| Ocho
Rios Shopping
For
many, Ocho Rios provides an introduction
to Jamaica-style shopping. After surviving
the ordeal, some visitors may vow never
to go shopping again. Literally hundreds
of Jamaicans pour into Ocho Rios to peddle
items to cruise-ship passengers and other
visitors. Be prepared for aggressive vendors.
Pandemonium greets many an unwary shopper,
who must also be prepared for some fierce
haggling. Every vendor asks too much at
first, which gives them the leeway to
"negotiate" until the price
reaches a more realistic level. |
|
Is
shopping fun in Ocho Rios? A resounding no.
Do cruise-ship passengers and land visitors
indulge in it anyway? A decided yes.
In
general, the shopping is better in Montego Bay.
If
you're not going there, wander the Ocho Rios
crafts markets, although much of the merchandise
is repetitive.

Century as a Methodist manse, and is one

Opened in 1981 after a year’s restoration,
it has since received international acclaim

regular exhibitions during the winter
season, featuring the works of Jamaica’s
finest painters and sculptors, and over
100 artists and crafts people are represented.
The gift shop includes a range of prints,
ceramics, books, fragrances and the ever-popular
Annabella Boxes. Promoting excellence
in Jamaican art and craft was the original
motivation for opening Harmony Hall, and
is still the guiding principle. All are
welcome to browse, relax and enjoy the
atmosphere or the award-winning cuisine
at Toscanini’s authentic Italian
restaurant.
Harmony
Hall is located 4 miles (6.4 km) from
Ocho Rios, on the main road to Oracabessa
