Myettes is square in the middle of everything and very nice rooms. The Elm is almost next door and a bit more down scale but great location and people. The Cottages are not far off the beach and allow you to get away from the social whirl if you need a break. Especially on a two cruise ship day and late nights when a DJ is working Quito's. Another alternative might be Indigo House. Right on the beach but a bit removed from the noise. (Except for cruise ship days when it is best to be as far from the beach at CGB as possible.)
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

Nothing in CGB is very far off the beach. It would not hurt my feelings or sensibilities in the least to have to wear my flip-flops to cross the narrow strip of roadway that exists at CGB to access the beach, I probably walk just as far from my back door to my car at home, and half of the year that is through snow.
Being of generally the same age, I'd probably prefer to have some buffering distance from late evening entertainment, even if it may be quite GOOD entertainment. If I'm done by 9 or 10 PM, I'm done. Old farts still have fun, sometimes we just don't make every day a marathon.
One thing that happens in CGB, as well as other places in the islands, is that the roosters DO wake you up early regardless of what time you went to bed.
Everything in CGB is close enough to the beach to have sand between your toes.

I love Myett's for the staff and the location. Last couple of times we've stayed at Sandman's Grand K Suites tho - it's right next to Bobby's and just behind Myett's. You are still considered a Myett's guest there, so you can still use their chairs, towels etc. And you get a beautiful condo for about the same price as a hotel room. Saves $$ if you do breakfast and lunch on your own and just go out for dinner.
It's not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Columbus Apartments are in a quieter part of CGB. Set back from the road, they are clean, well-maintained and comfortable. The store/bar is right next door, and the beach is easily accessible by a short sandy walkway just across the street. Rose and Sky will make you very welcome.
Similar votes for Rhymer's, closer to the beach, but more nighttime noise. Nice deck for morning coffee.
Both very reasonably priced. Myett's nice but more $$.
You choose..!
Woof woof!

Sorry I'm so late to jump on this thread. We are a 60-70ish couple and have stayed in CGB in various places once or twice a year over the years, as recently as 2014. I just wanted to mention CGB Cottages, as well as Myett's and Mongoose Apts. Loved them all. We had no problem with noise at Myett's. CGB Cottages are lovely and we liked feeling like we were in a neighborhood, watching locals walking by to school, work, etc, as we sat on the open air patio or in the open air dining room. Easy walk from there to the beach, beach chairs provided, and short walk down to the hubbub of the bars and restaurants. They are right next door to Columbus Apts. and Columbus Bar which has a mini-mart with grocery and alcohol items. Mongoose Apartments are equally lovely with WONDERFUL on-site owners and you feel like you're in a jungle. I'd be happy to share pics with you if you haven't booked yet and need more info.
