  1. Our group stayed at the Raggae Hostel in Ocho Rios for a debrief from 4/9 to 4/14 and it was awesome. They were so friendly and they provided a group rate that, while over budget, was the cheapest option we could find in the area. They really loved our group and they were great to us. Regular hostel rooms with warm showers. We paid around $15/person to lodge here. They also had a small rooftop area that was able to be used for our sessions.

  1. Note that this information is primarily for debrief application:-We chose to use Knutsford Express for most of our transportation as a group. When we traveled longer distances, they offer good rates and the transportation is very nice.-For debrief, the coaches and mentors had to travel from the closest airport (Montego Bay) to Ocho Rios. The best rate that I could find was through Viator. They have a roundtrip mini tour that will pick you up and drop you off wherever you choose and good price for transportation.

  1. Ocho Rios Beach was fun! It costs 200 Jamaican dollars ($1.55 USD) to get in and you’re allowed to leave and come back in as you please. It’s a lot cheaper than most of the other beaches, it’s less touristy, and it’s closer to places downtown that you can walk to for food/drinks. We went snorkeling for an hour for $15 USD per person. They gave us a good deal because we had a pretty large group.
