Tingalaya's Retreat

It is the perfect place to unwind and relax. The staff incredibly friendly and warm, the ground are beautiful, water views stunning and sunsets amazing!

Hier kann man sich nur wohl fühlen, nur Ruhe und Natur pur bei sehr freundlichen Menschen. Das Frühstück war hervorragend.

The easiest (and only?) full marks review of my life: this a real pearl among hotels

Hervorragende Unterkunft! Die pure Entspannung mit super freundlichem Personal. Hatten dieses Mal das große sea Grape cottage - ein wahrer Traum! Absolute Empfehlung!

Das Tingalaya‘s Retreat ist eine 10/10 Empfehlung, da das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unsere Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Wer einen wirklichen Rückzugsort sucht, sich sicher und geborgen fühlen möchte, ist im Tingalaya‘s genau richtig. Meine Freundin und ich ändern unseren Roadtrip, um ein zweites Mal einzuchecken und fahren für das Tingalaya‘s quer durch ganz Jamaika. Es gibt kostenloses Wasser, Eiswürfel, freien Zugang zur komplett ausgestatteten Küche, vollumfanglichen Das

This is a remarkable place close enough to Negril but located in the forested, quiet area of West End. The properly is beautiful, the staff are pleasant and attentive and the private beach is like something I have never seen before. Having a car is almost required (mind the potholes) but once there, the place really is a retreat!

Tingalayas has always been my top pick for a place to stay in Negril. It's a quiet retreat with beautiful garden views on one side of the property and magnificent ocean views on the opposite side of the property. It's so tranquil and peaceful on whichever side you decide to stay. It's close to seven mile beach and other attractions. The staff there are exceptionally helpful. They go out of their way to assist you in every way. The cottages are beautiful and clean. If you appreciate old world antiques and minimalist style, you will love your stay here. Breakfast is included-authentic Jamaican breakfast at its best. Looking forward to staying there again.

A lovely, peaceful retreat. Breakfast is served daily, featuring many local ingredients. The ocean-fed salt water pool is the highlight.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Tingalaya's. Went for a solo quiet retreat and it was just what I needed. The environment was naturalistic and serene. I stayed in one of the smaller Seaview cottages which was a joy to wake up to in the morning. The property does have dogs but they are friendly and don't bother a soul. I found that they only barked for about 5 or so minutes at almost a set time at night - which was actually kinda fascinating (as if they were simply checking in to each other. Beyond that, the place was quiet. Breakfast was DELICIOUS - kudos to the hands that prepared (Sophia and Marie). Big up to Bobby, Jummy (not sure if that's how it's spelt) and Robinson who were very friendly and kept the grounds immaculate and safe. I appreciated that the owner, David, happened to be there as well. He greeted all his guests and took personal interest to make sure we were happy with our stay. Great guy! My only issue was with the internet which didn't really service the cottage and seafront area. But this being a quiet retreat it wasn't a big deal for me... was a good way to tune out of my devices and just... be. It's the right space for others seeking the same kinda escape. I already plan on staying again later this year. Highly recommended.

It is a quiet retreat, with only 7 guest rooms spread across a large area. The garden is lovely with many interesting trees and plants. What didn’t work for us was the bathroom and toilet didn’t have a door , so had to improvise with a sheet strung across the open doorway! Also , was expecting a sandy beach. Instead, access to the sea is across the road in continuation of the property, and through low cliffs. On calm days they can lower a ladder over the cliffs into the sea- we couldn’t experience thus because of rough seas. There is a beautiful salt water pool which is continuously fed with waves crashing into it- absolutely divine to spend hours in the pool without the hassle of getting into the sea! Another unique feature of the property is one can watch BOTH sunrise and sunset from the pool deck! The staff is lovely; special mention of Sophia who cooked us an excellent Jamaican dinner and daily breakfast.

We were hoping to have a place to go snorkelling and be in a relaxed place…There were no fish on the reef, the staff were pushy and rude about getting tips - they did not want you to go with another cab company than their own for instance, even though theirs was double the price - huge competition to get tourists to locations for kickbacks - breakfast was good - paid for a dinner and it was absolutely horrible - were sick after it. No water or absolutely anything provided in the room - smelt of mold and red ant infested - we got bit so badly which hurt and itched for days. The furniture was so uncomfortable and no provisions or anything close by. They advertised being a retreat with yoga and none of that happened. The view of the ocean though was spectacular.

Tingalaya's is a lovely Negril retreat offering both seascape and garden areas in one location. The accommodations are bungalows sensitively detailed with a unique fusion of caribbean, indonesian and islamic details nested in a garden of tropical flora and fauna. The Jamaican breakfast is superb with callaloo from the organic garden and fresh coffee every morning. Friendly and attentive staff. Ask for the masseuse ! Caters to large or small groups, families and individuals. A welcoming host with intriguing universal interests. Great place for rejuvenation.

I truly loved it all... The staff was amazing ,welcoming and truly caring. The natural beauty of the location and the architecture that was so obviously orchestrated and and bound with the natural setting made this truly a place of paradise

This place is a fairy's dream!.... I can't wait to come back here with my girls for our bachelorette party

One of a kind place with a pool with an amazing view on the ocean where the snorkling is so gorgeous! Beautiful area to do yoga by yourself and a share kitchen space to cook local food by your self. We really enjoyed our stay!

Tranquil place to stay with great breakfast included. Very peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of the beach road.

When I went to ask about getting a blanket the night we got there, I was surrounded by snarling guard dogs and almost attacked. Apparently the guard was sleeping. Dogs were barking throughout the night. We left the next morning even though we paid for 4 nights. We also paid for dinner the night we got there - it was a few bowls of cold food and a bowl of white lettuce. It was supposed to be $45 for the 2 meals and they tried to bill us $60.00. The breakfast was excellent.

Enjoyed the wonderful staff and breakfast meals. The ocean access was nice but we were unable to snorkel at the resort due to unsafe surf.

We had an excellent and relaxing stay! The staff is fabulous and very friendly and professional. There is no AC however it’s not a problem at all. It cools off just enough at night for a comfortable night sleep. The huts are so lovely and romantic. We had or toddler and he really enjoyed the place as well. The breakfasts are so delicious. We purchased almost every supper here as well and it’s the best cooking you will find! The sunsets enjoyed at the pool on the cliffs are unforgettable. Very peaceful property with beautiful vegetation. Yoga available and Karen the yoga instructor is magical. There are mosquitos in the evening and early morning. The *only* downfall is that the neighbourhood dogs bark through the night. Overall this is an amazing spot!
