Everything you need to know about Ocho Rios
Ocho Rios all-inclusive resorts ring Jamaica's adventure coast, where waterfalls tumble into the sea beside Dunn's River Falls, Dolphin Cove and the Blue Hole. If you want to do more than lie on the beach, Ocho Rios is the base, the island's densest cluster of attractions, from climbing Dunn's River Falls to tubing the White River and swimming the secret Blue Hole. Resorts range from big family all-inclusives to adults-only escapes, and cruise ships call here too. Beaches are smaller than Negril's, but the adventure more than makes up for it.

Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover medical care in Jamaica. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.
