Dining with nature
The easy way to enjoy waterfalls, which is no less thrilling, is to dine at The Ruins at the Falls, walking distance from the bustling town center and cruise ship pier.
It's even more of a surprise than Dunn's River Falls.
Its standard-issue parking lot, which opens directly onto the busy main road, appears routine enough. But as soon as you walk through the arched restaurant entrance, you're deep inside a tropical paradise enclosing a magnificent wide falls.
Rather than get in it, however, you sit immediately beside it at tables on an open air terrace shaded by huge banyan and fig trees and hanging foliage.
Little decorative bridges take you over the Turtle River, the ever present sound of the rushing falls as background.
Levels and terraces of the river create pools filled with colorful carp and other fish, flowers, photo ops and a general sense of exotic romance.
It's a perfect location for a wedding.
