팅갈라야스 리트리트(Tingalaya's Retreat)

This was a magical retreat space. We so loved the comfort of the authentic & organic "cabin" we stayed in. The entire staff was exceptional in their care, regardless of our request. Our cabin was beautifully furnished with lovely antiques & art. The food was so fresh, healthy & exquisite in taste. We tasted many authentic Jamaican dishes we would likely not get to experience anywhere else. It was refreshing to mingle with the staff. Everyone was delightful. We highly recommend.

We were completely captivated by our visit to Tingalaya's Retreat. When researching travel we look for locations and properties that allow us to immerse ourselves in a local culture. Boy, did this beautiful place provide! The charming guest cottages, tucked in lush gardens, had everything we needed -- beds and linens very comfortable, wifi excellent, lots of places to relax and read. Gorgeous Jamaican breakfasts and a pre-arranged dinner were served in a towering wood shingled gazebo. All staff very friendly, greeting us by name and offering tips on local eateries and things to do. This is one of those rare, lovely places that permit one to daydream of living in a different time and place.

What a nice atmosphere!!! We loved our little, simple room hut close to the cliffs and the small swimming pool (with a queen bed and a nice bathroom with warm water). A good breakfast is served in the ‘living room’ on the other side of the road where also other rooms are. The retreat is quite far from the restaurants/town and you need a car to go for dinner in the evening (as it is dark and the road is full of potholes) however you are allowed to cook in their kitchen which we enjoyed. We also experienced a lovely yoga session. Eleanore is a more than an amazing host. She really takes care of guests in a super professional and pleasant way. Thousand thanks to you and all the other ‘crew’ members. We really enjoyed our stay.

What a Wonderful and Peaceful place to stay! Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Tingalaya. The Staff was sooo Welcoming and accommodating to us. The hospitality that we felt at Tingalaya really made our stay a Wonderful experience! The Property and the Grounds are just so well maintained and beautiful. The Ocean Side part of the property is just Amazing with an outdoor Yoga deck where you can do Yoga while watching the Sunset and hear the sounds of the waves. Yes, sounds like a dream, but it’s true. Just an amazing and beautiful experience! Tingalaya is a Wonderful property with an amazing and helpful Staff for those guests lucky enough to find it. Thank you David, Eleanor, Juby, Moreen, and Jenny for making our stay So Wonderful! We really look forward to seeing you all again! All The Best, Rick and Raquel.

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.

We spent a lovely week at Tingalaya, relaxing in our cottage, sitting by the seawater pool and swimming in the ocean. Really enjoyed meeting the owner David and the staff especially Sophia who cooked our breakfast every morning and Jube who helped us down by the pool when we needed something. This was a delightful location away from the crowds but close enough to get to the hustle and bustle of Negril when we wanted that. Genius Johnson took great care of us driving us everywhere we wanted to go. Hope to come back to Jamaica very soon!

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.
