Getting ready to book at NBCC...pros and cons of booking downstairs vs upstairs....Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
Can't wait!! March please come soon!! Its in the single digits in GA. I know its colder elsewhere but we are not used to this!!
I prefer the bottom (floor that is). I like to run back to my room often throughout the day. More privacy on second and third floors.
I had a room on the third floor. Very quiet and the view from the balcony was great. Only con was dragging luggage up and down stairs.
Have stayed there many times (50) over the years, often for weeks at a time. As a single female & one who keeps a low profile... no ground floor, always 2nd or 3rd. Pros & cons to both ground floor & upper floor rooms. More privacy up, lots of foot traffic if you're on the garden downstairs. I've also known people who have had items swiped from their patios (ironically, most frequently by other tourists - go figure) even when they're in their rooms. Also more likely to have a break in. These occur anywhere in Negril from time to time but ground floor access is easier w/ the way the property is set up. When there are mosquitoes... they don't usually fly up to 2nd & 3rd floor rooms, lol. They hang around water & foliage. As for hauling luggage... I don't so that's not an issue. If you have joint or knee issues the ground floor is better. If you exercise common sense a ground floor room is safe. I know Jean normally books women traveling solo in 2nd & 3rd floor rooms but will honor a ground floor request. I know several regulars who stay solo & on the ground floor but there are good reasons for that (health issues mainly). Hope this helps. It's a great property. I'll be there soon. :cool:
Me and hubs be traveling together. He was actually the one who chimed in about more secure on the upper two floors. Me, stairs, and alcohol don't usually mix well anyways. I will just say it, I am clumsy as hell when I have had a few. I think I grow another foot to trip over. I don't have any real photographic proof of this, but I do have photos of past damage (bruises only thank goodness!) to my body!! LOL. Right now I am looking at J12...its close to the beach....
Got your PM. Response sent.
I agree with all the comments and advice above. If you do want to proceed with a ground floor room, J12 is a great location!
What hotel is NBCC ?
Negril Beach Club Condos, the Beach Club. Next to Errol's, near Travellers toward town, Beach House Villas on the other side.
