Description of the area:

While Hedonism III provides almost everything that a guest could ever want, sometimes visitors to Jamaica want to get out and see something of the country and meet the warm wonderful people who call this island paradise home all year long.

Ocho Rios Shopping: Ocho Rios (named by Spanish explorers "Los Chorreras" -- meaning "waterfalls -- which was later corrupted by the English to what the town is now called) has long been a prime port of call for many of the huge cruise liners.

Dunns River Falls: Even if a guest has no interest in shopping, there are available tours that provide an opportunity to climb up the six hundred foot waterfall. Local guides will take your picture using your camera, so that you'll have the pictures to remind you of this super excursion.

Runaway Caves: Not far from the town of Runaway Bay there is an extensive system of natural limestone caves that were originally used by the Arawak Indians as far back as 800 A.D
Martha Brae River Rafting: Just two miles south of Falmouth, is the small town of Martha Brae which was the first capital of Trelawney Parish
Runaway Bay: The town itself is interesting to explore. It was the first planned resort development in Jamaica.
Cardiff Hall: Just south of Hedonism III, and overlooking the Superclubs Golf Course (which now encompasses much of what was once the pasture of the original estate) is situated Cardiff Hall, a beautiful eighteenth century great house built by Daniel Blagrove.
