Cozy 2 of 5 Apartment in the Heart of Ocho Rios

Cozy es un hospedaje ideal para los que desean tener cercano playas, tiendas locales y la parada de buses para ir a Montego o demás lugares de Jamaica. El apartamento era extremadamente lindo, amplio, su cocina super bien equipada, el baño cómodo. La verdad era precioso, además que es extremadamente central para los que gustan de explorar la cidad y los precios más locales, menos para turístas. El bus que venía de Montego nos dejó en el paradero de buses y de ahí al hospedaje era muy cerca caminando. No más de 8 minutos. Habia un poco de ruido por los bares cercanos, pero igual con las ventanas cerradas no era molesto. Tambien fue muy conveniente estar cerca de los paraderos de taxis compartidos, pues para ir a Dunn's River y las Little Dunn's rivers, tomambamos un taxi con varias personas locales más y salia muy económico. Solo es seguir el gps y bajarse en la carretera y subir o bajar unos metros. (no paguen taxi privado, no vale la pena, estas atracciones estan por todo el camino de la carretera principal). Fue una estancia muy grata.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location is great. There are restaurants, supermarkets, also a pub close by. In the building there is also a restaurant and a few stores.

The stairs were a bit challenging for me.

Location was very central. I could walk to the beach, park, restaurants and stores. The building also had various stores such as island grill, clothing stores and hair and nail salons. The host was very responsive and ensured a smooth, relaxing and enjoyable stay. Overall the apartment had good amenities and it was comfortable.

The location was excellent — very central and convenient for getting around, which was one of the best things about the apartment. The people I dealt with were also friendly and, personality-wise, the housekeeper was a lovely lady and security They also seemed willing to be accommodating when guests had unexpected circumstances, which I appreciated.

Unfortunately, there were a few things that made a two-week stay more difficult than I expected. My room was not cleaned during the two weeks I stayed there. I appreciate that I was often out during the day, but I would still have expected some housekeeping during a stay of that length, even if only once or twice a week. I eventually had to ask for clean bed linen, and when it was provided, one of the sheets did not fit the bed. Laundry was another issue. The listing mentioned access to a washing machine and dryer, but in practice these were behind a locked area and could only be accessed when the housekeeper was there. As she was not on site every day and there did not seem to be a clear schedule, this meant I couldn’t simply do my laundry when I needed to. For a two-week stay, this was particularly inconvenient. The apartment also has very limited ventilation. There are no normal windows, and clothes that I tried to wash and dry myself remained damp and developed an unpleasant smell. There is ventilation in the bathroom, but opening the area up also meant dealing with mosquitoes. It is also worth knowing that, because of the very central location, the surrounding area can be quite noisy and there can be loud music. That may not bother everyone, particularly if you are out most of the time, but I wouldn’t personally describe it as a particularly quiet property and families with very young children may want to bear this in mind. Finally, there was some unnecessary stress around payment. I booked through Booking.com based on the payment arrangements shown there, but after arriving I was asked to arrange payment differently, including making a Jamaican bank transfer. As a visitor without a Jamaican bank account, this wasn’t straightforward. There were then messages about payment that I felt were unnecessarily pressuring, despite me being a resident guest and trying to resolve the practical difficulties.
