Mark was such a good host we became friends from this experience. I had the best sleep on this trip. Thank you my friend.

Mark, Alecia, & family are amazing! The food was quiet literally some of the best food we have had. It was fresh, local, and prepared beautifully. Nestled into the jungle and is a place for relaxation and was a great spot to get rest, relax and re center away from the hustle and bustle . We did the Rasta tour which we definitely recommend. It was a hike up into the mountains but the guides were very respectful of taking our time and resting when needed. We drank from the natural spring and enjoyed the beautiful view, culture, and lunch with a Rasta elder. We were given fruits picked along the way that I had never tried before. A Rasta named Patrick lives close by were we bought some of his coconut carvings and toured his garden its an amazing learning experience all around. At the retreat we had several meals and fresh juices non of which disappointed. The pool was a great place to cool off and enjoy the sounds around on our patio hammock.We felt at home and like a part of the family.

I highly recommend if you would like an authentic Jamaican experience. Food is exquisite and fresh! It’s not only tasty but truly makes you feel good. Beautiful Mountain View, clean pool, the owners are very kind and helpful. Staff is friendly and pleasant. It is pretty secluded up in the mountains and feel submerged in nature but the room and everything is very comfortable.

I stayed at Zimbali Retreat for 2 nights with 3 family members. I recommend Zimbali as a unique opportunity for the traveller who wants to get away from the tourist scene and experience a taste of Jamaican culture. Mark, Alecia and the Zimbali family/team were very welcoming. The team includes several dogs that you may see around from time to time. Aside from barking to alert when someone is at the front door, they are very calm and add to the serenity of Zimbali. We stayed in Suites I and II which shares an adjoining balcony which is nice for a family. One of the two Suites had a twin bed as well as a double bed which would have made it convenient to add a third person to our room. The interior of our rooms were beautifully decorated with a mix of island decor and pieces by talented local artists. This theme carried through to the common areas as well. The mood is very relaxing and peaceful. There is a swimming pool and gift shop onsite. Aside from the activities that you book, there isn't a lot of other things to do onsite. Of the activities available onsite, we chose the Rasta hike with Fiyah and the farm to table cooking show with farm tour. The one mile Rasta hike was at times a little challenging (but doable) for the retirees amongst us as the uphill trek was muddy in some spots, however there are plenty of things to hold onto to aid with the hike. Also, we had tour guides (Buju and Indio) that gave support to make the hike a lot easier and fun. It was well worth it for the visit with Fiyah and the delicious meal he prepared for us. The farm to table cooking show includes a farm tour (Unfortunately, we couldn't take the farm tour due to rain.) & 5 course meal prepared with fresh ingredients from the farm served with wine. It was educational, and the food was amazing. My family members recommend both experiences. We plan to visit again the next time we are in Negril.
