Advantages: Lots of different restaurants and bars Disadvantages: hassle to buy ganja from the locals
My husband and I got married at the jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios. This is a fantastic resort with lots of restaurants and bars. The chinese restaurant in particular is vey good although they do change the menu quite a lot so if you find something you really like it doesn't mean it will be on the menu again! The hotel rooms are nicely furnished but one of the best things is that you get free bath & body works toiletries ( shampoo, conditioner, body ... ...Ocho Rios is that when the cruise ships come in, the american paying guests stay over and they will always get priority in the queue for the bar ( because they give big tips )
Other than that, you will be waited on hand and foot. Dunns river falls is an excellent trip from this resort as it is quite close by. You get to climb up the falls ( which is quite hard work, but worth it ) Oh and you also get the preverbial free rum punch which seems to ...

Advantages: no children, sheer luxury Disadvantages: smallish beach long journey on bus from airport

A romantic 5* couples resort. well furnished rooms, with little extra's. offered drugs as soon as we were out of airport building, as not seasoned travellers were a bit, shocked. trip from airport rather long 2hours, staff at airport wanted to carry luggage, was insulted with $1 so ended up giving $5, mini bus not what we expected and roads the same very hairy journey ,we were ... ...our room, nice airy with filter coffee maker and good air conditioning which we needed. grounds stunning, lots of places to eat main dining room with outside terrace, beach shack serving snack and barbie food, valentino's looking out to sea, which was silver service fab, and they also put tables on beach in the evenings.

Advantages: Beautiful hotel grounds Disadvantages: transport time from airport is long and bumpy ride
a good all inclusive resort, really does include all watersports, very dissppointed with standard of hotel room and smell of greasy cooking when sitting by the pool. staff were extremely freindly and bought drinks to you, it was shame that a lot of the tables were broken.
lots of activites for all ages of children and they were varied on a daily basis, its only fun if people particpate. water aerobics was great.
evening meals were brilliant, choice ... ...but bear in mind children under 16 are not allowed. Evening entertainment was really good, they had a great group and limbo dancers, fashion show for the children to take part was different.
transfer from airport to hotel, is not reccomended if you have young children. ...
