Is Ocho Rios in Jamaica a nice place to spend a weeks vacation?


Travel Info
I searched it on the internet..The city looked a bit scary. Does anyone have first hand experience about staying there? We are looking to stay at a place capped Fisherman's Point.

Travel Tips
It's very nice, the transfers is what hold alot of people back, you can rent a helicopter which is way faster

Yes Ocho Rios is a recognised tourist area (where you are reasonably safe) as opposed to a non-tourist area where anything might happen. The only problem with Jamaica is the higglers (street traders) who can be very persistent. Many folk living in Kingston dream of one day being able to move to a place like Ocho Rios - much quieter and the city and very beautiful. The nearest city to Ocho Rios is Montego Bay which can be a bit scary even for someone like me who has been to Jamaica several times (to visit family).
Ocho Rios is not scary at all. If you're going to be scared of Ocho Rios then you'd be afraid of your own shadow. It's a lovely town (one of my favourite here) and there's plenty to do. The resorts are beautiful. Come and have fun :-)
On trip advisor it is getting mixed reviews. Go here to read the reviews and see some photos

Ocho Rios is a very toursity area of Jamaica mixed with the locals. It is not a city and the people as most Jamaicans are very friendly.

Depending on the type of vacation you are looking for if beach and sun is what you want then consider Negril.

Ocho Rios has the famous Dunns river Falls and

There is Port Antonio where you can enjoy the country without the toursim
