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.

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.

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!

This was a great getaway. If you dont like the fuss of large chain hotels, Tingalaya is great for you. Its truly a hidden gem. The property is large with lots of privacy and the swimming pool in the cliffs is pretty spectacular. Breakfast is included and is served with a fresh platter of fruits. Staff is amazing

A wonderful remote retreat with a really fantastic staff! Beautiful grounds, well-kept with lots of shade. Bougainvillea and flowering trees abound and we enjoyed walking on flower covered paths to breakfast each morning. Great ocean front with a fun ocean filled salt water pool. We enjoyed the pool and ocean front area for relaxing and chilling out watching the waves and sunsets. There is no beach but they have a lovely sandy area with trees and plenty of shade structures and no sales people. The shore is eroded ancient ocean bed with very sharp surfaces. Ocean edge is mostly a 5 to 10 foot drop to the water. Enter by using a ladder that will be in place when the ocean is calm enough. The included breakfast comes with a great fruit plate, coffee or tea and juice and you can choose from a variety of items from the menu. And, you can show up any time from 7 AM to 11 AM. Sleep in, or go get some coffee to take to your room and eat later. A great way to enjoy the morning. Be sure to try the ackee, callaloo and other Jamaican dishes. They offer optional dinner with advance notice. We had lobster one night and Jerk Chicken another night – wonderful and a very fair price compared to restaurants. Most other restaurants we visited did not have many more choices and the food was not as good as Tingalaya’s. The best part - the staff. They make the Jamaican phrase 'share the love' a reality. They are fun, knowledgeable , friendly, helpful and I could go on and on. Yehman, we enjoyed!

Need transportation as it is far (I has access to a car). Free bicycle use would be a lovely addition to this hotel. I really liked my garden room. Note it is across the street from the beach but this was not Important. The room itself was spacious and had an amazing vibe w Bali inspired furniture. Hardly any bugs. Fans only but not an issue at all. Gorgeous yoga space. Amazing breakfast included every day. Beautiful grounds. The sea water pool is stunning and you can jump off the cliffs and climb back up with or without the ladder as long as the sea is calm. To walk around the cliffs u you need to bring water shoes. Internet intermittent. For the price it was an amazing experience.

Nice relaxing place, very quiet and pretty much had the beach area to ourselves. A bit far out of town and directions were not that great to get there. Staff were fairly non existent except for breakfast, which was a bit inconsistent. Also got a bit annoyed with the puppies across the way, who were undisciplined and were constantly jumping up on us and trying to get in our hut.

A 3-night solo getaway from the city. The grounds are beautiful and the yoga studio is reminiscent of an Indian Ashram's practice room. The pool was pretty neat too. Not for everyone as it is rustic. But it is clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was also beautiful and plentiful. It was perfect for a little solo R&R by the sea.

The hotel only has 8 units; we picked one of the two that is on the cliff overlooking the water; this location was fabulous, but the "room" consists of a rustic bedroom and bathroom. The bed was a double bed, not queen size as Expedia led us to believe. It was quite clean except for the two types of ants that crawled up and down one of the bathroom walls. We were also guarded by two very friendly dogs. All of the hotels in the West End are fenced and some, including this one have guards and/or dogs at night. We never felt unsafe, however. There is a small infinity pool at the edge of the ocean and we enjoyed sitting by the pool, watching and listening to the waves crash against the rocks. A wonderful breakfast was included and two evenings we elected to have dinner at the hotel (jerk chicken) which was also wonderful.

Wonderful staff, beautiful grounds and comfortable accommodations. The secluded location on the cliffs is part of the charm, but be aware the cost of taxis can add up. It doesn't have all the conveniences of the all inclusives, but it's an experience worth having. A better way to get to know the true Jamaica. I travelled alone and felt safe. I'll be back!

Tingalaya's was an absolute top experience during our trip in Jamaica. We (family with 3 teenagers) started our trip there, loved it so much that we changed our itinerary (a journey across the island) and booked two additional nights to end our trip there. Rooms are spacious, personal, colonial-style jewels. Maria and the team are gems. A very personal experience! When we came back we were welcomed by David, the owner of the place. We spent the rest of the day together: we went to the markets together to buy food, the team prepared our dinner and we ended up having a huge lobster feast on the private seashore of the resort. Amazing how it can be so quiet and personal in vibrant Negril. Our home in Jamaica!

This was a wonderfully private Negril vacation property. There were only seven cottages which meant the place was not overrun with people. Half the property is on one side of the road with cottages set in a lush garden, a dining area, kitchen area, ice machine and fridge for the guests. The whole property is walled and gated for security. This side is excellent for families travelling with children. The units are bigger and more luxurious. The other half of the property, where we stayed, is across the road on the cliffs. We stayed in a rustic cottage that was airy and faced the ocean. We went to sleep each night to the sound of the waves. There is a beautiful ocean-fed pool where we spent every evening watching the sun set. The first night we were there they had a bonfire on the cliffside. What a magical evening that was, sharing tales under the Jamaican star-studded sky. Breakfast was huge with eggs and fresh fruit every morning. Jube, the caretaker, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area. He and the other staff made us feel like we were part of the family. We are definitely going back!
