arrival reminded me an eposode from From Dusk till Dawn movie with a wild disco opposite the hotel. The room was booked in April, but it was not ready when we arrived. Small box-like houses, no towels looked nothing near similar to very attractive pictiures from the web.The cottages are located in the jungle-like garden with lots of mosquitos, so... More

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of ATI party during your stay at the Whistling Bird. ATI weekend is known as Negril's Emancipation weekend. Every year at the end of July, masses of youths descend on Negril and book virtually every room in town for what's known as ATI. All inclusive parties go virtually non-stop for days . ATI stands...

If you are the type who needs a 5 star resort, the Whistling Bird is not for you. But if you are looking for a no-frills, really relaxing, chill spot on an incredible beach, try the Whistling Bird. Our cottage was simple but comfortable. The beach was totally awesome. The vibe was great as well. It felt like visiting family.... More

After weeks of reading reviews, we finally decided on Whistling Bird for our first trip to Jamaica. Cottages were not as expected. No tv, no mini fridge, no clock. We did have a window unit a/c but there were no windows that closed. Bathroom window was open and no covering. Sink in bathroom had a hot water faucet and a... More

Life gets very busy for me as a Business Manager of a seven week-day establishment and when everything comes crashing in, Whistling Bird is the place that I dream about for rejuvinating my mind and body. I fell in love with this property years ago. It is the only true 'Negril' property that I have encountered. Cozy, quaint, unpretentious, nestled... More

Can do as much or as little as Negril has to offer. We stayed on the property 80% of the time and were treated better than family. Very accommodating to special requests and there is no better beach protector on the planet than Ryan who keeps any overzealous vendors at bay. Most of the beach vendors are wonderful hard working...

We stayed for 10 days over new year and had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough to help and to make our stay 5*. The cottages have a boutique feel to them with plenty of room and great sunken showers. The quite location on the beach made it truly relaxing. New years eve... More

My husband and I traveled into Negril for the Reggae Marathon. We arranged our room with Anthony (who is american btw) and had no issues what so ever. He was very accomodating and not pushy. We love the charm of the bungalows. The beds could have been better (Im a fluffy bed lover so take that as it is). Our... More
