Anika's Recommendations
Our Neighborhood
A few must-knows about the area.
We're located in Norbrook. The neighborhood is quiet and is fairly central. You can easily access the community via main roads; Constant Spring and Barbican Road.
Our stay is located just off the community's main thoroughfare; Norbrook Road. Public Transportation can be easily accessed and both buses and taxis pass by routinely. We however recommend, if its your first time to the island, that you utilize the recommended driver contacts included on the Directory in the Suite.
Though regarded as one of the 'safer/safest' neighbourhoods in Jamaica, and a relatively quick walk (25 mins) from shopping, we ask that you be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. We do not recommended walking in the evenings or nights alone in general as a first-time visitor to the island.
