Willemien Posted May 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Has anyone done the Resort for the day option here? It seems to me that the town itself is not very safe. Therefore, we are thinking of the All inclusive adult Jewel Paradise Cove. Are specifically interested in the snorkeling & glass bottom boat excursions here. Any information? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottaluvcruises12 Posted May 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2017 When we stopped there a few years back they told us to stay close to the port because of crime. Why they still go there I have no idea. I would suggest doing an excursion which one I am unsure. When we went, we went to one of there beaches and chilled out it. No Problems.

SuiteTraveler Posted May 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2017 harleyfatboy means Mahogany Beach. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g147312-d7694638-Reviews-Mahogany_Beach-Ocho_Rios_Saint_Ann_Parish_Jamaica.html Jewel Paradise Cove is lovely and I think you would enjoy it. We went there last time we were in Jamaica. It is actually a Hilton property and the employees were very nice and helpful - could not do enough for us.

sfaaa Posted May 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The immediate port area is well patrolled by police and appears safe. Venture further out and you may be on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROCRUISE Posted May 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 26, 2017 A lot of people climb Dunn's Falls here which is fun however, getting out of the place, due to the physically aggressive vendors, is a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted May 26, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The falls were good once- Ocho Rios - like most of Jamaica -is fairly unpleasant outside of gated resorts. Because staying aboard while in one port is generally relaxing, that is what we do on Jamaica calls - many other islands have comparable/better beach day opportunities at less/no cost.

Rare bajae Posted May 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted May 27, 2017 We will be stopping there in August. Plan on doing Blue Hole and Shaw Garden, I think. We arranged a private tour so they will take us where ever we want. Found one with lots of good reviews online so I'm trusting them to help us pick some sites to see.

OCruisers Posted May 27, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Not real fond of port stops in Jamaica ... but of the three Ocho Rios is our favorite. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
