Hacienda-style beachfront inn on Negril's Seven Mile Beach
Dining
Le Vendôme restaurant serves a daily-changing five-course gourmet menu that blends Jamaican and French cuisine. The on-site farm supplies fresh vegetables, beef, and pork directly to the kitchen, allowing dishes like escargot and canard à l'orange to be made with locally sourced ingredients. Freshly baked croissants are available several times a week, and the restaurant accommodates vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets.
Beachfront & Grounds
Charela Inn sits directly on Seven Mile Beach with a private beach area shaded by coconut and palm trees; beach attendants rake the sand and set up loungers each morning. The tropical garden courtyard contains an outdoor swimming pool with a view of the sea, plus sun loungers and pool towels. Live music and evening entertainment are held on the property twice a week, and a beachfront massage studio run by therapist Sandra offers reflexology and other treatments.
Accommodations
All rooms have a private balcony or patio, and many offer sea views through the palm trees. Deluxe Sea View rooms include a whirlpool tub, while family rooms feature a separate bunk-bed area for children with an adjoining bathroom. The hotel provides complimentary room upgrades when available and charges no resort fees.
Services & Entertainment
A paid shuttle service connects the hotel to Sangster International Airport, 76 km away, and local attractions such as Rick's Cafe and Negril Lighthouse. Evening entertainment includes a live band on Thursdays and Saturdays, and a weekly cocktail party hosted by the owner. Guests can use the on-site billiards table or book currency exchange and daily housekeeping at the front desk.
Family-Friendly
Interconnected rooms and family rooms with bunk beds allow larger groups to stay together, and the hotel provides babysitting and child services upon request. The shallow end of the swimming pool and the calm, gently sloping sea make it safe for children to swim. The restaurant offers a children's menu and can heat up leftovers for young guests.
Highlights
Location: Directly on Seven Mile Beach with private beach access
Dining: Five-course gourmet menus with farm-to-table ingredients
Rooms: Sea-view rooms with whirlpool tubs and private balconies

“The hacienda-style design cultivates an intimate setting near Negril's celebrated Seven Mile Beach; moreover, the personalized service, especially from long-tenured staff, stands out. Its on-site restaurant, Le Vendôme, presents a mix of Jamaican and French cuisine, a distinctive culinary experience enhanced by fresh ingredients from the property's own farm. A tranquil escape from larger resorts.”
