  We did the Rasta tour with Fiya and it was one of the highlights of our trip. He is an amazing man filled with a joyful spirit and infectious energy. He was welcoming to us and served us a delicious Ital meal from ingredients he grew. Blessings! The view from his place is amazing and we chilled in his hammock while he cooked and sang to himself :) Mark was very helpful with answering questions and getting us welcomed in. Thank you all for this incredible time!

  My wife and I recently had the pleasure of joining a group of 24 fellow travelers for an unforgettable dining experience at Zimbali Culinary Retreats, nestled in the picturesque Caanan Mountain just outside Negril. Despite the rugged journey along the winding road, what awaited us at Zimbali was well worth the bumpy ride. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the hospitable staff, who immediately made us feel at home in this rustic yet charming retreat. As we settled in, we were treated to the soulful melodies of a local musical group, and I couldn't resist joining in for a few moments of pure joy and camaraderie. The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the exquisite five-course meal prepared by the talented chefs at Zimbali. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the rich flavors and vibrant spices of Jamaican cuisine. From the tantalizing appetizers to the decadent desserts, every bite was a delightful journey for the senses. What truly set this dining experience apart was the emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, many of which are grown right on the premises. The commitment to sustainability and authenticity was evident in every dish, adding an extra layer of depth to the dining experience. Throughout the evening, the staff at Zimbali went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of. Their passion for hospitality was palpable, and their attention to detail was truly commendable. While the road to Zimbali may have been rough, the journey was well worth it for the culinary adventure that awaited us. It's a testament to the old adage that the best things in life are often found off the beaten path. Our evening at Zimbali Culinary Retreats will be a cherished memory for years to come, and we can't wait to return for another taste of paradise in the heart of Jamaica's countryside.

  Chef Alecia and her team cooked an inspired, delicious, fresh and healthy 5 Course meal infused with love, joy, vitality and wisdom. It was a delightful experience for our whole family. My 13 year old daughter said it was the best salad she had ever tasted. My 11 year old son was mesmerized by the preparation which was done right before our eyes. The pre-dinner tour of the farm and sounds of the Africa drums during our dining experience made it a night to remember! Thank you Alecia and team. We will be back for more.

  This was my first time in Jamaica and dinner at Zimbali was certainly the highlight of my trip. The property was gorgeous, which is how the experience started with an optional farm tour. It was a wonderful beginning to see what would be going into our meal. Everyone that greeted us was so welcoming and the vibe was on point. I was part of a group of 7 friends with varying dietary preferences and to say we were all blown away by the predominately plant based menu is an understatement. I have been vegan for 15 years and traveled a decent amount. A great and truly plant based gourmet meal is hard to find. Chef Alecia is brilliant and her menu healed my over processed food filled body and soul. Shout out to her team as well, I left so inspired to replicate that salad. We had such an amazing night at Zimbali. We ate, drank, danced and truly felt like part of the wonderful family that provided this memorable experience. Absolutely recommend visiting here on your next trip to Negril!
