We've stayed at other resorts on 7-mile beach, as well as on the cliffs, but Whistling Bird cottages is now 'home' for us while visiting Negril. A wonderful settling with the most vibrant and lush native vegetation found on ANY 7-mile resort property. Truly a great job of keeping lots of native plants/flowering shrubs for a very intimate feel and tropical paradise right on one of the finest beaches in the world. Whistling Bird has all the ingredients needed for a well-run resort that provides amazing vacations and experiences for each guest. Tip of the hat to Calvin, the owner, who has assembled, and most importantly retains, an excellent, dedicated staff that provides superb service. My friend Ryan and Chin and the rest of security staff did great. Ryan is great human with a permeating smile. Mr. Kevin commanded a great kitchen and went above and beyond with every meal we ordered. He truly keeps the 'back of the house' running and also fills in wherever needed. Ms. Reneeka is a very professional server that provides a ray of sunshine at all times. Ms. Bavra keeps it all running smooth and is there to help with anything needed. The housekeeping staff was stellar!! And the groundskeeping crew help maintain the most natural, relaxing and enjoyable resort grounds we have found anywhere in Negril. So glad we finally found 'our' spot and look forward to many, many more amazing days and memorable nights staying at the Bird. Cheers!!

The staff is great treat you like family hospitality unmatched best beach food is great beautiful setting couldn’t ask for a better vacation spot our third time definitely plan on returning hopefully in the near future

This place is amazing if you want a small resort with fantastic staff, beautiful sunset views with relaxing warm water and white sand. It was PERFECT for our 23rd anniversary. The staff helped my husband plan a special evening for us with a sunset dinner on the beach at the resort (which is just where we wanted to spend it) . The snorkeling isn't fantastic right off the beach but you may still see sting rays and other small fish, but you can go up the beach a ways to find a man made reef and it has more fish to explore. The food at the resort was great if you do the all inclusive option. You can walk along the beach to find restaurants, bars, water activities (parasailing, snorkeling tours, sunset dinner cruises, etc) and shopping (including ATMs). If you want land tours (waterfall, Bob Marley Museum, etc) that is available as well. I would suggest speaking with the staff at the resort who are very helpful with transportation/tours needs. They truly make you feel like family. The cottages are a bit rustic, but comfortable and provided everything we needed. We weren't looking for the "huge" resort vibe that you can get down the road. We will definitely be returning to this little piece of paradise.
