Hello all. Just back from the Oasis of the Seas Western sailing last week and wanted to share our experience with Dr. Caves. Enjoy! We arrived in Jamaica around 10AM and got the all clear to disembark at 10:30AM. From cruisecritic.com we knew to head to the taxi stand and look for a Juta cab or van going to Mo... More

Doctor's Cave Beach was beautiful! There were a ton of locals selling things on the beach, which got pretty annoying. Beers at the nearby bar were pretty expensive, as well as the beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach was pretty clean and overall a nice experience! More

Montego Bay was one of the ports that we visited with the cruise and we decided to go to Doctors Cave Beach. We did not take the cruise's tour since it was too expensive, instead we jumped in a taxi which was only 5 us dls per person and headed to this beach. We payed 5 dls per person te... More

One word - Amazing. Go and enjoy. The colour of the water is a beautiful blue and the waters are calm. Nice restaurant with pleasant staff. If you are not in the mood to swim but wish to enjoy the view and have a drink at the same time, there is no charge for this. Loved it!!! More

I spend most of my two days in Montego Bay at Doctor's Cave Beach. It is totally worth the $ to get in and rent a chair. The water is beautiful and the bar was really nice too. More

We stopped by Doctors Cave Beach for a few hours while we were in Montego Bay. The water was calm and crystal clear. The beach attendants were renting out umbrellas and chairs. We did get an umbrella but the guy who was offering them to us seemed a little annoyed that we didn't get a chair, oh well. Doctors cove... More

To me this is the best cheap excursion you can do in Jamaica. I did this and all my excursions through the cruise ship either Carnival or Royal Caribbean. I pay for the all day bus pass I first shop then bring all the stuff back to the ship then ride back to town and go to the beach it... More

Was in Montego Bay for a week and found myself at this beach twice. Its a beautiful beach. The cost when I was there was $5/adult and $3/kid. Beach Chairs, umbrellas and snorkels cost additional. The last time we went there I actually lost my wedding band out near this bouncey thing they have in the water. The life guard... More

If you're like us and your hotel only had a mediocre beach, then you must spend the $6 to stay at this wonderful beach... no rocks or seaweed in the water, crystal blue ocean, a swim-up trampoline, good food.... It's a leave-the-resort must. More
