New building is integrated into the whole complex extremely well. It hugs the south lot line, just south of the beach front pool. Not intrusive at all. Owners are Minnesota contractors with many years of experience. From what I heard the entire project, from the initial demolition to the grand opening of the new rooms, was less then 12 months. That is warp speed for a project of this quality in Jamaica.
stayed in one of the new rooms in February, the room was nice but no balcony or seating outside, bad design. I would not stay in one of those rooms again.
Trip #59 most of February
At the prices we paid for the rooms I could stay there for a month. Great deal including breakfast for two. We spend so little time in or near our room the lack of balcony or outside seating was of ZERO concern to us. We have stayed in the Junior Suites and the larger Suites on the 2nd floor of the original CCLP before and, for US, found it to be a huge waste of money. We head to the beach first thing in the morning and do not return to the room until we are done for the day. If we are going to sit and read, it is on the beach. If we are going to sit somewhere and have a relaxing cocktail, it is on the beach. If we are going to sit or lay down and relax or snooze, it is on the beach. But again that was us. Different strokes for different folks. I have a beautiful lanai and a large deck over the water at home and sit there all the time. However we do not have a beach in our back yard. When it Negril it is feet in the sand all the time.
There are some activities, such as the cleaning and prep of subs, that can't be done on the beach, that's where a nice private balcony or veranda comes in handy.

Miss G's sister had one of those rooms and just upgraded as soon as they saw it. Wound up in the Coco Villa on the beach
My opinion was that the room could be in any Marriot anywhere. Just a hall way with door on each side.
The villa on the other hand was .......
linston@redplate-negril.com
Spliff deck....
Will be in the villa on the 9th. I've stayed in the villa when it was upstairs and down really nice.
We stayed in March - the new rooms on 3rd floor facing south. it had a nice big balcony, very private. Rooms are more hotel-like but nice. its a bit of a hike - lots of stairs but I was ok with it.
We booked one of the Coco suites on the third floor. If we aren't cool with it in July, and if there's vacancy, we will upgrade. No big deal. I really did like those new balconies, though!
We will be at Coco on Wednesday. Can't wait.
