We just returned from our second stay at Catcha. I guess I forgot to write a review the first time, we literally left the day before Covid closed everything March 2020. We swore that we’d return and decided to spend Thanksgiving week here.
First time, we stayed in Coral, this time we stayed above it in Sky. I actually liked Sky better, it has an unobstructed view of the grounds, ocean and is completely private. We love the huge deck in the tops of the trees, sounds of doves and distant roosters fill the morning air. It is so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. It is not, however, stuffy in any way. We made friends with staff and guests. We enjoyed being greeted by the resident dogs, watching the party boats sail into Rick’s while taking in the most beautiful sunsets in the world over the turquoise waters.
We have strolled pretty far down West End road, which is a hoot. For those not inclined, there are always taxis ready. You must experience the many restaurants in West End, meeting and supporting the locals, but it’s really tough not eating at Ivan’s daily. The food is amazing. They have a new chef, we enjoyed meeting him! The menu is the best in Negril, imo, and even small details are perfect. There were several birthday parties and groups during the evenings; it was obvious that locals come here for special meals.
A dilemma for some is whether to try different hotels/experiences in a place you love. It’s going to be nearly impossible to do that, Catch will forever call me back, holding a very special place in my heart. Thanks to the best staff for a perfect week!
