Jamaica Grande Resort & Spa
P.O. Box 100, Ocho Rios

paradise. Ocho Rios is located in the heart of the north-coast region

Columbus first landed more than 500 years ago. This charming resort town
is just 90 minutes from the Montego Bay Airport.

and Culture
Visit “Island Village” and sip the local Blue Mountain coffee while
wandering the atmospheric walkways packed with cafes, shopping and the
Bob Marley Experience, a special tribute to the reggae icon.

Shopping
There are six shopping plazas offering everything from Jamaican
handicrafts and souvenirs to duty-free luxury goods. The famous Crafts
Market is situated just steps from the resort.

Activities
Chukka Caribbean Adventures operates some of the wildest and most
fun-filled excursions such as Horse Back Ride n’ Swim, Zion “Bob
Marley” Bus Line, Jeep Safaris, Jungle River Tubing, Original Canopy
Tour, ATV Safari and Downhill Mountain Bike adventures.
Natural
Beauty
One of the island’s best-known natural attractions is Dunn’s River
Falls, a dramatic 600-foot (183-meter) drop of cascading water. A
highlight of any trip to Ocho Rios is a careful climb up its limestone
tiers, followed by a swim at the beach below.
