  Un hotel increíble, el restaurante era muy pobre

  Mi esposa y yo pasamos 5 noches en el Xtabi y volveremos tan pronto como podamos. Nos alojamos en la casita 4. La relación calidad-precio ha sido la mejor que hemos tenido hasta el momento. Teníamos unas clarísimas vistas del océano y un balconcito privado para disfrutar de nuestra mutua compañía. Si necesitas viajar a alguna parte durante tu estancia, pregunta por Kingsley. Hizo que nuestro viaje fuese mucho mejor y se preocupó de verdad por que entendiésemos mejor la cultura jamaicana. Sus tarifas eran siempre las mejores y cuando vio que no podía ofrecernos alojamiento en un viaje que teníamos previsto a las cataratas de Mayfield se ocupó de buscarnos por el mismo precio un conductor. Champion estuvo sensacional y era tan paciente como Kingsley. Andrew era el responsable de las actividades y de lo relacionado con el submarinismo. Era un auténtico experto. Estuvo sensacional y también se ocupó de que una chica viniese al complejo para trenzar el cabello de mi esposa. Es inconfundible, lo distinguirás por su aspecto musculoso, no tiene ni un gramo de grasa. El personal fue fantástico en general, me apenó escuchar que varias personas comentaban que el Xtabi estaba en venta. Espero que no cambie demasiado... Excepto el restaurante. No le quité puntos al bar/restaurante porque hay una categoría específica en la que hacerlo. Las porciones de comida eran minúsculas, para tratarse de un sitio "de categoría", el menú era muy poco imaginativo. La comida no estaba cocinada adecuadamente, pero el servicio fue sensacional. Me di cuenta de que los camareros de barra preparaban las copas sin alcohol y después le ponían ron a la pajita. De este modo se tiene la impresión de que se está bebiendo una copa cargada cuando en realidad lo que se obtiene es una cuarta parte del alcohol que pagas. Para ser justos, a excepción del Sun Beach en la playa Seven Mile, en ningún lugar las preparaban correctamente. Sugeriría el Three Dives para cenar, el Slips and Bites para comer y el Just Natural para desayunar. Se puede llegar a pie a todos ellos desde el Xtabi y además tienen unos precios muy razonables. Para tomar una copa mi esposa y yo nos íbamos a la playa de Seven Mile y nos la tomábamos en Sun Beach. Dennis the Menace es un barman estupendo. Mi esposa y yo nos sentimos como cuando nos hicimos novios y le damos a Xtabi todo el mérito.

  Eat here, snorkel here, DO NOT ROOM HERE

  The food and snorkeling here are excellent. However, do not stay here, there are far better options for the same price. They do have a number of return guests, and after staying at Westenders, I am puzzled why anyone would return to Xtabi. We rented room #17 which had a leaking AC. I woke up in the middle of the night to a flooded floor and after using up the available towels to try and mop up, I had to place the trash can under the AC to catch the water. It filled up to 3 inches from the top by morning. The sound also kept us up for most of the night. Although someone did check it out on day 2, they said couldn't identify the issue. The room smelled strongly of mold, so obviously not a new issue. We opted to check out after three nights of this. We were offered different accommodations, but at this point we had lost faith. The front desk first checked to see if we had a restaurant bill, we didn't, then told us we were free to go. We had paid for NINE days! We simply wanted to pay for the time we had been there and leave. We didn't even ask for a refund for the flooding room. It was to no avail. The front desk person (there are two, and one of them is just wonderful) stated that they don't give refunds. We had to argue our point at length while other staff members filed in to see what was up, and one guy (I suppose their strong man) came to take a seat cross-armed in office for some reason... Eventually, they located the registration document that states that they refund but keep 3 days rent. SO LYING IS AN OPTION. We got it down to two days. So we not only paid for a room that clearly wasn't fit for guests, had a moldy smell evidencing it wasn't a new problem, but also paid for the night we left and one more day. DON'T STAY HERE. LEAVING WAS THE BEST VACATION DECISION WE MADE!!

  jamaica is great

  of all the islands, Jamaica is the best. I have been staying on the cliffs for 35 years and Xtabi was one I stayed in years ago. It's convenient for getting up and down the road, getting over to Ricks. Staff work hard, and the area is just great

  Rustic paradise

  Weve been to Xtabi three times. In 2006, 2008 and 2020. Weve stayed in the two bedroom suite (24), cottage 1 and 21. Cottage 1 is on the sea side and highly recommended - outside of the rainy season. 24 is nice and spacious with a proper oven and stove, really nice for cooking your own meals!! 21 is in the garden and a bit set back. This cottage is really cute if you like being tucked away. Beware mosquitos are fierce during the rainy season, bring bug spray. You can expect more rustic accommodations at Xtabi, however the heart of this place is the people. We love the housekeeping staff and reception staff: Novine, Cherie and Charmaine. They really made sure we were taken care of. The towels and sheets could use an update. Perhaps a coat of fresh paint in the place too. Omar, the bar tender and creator of dirty bananas (an amazing rum drink), is your go to for anything you need such as ganj or edibles. Hes young, fun and has a great way about him. George is another bartender we absolutely love. Lively and energetic George can make anyone smile. Hes sweet as pie! Lily was the Manager on-site while we were there and made sure we were comfortable. She also knew about all the hotspots and delish places to eat which was great since we had not been there in soooo long. Lily truely was an incredible delight and we are so happy to have met her. Xtabi has awesome drinks, great food, fabulous views, the best people, and is perfect for those that like more down to earth accommodations and can go with the flow. We hope Xtabi survives all of this Covid mess and that it gets the love it needs in the areas that need a bit of fixing. Xtabi also has a pool which is great for lazy days or evening swims. Nothing better than the stunning sea when its calm tho!!
