Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This is a resort-focused port day, not a town-exploration itinerary. The creator paid $150 for a day pass at the time of the visit; it included round-trip transportation and resort access, but prices and inclusions can change. Book early because passes may sell out, print the pass, and follow its exact instructions for the pickup point. Keep the return-meeting instructions handy: the shuttle ride was about 10 minutes, and the driver arranged a pickup time and place. Bring identification for check-in; the resort issued a wristband and towel card.

What is in this plan

Day 1 — RIU Ocho Rios Resort Day

Use the printed pass to confirm the correct pickup point and resort check-in details. The creator described a lengthy check-in, so allow time for it before settling in. The shuttle driver gave the group a specific return meeting place and time; confirm those details before leaving the resort.

  1. RIU Ocho RiosRIU Ocho Rios, Mammee Bay, Jamaica

    The creator used a Resort for a Day pass that cost $150 at the time and included round-trip transportation and resort access. Passes may sell out, so book ahead and print the pass to show before boarding and at the hotel. The ride was about 10 minutes; confirm your own pickup and return instructions.

    Pause at the sports bar for a drink and a break from the sun. It was quiet during the creator’s midday visit, who thought it would feel livelier in the evening or when a good game is on.

    The resort has a family-friendly pool as well as a separate pool the creator identified as adults-only. This is the family-friendly option mentioned during the visit.

    The creator thought this was the adults-only pool and noted that neither pool seemed crowded during the visit. Check the pool signage when you arrive to confirm access rules.

    Pepe's Food serves jerk chicken from a barbecue stand, grilled and cut up in front of you. The creator also praised the beans and rice, so this is a good stop when the stand opens around the middle of the day.

    Finish with time on the resort beach: the creator found chairs available and highlighted the clear blue-green water and ocean views. Leave room to relax rather than trying to rush through the day.

    The resort has areas for volleyball and water aerobics. These are optional active breaks between pool and beach time.
