Communicative and accomodating

Mark, the host, is very communicative and accommodating. I'd recommend taking the shuttle rather than driving or taxiing, as the trip can be difficult.
Fantastic experience

This was a great experience! We paid the extra $20 to be picked up right from our hotel. The drive itself was something, especially the last three miles or so which was not paved. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a cold drink. The essence of family is in the air with the staff. There is a bar where you can grab a drink before the farm tour. The food experience itself was spectacular. The mix of flavors explodes in your mouth while you enjoy a bottle of wine with the five course meal.
Beautifully amazing.

Amazing, quaint little restaurant. The chefs are great and very knowledgeable about the ingredients and it’s benefits used in each course. Straight from their farm. Loved every moment.

Food was fantastic. Farm was a.azing but a trek, lots of hills and steps. Just be aware that there are children and nearly everyone is smoking pot.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Hi Carole,
Thanks for coming :)
Yes- we are a small family business and have 4 children from 21-2yrs. We live at Zimbali. It is our life and Zimbali is a farming lifestyle we are sharing with you. Our kids are around, but are very sweet and lots of fun.
Regarding 'Pot". This is an individuals choice and is legal now in most places. We are a Rasta Family and do not judge. There is no smoking in the cooking studio and plenty of outdoor space to sit where this shouldn't physically bother anyone.
Thanks again Carole :)
Blessings- Mark

Zimbali mountain cooking studio is an captivating culinary experience that everyone must try when you visit Jamaica. From the hospitable welcome on arrival, the beautiful home, edible and fragrant farm walking tour, and the delicious dining experience executed by Chef Alicia, this was an unforgettable moment. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic Dining Experience!

A wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery on the drive up. Fields of sugar cane which were being harvested. Zimbali provided the transportation and our driver was great. We enjoyed the farm tour. The retreat is beautiful. Colorful and relaxing. Our dinner was excellent and we really enjoyed the farm to table meal prepared with fresh ingredients. Yum! Highly recommend Zimbali if you are in Negril.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
