Ocho Rios Travel Forum

I will be traveling to Ocho Rios in April. My wife and I would like to see some reggae concerts. Where can I find a list of artists that will be playing at this time in and around the Ocho Rios area?

Hello friends

First time poster.

I have been doing lots of research in Ocho Rios and the surrounding areas. I narrowed it down to the sunset grande but after reading reviews, am slightly resistant.

I plan to travel there dec 29-jan 2 and want to ask my girl to marry me.

Is this a good place to do so? Can they give me a private dinner on the beach or some other special accomodation?

Also applevacations looks to be the best booking site, any advice on this/

thank you in advance

I will be in Montego Bay on the 23rd of February and would like to know how I can get tickets for the Smile Jamaica Concert at James Bond Beach in Ocho Rios. I believe Ziggy Marley will be singing. What is the best method of transportation to Ocho Rios from Mo Bay in the evening? Thanks, Dawn

Can anyone advise as to the best way to get from Kingston to Ocho Rios? The only way we know is to rent a car. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Does anyone know how to get to the Shaw Gardens from the Port in Ocho Rios? A map would be helpful. Have not received a response from gardens.

thank you.

i just rented a villa for my family. i am now reading reviews on jamaica and ocho rios . i am worried about the safety issues. has anyone rented a private villa and how was the experience.

Can anyone tell me if there are specific days when there are no ships in port in Ochos Rios. We are going soon and wish to book tours and would like to see dolphin cove on a day when it is not so busy. Any other tips would be useful. We will be leaving in about 3 weeks and want to make the most of our experience. Hope to hear from some of you.

Hi, I visit Ocho Rios every other week and would like to go swim perhaps at a YWCA or Community Pool or gym etc sometime during the day. Between 11am to 3pm preferably. Is there such a place near the Cruise Ship Terminal??

Thanks a ton!!

What's the best way to book ground transfer from the Montego Bay airport to Ocho Rios? How much does it usually cost?
My hotel offers transportation for $25 US per person one way ($50 US/ person round trip).
Should I take the hotel offer or just wait and get transportation once I get to the airport?
Thanks!

Hi,
I want to visit the Dunns River Falls by myself in April.
It is easy to WALK from the Cruise Ship Pier to the Dunns River Falls.
how long and how far? Is it a good idea to do so? Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Hi Everyone I have a question. How hard is it to get from where the cruise ship docks to Dunn's River Falls? We want to see the falls but we dont want to pay 70 bucks for an excursion. We also want to go to a beach for families. Can any one suggest a good beach close to wear cruise ship docks. Thanks a ton,
Jennifer

Just curious...average prices for ground transportation from RIU Ocho Rios to places around Ocho or to MoBay, Stringray City etc. Any deals/good companies? Also...whats it like getting into Jamaica at customs? Leaving US? Are there dogs to sniff out drugs etc? (just looking to bring some personal ganja with me)

My in-laws have chosen to send me and my fiance (we are both 26) to SGOR for our honeymoon this summer. We have conisdered late May or June. When would a good time be to go? We have also been considering turning this trip into a destination wedding as our guest list seems to be growing longer by the day. =) So we have been researching all that would be needed to just have a small wedding there.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks. We have never been to Jamaica, so been reading alot of forums. Have been reading tons of reviews but they are conflicting- so would appreciate info from those that have been there =) Thanks...

Hello, my boyfriend and I are getting married at Grand Ocho Rios during march break. If anyone has been through this experience, I would love some advice.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Ok, a friend and I are going on a cruise in June, and one of the ports we stop in is Ocho. We were going to do a shore excursion, but thought since the jazz festival is going on the same time we'd be there, that we wouldn't do any excursions, and just chill for the day. We just want to know where we could get some ganja from. We are only going to be there a few hours, but we really want to find the best way to go about tryin out the native herbs.

Staying at Jamaica Inn for the first time. Do we take the meal plan or not? It's fairly pricey...$180/day for 2 (MAP)

Hello all! It's time to get out of the cold!! I will be traveling to Riu Ocho Rios the first week of April and am curious if any other single 35-40 year olds will be there. Thanks!

Has anyone ever stayed at this hotel?
What is it like?
How about the surrounding area of Ocho Rios?
Did anyone get hassled by the locals on the beach?

Has anyone stayed at the Sunset Jamaica Grand recently since it's refurbishment. If so is as good as I've heard. I'm there for two weeks in April, can anyone tell what not to miss, ie. sight seeing on the island.

Hi.. I will be spending 4 nights in Ocho Rios during 19-23 November and I would to stay at Rooms on the Beach Ocho Rios. I like this hotel 'cause it's not an all-inclusive resort and it's close to the center.

Q1) Any feedback on this hotel?
Q2) What is the hotel contact details. I would like to book directly with the hotel.
Q3) I will be landing at KIN at 22:30 and would like to go straight to Ocho Rios. Any reliable transportation from KIN-Ocho Rios?

Many thanks
