Tips for Coco LaPalm

[nutz4travel]

Considering Coco for this June, bringing GF and her two adult children (18 & 19). All three are newbies.
1) How would you compare Coco to Travelers? (Some of the internet package deals are almost too good to pass up on Travelers).
2) Does Coco include a continental breakfast?
3) Any rooms or buildings too close to Norman Manley Blvd? Traffic noise would be a big problem.
Thanks,

Haven't stayed at Travelers, so I can't help with #1

2) Yes, continental breakfast is included. Your choice of juice, coffee or tea, banana bread (sooooo good), toast and some pastries. Some people get fruit instead of the bread I think? If you want to order something off the menu, they deduct $5 US from the bill
3) Sadly, yes. There are a few rooms right by the office. We were in 116 once (junior suite beside the office) and you could really hear the road noise. I wouldn't think they'd be full in June, so I'd just request a room as close to the beach as possible.

The superior rooms are the only ones with a covered patio, which are great in case of rain.

The beach at Coco is far superior to the beach at Travellers and is far better located, keeping in mind you want to stay on the beach.

Should also keep in mind the river sewage back-up into the ocean especially after a storm... I've seen it really really bad down by Travellers- but no trace at CCLP..Definitely something to consider...

That "run off" as you call it is from the morass, which naturally creates that color. Any "run off" from a storm would be from the farming up the hills beyond the Great Morass. The treatment plant was designed with hurricanes in mind - there is no "sewage back-up' unless there are incredibly heavy rains for several days as a hurricane would produce and a warning would be made. A storm would NEVER produce that.

Please lets keep the facts straight.

Here is a link explaining the issue that was started by someone at Coco...

How far is it from Coco to the cambio in Negril? Easy to walk to??

It's not a quick walk, but I've read there is a cambio next to Bourbon Beach. We always just taxi to the Scotia Bank at the roundabout.
