  Love this place the view was amazing. The pool area was incredible. The rooms was great and the people at the retreat was amazing as well. Can't say enough about Tingalayas will be back. Tingalayas made the Jamaican trip that much more fun

  The only place to stay if you want a truly Jamaican experience.

  I've never stayed at the hotel like that. It's incredible!! The gardens, the rooms, the service, the views and all the super friendly and playful puppies and dogs on the properties. If you don't like all-inclusives and are looking for perfect retreat, come here. You'll want to extend your stay 5 minutes after your check-in.

  Un lugar muy especial, ubicado en la costa suroeste de Negril, Jamaica. Cuenta con bella decoración India, muchos detalles , jardines muy bien cuidados, piscina con agua de mar. Y de acuerdo a las condiciones puedes nadar en el mar al borde de los acantilados.

  Caro, pero increíblemente acogedor con mucho respeto por la fauna local. El personal es super amable y atento. Un buen lugar para grabar, fotografiar y apreciar al encantador Dr. Bird, el colibrí considerado ave nacional de Jamaica.

  Spectacular! If Disneyland had an area called "One World Jamaica Land" it would be Tingalaya's. The cottages and bungalows look very authentic but everything is pristine. Every building and all the landscaping is bright and fresh and beautiful. The cliffside pool is so perfect, you can just float in the saltwater for hours rocking with the waves. The staff are amazing. Really! Maria can cook anything and makes every effort to exceed your expectations. She brought me fresh pineapple from her mother's tree and made a magical curry like I've never tasted. Rochelle cleans every other day and even does some laundry if you wish. There are no windows, just screens so I don't know how she keeps the dust out but she does, not a speck on any windowsill and there are lots of windows (magic?). You get an ample stack of plush towels for bathing and big ones for the beach. Jubee is a national treasure and makes a fantastic jerk conch. Sophia and Boz and all the dogs are just as delightful. It really is a "magical kingdom"! Do rent a car or scooter though, a friend had a disturbing trip using a taxi (not at Tingalaya but on the beach end) so I wouldn't use one but the hired car services are an excellent option. Also, get a local cell phone and load on some minutes ($30-40 for the phone and plan) because despite my assurances from Verizon my phone never did work, not even at the airport when I really needed it. The car services I hired used whatsapp as a means of texting and Tingalaya has great wifi so that works too. There is a large ice machine and multiple fridges at the resort as well so you can keep your red stripe and snacks private. It's a very special place where you can meet some very intelligent and interesting people who will make time to talk about anything and everything. Anyone looking for some legit downtime and soul rejuvenation will be so very happy to have found Tingalaya's. I did visit friends at a resort on the 7-mile beach end, a nice one too, and it just seemed so cheap and taudry and ordinary in comparison. If you like that kind of thing please don't stay at Tingalaya's because I will be going back and I don't want you tainting the positive mojo.
