Charela Inn sits directly on Negril's Seven Mile Beach, on Norman Manley Boulevard in Negril, Jamaica. The property is set back more than 150 ft from the water, shaded by coconut trees, with the beach just steps from every room. ### Who owns Charela Inn? Charela Inn has been owned and run by the Grizzle family since 1980, when Sylvie and Daniel Grizzle bought what was then a ten-room inn. It is still a family business - Jamaican and French, which is why Le Vendôme serves both cuisines. Many of our staff have been with us for more than fifteen years, and much of what the kitchen serves comes from the family's own farm. For more detail, visit our [History](https://www.charelainn.com/history) page. ### Is Charela Inn all-inclusive? Charela Inn is a family-run beachfront hotel rather than an all-inclusive resort. Rooms are booked on a room-only basis with no resort fee, so you're free to eat at [Le Vendôme, our own restaurant](https://www.charelainn.com/restaurant), or explore Negril. If you'd prefer dining arranged, breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive plans can all be added when you book. ### Is Charela Inn wheelchair accessible? Yes. Our public areas are designed to accommodate guests with mobility needs, and we have three dedicated ground-floor accessible rooms. Let us know your requirements when booking and we'll make sure the right room is held for you. ### How many rooms does Charela Inn have? Charela Inn has 59 rooms. As a small, family-owned beachfront hotel, we took over Charela Inn in 1980 as a ten-room inn and have grown carefully since, adding [sea view rooms](https://www.charelainn.com/rooms/seaview), [garden rooms](https://www.charelainn.com/rooms/garden-view), [suites](https://www.charelainn.com/rooms/junior-suite) and [family units](https://www.charelainn.com/rooms/family-units) over four decades. ### What room types does Charela Inn offer?
