I've stayed at both Treehouse and CC. I liked Treehouse better and for a few reasons: 1) Buffet breakfast - varied and all good. I got a little bored with CC breakfast off the menu. 2) a little more activity at Treehouse - jerk chicken hut, water sports, guest reception on Sat nights. 3) My bed at CC was rock hard. 4) beach lounge chairs at Treehouse in better shape than CC.
I think I know what's lacking at White Sands. We stay there as the price is hard to beat and the rooms are quite nice. But here's the deal, the rooms are renovated to western standards. When you're in the room and the doors are closed you could be in any hotel room anywhere. In all the other mentioned resorts you still know you are in Jamaica when your in the room because Jamaica is designed into the room, lots of local character. We find if we open the doors to the balcony, and every room has one, you let Jamaica back in and it's all good. That just our opinion anyway.

We are normally cliff dwellers, but we have an opportunity to take a short trip at the end of May this year. We are looking at CCLP, want to try something new. My question is, are the beach resorts and Coco in particular as "cool" as the cliff resorts. We like to indulge in Jamaicas finest and have no issues on the cliffs. Will we be disappointed staying on the beach.
The beach is fine, however there's more family's on the beach, so you may need to be a bit discreet at times. If there are children nearby, I usually just take a walk or hang out at one of the little bars to burn one or a few. Sitting on our balcony is another favorite spot.
Greg,
We were in Negril in 2016 and going back this year. The day we were there we stopped at the treehouse and met people and they let us hang out there all day and we just got one bucket of Big Red. We had our own cooler. Place was nice people were so friendly, But we did not get hassled by vendors,,But looking forward to SATP this year,,
