As one of our most iconic attractions, Dunn’s River sees its fair share of visitors, a mixed bag of locals and visitors, on a daily.

Do you have climbing the Dunn’s River Falls on your bucket list? If not, might I suggest adding it? It’s a must-do in Jamaica.

But, if you are looking for hotels nearby, I assume you already know this. It isn’t on everyone’s ‘must-do’ list for no reason. You will come to figure that out once you're here.

Anyway, let’s get you to the island first. Accommodations near the falls are great options since after a full day of climbing, ziplining and splashing at the river or beach, you are bound to be exhausted.

A hotel nearby will be the greatest gift for your future self. Thankfully Ocho Rios is a major tourist hub and there are great accommodations nearby. Here are 7 of the best options. 

  1. Moon Palace Jamaica - If you’re after a luxurious, all-inclusive experience with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea, Moon Palace Jamaica is a top pick. This resort is just a quick drive from Dunn’s River, so you can be back in your room or at the pool in no time after your climb.

    Moon Palace has everything you could want: pools with swim-up bars, fantastic restaurants, and even a FlowRider surf simulator. After a day at the falls, you can unwind at the spa or enjoy some live entertainment.

  2. Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa - Staying at Jewel Dunn’s River Beach Resort & Spa is like having your own little piece of paradise just minutes from the falls. This adults-only all-inclusive resort is perfect if you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing time with friends.

    You’ll find beautiful pools, a private beach, and even an on-site golf course! It’s got a laid-back vibe, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had with theme nights and water sports.

  3. RIU Ocho Rios - The RIU Ocho Rios is all about fun, sun, and easy access to Dunn’s River Falls. This resort is family-friendly and perfect for travellers of all ages, with multiple pools, a lively entertainment team, and a wide variety of dining options.

    If you’re travelling with kids, they’ll love the water park and kids’ club, and adults can enjoy the spa and swim-up bars. Plus, you’ll have a great mix of relaxation and adventure, all just a short drive from the falls.

  4. Sandals Ochi Beach Resort - For those looking for a bit of romance, Sandals Ochi Beach Resort is a beautiful couples-only, all-inclusive resort just a short drive from Dunn’s River. It’s one of the largest Sandals properties, with 16 restaurants, 11 bars, and endless pools to dip into.

    You can even book a private villa with its own pool if you’re in the mood for something extra special. After a morning climbing Dunn’s River, it’s the perfect spot to come back, unwind, and sip on a Jamaican rum cocktail.

  5. Kaz Kreol Beach Lodge - If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly spot that’s still close to Dunn’s River Falls, Kaz Kreol Beach Lodge is a fantastic option. This cosy, laid-back hotel sits right on the beach and has a charming, relaxed atmosphere.

    You’ll have easy access to the beach, and the rooms are comfortable and have that authentic Jamaican vibe. It’s not all-inclusive, but you’ll get a great feel for local hospitality, and there are delicious Jamaican dishes on the menu.

  6. Hibiscus Lodge Hotel - A hidden gem right in Ocho Rios, Hibiscus Lodge Hotel offers a more intimate stay with some serious charm. Perched on a cliff, this hotel has spectacular ocean views, a peaceful pool area, and lovely gardens.

    It’s close enough to Dunn’s River for a quick trip but far enough to give you that feeling of being tucked away in paradise. The rooms are comfortable, and the on-site restaurant, Almond Tree, serves up some of the best local and international dishes around.

  7. Ocean Coral Spring - Although a little further out from Dunn’s River (about a 30-minute drive), Ocean Coral Spring is worth considering if you’re looking for a family-friendly all-inclusive with a touch of luxury.

    It has a lazy river, a splash park for kids, and plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The rooms are spacious and modern, and the resort is lively, so it’s great if you’re travelling with a group or family.

So, there you have it! With these hotels, you’ll be close enough to Dunn’s River Falls to make the most of your day there and then have a fantastic spot to come back to afterwards.

Whether you’re looking for all-out luxury, an adult-only retreat, or a cosy beachside lodge, Jamaica’s got you covered. We’re ready to welcome you with open arms, and trust me, once you climb those falls, you’ll be back for more!
