Jamaica is an island in the Greater Antilles and is located 150 kilometres south of Cuba and 160 kilometres west of Haiti. Jamaica is the largest of the West Indian islands. It has an area of 11,424 square kilometers, and is 243 kilometers long. Jamaica is a lush tropical island in the heart of the Caribbean. The most striking physical feature of Jamaica is its mountainous nature. Nearly half the island is over 300 metres above sea level. Kingston is the capital and the largest city of Jamaica and the country's chief port, it has one of the finest harbors in the West Indies and exports sugar, rum, molasses, and bananas.
Ocho Rios is located in St. Ann's parish about 60 miles from Annotto to Discovery Bay on a half-moon shaped cove in the middle of Jamaica's northern coastline. It was formerly a fishing port and was also known for its banana exports. Now it is a pretty resort town with stunning waterfalls and beaches and interesting colonial-period buildings like the Geddes Memorial Church and the Anglican Church.
Some say the lush northern coast of Jamaica is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Where the rolling hills of the St. Ann Mountains sweep down to the pristine white-sand beaches of a calm bay known as The Ocho Rios Riviera, an area aptly named for its revered sophistication. Flawlessly located amidst this tropical paradise, Royal Plantation Golf Resort and Spa, set on 17 acres of exquisitely manicured tropical gardens, is a splendid seclusion for those who are serious about taking life easy, yet desirous of every refinement. Offering just 77 luxurious suites, all with stunning ocean views, it has the intimacy of an elegant private villa and the panache of a world-class resort of the highest caliber.
