Help with Jamaica (Ocho Rios)

The excursions offered on our November Century Western Caribbean Cruise just became available. My wife has knee problems, so Dunns river falls it definitely out, we like to do snorkeling, and beach, and rum punch, excursions but nothing much is being offered. From what I have been reading I'm not sure I want to just walk arounf town. Does anyone know a safe beach to go to?? I'm thinking of a protected hotel beach?? Help!!

It is a quick cab ride to Renaissance Grande Hotel. Decent beach, great pool, minimum charge for chair rental and towels. Food and drink is everywhere. I often choose to hang there when in Ocho Rios on a ship.

have fun!

Yes, I emailed Sandals and they said to just take a cab there and it is $40 per person for the entire day...including all restaurants, all drinks, snorkel gear and other equipment, etc.... The only thing not included are any massages, golf, and a room.


Enjoy.

I would suggest either Sandals or Margaritaville. Margaritaville has a nice beach and it's a short walk from the port. Sandals is a more adult friendly environment if you want a more quiet day away from kiddies. Snorkeling in Jamaica is the pits, you might see a little but it's definately not the place to be for great snorkeling.

Thanks everyone,we just want the beach no snorkeling so I think Sandels will do well for us.
