The Dolphins
Last summer
was, the most fantastic season, that we've had in our 15 year history
and we expect this year to be the same! The only down side of the 2003
season was not being able to accomodate all the people who wanted to
join us. If you are interested in a trip please let us know as soon as
possible so that there will be space for you. We take no more than 10
guests. We feel that keeping the number of guests to a minimum makes
the interactions more eco-oriented and respectful for the dolphins and
a more intimate experience for our guests.
Dolphin Cove is a family adventure where you can meet
exciting animals and experience swimming and playing with dolphins. It
adjoins Dunn’s River Falls and is a natural cove surrounded by lush
tropical rain forest.
You can have an extraordinary adventure at Dolphin Cove
as you enter a natural cove to swim, play and touch the beautiful
bottlenose dolphins. There is a brief orientation before the trainers
take you to meet the dolphins.
You will get to know the animals and learn about their
behavior and how their trainers communicate with them by “hand
signals”. Then be able to play, touch, get kissed, and perhaps a get a
push around the cove.
You can take a walk through the natural rain forest and
tropical gardens and see rivers and waterfalls, view animals and birds
indigenous to the tropics. See sharks in their own environment, or just
wander and explore.
You can relax on a white sandy beach and enjoy the cool
Caribbean breeze, snooze in a hammock and taste Jamaica’s finest
grilled cuisine. Snorkel and swim under the hidden waterfall or kayak
on the sea.
Dolphin Cove gives you the opportunity to learn more
about Jamaica’s culture.
You can stay at Dolphin Cove for as long as you wish,
leaving at your leisure…. No rush.
Dolphin Cove is wheelchair friendly. You will receive a
warm welcome, the utmost service, and personal attention on escorted
tours.
There is also a free shuttle bus service for hotel
guests, cruise ship passengers and guests from Dunn’s River Falls. This
allows you to arrive and leave at your own convenience.

Bar at James Bond Beach - Oracabessa
Oracabessa is where Golden Clouds Villa is located and is about 15
miles east of Ocho Rios, a very nice drive. You can walk there
from Golden Clouds.
"This year, entrepreneur Chris Blackwell
(owner of Island Records and a Jamaican), reopened writer Ian Fleming's
former home, Goldeneye, at Oracabessa Beach as one of four rental
villas. The area is private, but for five dollars nonguests can
walk onto its sand strip, known as James Bond Beach (closed Monday).
A grander entrance can be made from the adjacent helipad.
Admission includes a free beer or soda and use of the changing room and
water-sports rental center. There is a basic bamboo lean-to with
a thatches palm roof where you can get grilled fish or chicken with the
local Bammy cake (bread like). Cocktails exploit the Bond
theme: Order a Moonraker (strawberry-flavored rum drink) or a
Goldfinger (pineapple and orange juice with two types of rum).
For a challenge, try to elicit the ingredients of a 007 from the barman
Time 'n' Place -Falmouth
Falmouth (about 30 minutes from Montego Bay or one hour from Ocho Rios)
is located on the North Coast main road and you will pass as you drive
from the airport to your villa in Ocho Rios. Ask the driver to
stop and have a drink.
"Just east of Falmouth, a crumbling Georgian jewel of a town,
a sign by the side of the road announces, IF YOU GOT THE TIME, THEN WE
GOT THE PLACE. Stop. Park in the shade. You've found
one of the most seductive beach bars in Jamaica. Time 'n' Place
is a bar and three cottages on a deserted two-mile-long beach.
The bar looks like it is built of driftwood with a thatched
roof. At the few tables and benches you can order superb
jerk chicken or lobster, served either steamed or grilled, and have
daiquiris made with fresh fruit. A good selection of CDs and
local radio stations keeps feet moving at night. The atmosphere
is simple and friendly, so you'd never know that this is a favorite of
the New York fashion crowd, or that magazines like Vogue have used it
for beach fashion shoots. But once you've been here, you'll see
why (876-954-4371).
Under Sea Tours.
The "Coral See", a new and
unique vessel is a semi-sub reef explorer, where you can go down into
