If your ideal Jamaican holiday starts with sand underfoot and the Caribbean at the door, these three five-star properties in Ocho Rios are built around the shoreline. One is an all-suite hideaway, one is an adults-only resort, and one is a family-friendly resort with a water park. Each has its own character, so you can match the stay to the trip you have in mind.
Every hotel here qualifies as beachfront, with direct beach access or a private beach area, and holds a five-star rating. We then looked at the water activities, spa and wellness options and the types of traveler each one suits.
