I liked the location, the direct access to the beach and price. However the host was hard to reach at the beginning but after all the security was there to greet me and check me in.

The property is still recovering from Hurricane Melissa, so some amenities are currently unavailable. Cable and wired internet are not available, but Wi-Fi is provided. Rooms include air conditioning, a fan, and a full-size refrigerator. The on-site restaurant and bar are currently closed, but several restaurants and local street vendors are within walking distance. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen equipped with a microwave, toaster, full-size stove, and cookware. Housekeeping services are available as well. The property’s biggest advantage is its beachfront location. The beach is just steps from the rooms, with chairs and picnic tables available for guests to use. Despite the limited amenities during the recovery period, the convenient access to the beach and nearby dining options make the property a comfortable choice.

I’ve been going here for 40 Years. Prior ownership was out of this world. New owner barely said hello and we felt alienated and icky. If it weren’t for staff and beauty of Negril it would have been less inviting. And being ignored is demeaning. No name will be disclosed.

Not Impressed

Don’t expect much from this place. Not even a towel or toilet paper in the bathrooms. You basically get what you pay for, or maybe less than that. If u like a deserted place-go for it. Peace and quiet you will get.

When we arrived we were met by a shady individual in the guard shack and another standing by the gate. They informed us that the property was closed since the hurricane (which was over a week before) and that we would have to stay somewhere else. The grounds looked dark and terrible.Tragic.

My stay at yellow bird was wonderful! We rebooked 4 times! The beach is large and beautiful with lots of trees for shade. The beach bar is nice, 2 for 1 happy hour! The food on the beach from the beach grill is fantastic. They offer everything from curried goat to various wraps and much more. I highly recommend the fish wrap. Chef David can really cook and is super friendly! From the moment we arrived we felt like we were home and had known the staff for years. Shanika and Vincent are so friendly and made our stay wonderful! I can’t forget to mention Sandra, she is wonderful as well, she’ll do a load of laundry, just don’t forget to give her a generous tip. Big up to the staff at yellow bird! I have made wonderful new friends! You’re truly amazing! 😍

No human being should stay at this place. Its a total scam. The property (The Yellow Bird) is like nothing presented online. Everywhere and everything is dirty. The EXTERnal bathroom is minutes away from the bedroom. In the bathroom wet, dirty towel on the floor, dirty water in the dilapidated face basin, very very dirty. The bedroom very very dirty, the security guard is the one who was trying to clean up a little when we took out our phone and started to video the place. We demanded a refund and they are insisting we request it from Expedia. We will be back tomorrow morning to get a refund because we cannot sleep in this nasty place. Stay away from this place
