gramwold Posted February 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2020 hi all, we are thinking of lounging at doctors cave beach near the cruise port of montego bay on Tuesday changeover day. its a taxi ride from the dock and I gather $6 entrance fee and same for brolly/bed or can you just chuck your towel down. I ask this cos we wont be laying there all day we want to explore around on foot after a snorkel at the beach. will it be too far to walk back to ship and is there much to see in downtown. I will be taking us dollars is it necessary to have some Jamaican dollars. any feedback would be welcome many thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted February 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) You pay for entrance and beds/brolly separate so you don't need to pay for loungers and just use towels on the beach Normally the taxi driver charges for a return trip and you don't pay until he comes back for you at whatever time you agree on so you can go walkabout and then meet him back outside Doctors Cave at whatever time you want US dollars are all you'll need Enjoy Please ignore jpg as I uploaded wrong photo and can't delete it 😏 Edited February 10, 2020 by Vitalsign Incorrect photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted February 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Found correct photo - this was taken at Doctors Cave showing an amazing thunderstorm over the port whilst we were in brilliant sunshine - all those on the ship got soaked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyonions Posted February 10, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi, if you are looking to chill on a beach for a while, my suggestion would be the Hard Rock Cafe in Montego Bay. Just walk out of the cruise port, ignore the taxi drivers and turn right at the road after port gates. It’s about a 10 minute walk (or you may be lucky and see the complimentary mini bus). Cost $4US for sunbed, umbrella, lovely pool and of course refreshments as required. Highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramwold Posted February 11, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted February 11, 2020 thanks for the info and photo's Vitalsign and Kittyonions, we will have to decide what we do now on the day. we had a look on you tube at some videos at doctors cave and it looks great and margaretaville is a short distance away. whatever we do were going to enjoy. 5weeks today and we in Jamaica mon.

Kittyonions Posted February 11, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Sorry, forgot to mention in my earlier post that the Hard Rock Cafe is also right on the beach, so you can choose either sunbeds on the beach or on the pool terrace.Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland123 Posted February 13, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Might be a daft question but does the hard Rock Cafe have hard rock blaring out all day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyonions Posted February 13, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2020 There was music playing in the bar and terrace, but it was just pleasant background music. Something that we would have appreciated at times on board Discovery 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
