Some photos from around the Riu Ocho Rios resort. This was the lobby.

The beach.

More beach.

The Jerk Hut that was closed most of our stay.

The main pool that closed on the Tuesday after we arrived. On the Sunday we noticed signs that the main pool was going to close from May 10-17th for “emergency” repairs. From what I have read it was to replace the filter system. It involved jack hammering the bottom to replace parts. The jack hammering went on from 6:00-7:00 in the morning until 19:00-20:00 in the evening.

The closed pool meant that everyone could use the Deluxe pool over on the other side, of course it was smaller and unless someone went early (thanks Mom and Di) to save some loungers, there was no chance you would get one later on. Even the beach at the other end was busy compared to the side near the construction zone.

The calming blue sea did make up for some of the inconvenience.

We spent some time in the infinity pool which was separate from the swim up bar pool.

This was the swim up bar part of the Deluxe pool.
