We purchased an excursion from the website ( duns river falls and VIP beach club). The falls were amazing, VIP beach club was not so much VIP but they really did try. They had the tour guide serve the food and drinks for our group of 11. We had two teenagers and everything they brought out had alcohol. We were not able to get any water during our last 3 courses and that's really what bothered me. I just think the server needed a little help but overall great experience. The beach was gorgeous the sand was supper soft but hard to walk long distances because you just sink in it. Very beautiful view of the ocean.

Jamaica was nice. Just be aware of everyone giving you presents, those presents cost. We went to Margarita ville and my husband bought a tank top priced at 28.00 and he was charged 38.00. We are guessing the FREE margarita was put into the price of the tank top. We did the VIP package at Margaritaville for 49.00, this included 2 beach loungers, an umbrella, a coolers to keep our drinks cold and 2 free margaritas. We could have gotten away paying a lot less but it was still nice.

Nothing too exciting about Ocho Rios. I was kind of turned off by all the little roadside stands right outside the gates when you're walking into town. The area can't be avoided as the tour buses and taxis are parked in the middle of this spot. The people running the roadside stalls were aggressive and pushy in trying to sell you their things. They would grab you and pull you to their stalls no matter how many times you said "No". We stopped at Margaritaville - the service was a little slow for how dead the restaurant was. Margaritaville had a pool on the outside deck portion of the restaurant and had a private beach area so you could walk right out to the water. This port of call definitely left something to be desired.

Good port. I've heard different things about different ports but this one was pretty easy and safe. We went to Blue Hole and it was so fun. Watch out for your personal belongings once you're on the trek. Leave anything locked up that you don't absolutely need with you.

Had a great time on the island. beautiful beaches and scenery. We did the dunn river falls excursion, and after we were done with the falls we went to the beach for some drinks. Also stopped at the taj Mahal shopping center for a little shopping before the trip. The jamaican people are really pushy when it comes to trying to get you to buy things so beware. Some off them are cool about it, but some may get mad. All in all a beautiful island and beautiful people
