• The beach. If you come to Negril with young kids, you want to be on the beach. Negril’s Seven Mile Beach is about as kid-friendly as they come, and known as Jamaica’s best beach, with a long stretch of sand and calm clear waters. At Skylark, you’ll be steps from the water.
• The Food. Miss Lilly’s, the open-air beachfront restaurant at Skylark, got its start in New York City before returning to its Jamaican roots. You’ll find classic island cooking, including fish and meat straight off the grill, in a vibrant and brightly colored atmosphere, fun for parents and kids alike. The on-display jerk smokehouse and BBQ grilling station is the restaurant’s centerpiece. A classic kids’ menu is available if your little one isn’t feeling adventurous.
• The People. Skylark is a gem of a hotel, and it’s the staff that really makes it shine. Traveler reviews (confirmed by our own personal experience) highlight the personable and warm staff as the reason to stay here on all future trips to Jamaica.
• The Simplicity. Skylark is a simple, small beach hotel with tons of charm. Think colorful rooms, a hip vibe, Jamaican flavors, and easy access to the bars, restaurants, and activities on Negril’s epically chill beach.

You won’t find oversized suites here, or a pool. This hotel is best for families who don’t mind sharing space with the little ones for a few days, or who have kids old enough to stay in an adjoining room. Above all, it’s best for families who love a great beach, good food, and an authentic experience, and who just want to spend a few easy days playing in the sand and sea.
