I was in Negril for a week in early March and chose this place based on location (Seven Mile Beach - which is really only a bit more than 4 miles) and, Expedia pricing and reviewer rating (more on that later). When I booked on Expedia, the name used was Moon Rooms. After I had booked, I proceeded to do a bit more research and couldn’t find anything on Moon Rooms. It was only when I read the Expedia reviews in detail that the name Moonrise came up. And the reports were generally glowing. Moonrise Villas is adjacent to the Harley Davidson Jamaica shop and across the street from Charela Inn, both of which Google Maps knows about. The hotel is owned by Linda and she is generally on-site. The hotel has no front desk service so you should call to arrange for a key when you arrive. My room (#204) was air-conditioned, clean and spacious. It was on the south side of the building and was bright during the daytime. The bathroom has a tub/shower and the bathroom is quite large for a hotel. The stairs going up to the second floor have a rise of about one inch more than I am used to – not too bad going up, but bone-jarring coming down. There is great TV service for those who need to keep in touch with what is going on back home. I walked into town almost every day I was here and it took about 40 minutes to reach the HiLo Supermarket. The area appeared to be safe. The hustlers from 30 years ago when I was last here have moved on.

It's actually called Sunrise Villa - a room to sleep in, no service.
