Reggae Beach & Bamboo Beach Club

[catchycan]

We just came back from our summer cruise and decided to go to Reggae Beach rather than take a ship tour. We heard it was a beautiful ,quiet, safe beach to go to on our own and we weren't disappointed. First of all, it was gorgeous - we felt like we were at one of those picture perfect beaches you see on postcards. Secondly, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that Bamboo Beach club had moved there. We originally thought about going to Bamboo Beach, but it wasn't being sold on our ship. Anyway, we had an excellent time there - all you can eat food and drinks and wonderful entertainment - we especially enjoyed the Jamaican drummers who gave the beach a real authentic reggae feel. We were also impressed with the hostesses who were very attentive and friendly. Just thought I'd share our experience since it was so unexpected and fun!

Hi, we were also at Bamboo Beach Club a couple of weeks ago. We originally organized something to do on our own in Jamaica, but after hearing the hype on the ship about the beach club moving to Reggae Beach, we decided to go there. It was fantastic! Beautiful beach, clear warm water, great music, good food and drinks, nice entertainment - everything we were looking for in Jamaica. We went to Dunn's River Falls first, which was tons of fun. Really a great day to remember!

How did everyone book this? Did you just go to Reggae Beach by Taxi and just show up or did you book throught their site or another site? I am looking a couple of the tours they offer, any info would be great.

We're considering bamboo beach club and were wondering if it's a good place for kids. We're going with our three children ages 8-15 and want a place that we will all enjoy.

We actually went there on our own. When we arrived we realized it was the new location of Bamboo Beach Club. We took a taxi there - it was about a 10 minute ride. At the gate they gave us the option of paying a $9 entrance fee to just sit on the beach OR a $55 fee that would include all of Bamboo Beach Club - food, drinks, chair, towel and entertainment - we choose the all inclusive package. It was so much fun and worth the $55. Also noticed quite a few kids there. It's a great family style beach!

Is there a website? Do you have pictures? We went to Reggae in March 2007 - it was very quiet with only a handful of people (mostly local). Has the atmosphere changed much since the beach club has moved there? Is there a building/restaurant now (besides the small "hut" that was there previously)? Details, please!

 

FYI We booked with Marva Shaw when we went - had a great time. She's still offering Reggae as a destination on her web site.
