Treasure Beach is a microcosm of the ever elusive âReal Jamaicaâ. Smurfâs - better known as Dawnâs place by the locals, is the real deal when it comes to a great farm to table breakfast, complete with bold Jamaican coffee and a selection of hot teas to suit any palate. Food is served hot and presentations are colorful. Salted codfish served with Ackee (the podlike fruit of a local species which, when cooked, bears a strong resemblance to scrambled eggs in color, texture, and taste). If there is such a thing as a âJamaican National Breakfastâ (IMO) this could fill the bill!Note to big breakfast appetites: 3 words - The Smurf Omelette!

After reading about the best lobster places in Negril, we agree with all of the reviews. The Office of Nature surpasses the reviews. See Dynamite for the best fresh and flavorful lobster dish you will ever have! Rice, bread and of course the fresh grilled lobster. We wished we had more cash on us to order drinks at the bar. Imagine sitting at the beach, them taking your order and then the chef heading to the water to get your fresh lobster from the sea. If you stay at Couples Negril it is a short and beautiful walk up the beach to The Office of Nature. When we return we will visit again and maybe 2x!! Thanks Dynamite and crew for the most amazing lobster we have ever had.

Lovely and helpful staff.... when we visit again we will repeat our experiences.....Dear Mindy,Thank you for staying with us and eating at the Lodge.

Stayed at the property on a recent trip and had 3 meals here. Our dinner the first night was very disappointing. We were sampling dishes to potentially have an event here. The only dish that we had that was ok was the curry shrimp. Figured it was on off night which happens. We had breakfast next morning the coconut toast was burnt on one side undone on the other. The pancakes were flat and mushy had to get them redone.Tried the Jamaican breakfast the next day the ackee and salt fish had so many bones in it I had to leave half of it on the plate. I was done. They need a chef. Maybe your experience will be better and I do hope it is but the third time was no charm for me. Too many other great places to enjoy a good meal.Thank you for choosing to dine in our restaurant.We are deeply disappointed your experience was less than satisfying. We are equally appalled that our food never matched your expectation, as this is the highlight of our restuarnt offering fresh , delicious farm to table meals. We do hope you may visit again in the future.

We visited this restaurant as it was a short walk from our resort. The ambiance was beautiful with lights and the sound of the ocean. We had a pretty large group of 11 people and Francine was our waitress. She did an amazing job of serving and helping us figure out what to order. I asked if they could make their jerk pasta dish with shrimp and they were very accommodating. We had a great time eating here, thank you!!!

We are a family that loves to cook at home and that makes a point of taking a cooking class every time we travel. From a chef who travels to our home in Playa del Carmen to catching our own fish in the mangroves and cooking them over an open hearth in Belize, we are always looking for unique and authentic flavors and experiences, and Zimbali was the highlight of our trip! We travel to Negril with frequency, but this was the first time we took our teens. We stayed at a big all-inclusive (we've never stayed at one before) and they.... hated it. They found it impersonal and generic, and when we arrived at Zimbali for the cooking class, my 14-year-old son, upon surveying the grounds and kitchen said, "why didn't we stay here?" Then we took the farm tour and my daughter said, "this is much more what we were hoping to do in Jamaica. This feels REAL." This was all before we even entered the cooking studio for our midday meal. The meal itself? Lovely. We loved the idea of a chilled salad dressing, and we will try to recreate it at home. The jerk was perfectly spiced. The sides complemented the dishes. The plating was pretty. Everything was lovely. My only complaint, and this is a minor one, was that we arrived when they were getting ready to go on holiday for a week or so, in fact, they scheduled us in, and I could not help but feeling bad that we interrupted their plans. This was not reflective of the staff in any way. It was an internal idea of mine. As such, we had a private meal, the four of us. A few tips: 1. Yes the drive is bumpy. Many many country roads are much bumpier. Relax and enjoy the country view.2. When they say "walking shoes" believe them. It is a farm tour, so proper footwear is essential.3. We brought school supplies for the local children and they were appreciated. Just give to them when you arrive.Hello Lockie, Thank you so much for brining your lovely family to Zimbali and it was such a pleasure to have you :)We love people who a searching for a real experience, wanting to see the real culture and who grow their kids to want to see the 'Real Ting!'From our family to yours- we hope to see you again and please 'come back to Jamaica' :)Blessings- Mark, Alecia and our whole Staff/Family
