Best rooms

Request a room on a higher floor (4th or above) for a quieter stay. This hotel's 3-star rating suggests a decent level of soundproofing, but street noise from the nearby main road can still be a concern. Asking for a room on a higher floor should minimize the impact of traffic noise. The hotel's elevator is available, but it's likely to be a traditional lift, so you may experience some vibration or slight noise when in use. Consider a room on the east or west side of the building for a more peaceful atmosphere.

Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the pool/garden side (east), away from DaCosta Drive. These upper floors reduce footfall noise from the lobby and restaurant below.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the ground floor, as they may be noisier due to potential street activity and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or lift may experience some noise from staff activity or elevator traffic.

Avoid rooms on floor 1 (street-level reception noise, and service traffic from the driveway) and rooms facing DaCosta Drive — that main road carries through-traffic for Ocho Rios including taxis and tour buses.
