evenings. The view really is amazing. We loved the peace of the West End cliffs and how at home we felt at Catcha. We have already recommended to friends and on Negril travel group pages. Stay here. You'll be glad you did!

A quick preface prior to my review... My wife and I have been traveling to Jamaica for 33 years, but didn't make it to Negril until 18 years ago. Since that time, 90% of our stays in Negril have been at cliffside resorts. We've stayed at a handful of other cliff resorts over the years, just to break things up, but we ALWAYS return to Catcha Falling Star. Why? Because we usually end up saying "we should've stayed at Catcha" LOL. This review is on our recent, 12th stay there. By comparison, we have stayed at 4 other cliff resorts for a total of 6 times. Catcha has been our "go-to" hangout, and for good reason. Let's start with the... Views: Spectacular! 180 degrees of Caribbean Sea from any number "perches" to relax from. The infinity pool is fairly small, but cozy, with a calming waterfall of water coming from the walkway/bridge just above it. We've never had the pool feel "crowded". Although we typically stay in the low season, there are only 17 rooms and plenty of loungers around or near the pool...some tucked away in more private spots. All with terrific views of the sea. We nearly always spot dolphins during our stay. If you like to snorkel, and the water is permitting (i.e. not too rough), the visibility is great. The lifeguard, Kevin, is a great addition to the staff. We always see him greet new arrivals coming down to the pool area for their first time. Food: Ivan's is (fortunately for guests) the onsite restaurant. The food is just terrific and the prices are very reasonable. All seats offer a view of the sea, some spectacular! Or if you prefer, meals can be brought to your room. Sometimes it's fun to eat on your veranda. On this trip we stayed 9 days and we ate all of our meals on site. Room: We've stayed in most of the rooms over the years and each one has something fun and unique to offer. We often stay in one of the one bedroom suites just because, for us, it's just nice to have a bedroom separated from the living room/kitchen dining area. It just depends on what experience you are looking for. Keep in mind that these rooms aren't the Hilton with satin sheets. They are well maintained, clean and nicely appointed rooms and we love them! Staff: From the initial greeting of a huge welcoming smile from Isis at check in, to seeing the smiling faces of girls like Ordia (serving breakfast at Ivan's for many years), and Carol (same, but now for dinner) and all of the staff that you may come across on a typical day...they really are top notch! I have to give a special shout out to Cassandra, who keeps everything running smoothly. Overall: If you just want a great place to come and chill, this is it. It's a much different vibe than the all-inclusive beach experience. But for us, Catcha wins hands down, over and over. The prices have stayed reasonable and the changes that they have made to the property over the last 17 years are very chic and beautiful. Bravo Catcha! Keith and Kathy will see you again next year!

Beautiful cabins on the cliffs of the West End in Negril. I have been visiting Catcha for nearly 20 years and the charm and setting of this place are outstanding. Ivan's Restaurant is amazing. The resort is gated with 24 hour security an we have never encouintered a situation where we felt unsafe. The views of the ocean are beyond words. Book a stay at Cathcha and you will be back!

Exceeded all expectations! Catcha Falling Star is an amazing place on the West End (cliff side) of Negril. If you're not looking for the beach experience, but still want to the water - come here! You won't be disappointed. The grounds and accomodations are stunning and great value for price. I've stayed at Rockhouse and thought nothing could top it - I was wrong. Plus it was more affordable! It's just 2 min from Rick's cafe if you want some entertainment, otherwise enjoy the relaxing vibes of the pool or cliff side coves. The restaurant - Ivan's - was so good that we never went anywhere else to eat. Everything from breakfast, to lunch to dinner was so tasty. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back.

I enjoyed my time here place was very nice and clean very relaxing and the most beautiful view I would highly recommend you visit here it’s a breathe of fresh air , it was our first time and we will definitely be visiting again soon see you there ❤️

We had a wonderful time! This is the best hotel we stayed in during our trip to Jamaica. The bar is cool, the pool is beautiful and so relaxing. There's plenty of access to the sea, and the view is incredible. There are even inflatable buoys available for the pool and the sea. You can jump off the rocks into the turquoise water or chill out on deckchairs hidden in lots of little corners (for extra peace and quiet). And the staff are super nice, so THANK YOU!

This place is the LOUDEST place to stay ever. Resident, Ivan's Bar, the next door Rick's Bar, and the 12 packed screaming tourist boats coming every afternoon are super loud from 3 PM till 9+ PM every day. Each has their own DJ and shouting "music" turned up to 11 +. HUGE disturbance suitable for kids only! Ivan's is on the grounds, but the disaster of the next door Rick's Bar and the crowd it attracts are not to be believed. making that much racket right at a resort with overnight guests is appalling.

Catcha Falling Star never disappoints! Outstanding time! Went for our anniversary and had the best time! Service is wonderful, warm water and gorgeous sunsets! Located in the best area of Jamaica. Highly recommend. Our second time here and will definitely be back.

We have a favorite waitress (Carol) but the entire staff here is lovely. The grounds are beautiful, their swim area is inviting surrounded by lots of shaded seating. Food here is not to be overlooked, many Negril aficionados think Ivan’s may be the best in Negril. I started coming to Negril in ‘98, the last two and the next time (April 2024) I’ve stayed at “Catcha”. One of favorites thing to do is get up in the morning, head to the restaurant, get a table over looking ocean and just relax over a long breakfast. Go before nine and you’ll be guaranteed to privacy (in the spring - maybe not in the busy season).
