Yellow Bird Sea

Some of the staff was great the reception and the bartender was very friendly and the guards at the gate

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! 😍

Great place, great staff, beautiful beach. Highly recommend this wonderful place.

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.

Very quiet and clean staff excellent

A large group of us have been staying at the Yellowbird for 28 years, this being our last. We never stay there because of the accommodations or price, we stayed there because of the staff that always treated every guest like family.Here are some of the reasons you might want to rethink your stay, at least for the next several years. Cottages have been upgraded with walls which increases privacy BUT removes most natural light and breeze. If you need cooking and eating utensils (forks, spoons, plates, pans, etc) you are really on your own. Coffee, toast and breakfast no longer offered. Most of the staff let go, which is understandable because of covid. However, the new owner “summons” the remaining staff by clapping his hands, never using first names. The new owner is there and walking the yard, sitting at the bar but NEVER once talked to the 16 of us while we there. Not that we expected to get chummy but at least a “hello, how is your stay going?”. There are many other reasons to reconsider giving your money to this fellow…but I will stop there. The new owner is going to build a restaurant where Rasta Mikes shack is, bring in his own people for water sports, put at least 2 more hotel buildings on ground. So construction will be ongoing for awhile. He also owns the part of Merrills next to Risky Business, as that is where the property line is. So, many changes coming for this end of the beach.
