I stayed there a few years back when I was on a limited budget, also during the New Year's holiday (12/27-1/9), & it was a good deal... good location, safe, close to beach & town, etc. I'd just had shoulder surgery & it was a good place to stay. I felt very safe, was comfortable, although the humidity bothered me (no AC in my room but I had an indoor shower). For a budget stay, you can't go wrong. The Yoga Centre is funky in a good way. Was around 26+ years ago when I first started going to Negril, it was a highly recommended place then for the "hippie" traveler. I used to be one but that was 20 years before I started going to Negril - LOL.
