Beaches, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
First Family Trip to Jamaica-June 2017
Experiencing Jamaica through a family lens
Why This Trip Matters:
This trip introduced me to Jamaica as a family destination, not just a couples getaway. It completely changed my perspective on how versatile Jamaica really is.
What Made It Special:
- A true family-friendly atmosphere with activities for all ages
- Waterpark, kids camps, and entertainment included
- A safe, fun environment where both kids and adults could enjoy themselves
My Experience:
Seeing how much there was for kids to do—while still having spaces for adults to relax—was a game changer. It showed me how important it is to find a resort that balances both.
Why It Matters for My Clients:
This trip allows me to confidently guide families looking for an all-inclusive where kids are entertained and parents can still unwind. Not all “family resorts” are created equal—and this helped me understand what truly works.
Resort Update:
This resort is no longer open, but it remains a great example of what to look for in a well-designed family all-inclusive.
Best time to visit
December–April for the best weather ☀️ Summer is great for families but can be warmer 🌴 Fall offers good value, with a higher chance of rain
