Tingalaya's Retreat

The staff, the dogs, the secluded pool and the jungle atmosphere

The landscape being surrounded by greenery and flowers was indescribable. Also, beakfast was as you like, but no ground provision. I like the intimacy of the location and secure feeling. The staff was great, as was the owner when I had issues with my credit card, he was professional and courteous and allowed me to resolve it without a fuss..

No bathtubs, I like baths. You are on the rocky side; so, if you want a beach to lay on, this not the spot.

I loved this place! It was a little magical oasis away from the craziness of the beach and its vendors. A tropical wonderland with lots of lush trees. If you're staying here more than 3 days, you're probably guaranteed an entire day by the pool alone. The pool is great and you can jump into the ocean. They have a lifeguard on duty most of the time. The staff was a DREAM. Maria and Sophia have the kitchen on lock and Jube the Rasta manages the grounds along with some help. Kevin was our lifeguard and he's a nice young man and is ready to jump in the ocean after you if you aren't a strong swimmer. Our room didn't need an AC it was the perfect temp and there were enough fans around should you need more air. I loved the dogs on the grounds. They were sweet and if you are leaving your dog family at home, be ready to fall in love with a new one here. We stayed while the owner was also there and he was very kind. I love the people who work here, the grounds of lush beauty and the food was amazing. I cannot wait to come back here again. Also, there is WIFI but I'd like you to know, you shouldn't even want to use it because it's better to be surrounded by the spectacular property then your phone. p.s. the yoga studio is TO DIE FOR and also has a pole for pole dancing. They also have the BEST BREAKFAST in all of Negril. I bet money on it!!

My stay should have been longer!

The food was great, especially the breakfast, and the amazing fruit. Maria, Sophia, and Audrine are so sweet and helpful!!

Stronger Internet WiFi signals.

Beautiful retreat and a great breakfast. Definitely more beautiful than I was expecting from the photos. This was a true retreat from the bustle of the tourist areas. We loved the ocean fed pool by the cliffs.

The location is not what Booking.com shows(Google maps location is accurate)! It is actually about 10 minutes drive farther down the coast. Having it so far down was a drag sometimes as having other meals prepared needs 24 advanced notice- so we left for our meals and day activities but it was too far to walk (we often walk back home so it was far) and had to call a taxi every time instead.
