4.7 / 5.0(636 reviews)

What can I say this place is amazing, amazing , amazing. The food is awesome the staff is always on point and great you with a smile and the view, wow 100 out of 10. We have been coming here for years. We have stayed at the resort this is located in before however most of the times we are staying at an all inclusive and still chose every year to come for dinner. We always call or email before our trip and make reservations. Ivan's will send a driver to pick you up at your hotel and bring you back. We are always taken care of and just love the food. We loved our experience here. The pineapple snapper was the best bite I had my whole trip. We also really loved both shrimp appetizers, and the soup upon welcome was amazing. While we didn’t have a reservation (highly recommend one esp during peak season) they sat us at a beautiful table overlooking the water. Our server and the bartender were both friendly. The atmosphere is amazing, and as the sun sets they have lights strung throughout. The property welcomes you with a cute garden area you walk through and there is a small parking lot on site. Eating at Ivan’s was a wonderful experience! The staff made us feel well taken care of, and everyone was so kind. And the food? Absolutely delicious. The only downside was the wait time, so be prepared to wait a bit for your meal. But once the food arrives, the flavor makes it worth it. Special shoutout to Paul, who was especially pleasant and helpful. I’d definitely recommend Ivan’s to anyone visiting Negril!

The best place to eat in Negril!! My friend and I stayed at Catcha Falling Star and ate at Ivan's 3 times during our stay. The food was phenomenal every single time! All the servers were awesome! The view was extraordinary also!
