Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.
Concierge "While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."

Many Europeans choose this as their Caribbean outpost, creating a cacophony of mother tongues around the pool.
Fodor's "This quiet, family-run hotel is on one of the nicest parts of Negril Beach. It's built hacienda-style around a central courtyard, where there's a round swimming pool and a lush garden." Full review
