Unless you need a luxury resort with lots of amenities, Grand Pineapple is a great choice. They only have 65 rooms and they do book up way in advance. I stayed there for the first time in Feb 2011, and it was my 20th trip to Negril. I booked my 2012 trip while I was still at GP. The staff is wonderful and very friendly. The location is excellent and the experience was above average, and I was traveling alone. I was lucky enough to meet 7 other people and we all will be returning to spend our next vacation together at Grand Pineapple in 2012. I really loved the trip and it was one of the best times I ever had in Negril. If you stay across the road, don't even worry about crossing the road. They have 24/7 crossing guards to stop the traffic so you can cross safely. Go for it!
