Royal Plantation Resort







A wonderful resort in the Ocho Rios area of Jamaica is Royal Plantation Resort. It is a very small, intimate resort with fabulous service and dining, and golf nearby. It is a colonial style adult-only resort located approximate 1/2 mile from the main area of Ocho Rios. There are only 75 guest suites with four-poster beds, CD players, and some have spa tubs. This resort can be all-inclusive, or European plan, if you want to get out and explore other restaurants in the area.

Ocho Rios is also a great area for activities outside the resort. I was lucky to experience Rafting on the Rio Grande on a bamboo raft. It is a very quiet serene ride with beautiful natural surroundings. There are a few little stands on the way where you can get a fresh coconut milk drink or even a Red Stripe if you like.

Another great activity is to climb Dunns River Falls. It is a multi-tiered waterfall, and everyone holds hands and climbs it together. You can stop along the way, and your guide will take pictures. Be sure to bring aqua sox or Tiva sandals to wear, since the rocks can be very slippery.
