“One amazing place to eat, but the food doesn't live up to the setting.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW via mobile

Since we actually stayed at the Spa Retreat, it was convenient for us to eat at the Blue Mahoe. No doubt, the setting is gorgeous. The place is relatively quiet and so perfect for a romantic dinner or even a small intimate group. The service, like most places in Jamaica, was friendly. Unfortunately, we found the food to be average... More

“Great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012

We had a terrific meal. The curried goat was the best I've ever had! The owners were very nice, came over and chatted a while. The setting is beautiful and we'll probably end up staying here next year.

We tried to go to Blue Mahoe on Tuesday night, but were told that they were closed due to weather...it was beautiful outside, so we didn't understand. We tried again Wednesday night, and they were open. What we were told was that their seawall is too low, and since the waves had been pretty nasty, the water had been everywhere.... More

“Simply great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2012

The ambience is simply amazing! The idea of using the national tree's wood is great and says much of Jamaica's beauty.

Thank you for review of Blue Mahoe Restaurant! The SPA Retreat strives to use natural resources found on the tropical island of Jamaica whenever possible. By incorporating organic foods, Blue Mahoe wood detailing, cut stone and thatch roofs we aim to create an authentic Jamaican vibe from the moment you arrive!

Visiting a new restaurant is always a gamble, but this was such a wonderful experience. A group of us enjoyed the beautiful ambience of the surroundings and very impressed with the friendly welcome we received. The pumpkin soup, the giant coconut shrimp and the red snapper fish in coconut sauce was the best meal we had in all of Negril.... More

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2012

what a beautiful place to enjoy dinner and the sun setting in the sky. Highly recommend the Lobster Linguini - it was top shelf. And the house wine was not half-bad! Portions are very good and presentation perfect. Service was a bit slow, but it's Jamaica and service is always slow. Who cares? Enjoy the view and chill.
