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.

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. ##### Ana Paula Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisa Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

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. ##### Shauna Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### KSHAMA Dec 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Quiet retreat in Negril 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/20381962187DCAFC04BD992605AC5EE45F6112CD1672327674838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BCB29C4C7EF02C405C5A79CAF3570F5E60C5F8791672327670807.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1163A802345D50D1C34FB2F385325AA8929191F71672327667327.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5316A2B7D7970EC15B3F2C07D8BD080EA17EA6251672327736192.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### KSHAMA Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elayna Nov 28, 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Elayna ### 8/10 Good #### Jacquiann Sep 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jacquiann Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michaela May 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I truly loved it all...

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Feb 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unforgettable 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! ##### Catherine Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray, Boston Nov 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Best place in the west end for peace and quiet Great staff Tingalayas is our favorite place in Negril Maria Juby Sophie Bobby Boston Kevin are some of the best folks I have ever met anywhere ##### Ray Stayed 14 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lucille, Montego Bay, Jamaica Jun 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really nice property 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 ##### lucille Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### LUIZA MARA Apr 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Recomendo! Ideal para relaxar bastante a mente, pois é um lugar cercado de natureza dentro e fora da pousada. Café da manhã saboroso. ##### LUIZA MARA ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis Feb 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful remote location away from Negril mayhem 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! ##### Dennis ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Marquis Reforma Hotel Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico-City-Hotels-Marquis-Reforma-Hotel-Spa.h366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels.d3979.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [voco Paris Montparnasse by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Voco-Paris-Montparnasse.h1498336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Highway 407 Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Highway-407-Station-Hotels.d553248635997306693.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Lisbon](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d2080-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chateau Cartier Hotel & Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Chateau-Cartier-Hotel-Resort.h449484.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels.d4118.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Steam Plant Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Spokane-Hotels-Steam-Plant-Hotel.h117258.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Myrtle Beach Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes](https://www.expedia.ca/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Marriott-Myrtle-Beach-Resort-Spa-At-Grande-Dunes.h972765.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel Detroit Downtown - Fort Shelby](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Detroit-Downtown-Fort-Shelby.h2447773.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-St-Johns-Airport-Hotel-And-Suites.h20154318.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Hannover (HAJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/haj/montreal-to-hannover) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Chattanooga (CHA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/cha/montreal-to-chattanooga) > > [Flights from Charleston Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/chs/nyc/charleston-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/msy/toronto-to-new-orleans) > > [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Hobart (HBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/hba/sydney-to-hobart) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/tfs/london-to-tenerife) > > [Air Canada Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-los-angeles-intl/ac/yyz/lax) > > [Flights from New York (LGA) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lga/yvr/new-york-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Spokane (GEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/geg/victoria-to-spokane) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Brisbane (BNE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/bne/saskatoon-to-brisbane) > > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/yyt/charlottetown-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Beirut (BEY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bey/montreal-to-beirut) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yhz/saskatoon-to-halifax) ### Activities > [Things to do in Isla Blanca](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Isla-Blanca.d6359748.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/44/Cuba) > > [Hawaii Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawaii.d213.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Ticonderoga](https://www.expedia.ca/Ticonderoga.dx7299)
