Accommodation

In Ocho Rios
You will be staying at the Hibiscus Lodge, a colorful boutique hotel 10 minutes walking distance from the beach. With a swimming pool, a tropical garden and seaview, it is the perfect spot to start the trip. The rooms are comfortable and all have a private bathroom. Located in the center of Ochi, you will be able to discover the city easily.

In Kingston
You will be staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, a 3-star establishment in the heart of New Kingston. With its 2 bars by the pool and its tree-lined garden, you will have plenty to relax between two parties. Located 15 minutes walk from Devon House and its famous ice cream shop, it is also the ideal starting point for the Carnival road march.

WHAT THE MENTOR SAYS
GBB

What I want for this trip is something far from the dancehall camps that are usually done in Jamaica.
I want to take the time. Time to connect with nature, to connect with each other. We're not just going to learn some choreography. We will dive into the local vibe and explore everything the island has to offer.
