Bed & breakfasts in West End

Place was amazing, Maria was great, breakfast was spectacular and Neville was so warm and welcoming

Jungle setting provides cool canopy and chill vibe in Jamaica’s steamy West End. Close enough to Rick’s and 7-mile to take advantage of action, far enough away to relax in a quiet setting. Most rooms are modest and sound travels easily between, but furnishings are lovely and guests are wonderful so we didn’t mind. The Great House and Sea Grape Cottage may be worth the splurge. They offer much more privacy and are absolutely gorgeous. The screened porches are to die for. The Pavillion is also beautiful. We did yoga and meditated in there every morning before breakfast. It’s be great for a yoga retreat! Sitting at the pool feels like visiting Greece. Smart design that works with nature perfectly. Most days you can climb into the ocean via ladder. Kevin is on duty to keep you safe and introduce you to fish tucked into the coral. You may want to bring snorkel gear. There’s a fab deck by the pool or you can sit at an elevated beach about 15 yards back from the cliff. Perfect retreat location for solo travelers, families, friends, or couples. Staff feels like family by day two. Guests are diverse. We made fast friends with everyone thanks to long, lazy breakfasts in the outdoor dining room. Delicious made-to-order breakfast is included, some food sourced from trees on property. Maria and Sophia are an attentive and talented cook/service team. We ordered dinner one night and shared with another couple staying in the room next to us. It was fabulous. We visited Zimbali Farm one night. It was delightful farm to table dinner with music, farm tour, and cooking show. They serve very little not grown on site. I’d recommend asking Maria to have a scooter delivered to the property. She gets the best deals. Just watch out for potholes. We cliff jumped at Ricks in the morning when it was quiet—ask Spider if he’ll dive for you. Then we scooted to Sun Beach on 7-mile—across from Best in the West. Awesomely chill spot. Incredibly friendly staff. We are seasoned international travelers and enjoy everything from rustic campsites to 5-star hotels. There was a lot we appreciated about Tingalaya’s and would definitely come back. Parting advice: Haggle for everything. Buy sunscreen at home. If you have white skin you’ll pay more—just surrender to it. Negotiate price before you get in taxi. Bring snacks and fruit—there’s a fridge you can use and it’s nice to munch and play games or sit at the pool. Enjoy!

We were grateful to Faith for her hospitality. She’s an activist for both guest and locals to experience the rich and beautiful culture of the island. We spent one night as we were just passing through on our tour of the island’s parishes. We woke up the next morning to a beautiful vegan breakfast (requested), that satisfied the palate.
