Ocho Rios
Cliff-top Hibiscus Lodge on the edge of town offers simple rooms with sea views decorated in breezy Caribbean colors. The more expensive rooms also have large balconies. All guests, however, can enjoy the three acres of tropical gardens and private sunning deck and pool area that looks out to the bay.
A small gallery of contemporary Jamaican art complements the main building nicely, along with the excellent Almond Tree Restaurant, which can accepts nonguests for dinner.
