      As far as the resort location, you are centrally located by all excursion areas in Ocho Rios. You can also hire a taxi to take you to the local shops and restaurants. 🙂

      In March they were and it was strictly enforced at the RIU. Since then, mask are not required in Jamaica so don't expect it. We just came back from another resort in Jamaica this weekend and no mask were required for anything at all.
      The Waterpark is more so for the children so we opted not to partake. 😊
