Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Chill Out in Jamaica: Chill out amongst the 5 swimming pools of your hotel and spend romantic evenings wandering along the fine white sand beaches of Ocho Rios. Go scuba diving or visit Fern's Gulley or climb Dunns River Falls. This is a holiday of a lifetime because it brings together so many superb ingredients in one unforgettable Dance Holiday.

Ocho Rios is a town on the northern coast of

Jamaica

well known for scuba diving, water sports, and exuberant nightlife. It is also known as the home of Dunn's River Falls. This is a popular attraction that is visited by thousands of visitors each year. Dunn's River Falls cascades down an approximate distance of 600 feet into the sea. Fed by springs located in the hills above, visitors take pleasure in 'climbing' the falls as the water rushes around them.

There are a number of good restaurants, a lively night club scene at Margaritaville as well as the nation's two most popular attractions in Jamaica --Dunn's River Falls (described above) and Dolphin Cove, where visitors are able to swim and interact with dolphins.

The hotel has more than seventy years of history and is Cuba’s flagship hotel.
