It's by the beach. And it's fantastic. The ClubHotel Riu Ocho Rios is like a mini-resort in its own right, offering up loads of action-packed activities and entertainment. You've got volleyball. You've got tennis. There are even scuba-diving trial lessons in the pool! Down on the beach it's the same story. Pull on a mask and flippers for a spot of snorkelling. Climb into a sea kayak and paddle along the coast. Or how about giving windsurfing a go? The kids are well looked after, too. There's a hotel-run miniclub which organises daytime activities and a playground. And the great range of choice extends to dinnertime. There are themed buffets twice a week and you can even book yourself a table in one of the speciality restaurants – there's an a la carte, an Italian and an Asian to choose from. After dinner take your seat in the show lounge and prepare for a flurry of feathers and sequins and if you've got your dancing shoes on, head to the Pacha disco for a night of unadulterated fun. Of course, you may prefer to simply sip a cocktail out on the terrace in the warm evening air or enjoy a nightcap in the Bob Marley bar before you turn in. Whatever you fancy doing, there's plenty to choose from and certainly never a dull moment. However, if you just want to relax and do, well not very much at all, you've come to the right place. Surrounded by palm trees and lush, tropical gardens, the two lagoon-like swimming pools are great if you just want to pull up a sun lounger and lie back in the sun. And for a real taste of paradise, slip on your flip flops, grab a towel and head down to the beach. The hotel faces the soft, white sandy shoreline of Ocho Rios and is the perfect place for some real R&R. And you can continue in this relaxed vein up at the spa - enjoy a soothing massage or unwind in the sauna. Catering for your every whim, the Riu Ocho Rios is just the ticket if you're looking for a beach break in the sun with plenty of facilities on tap.
This hotel is almost a resort in itself, with a superb beachfront location and an array of All Inclusive activities day and night. Spend the days toning up on the tennis court or tanning on the beach, causing a splash doing watersports or sipping cocktails at the swim-up bar. Wind down in the evening as you wine and dine in one of the restaurants and enjoy the sounds and sequins of the evening entertainment.
