Also at the resort are a 24/7 fitness center, swim-up pool bar, and nightly entertainment.
Rounding out the list at Number 25 is the Negril Yoga Center, which features rustic rooms and cottages surrounding the open-air, wood-floored, thatch-roofed yoga facility. Guests have a choice of accommodations, ranging from a two-story Thai-style wood cabin to an adobe farmer cottage. Yogurt, cheese and sprouts are made on-site by staff, and yoga classes are offered to both guests and visitors. Also on offer: massages, free WiFi, and an on-call cook ready to prepare breakfast and vegetarian meals to the specifications of guests. The beach is just across the way and offers the natural beauty of the Caribbean Sea. Nearby are Kool Runnings Waterpark, Negril Aerodome, and the Times Square Mall.
