Don’t forget to grab your favorite Margaritaville souvenir or memorabilia before you leave.

Margaritaville closed, beach packed

First off I want to say our driver, Terry, was awesome! Very friendly, just like all Jamaicans, and he is a Montego Bay local. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I think I was looking for a one stop shop tour guide and this really wasn’t that. It was more like hiring a private driver for the day. Unfortunately Terry was “not very good at history” which was kind of something I was looking forward to. Margaritaville is also permanently closed, at least for the moment, and apparently it has been for months… so don’t expect to do that. We did not go shopping at the town center but we were taken to a shop that overlooked the city and had an AMAZING view. It was probably for the better because we weren’t hassled and the downtown shop owners can be aggressive. We got all the souvenirs we were looking for but we’re easy to please and were just looking for some basics. We did go to DR.’s Cove Beach, and spent the majority of our 3 hours of beach time trying to get lunch/bar service. There was a cruise ship in town and the place was packed. Definitely NOT worth the trip for us as our resort’s beach was just as nice, less packed, and has much more attentive staff. Again, our driver was awesome and i tipped him well for being so pleasant, but the excursion itself really wasn’t worth the price IMO.

Sorry to hear about your experience. We will try to make it to you next time. Yes the beach gets crowded on cruise ship days but we don’t have any control over that.

Fun experience.

The water was nice to bounce in the waves. It got deep quickly. The beach was crowded but not unpleasantly so. The kids enjoyed it especially.

Skip and just take a taxi

For the price of this tour, it would have been better to take a $20 taxi to the beach. Doctor's cave beach is beautiful. Love the sand and the water. Amazing location. Margaritaville was very loud and busy. COuld not order due to noise. Skip it. Shopping was the driver taking us to his relative's place. Got mad when we wanted to go to another shop. Having said that, the driver was very friendly. He doens't make the price.
