Really you did an excursion that way. Wow geez I hate that drive,I used to slpit my trips 1 week in each local but haven't in about a year or so. I keep swearing i am going to fly between on one of the props or a heli or something but just haven't won the lottery yet so I stay on whichever side my friend is working now and don't venture between.Originally Posted by Thatswhatshesaid
I personally would say there are a lot more excursions to do out of Ochi ( because of the ship port I think) than Negril but Negril you can have a whole new adventure by walking 20 feet down the beach every couple hours so it is a day of excursions in itself.
The RIU in Ochi is a lot nicer than Negril, with a better beach and lots of water excursions right off there own beach a nice location for couples.
Jamaica as an island is awesome and Ochi and Negril are nothing at all alike but you can get the best of both worlds in one island. Negril is more for the wanderer where you find or make your own party, where as Ochi is more structured take an organized tour off your resort kind of thing not really a take to the roads for a day on foot. Ochi I think is best for first time travelers because I do not think the constant hustle occurs there or atleast I have never seen it nearly what Negril has, others feel differently than myself on this. So once someone gets a love for the island by staying inside their resort and leaving in organized activities you then work them over to Negril where it is a make your own vacay and their love for the land over shadows some of the grief of the hustle.
