My boyfriend and I would escape our gross hotel to dine in the beautiful ambiance of this one. We ate at the whistling bird restaurant four or five times during our week long stay in Negril and wished we had also booked a room here. The garden is amazing and they dont have a public washroom for restaurant guests so... More

On the evening of 1/16/12 , my girlfriend and I had dinner at the Whistling Bird. We both ordered the coconut shrimp which was the special that day. I aso ordered the pumpkin soup and a Red Stripe. My girlfriend had a non-alcohol Pina Colada. Everything was very good, but I was surprised to be billed $84.15. The website menu... More

The beach in Negril is easily one of the best in the world. It fulfills all of our criteria: warm, clean water, the gentlest surf, abundant shade, consistent and stunning sunsets, gentle manta rays gliding along but NO sharks. The Whistling Bird is a resort with location, location, location. Centered right on the beach among an unbelievably beautiful jungle-like garden... More

I visited this resort not having a great understanding of what it was all about. The real plus to this resort is the staff. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. They do tend to come across like family. That can be good and bad. It was great to just sit and chat, but for me sometimes on vacation I just want... More

The Whistling Bird is a series of cottages and hotel rooms located in a tropical fairyland. You can smell the Jasmine as you walk through the gardens at night. Upon arriving at the breakfast area, I was astounded to see the bright teal blue of the ocean right there at my fingertips! Delicious food, fresh squeezed juice, Blue Mountain Coffee.... More

Our fifth time at The Whistling bird. Pure magic. Easily the nicest property on the beach. Cabins are integrated, without intrusion, into the jungle-like vegetation. Staff is competent and friendly. After a few days one truly feels amongst family. The only distraction is the Jungle, a club right across the road. Bring ear plugs. Or cross the road and join... More

I first visited "The Bird" in 2005. I have visited many times throughout the years. I love it here. The staff makes you feel wonderful. There is a sweet little bar on the beach where you can enjoy Blue Mountain coffee for breakfast along with some of the best food on the beach, and drinks and bonfires to the sound... More

Whistling Bird was everything I needed and more! If you are looking for a place to relax and recharge by getting back to basics, then this is the place to go. I loved that there was no tv, or radio (if there was I wasn't looking) and the soundtrack was the ocean, birds whistling, and the passing shower on the... More

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
