Activities and Recreation at Riu Ocho Rios

Jamaica is an incredible vacation spot offering many ways to keep busy, no matter what your personality is. The Riu Ocho Rios is an excellent property for guests who want to stay entertained and try their hand at new activities.

Water and Fitness

Because the hotel has 2 pools to choose from, you should have no trouble claiming enough space for your group. If you're not fond of swimming, the hotel's whirlpool provides a different way to enjoy the water.

Guests of this hotel won't have to put their exercise routines on pause; you'll find everything you need at their on-site exercise facility.

Tennis

The hotel doesn't have tennis courts on the premises, so tennis fanatics will have to leave their racquets behind or choose a hotel elsewhere.

So this option isn't for you? No problem. Just take a look at these hotels with tennis: the Sandals Dunns River Resort and the Jewel Dunn's River Beach Resort & Spa.

Watersports

This hotel does not offer any watersports of its own, but in an area full of beach-happy tourists, it won't be hard to find vendors with plenty of watersports supplies.

Family Activities

Vacationers traveling with children are more than welcome to stay at the Riu Ocho Rios, but there aren't a lot of family-oriented amenities. To find hotels better suited for those traveling with kids, don't miss properties rated best for family vacations.

The hotel has a playground, which keeps even their littlest guests grinning. It is one of the safest places for children to release some energy while the grown-ups rest on the sidelines. A children's program, with activities to entertain your kids, is available at this hotel as well.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Guests who look forward to live entertainment just steps from their hotel rooms might be disappointed; the Riu Ocho Rios doesn't provide live entertainment.

While live entertainment isn't an option, you'll find several places on the property to enjoy a beverage or two.

Since there is a casino on the property, gambling is yet another way to stay entertained after dark. Nearby is another hotel with a casino worth visiting, the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa. It is about 4.3 miles east of the Riu Ocho Rios.

Spa

Not all accommodations in Jamaica feature on-site spas, but the Riu Ocho Rios is one of a few that can provide their guests a fun (sometimes necessary) way to get properly pampered. The chart below lists some of the spa services that are available:

Other Recreation

Jamaica offers so much to do and see, so you aren't restricted to the recreational options the hotel offers on its property. From a day spent dozing under the palm trees, to some quality time in town, each visitor can plan their own ideal experience.
