Beautiful property on the West End. We have stayed in Negril many times and this is by far one of the best resorts we have stayed. The location is perfect. The staff is incredible and Paul, the lifeguard, is a dear friend we met a few years ago. The Lodge food is amazing. And the 3 dogs there are sweethearts. Just a great laid back vibe you would expect in Negril.

My experience at the Bungalow at Tensing was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was truly five-star, warm, attentive, welcoming, and committed to making every moment special. A special thank you to Maxine, my massage therapist, who gave one of the best massages I've ever had. It was incredibly relaxing, top-notch, and exactly what I needed. The entire property has such a peaceful, positive vibe that immediately puts you at ease. It's the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and simply enjoy the beauty around you. Everything was absolutely perfect. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to stay. I enjoyed it so much that I'm already thinking about coming back later this month with my daughter. If anyone is looking for a relaxing getaway with exceptional service, I highly recommend the Bungalow at Tensing. I can't wait to return!

This is such a beautiful property in such a special place. It wasn’t very busy when I was there, but I think even if it was, it would feel very peaceful. The staff is amazing. Just absolutely amazing. I’m also including the Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs that just wander around the property. Theyre sweethearts. I feel bad for how many people feed them, though. Such a magical spot, the cliffs, the ocean, the aesthetic of everything. I highly recommend.

Tensing Pen is a fabulous place. It’s showing its age a bit, and isn’t what was when I came in 2012, when it was world class, but then Negril seems to have struggled a bit as well. Despite these deficits, it remains an amazing place to completely relax, unwind, and go off grid. If you like the bohemian feel and want to step away to another world, this is the spot. The natural beauty, combined with great food, and wonderful staff make this a hidden gem.

What an amazing experience - Tensing Pen!

Tensing Pen was by far one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at. The staff and team at the resort were friendly and personal. I went for my birthday and they all wished me warm wishes on the day. They went out of their way to make us feel like valued guests, something you don’t experience at a large resort. Their accommodations are wonderful and the location is a dream. From check in, to dinner to hanging out by the pool at the resort, truly an experience we will never forget. The Tensing Pen resort is the best out there.

A Magical Retreat - Tensing Pen Hotel What a beautiful surprise! My husband and I travel extensively, and we believe that the hotel you choose plays a significant role in making a vacation truly memorable. I can’t say enough good things about the Tensing Hotel—it’s simply magical. From the moment we arrived, it felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves. We stayed in a villa with an ocean view, and it was worth every penny of the upgrade. Waking up to the sight of the ocean each morning was nothing short of breathtaking. The food at Tensing is exquisite. The quality, the menu—everything is prepared fresh to order by a talented chef. It’s a paradise, secluded yet sophisticated, with a design that beautifully reflects Jamaican culture. We are definitely coming back! Beyond the hotel itself, the Jamaican people are incredibly kind and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. I don’t think this warmth is unique to just this hotel; it seems to be a hallmark of Jamaican hospitality in general.

The property is placed in a perfect paradise right down the road from famous Rick’s Café known for the cliff jump in. This resort offers its own private cliff jump in with a bridge that connects to islands that you can jump from small intimate perfect for a couples. Not a place for a small children. The food served at this restaurant is phenomenal breakfast lunch, and dinner a must eat local dine in at your home resort we will definitely be going back. The rooms are your own private cabana.
