I have been to Negril 4x and am now giving Ocho Rios a whirl and need advice badly.

ocho rios is a tourist place but it is a little town that has a human dimension where you can do everything walking...the 3 waterfalls that can be visited are especially beautiful,the place is full of rivers and waterfalls!
there is a very pretty beach in a natural setting called reggae beach that looks like a pirate beach, this is after white river on the road to oracabessa, a place absolutely beutiful!
to be smart do not go to attractions on a cruiseship day!
i am recomanding the turtle river falls and gardens, as pretty as the dunn s river falls but nobody is advertising this place!!

the place called COYABA is a place above the town where there is another waterfall and nice gardens, and a very interesting little museum about jamaican history with certain things from arawak and slavery times, plus the entrance fee is not so expensive, 10 dollars us.. there is a spot with a panoramic view where nice pictures can be taken from..further down you can go too to the shaw park gardens, splendid gardens with a waterfall too..
plus ocho rios is a central place,one day excursions are possible to a lot of places, like nine miles, kingston, portland..
