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.

 

Among Jamaica's big three resorts Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, and Negril, Ocho Rios is considered the least choice resort. This strip of hotel-lined sand cannot compete with the magnificent beaches of Negril and Montego Bay. Additionally, the bar scenes and clubs are somewhat less exciting Nevertheless, while this place may fall a bit short in overall scenic splendor, it compensates with its liveliness and activity, making Ocho Rios a great place to get the wholesome flavor of Jamaica.
