Choosing the right resort town based on your interests and planned excursions is key to making the most of your stay. Jamaica’s geography means that not all attractions are easily accessible from every town. For example, traveling from Negril on the western coast to Port Antonio on the eastern side takes about four and a half hours. Similarly, driving from Ocho Rios to Negril takes roughly three hours, making it impractical for day trips during a short vacation.

It is conveniently located just an hour from Montego Bay Airport, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a relaxing yet accessible getaway.

Port Antonio, located in the lush, scenic east, is the birthplace of Jamaican tourism and is now positioning itself as a premier eco-tourism destination. With its pristine waters and natural beauty, Port Antonio has been featured in Hollywood films like Club Paradise and Cocktail, embodying the ideal tropical escape.

Ocho Rios, renowned for its waterfalls and beaches, is only 90 minutes from Montego Bay Airport. It’s home to the famous Dunn’s River Falls and the Blue Hole Secret Falls, making it a top choice for those seeking adventure. Ocho Rios is also close to other eastern gems like Reach Falls and Somerset Falls in nearby Port Antonio.
