Other things to note
## The resort town of Ocho Rios showcases a mixed genre of local music which can be heard from a distance and often sets the tone for the weekend nightlife.
During the daytime, the property next door may produce intermittent noise; however, if doors and windows are closed, it will be more tranquil inside.
In general, your stay will be as exciting as you make it.##
## The property is nicely perched on a hill, so come prepared with your sneakers if you're without transport; great for hiking though. You'll surely get some free exercise and stay healthy. ##
Kindly note that we do have flying insects on the outside of the apartment as it is a tropical location. Keep the doors closed to prevent these pests from entering the apartment.
