Hey crew have a question for you. Other than Rooms does anyone know of a resort that offers a room equipped with a balcony view facing Norman Manley Blvd? I keep my eyes peeled every year to no avail...I'm sure my nearsightedness does not help :) Thanks much and a happy, healthy, prosperous 2012 to each and everyone of you.
Traveler's nicest room has this feature.. actually has two balconies, facing both sides..
I stay at Golden Sunset - across the road from Alfred's and they have wonderful balconies.

Thank you much txraider and SLP!
we stay at ROOMS and always get a room overlooking the road, my brother says it is the worst room, but i get 1st daylight and watch real jamaica happen while i let lisa sleepin till 7 ish, soon come
When I first read this I wondered why anyone would want to be close to the road. I usually try to get a room as far away from that road as possible - it is so noisy and it goes around the clock.
To each his/her own I guess.

we watch guys riding horses down the strip, 3 people on a motorcycle made for 2, big dump trucks with 8 people standing in the back, jamaicans driving 3 wide on a 2 wide strip, we see the beach all day, soon come
robcurry...we always loved that same room when it was the Negril Inn. Oh the many sights we saw thru the years...so entertaining! The air con would drown out the noise when rest was needed.
I stayed in a room at Footeprints that had a nice view of the road. It was actually a neat people-watching spot.
I love running the road early in the morning (6 a.m.). Few taxis, people going to or leaving work, not crowded, 99.5% non-tourists. I feel like it's my private time with the people of Jamaica.
I believe The Rayon may also have rooms with balconies facing the road. Check Tripadvisor pictures.
White Sands also has a few balconies that have a street view.
ooohh i love the rayon...think it may have a seating area balcony overlooking the road....?
The last room I'd want is one facing the "beach road". Too noisy all the time.
Several years ago I did a short stay and stayed at LTU in a room facing the road (West End Road). That part of the road quiets down considerably later in the evening and sitting on my balcony and watching Negril wake up in the morning was always a treat. Plus, I'd get to spy on the bar and see who was there that I might want to go down and drink with.
I get the point of enjoying the goings on but during high season - not if your hearing is at all sensitive. A few years ago I stayed in Golden Sunset's 2nd floor room closest toward the road and sometimes it was way too noisy for me, a constant droning for hours at times. Their fan-only rooms a bit further back on the property would be a mellower location.
never had a problem with noise at ROOMS, between the a/c and the sliding balcony door cannot hear a thing, and we are right near the jungle, great when you are waiting for your driver for p/u, great to let lisa sleep in till 7 a.m. , i just sit on the balcony, enjoy my fresh squeezed o.j. , and blue mountain coffee and a great smoke, just watching real jamaica happen, soon come
