Silky sandy beaches and lush greenery provide the backdrop for a vacation in Ocho Rios. A favourite stop for cruise ships, Ocho Rios strikes a nice balance between beach and fun.
Splash your way to the top of Dunn's River Falls or drive through the amazing vegetation of Fern Gully. Drop into Reggae Explosion or the Bob Marley Centre in Nine Mile to get into the island vibe. Raft down the White River, swim with dolphins or take a sunset cruise.
When the cruise ships are docked, the town and beaches can get crowded and busy. On those days try heading to Turtle Beach. Or as an alternative, stay at nearby Runaway Bay where there are a handful of excellent resorts.
All-inclusive vacation packages which include flight, hotel, food and drinks are the most common. However there are a few smaller hotels that are not all-inclusive. Either way, resorts in Ocho Rios tend to be more expensive so it pays to book early to take advantage of any early booking bonuses.
