Choosing between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay in Jamaica can feel tricky — both have incredible resorts, beaches, and experiences. But the choice can dramatically impact the vibe of your romantic getaway.
Ocho Rios is lush, green, and filled with natural beauty. Resorts like Sandals Dunn’s River and Sandals Ochi are surrounded by waterfalls, tropical gardens, and rivers. Adventure lovers will find themselves in paradise, with hiking trails, river tubing, and the ability to explore nearby waterfalls. The resorts here can feel expansive, so there’s always a quiet corner to escape to, but also have plenty of options for dining and activities. Plus they also offer exchange privileges meaning you can stay at one and visit the other.
Montego Bay on the other hand is classic Caribbean. White-sand beaches, turquoise water, and vibrant pool areas make it perfect for couples who want that iconic beach vacation. Resorts like Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean blend lively social spaces with private nooks for romance. The airport is close by, which makes travel days simpler and more relaxing.
When deciding, consider if you want nature and adventure, or classic beach vibes? How important is proximity to excursions, nightlife, or airport access? Sometimes splitting your stay between two resorts (one in Ocho Rios, one in Montego Bay) gives you the best of both worlds!
