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.

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! 😍

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.

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.

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

We picked this place because of its location on the beach. The beach was terrible due to huge amounts of rotting seaweed with bad smell. Water was filthy with garbage in it. Our room was tiny. It had a fridge in the room. The shower didn’t work. We used the shower in our friends room. Air conditioning worked. Every night there was a huge party going on until 2 am so we couldn’t sleep. I would never go back here.
