Citronella was everything I had envisioned based on my internet research and more. We stayed in the Cave House, and within the first minutes of being on the property we agreed this would be a yearly ritual. First, there's the beautiful property itself. Words and pictures do not do justice to the experience of standing on your PRIVATE front porch... More

I wasn't quite sure what to expect even though I looked at the website and the pictures thoroughly . What I found though exceeded all my expectations. The spectacular views, the sound of the ocean on the cliffs, the sunsets and the moon rising all made this the most natural and relaxing few days I could imagine . The cliff... More

It is hard to explain how AWESOME the experience was staying at Citronella, but I will try my best. It was my first time leaving the states so I had no idea of what I was in for. Just getting off the plane and taking a cab to Negril was a life experience. I met the coolest cab driver Nai,... More

I just returned from a 8 night stay at the Cove House, three days of which I was by myself and the next five days with a good friend and it was a perfect vacation. After a day or two my mind slowed down and I was able to relax. I thought I would not like being alone since I... More

Our family of 5 just got back from our stay at Citronella. Let me say that pictures cannot do this place justice. The location is excellent, and the way that the resort is laid out gave us much desired privacy. While this is not a "fancy" resort, it is one of the most relaxing and comfortable places we have ever... More

Stayed at Citronella with a group of friends and had a very relaxing time. Citronella is perfect if you want to get away and not have to deal with a "tourist"-type vacation ambient. It's a good place to disappear to and escape the ongoings of the outside world. I stayed in the Cove House and the view is so beautiful... More

Our Citronella experience was so much more than my husband and I had expected! The relaxed ambiance of this place just takes your breath away. It is an extremely private establishment. The staff members were great, very helpful and pleasant. I had a chance to meet the owners of Citronella, Cathy, John and their talented son, Adrian. I don't think... More

Thank you Citronella for yet another amazing experience! I have been staying with you since the 80"s, and I am more in love with this beautiful place every time.
