Jamaica: Ocho Rios Resorts

Ocho Rios one of the major travel destinations in the world. It is nestled between luxuriant hillside gardens and the glistening turquoise waters of the Caribbean. It was the first Jamaican town to be specifically turned into a resort. One of this area's highlights is Dunn's River Falls, which is a much-photographed and climbed attraction. You can swim underneath in the chilly water of the falls, or make the climb to the top. Other landmarks include Eden Falls and Fern Gully, a rock filled gorge that twists and turns for miles up the coast. It is in the last twenty years that Ocho Rios has grown from a small town into a thriving tourist resort. It is filled with fast food chains, duty free stores, clubs, bars and restaurants. Its harbors also provide a home for visiting cruise ships.
