Best rooms

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.

Request upper floors (3rd or 4th) at the rear of the building, away from Ocho Rios’ main coastal road. These offer better chance of ocean glimpses and less street noise.

Rooms to avoid

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.

Ground or first-floor rooms facing the street. The address 'Ocho Rios' puts you near the main A3 highway through town, so lower front rooms pick up traffic rumble and late-night local traffic.
