Charela Inn has an on-site restaurant that has been central to the property since it was built in 1983, predating the hotel's expansion to 59 rooms.
Charela Inn guests can swim in the Caribbean Sea directly from the property's private beach, snorkel among reef fish, and explore the hotel's lush tropical gardens featuring mango, coconut, palm and breadfruit trees. Charela Inn encourages guests to forage lemongrass, oregano and herbs from the garden, and staff share knowledge of local herbal teas and remedies including soursop leaf and aloe vera for sunburn and healing.
Charela Inn is not fully off-grid but actively reduces reliance on the national grid through solar panels that power the kitchen, freezers and heavy motors across one side of the building, supplemented by a gas system during cloudy periods. Charela Inn collects rainwater via gutters into a 38,000-gallon tank, which is then processed through a water softener and purification filter system. Charela Inn uses this filtered rainwater as drinking water for guests from the tap and prioritises it for laundry, as rainwater is more effective than treated mains water for that purpose. Charela Inn draws on mains water as a supplement during periods of low rainfall.

About Charela Inn
Owner · Daniel Grizzle
Where Charela Inn isn’t perfect
Charela is a family inn: no shows, no 24-hour dining, no resort hype. If that's the trip you want, this isn't it.
The inn sits on Norman Manley Blvd: town is close by. It's solar-powered, not a wilderness retreat.
The farm was rebuilt after Hurricane Melissa: the rooms are fine, but beach days aren't guaranteed in a storm window. Members get quiet-week alerts that dodge this.
Negril's energy is down the road. Charela itself is an early-evening, beach-sunset kind of place.
