Award-winning cliffside boutique hotel with three resident Rhodesian Ridgebacks on Negril's West End

Accommodations

Tensing Pen Negril offers a collection of thatched-roof cottages, tree-house accommodations, and spacious villas perched directly on the cliffs. Each room has a private patio or balcony that overlooks the Caribbean Sea, with some featuring an outdoor shower. The property was named among the Top 10 Hotels in Jamaica by Forbes and has been recognized in Travel + Leisure's Top 25 Caribbean Resorts.

Dining

The on-site restaurant, The Lodge, is an open-air dining space that offers ocean views and specializes in Caribbean cuisine such as grilled lobster and jerk chicken. Guests receive a complimentary continental breakfast each morning that includes fresh fruit, banana bread baked on site, and Jamaican coffee. The bar serves hand-crafted drinks like the Dirty Banana, and the menu also features local seafood like snapper and shrimp.

Activities & Wellness

Guests can join daily seaside yoga classes or book a spa treatment including deep tissue massages, body wraps, and facials in the open-air spa pavilion. The resort offers snorkeling equipment and a paddleboard for guests to explore the coves, and lifeguards are on duty from 7 am to 7 pm. The outdoor swimming pool sits below the bar and dining area, with sun loungers and a view of the ocean.

Pet-Friendly Resort

Tensing Pen is a pet-friendly property that houses three Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs named Tensing, Obie, and Zuri, who freely mingle with guests. The resort's name itself is derived from these dogs, reflecting their central role in the hotel's character. Guests often interact with the dogs around the property, and the staff ensures they are well-behaved and gentle.
