Negril Lighthouse

Permanently Closed
Sights & Landmarks
Lighthouses
The Negril Lighthouse, a historic concrete structure dating back to 1894, is a must-see attraction for visitors to Jamaica. With its 103 stairs leading to the top, it offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean and is particularly renowned for its stunning sunset vistas. While access may be limited at times, local taxi drivers can provide valuable insights on its opening hours. The lighthouse's picturesque grounds make it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts.
It’s worth going to visit it. It’s not always open. I recommend taking a taxi, because they know when it is open and they can even open the doors to visit the lighthouse

This lighthouse is a photographers dream come true. Very quaint well-kept grounds. The only bad side is make sure you arrive before 5 PM or the gates will be closed
Absolutely beautiful. Amazing sunset from the top, if you are lucky to be there at the perfect moment. Wow factor, if lighthouses and their views are your "thing". #localguide
Wasn't able to see the inside of the museum as it was a quick stop during the Island Roots tour (which was AMAZING) Nice surroundings and is the western most point of Jamaica
The gates were closed on the day we went, but it's a smaller lighthouse than the one in the east
Awesome... western tip of Jamaica. Facinating history...built 1894
Beautiful to look at from the road. The actually grounds and structure to the lighthouse are closed and seem to be under construction. Ask the locals to see if it's open before you take the hike.
Was there end of the day, quite place, light house behind fences, can't get close to it.

Barney's Botanical Garden Jamaica

Botanical garden

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Barney's Botanical Garden in Jamaica is a charming and intimate garden that offers a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts. The garden is home to a diverse array of exotic hummingbirds and vibrant tropical flora, creating a picturesque setting for visitors to explore. The knowledgeable staff provides insights into the different species of hummingbirds found in the Blue Mountains, as well as tips on how to attract these beautiful birds to the garden.
I visited Barney’s in February 2025 with my fiancée and his grandmother and we all had an excellent time. If you are a lover of birds and gardening, this is a great way to see a variety of exotic plants in one place. We went at 4PM and the hummingbirds were a bit shy, but if you are patient they will make an appearance. We were very excited to see a doctor bird (Jamaica’s national bird) in person! Barney was great to chat with and showed us the main hummingbird species that are found in Jamaica. If it’s possible and you can, I would try visiting the gardens in the morning when it’s not as hot for the birds. Other than that though we really enjoyed ourselves and plan to return the next time we are in Negril.

A very lovely hour spent looking around this little jewel of a garden.
We were very lucky and saw an adolescent Swallow Tail Hummingbird (Doctor Bird)
You NEED to be Patient and Quiet!!
So if you can't sit still for more than 5 minutes, this will not be for you!
In addition, remember this is a garden that is lucky enough to have Hummingbirds visit
not a bird park, so nothing is guaranteed.
The staff here was super inviting and knowledgeable about different species of hummingbirds. The hummingbirds are usually found in the Blue Mountains, but Barney has curated a garden with specific features to draw the hummingbirds to this side of the island. We got to see 3 of the national bird and 2 mangoes. I had one come right up to my feeder and feed from my hand. Go early on the morning or late in the day as the birds prefer cooler temperatures and shade. Expect to spend 1-2 hours here.
Cash only if you pay in person and do not reserve online.
I am sorry to say but this place is not worth visiting in it's current state.
(Taxi and Entry fees cost three of us over $150)
The owner cares for it deeply but it's a shadow of it's previous glory.
We later visited Rockland's near Mobay which gave us an amazing experience feeding Hummingbirds and many other species.
Day 7 – As we awoke on our last morning in the deep west, we had to make a stop at Barney's botanical garden. A beautiful sanctuary full of firecracker flowers, bromeliads and heliconia blooms along with hummingbirds; we arrived at 10am when Barney, bless him, wasn't expecting us – he was a quaint man from Germany – and he had a big heart for hummingbirds and his plants. We were welcomed and given a tour. The garden isn't too big but is perfect to watch where the birds go. We realised after 30-50 mins when others arrived that patience was a virtue. Several, approximately 4-6 others, showed, however, had no patience for nature and missed out on feeding these beautiful creatures. We got to feed them several times (not all caught on camera), which was incredible to see their colours and hear their sounds. We gathered they liked the colour red, as Barney wore red as were the sugar water bottles, so we used our incentive. Our good friend Emily brought us some croc-like purses, which we used to carry money. Luckily, mine was red and actually attracted them closer to us. We spent a good 2-3 hours at Barneys, and it was the most magical morning. Thank you, sir! Keep up the good work protecting these beautiful creatures.
Fantastic morning. Barney welcomed us in and gave us some information about the birds and a feeder. We saw lots of humming birds and got to hand feed a few. Lots of beautiful flowers and insects as well. Would recommend going early before the sun it too hot.
Barney has created a magical sanctuary for many birds and reptiles. It’s a quaint and quiet garden that will leave you with a deep appreciation for the flora and fauna of Jamaica.
Lovely spot with a natural garden and a delighted owner who clearly loves these birds. What a wonderful thing to be able to offer a safe space for these beautiful and endangered birds! Come to spend a couple of hours connecting with the birdies as Barney affectionately calls them, feed them birds from
A little sugar bottle, chat to the friendly owner and relax !

Blue Hole Mineral Spring in Westmoreland, Jamaica is a picturesque natural attraction offering a deep swimming cave, a pool, and surrounding cliffs for relaxation. Visitors can enjoy a gentle hike along the Blue Hole Mineral Spring Trail leading to the mineral-rich limestone sinkhole. The site also offers mud massages and horseback riding nearby at Paradise Park. It's an ideal place to escape from city and beach routines, with friendly locals adding to the experience.
This place is a hidden gem, You have to travel some back roads into the hills. The blue hole is nice. It offers guests a twenty five foot plunge into 35 ft of spring water.
The owner was more than hospitable, And the staff were very friendly. Beautiful views and the rooms seemed very nice.
Michael S — Google review
Wayneisha is the BEST. I was so afraid initially and she put me right at ease. Thanks for an amazing afternoon. Shouts to the chef and his companion. First time I tried chicken curry pasta! Yes I know it sounds weird, but it was good.
Such a beautiful place! Fun and exhilarating to jump to your certain death! 🤣 took some time to work up the courage but I did it! Also fun to lounge around down there in the cool waters on the inner tubes they have for shared use.
They also have life jackets, a lifeguard, a bar and waiting area for drivers, and an optional weed farm tour. Entry fee was $20 usd per person for the blue hole.
Very nice staff and term clean and well organized! it is a small place so if you have a couple of large groups it would be crowded very quickly.
The entry road was small and rough, and despite what Uber says, no one will pick you up to take you there! You have to find a driver who will take you and wait or go with a tour group. I would recommend just going w/ a taxi so there aren't automatically a ton of other people there
It's smaller than we expected but worth the drive! The water is refreshing and there are several heights to jump from or a ladder to climb down. There's also a mineral water fed swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. It was a highlight for us and I highly recommend it.
The Blue Hole Mineral Spring was a fun experience. It is $20 per person to swim, so a total of $40 for the two of us. It is a little remote like 40 min drive from West End Negril where we were staying and the road for about the second half of the drive is fairly narrow with a lot of pot holes. We had a little Toyota with small wheels so I would recommend a car with larger wheels or better would be an SUV if you drive yourself like we did. If you’re only interested in the Blue Hole itself like we were then you prob only need 30 min to an hour there as it is just the one hole to jump into/swim and it isn’t extremely large. The jumps are roughly 20 to 30 ft depending on which side of the hole you jump from. Overall it was a fun and adventurous experience (including the drive) especially if you like to jump from high places like we do. It was $40 total for us since we already had the car, but it might be a little expensive if you need to hire a driver/taxi plus admission.
Visited early on a Sunday so there was no waiting to get in. Our guide was patient and helped us with the climb up the river. Not sure what I expected but this is not a calm river and the pools are deep judging by the color of the water It’s a dark deep blue. The water was cold as river water always is. Beautiful place would definitely visit again.
This is not an activity or site worth $20. Simply to walk around they charge $10 and to swim it is $20 per person. It is a literal hole. There is not much around either. The best part was a view from the top of the house but even that is skippable at $10 entry fee. Do not waste your time driving to this site.
Nice place for a day trip. Blue Hole is off the beaten path and is not a big tourist spot. They offer a mineral water pool and a fun 25 foot "hole" that you can take the ladder down or if you are brave enough jump down and hang out in the water. There is a bar, 10 room hotel with a great view of the mountains and sea on the top of the hotel. Low key no pressure place to hang out at the pool or bar.

Shopping
Time Square Shopping Mall is a clean and diverse shopping destination with numerous stores offering a variety of items such as souvenirs, clothing, coffee, spirits, cigarettes, and cigars. Visitors can find unique items and even engage in some bargaining at certain shops. One visitor had a positive experience at a store called Sunny Side (number 10), where they found honest prices and an amiable owner. Despite encountering some negative reviews about the mall, this particular shop provided a pleasant shopping experience.
I bought t-shirts, magnets and some other little things in a shop called Sunny side. It's number 10.
I don't know how good you are at negotiating prices, but to me it's too tiring. I prefer a shop like this where the prices look honest and the owner either. We made the calculation of the final price, after checking some bad reviews of the mall, and in this shop we got the right one.
I hope this review will be helpful to someone

The were plenty of shops to look around at when doing the shopping experience with beaches. Reasonable prices at all shops. Similar items at all shops with some differentiation.
Interesting place. You can buy everything you want. Souvenirs, clothes, alcohol and other. Clear and large. There is tour agency on the territory and "duty free" zone. You can buy a transition to an American electrical outlet in the pavilion 10 - only $ 2.
The mall is conveniently located near the beach in Negril. A nice little mall with many souvenir shops you can browse through. Some shops are more expensive than others with the same products so browse first. My family and I were happy to find a small grocery shop where we bought snacks, drinks, other necessary items. The owner and his wife are helpful and friendly.
A few regular stores selling all things from Jamaica.. all the same.. safe..clean.. lovely sales people.
Souvenir and gift shops, as well as a place to relax and have a drink. The shops are small and offer only affordable souvenirs. Nice place. I personally impressed Bob Marley's statue. Do not expect any boutique shops 🇯🇲
BE CAREFUL!! This is suppose to be DUTY FREE. However, LAMCY EXCLUSIVE GIFT SHOP (SHOP #4A) a charge tax of approximately 24% on COFFEE AND ALCOHOL. Very disappointing.
We all found SUNNYSIDE Gift (SHOP #10), to be tax free and sell items at a reasonable rate. Please check Sunnyside gift shop #10, out.
Please remember that not all of the shops are honest. Especially shop 4A operated by Vickie, he has a sweet tongue.
He told us one price and charged us another. This location is Duty Free, but he charges duty in a very slick way.
Buyer Be Ware...
I'll never travel to Lucea without this trip planner again

The area offers a variety of amenities and attractions, from nearby Dunns River Falls to the historic Negril Lighthouse.

It was a good experience.. I had thought 7 Miles Beach was like a beach for itself, but I know it’s a long walk if walking. But sections were taken. But anyway, we used Magaritaville, it was great, I loved the beach nonstop… 🏝️ Ville, food always up but dare! 👀 Enjoyed myself and it was a full day today..

Perfect beach in Jamaica & Caribbean. Warm waters, casual & relaxed atmosphere, no stop lights, very controlled with really amazing policing with many police patrol on the negril seven mile beach to ensure everyone feels safe at all times. Also controlled by plane clothing policing/undercover who would remove persons from the beach if caught patronizing tourist for food, drinks , goods & other unwelcome services. Negril beach is so beautiful and rocks cafe is a highlight. So many places to have dinner and reggae horseback riding is the best option for ocean swim, shaded trail ride and the only one mile of private white sand to enjoy a romantic and family ride with love ones. Reggae horseback offers free unlimited photos & videos for every person with a phone/camera. Negril also has Reggae Horseback & Golf Packages. Many attractions to visit & play golf too. Negril seven mile beach is the most beautiful beach. Marijuana tours, ostrich tour at reggae horseback, and visit other rustic & natural unspoiled beaches🐎🐎🐎🇯🇲
Beautiful water, I have nothing bad to say about this beach. We went in the middle of July, 2025, the water was clear and calm. I did spot a sting ray, star fish and various fishes near the shallow area. People do offer to sell you things on the beach but it's not overwhelming. Various excursions are available near this location
Even if you don't participate in the Reggae Marathon, the Negril Seven Mile Beach is a beautiful beach to visit. I absolutely loved my time here.
There's seven miles of beach, so there's more than enough room to grab some sand and chill. The water is calming and clear, but there are areas where it's "busy". Every beach has its spots and this beach is no exception.
One of the most beautiful beaches in Jamaica, Seven miles beach is a treat with white sands and warm waters. Overall chill vibes with great food and drink options. Also a great place to rent a catamaran and go for a sunset sailing! Beautiful sunset!!
Visited end of October 2023. Beach is nice but waves shifting sands towards afternoon so I went in the morning and the water was crystal clear see through. Love the vibes very chill and ‘seven mile’ gives enough space for everyone. Must watch sunset !
Probably one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever visited. Chill vibes and warm water coupled with fresh juice and patty vendors, what more could you want.
Check out Best in the West chicken nearby or just get delicious chicken from the many barrel vendors.
Spent New year's eve swimming under the fireworks and paper lanterns.
It was magical.
Beautiful white sand, clear blue water, starfish and much more. It's a beautiful place to visit and lots of activities available. The sunset in Negril is breath-taking. A must see while in Jamaica. Just keep in mind that you will constantly be offered activities, if not interested just say no thanks with a smile and continue on your way.

We were happy to find a Catholic church within walking distance to where we were staying on 7 mile beach. We strolled leisurely about 40 minutes along the beach and then crossed the road near Coco La Palm hotel. Attended Sunday mass at 10 am. We went early to drop off some clothes and to pray quietly. A very peaceful place. This little church was full for mass with half tourists and half locals. The children sang beautifully and we enjoyed the mass and homily. We received blessings at the end for a safe flight back to our home. Will be coming again the next time we are in Negril.
Came here during vacation for Easter Sunday mass. It was lovely. So glad it was super close to our hotel.
It was a pleasure finding a church away from home while on vacation. It was a great service
So grateful for the experience of Catholic Mass in Jamaica!
holy church, we were happy to be there
Attended Good Friday 2pm service. The humility in the priest welcome was evident. He went into details on the format & how the service would be conducted. So refreshing to experience so much grace & love.🙏🏾
Have made several trips to Jamaica, and I have attended both daily and Sunday Mass. I have been accepted by the ladies in community for Mass. BEWARE..... on Sunday at Mass a very petite little old lady will panhandle for money. I gave her about $9 one Sunday, and then she jumped into her Land Rover after Mass!! My next visit the following year, she tried to hustle me again. If she can afford to drive a Land Rover in Jamaica, she does not NEED the money. I refused to give her any money!! I prefer to largely tip my hotel maid or cook with children who are at the hotel at 0700-1700, and take two buses to get to work six days a week. The NEED is greater with them!!

Booby Cay is a small forested island with a simple sandy beach that offers swimming and stunning views of Negril. Visitors can kayak to the island from Point Village Resort or Hedo, where they can enjoy the nice beach and explore a small rocky beach on the other side. It's important to wear closed-toe water shoes due to sharp corals in the water.
You choose your lobster from the selection that was caught that day. The person prepared it to perfection and served it with rice and some steamed veggies that were delicious.

Big thanks to Don,Got one of his boats over to the island via snorkelling at a reef, had a great lobster and crab lunch at his place. A bit rough and ready but the food was amazing!!! Then we were left to sunbathe and swim for as long as we wanted to. Called the boat back for us at the end of the day! We spent nearly 7hrs in total having a perfect day!!
🌴 Booby Cay Island – A Hidden Gem Just Off Negril! 🛥️🐚
This was my very first time visiting Booby Cay Island, and let me tell you, it’s one of Jamaica’s best kept secrets!
Just a quick 30-minute boat ride from Negril and you feel like you’ve entered paradise.
⚓ We booked our trip with Captain Jace, who operates a glass-bottom boa, such a cool way to travel across those beautiful Caribbean waters!
The package included it all:
• 🐟 Fresh seafood (your choice!)
• 🦞 Surf & turf
• 🍗 Jerk chicken full of real Jamaican flavor
• 🤿 Snorkeling in clear blue water
• 💦 An unforgettable island experience!
🔥 The food? Absolutely mouthwatering. The jerk and grilled seafood were seasoned to perfection.
🙌 Captain Jace and his team? Professional, friendly, and made us feel right at home.
🌊 Whether you’re a local or visiting Jamaica, add Booby Cay to your list. It’s peaceful, full of natural beauty, and truly a slice of heaven you don’t want to miss.
We did a glass bottom tour and went to this island. Very cool spot with beautiful views. Guy had a ton of lobsters he was showing off. Lots of cool shells and organisms on this island. Definitely recommend
What a beautiful island.😍On the spot Captain Pogo prepared delicious lobsters. We relaxed, took pictures with the drone. Warmest regards to Rasta Mike and Captain Pogo.🙏💚
Trash everywhere, lobster was $40 was a bit meh, could’ve skipped it. Snorkeling near by was great - lots of fish at the reef
Beautiful small island that you can kayak to from Point Village Resort or Hedo. Beach isn't big but it's nice and there's another small rocky beach on the other side after a short walk. There are sharp corals in the water so wear closed toe water shoes. A few picnic tables in the shade and sometimes there's a nice man who serves fresh lobsters and drinks. Weekends could see many tour boats from Negril.
Went with my 7 year old. Took the boat from @Rays Water Sports so it was just about a 3 minute ride over. Water was nice but best ask @Scooby-Doo where to swim as there are sea urchins hiding in the sand. Seafood, fruits and refeshment was available for purchase. Nice and quiet.

Good to go on trips and with the family. They have a kiddies area. They slides are not for the faint of heart. I am slightly afraid of heights so you can just imagine it was scared. Lifeguards are always on duty and super helpful. The food is where they loose a star for me . I was not impressed and it just did not taste fresh. You can't bring outside food and there is no re entry. So I would recommend eat afterwards or before.
Spinkey — Google review
Great facilities, perfect for large groups and family activities. Go-karts, paintball, rafting, canoeing and other activities are available. Slides are great, be sure to try the 'Lightning Bolt'. Staff is awesome and so is the food. An adult pool should be made available because if you don't want to slide or go down the lazy river the next best option is the kids section. Always a great experience going here, just need that adult swimming pool to make it perfect.
The staff is the best part of this water park. For the cost it's not much to brag home about. Slides aren't that high, thrill level isn't all that. I cannot imagine the park on a busy day. It would not be worth it in any way shape or form. The experience was okay and the staff and food was exceptional. I hope they will invest in expanding the park soon to bring some more thrilling rides for the thrill seekers and try and achieve better economies of scale. I would recommend the park to individuals who aren't thrill seekers or people who just want to spend a day relaxing in the water. The lazy river for me was the best "ride" at the park.
I enjoyed my time here. The wait to get in is a bit lengthy because there were not enough persons collecting payment. However, the wait for each slide/ride was not long though the park was pretty busy. I love the Green Grotto Slide and Human Gyroscope. Lunch and refreshment can be found inside the park and there are locker rentals available and a gift shop. The staff seemed pretty pleasant and the entertainment was good. This was my second visit and I would definitely go for a third.
My family and I really liked the water park. The space was clean and visually appealing. Upon arrival we parked in the roadside as it was observed that most cars were parked there, and the designated parking lot was actually empty. Payment was made and the entry fee is $2400 per adult, children under 3 years free. I was told I needed a waterproof diaper for my 2 year old although she was fully potty trained. The option was buy the diaper or pay the entry fee. The diaper was cheaper so I did that. The park was clean and the infrastructure up to date. The colors were appealing and we were excited. There were lifeguards on location to assist with whatever was needed but the caution whistle was blown quite frequently and I wasn't sure if I was being cautioned or it was just two staff members trying to get each other's attention. The slides were fun, I particularly liked the red and blue ones. Only draw back was having to climb that many stairs to get to all the fun. The kiddies pool was also fun and my little one couldnt get enough of that coconut playground. Overall we all had a grand time and will definitely go back.
The experience of the park was wonderful...they a variety of activities on property but you have to pay for each activity which only gives your one play..but waterslides are unlimited. You cannot take food but the food options and prices were reasonable. Good for groups, family, old and young...there is something for everyone...ohh they have entertainment too... that was good too... unexpected.
Beautiful property its a perfect little getaway for a day of wet fun!!! With many slides and things to do for rhe entire family from the wave pool to the slides youre gauranteed a day of fun! Was there for the Dream Weekend party and it was really wet and wild!!!
Great place, wide variety of water slides also boasts a kiddies water palace, a go-cart track, a trampoline among other things kiddies. An eclectic array of traditional and contemporary foods are available for purchase in the food court on site

Stanley's Deep Sea Fishing

Fishing charter
Nature & Parks
Marinas
Stanley's Deep Sea Fishing is highly recommended for a great experience with a knowledgeable crew. It's advised to go directly to the experts and avoid vendors who may not be equipped for deep sea fishing. The crew of the One Love fishing boat provided an enjoyable six-hour trip, catching various fish including Black Fin Tuna, Trigger fish, Blackjacks, Rainbow Runners, and even a Black Tip Shark.
We chartered the One Love fishing boat today for six hours. It started off slow but finally caught a nice Black Fin Tuna after a couples hours of trolling. Stephen and Tony spotted a bamboo tree floating a little later and that’s when the fun began! It had a ton of fish under it and it took all we had to catch one after another. We caught Trigger fish, Blackjacks, Rainbow Runners and a Black Tip Shark! Stephen and Tony really helped out and kept us on the fish. They was very informative and showed us how to hand line them without using a pole! This will be a memory for my son and I forever. Thanks Stanley's Deep Sea Fishing and everybody that works there. We had a blast!!!

Crew was great unfortunately that side of jamaica doesn’t seem to have much fish? Better to fish the north or east shore. These guys give you more of a tour than fishing, evident by not jigging/changing bait, doing something different to attract the fish(like other companies do)etc.
It was good to be on the ocean, but they aren’t that good at producing bites. Mostly just blind driving waiting for a bite. I think these guys specialize more in diving and water sports than fishing. There are better fishing companies in Jamaica, just keep looking. Also they are fairly pricey for what they deliver. Would not use them again.
2 out of 5 solely for the fishing side of the excursion. After $1000 USD all we had to show was 1 small tuna weighing 3 pounds in the boat.
Again, the crew was awesome, very friendly and accomodating. 5/5 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks captain and deckhand for the trip.
If I could give zero stars, I would. I went out with a group for deep sea fishing and it was a complete waste. They troll at ridiculously high speeds. You could literally see the lure skipping across the surface. No live bait was used, and unsurprisingly, we caught nothing.
I gave them a second chance with a bottom fishing trip. We got a few bites, but they were nothing more than tiny reef fish. For about $800 total, I caught maybe three undersized fish. On top of that, I fell during the trip and ended up with a nasty bruise, not to mention getting seasick.
I asked for a refund at least for the deep sea fishing, but have been strung along for over a month with no resolution. Save yourself the money and frustration. These guys clearly don’t care about their customers.
Captain Stanley’s Crew was Professional & Really Great @ what they Do. They will work hard to help you catch Fish. Unfortunately I had an off day with only 1 fish in 7 hrs but not bc of a lack of trying. Seeing Dolphins 15 miles out was an Unforgettable Experience. I’m am for Sure going back out with them again next time. Oh, They even used a smaller boat to pickup my family & add bring them to meet us. We had a Spectacular Time 🐬🐬
Great experience and great crew. I recommend that you go directly to the experts and bypass all the vendors that say they will take you deep sea fishing but not equipped to do so. I had many locals on the beach that say they can take you fishing. Ask specific questions like does your boat have a cabin and bathroom. Not just a umbrella and bucket. You don’t want to get your family out on water and find no shade and no real bathroom. We were pleased with All the staff and hospitality. Will do it again.
I cannot say enough about Stanley's! I have used Stanley's on two separate occasions for scuba diving charters and I have nothing but the absolute best things to say. Stanley and all staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and having the best time. These are some of the greatest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I would highly recommend Stanley's!
My exceptional day with Stanley’s Deep Sea Fishing and Water Sports surpassed all expectations, offering a seamless blend of exhilarating deep-sea fishing, serene sailing, and a delightful encounter with playful dolphins.
From the outset, Stanley’s showcased their commitment to customer service, providing a convenient pick-up from my place of stay, ensuring a smooth and worry-free beginning to my sea adventure.
The deep-sea fishing experience was extraordinary, with the crew’s expertise in trolling techniques leading us to success. Catching a stunning blue marlin and tuna was a thrilling highlight, adding to my global fishing experiences across Oman, South Africa, Cyprus, Ecuador, France, Australia, the USA, and many other countries. The cleanliness and maintenance of Stanley’s boat were unparalleled, standing out as the most pristine I have ever encountered in my extensive travels.
Sailing on a Hobie Cat offered a more intimate and personalized adventure. With just the guide and me, we navigated the waters, fully immersed in the tranquility and beauty of the ocean. The guide’s skill ensured a safe yet thrilling experience, capturing the essence of sailing.
A magical moment unfolded as a group of joyful dolphins graced us with their presence, leaping alongside the boat and adding a touch of wonder to our adventure.
Stanley’s, a locally-owned operation, truly stands out for their genuine warmth and dedication to providing a memorable experience. The crew’s passion for the sea and their community shines through, creating a welcoming and professional atmosphere that feels like home.
In conclusion, Stanley’s Deep Sea Fishing and Water Sports offers a comprehensive and unforgettable sea adventure, combining the thrill of deep-sea fishing, the serenity of sailing, and the joy of wildlife encounters. Their attention to detail, cleanliness, and commitment to local values make them an exceptional choice for sea enthusiasts. I wholeheartedly recommend Stanley’s, and I am grateful for the memories made during this unparalleled day at sea.
The captain does the same thing every time out, goes out for 1.5 hours turns around for the next 1.5 hours then goes a long shore for about 1 hour. No electronics, no real experience, we're serious fishermen and understand you can't always catch fish but these guys don't know anything about deep sea fishing. Don't waste your money

Despite its name, the bay offers a tranquil escape with soft sands and calm waters perfect for swimming. The area is home to several beachfront resorts, including Sunset at the Palms, which offers a romantic setting with treehouse-style accommodations and a range of land and sea activities.
We walked along this beach most days in Nov 23 ... Beautiful and serene with clear waters...met a nice Man too called Roshan selling his home grown herb which was delightful 😊...worth looking him up if your in need ...

Beautiful Beach, however if you aren't part of one of the many resorts along the front, you cant sit anywhere, Not even on the sand... except one small area which has little to no shade.
Got told by security of one of the resorts that i couldnt sit in the shade of one of the trees on the beach unless i was part of his resort.... how pathetic...
Beautiful beach! We went second week of June so we had some cloudy days and major rain but it was still fun! You can find quite a bit to do on the beach. I had cookie put French braids in my hair because it was so hot! You'll need that ladies!
Incredible beach, very clean. No seaweed and no waves
Beautiful beach and crystal clear, warm water. Nice length for a good walk , clean beaches and lots of hotels to choose from.
One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. So tranquill and chilled. We went at the beginning of June and the water was so still and warm. Perfect day out and your not mithered like maybe other more popular beaches
Nice beach, the north end in front of RIU negril is ugly and full os seagrass... i recommend the south part were water is cleaner near RIU tropical, we were not staying on the hotels so we arrived with a route taxi, there are 2 options to eat and both very expensive
Amazing Beach with a collection of Top notch Resorts for groups, families, individuals and couples. Safe and Hassle Free worth the 1.5 hour ride from the airport. Swimable water with visible sealife, snorkling, paddle boarding and light sailing. Look no further!

Abeokuta Paradise Nature Park
Mentioned on
Park
Nature & Parks
Abeokuta Paradise Nature Park, opened in 2003 and named to honor the Nigerian ancestors of Jamaican laborers, offers a serene and natural experience. The park's steep road leads to a hidden gem where visitors can enjoy guided nature walks, taste freshly picked coconut water, and take a dip in Jamaica's oldest pool. While the park may be challenging to find without Google Maps and lacks clear signage, it provides an authentic Jamaican water experience with its freshwater Olympic-size swimming pool.
We came across Abeokuta via Google maps when looking for interesting places to visit which were not the usual fair.
Firstly, follow the road as per Google map as there is no sign on the entrance of the road that you're on the right "path". Secondly, be sure to go in an SUV or similar rugged vehicle as the road is a dirt track. Thirdly when you get to the top of the road you'll see a heavily obscured sign and that is the entrance road to Abeokuta. Follow it but be warned it is a steep dirt track. Once you do this you'll have been on an adventure but what lies ahead is worth all this.
They don't get many visitors as it's not on the main tourist lists which is great because it become a private experience for you. We did make contact via WhatsApp first to check it was ok to come and we we're answered straight away so we knew when we got there the bar/restaurant was closed.
Please wear sturdy footwear if you take the tour (it's optional but it's worth doing) preferably something you don't mind getting wet or dirty. Also wear insect repellent if you're not already bit you will be.
The tour by Boogie (I hope I spelt that right) is very informative, funny and inspiring. You get to walk along the aqueduct and take in the history, nature and environment. You're then taken through the community which is their home and place of work where you can see great crafts skills.
Just before you arrive at the pool of water the history of the land and inhumanity of man really hits home as there in front of you are the remnants of a enslaved peoples holding pen and office. However because you start the tour focusing on the present and future, and you are there to see the community and the unique place they have created the past become just that- the past. So although the circumstances of the pool's existence is tainted, the spirit and legacy of people who created it and their skills, knowledge and ingenuity live on through the celebration.of life, nature and the environment that is Abeokuta.
The pool (which you can use without the tour) changes colour like the sea depending on the sun. you'll be shown how to use the rope swing if you want. The views of Petersfield and it's hills are breathtaking. There is a waterfall too which you can follow down.
We saw photos of people getting married here and I'm not surprised as it is the most idyllic setting. The peacefulness and tranquility of the place leave you feeling stress free and relaxed to the point you can easily forget time exists and fall asleep.
This is a perfect place to understand what makes Jamaica, Jamaica.

This place is a private residence. The owner lives here with his family, but gives tour of the plantation and allows the use of the pool for a fee ($10 USD).
Recommend driving in from the south end (much better road).
History hides here.
A slice of Naij in Jamaica. Beautiful scenes, wonderful natural cool mineral pool. A lovely visit indeed! No food offered as it used to but still a fantastic spot!
Great places as usual nice and quiet surroundings
My husband daughter and I visited the Nature Pk very recently and were not disappointed. Its not an easy place to find so best to use Google maps . The road is steep so be prepared but it's a hidden gem. Our guide boogie the owners son was excellent taking us on the nature walk explaining about all the plants fruits and waterfalls and streams . We tasted freshly picked coconut water, It is so peaceful and natural . Definitely a trip worth taking a memory we won't forget.
The community of Abeokuta and the nature park is greatly in need of infrastructural development a proper road is a must. The nature park can be enjoyed, but when visiting bring things that can make u comfortable. The ministries of tourism and culture should think about developing the area
What's there not to love about getting to take a dip in the oldest pool in Jamaica? This place is amazing! Google maps gets you close. I had to ask locals how to get there. Unfortunately, there's not a single road sign for this place which would have been very useful while I was trying to find it. There is no food at the venue so bring your own. I wish I would have known that...I would have stayed and enjoyed the place longer.
It's a very relaxing and comfortable environment for you to enjoy with friends and family

Best way to kick off 2025. Absolutely loved loved it! Tubing was great, the guides were so professional and attentive.
George, the owner, was a riot and a half. Loved his stories and talking with him! Love the Yardy River Team. Nuff love❤️
The river is sweet. Would go back right this second! Looking forward to going again.
It was the most amazing experience! The guides were very attentive and kept you from hitting the edge of the river. They explained things and we had a ball. I would highly recommend this adventure. We went the week after Christmas on a Sunday. There was no one else there and we had the river to ourselves. I would recommend you wear water shoes. Thank you gentlemen We will be back next Christmas.
This was an awesome experience. The river is breathtaking and relaxing. The natural jacuzzi is nature's gift that keeps on giving. Vibrant and friendly staff. We will definitely be back this summer. Best River Tubing experience in Jamaica.
"I recently had the chance to visit the new and developing water attraction in Williamsfeild, Westmoreland and I was blown away by the experience! Although it's still under development, the potential is already evident. This place is like a hidden Gem 💎. If you are in for an authentic Jamaican experience, believe when I say this is it.
I had the chance to do River tubing (first timer 😅), and I must say the experience was amazing, for a brief moment I had forgotten about life and its challenges as relaxation creeped in as I cruised downstream. I also stepped out of my comfort zone for a second time and did horse 🐎 back riding, which was another magical experience.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained by the beautiful Sharlene.
What really impressed me, though, was the vision for the future of the attraction. The developers have amazing plans in store, I can already imagine how much fun it's going to be when it's all complete!
I'm so excited to see this attraction continue to grow and develop. It's already a great place to visit, and I have no doubt it's going to become a must-see destination for anyone in the area and visitors from overseas. Don’t take my word for it, go experience it yourself.
Keep up the fantastic work, and I'll be back soon to do the ATV tour.
"Yardy river Adventures in Jamaica is a must-visit! The river tubing experience is absolutely breathtaking, with the cool breeze and stunning scenery making it an unforgettable adventure. Afterward, enjoying the spicy jerk chicken is the perfect way to top off the day. Truly a 5-star experience!"
Amazing Adventure – Tubing & Horseback Riding Fun!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This adventure park is an absolute gem! The tubing experience down the beautiful river was nothing short of breathtaking—crystal-clear waters, stunning scenery, and just the right mix of relaxation and excitement. The staff made sure we were safe while keeping the fun going, and the ride was smooth yet thrilling!
The horseback riding was equally fantastic. The horses were well-trained and gentle, making it enjoyable for both beginners and experienced riders. Riding through scenic trails with such a peaceful atmosphere was a truly unforgettable experience.
Everything was well-organized, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and the entire day was filled with fun and adventure. Highly recommend Yardy river adventures for anyone looking to create amazing memories! Can’t wait to come back!
This river is absolutely stunning! The crystal-clear water, soothing sounds of the current, and lush green surroundings make it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Whether you’re swimming, tubing, or just dipping your feet in, the cool water is refreshing on a hot day. The peaceful atmosphere and fresh air make it a must-visit for nature lovers. I could spend hours here just enjoying the beauty. Highly recommend!

My family and I spent the day with Evette and Captain K during an excursion while in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This was one of the best parts of our trip. Evette was our tour guide and Captain K was the driver. They were awsome. Since we didn't really know what we wanted to do, they took us around town for shopping, to a small fruit stand where they had the freshest, and sweetest fruit ever. Then they took us to a beach where we were entertained by the locals. If you go to Montego Bay, you have to ask for Evette and Captain K. They took great care us while we were there.

Very aggressive driving. We were leaving the hotel (guests) and the driver was extremely aggressive in honking us and undertaking us after.
Unnecessary and dangerous driving.
the company really needs to train their staff that a tip is for amazing service, and not mandatory. asking the customer "make sure ya leave a tip mon" is unacceptable.
otherwise the drivers get you from a to b no problem.
I'll never travel to Lucea without this trip planner again

Waterfalls
Mayfield Falls & Mineral Springs is a captivating natural attraction nestled in the mountains of Jamaica, offering a serene and rejuvenating experience for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can immerse themselves in the healing mineral spring waters and explore two waterfalls, numerous water pools, and charming gazebos set against breathtaking backdrops. This crowd-free oasis allows guests to climb into the cool river surrounded by lush bamboo thickets, swim through an underwater tunnel, and enjoy the invigorating natural Jacuzzi created by the falls.
Visit this spot! It’s so amazing - we think it’s much much better than Dunns River. It’s more off the beaten path but less touristy and a true glimpse of Jamaica’s beauty.
We had a taxi take us from Grand Palladium and then a local Mayfields guide - Shane - walked us through the falls. He was so fun and knowledgeable. He was one of the best guides we’ve ever had on any tour ever.
We 100% recommend!
Jacqlyn B — Google review
It is a beautiful waterfall. Our guide was wonderful. The grounds ambiance is very welcoming.
The only downside to the trip experience is getting there. The road conditions could be better than what they are right now.
Bring water shoes!!! Our only annoyance was having to pay $7 each to rent icky torn up water shoes on top of the $25 entry fee. You can’t do the excursion without and wish we read about this in advance. The experience itself was great. Our guide Dave was friendly and welcoming and took nice photos of us during the hike. Request him. The waters were cool and refreshing and it was a nice day away from the bustling beach. We didn’t run into anyone else at all during our hike so it felt very special. Our legs were quite sore the next day so we definitely needed this little workout!
When I say Dave was such a phenomenal guide, that is understatement. From making sure we had anything we requested from fresh pineapple and coconut water, it was prepared. Us having fun and our safety was is top priority. Last he knew how to capture all our meaningful moments while doing excursion. I would highly recommend this activity and Dave.
We had a fantastic time hiking the waterfall. Our guide was super attentive and friendly! We did have a slight problem with mosquitoes, just something to be aware of. Our guide took wonderful pictures for us as well!
Magical, Unique, and Forever in My Heart
I’ve been coming to Jamaica since I was a kid, and now at 40, I can confidently say that Mayfield Falls is one of the most magical and unique places on the island. No matter how many times I visit, I’m always in awe.
The spiritual and breathtaking nature walk through the river is like nothing else — it’s peaceful, healing, and full of natural beauty. Every step feels like a reset for the soul.
And the food! There’s a lady who has been working there for years, and let me tell you, her cooking is hands down some of the most amazing food you’ll ever taste in Jamaica. Authentic, flavorful, and made with love — it’s unforgettable.
I honestly can’t say enough about how much I love this place. Mayfield Falls will always be a part of my Jamaican story, and I’ll never stop telling people how special it is.
This was a very beautiful and exciting excursion.
The water was cool and water flow /current was strong but thankfully we had Super David - our very knowledgeable and impressive guide who helped us to negotiate the quarter of mile tour.
David advised us of every single crevice and hole to avoid and exactly where to step safely. David knew the falls like the back of his hand.
David was reassuring, funny and friendly guide who was safety conscious. Plus he took priceless pictures of us at various stages of the tour.
If you need to do this tour David is the man
Big up yourself David - One Love
We drive because we had rental car but anybody can go there by a car or having a local guide take you there also there is a $25 entrance fee per person. The good part of this place is once you come out after the excursion they also offer a meal and the prices are affordable.
The people over there the guides are really knowledgeable and when you go through the falls, it’s really easy. It’s not a very dangerous or complicated hike, but after the excursion the way back coming up has a kind of a steep walk so if you are not good walking steep Hill. This will be a challenge for you. Our guide Andray was amazing, friendly and very patient and took our time and privacy. Also he also showed us about a lime stone massage that we applied on our whole bodies (kind of mudd full with minerals that are good for the skin).
The visit to a breathtaking natural waterfall in Jamaica was nothing short of magical surrounded by tropical greenery and soothing sound of cascade water. This hidden gym offered a perfect escape into nature the crystal clear water with refreshing, cool and making it an ideal spot to swim and relax.
Overall, visiting this natural wonder was unforgettable experience that left me feeling rejuvenated and connected to Jamaica’s incredible beauty. I can’t wait to return.

Visitors rave about the engaging experience with dolphins—these intelligent creatures perform delightful tricks and allow guests to swim alongside them.
A Fantastic Day at Dolphin Cove in Montego Bay
Our visit to Dolphin Cove in Montego Bay was such a memorable experience! From the start, the staff was welcoming and made everything easy and enjoyable. It’s clear they care deeply about the dolphins and their guests, and that energy carried through the entire day.
One of the highlights, aside from the incredible dolphin interactions, was meeting Marice in the gift shop. She was so kind and helpful, with a great eye for recommending thoughtful souvenirs. Her warmth and genuine interest in making sure we found just the right items really stood out and added a personal touch to our visit.
The dolphin swim itself was amazing—getting up close with such intelligent and playful animals was a dream come true. The trainers were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about their work, which made the experience even more special.
Dolphin Cove is a perfect blend of fun, learning, and relaxation. Whether you’re there for the dolphins or just soaking in the atmosphere, the staff truly makes it a place worth visiting. It was a day we won’t soon forget!

This was absolutely the best part of our trip. We love the dolphin Cove swimming with the dolphins. 🐬 such a great experience the birdcages, the ostrich, the sharks, the Monteray the dolphins were the best. They are so precious and they take such good care of them here. I was so impressed ! Thank you so much to our dolphin trainer Sheldon he was so great with the dolphins and with our group of people that had small children. Patient kind and was great experience for everybody.
I had a wonderful experience. Dolphins was amazing. Birds was beautiful. I didn’t like that we bought a photo package each 77$ a person (3 people) and they only wanted to send the photos to one person. After a little back and forth and explaining we spent over 600$ including the tickets to get into dolphin cove we should be able to get our pictures sent to us individually. Other than that the experience was amazing. Trainers was excellent with each animal they was in charge of especially Fritzgald (dolphin trainer) and the lifeguard was on hand and at my side because I was scared. Food was good and had alot of choices of food to choose from.
We had a great time. Veronica took the best pictures to capture the moment. Thank you to Nordia for being the bet trainer ever. I am sure we’ll return.
Christopher and “noidea” were so amazing!!!
Our dolphin encounter was absolutely unforgettable. The experience was organized perfectly from start to finish, and the dolphins were incredible to interact with. What really made the day special were our two tour guides who were so friendly, funny, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They made everyone feel comfortable and excited, sharing fun facts and keeping the energy high the whole time. Easily one of the best excursions we’ve ever done.
Very chaotic to gain entrance. One person to process all guests. WiFi very poor could not connect to get access to online tickets. Once in a very enjoyable time had by all. Food of a good quality
This was an amazing experience. We did the royal package. Oakley was our trainer and he was so knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Our dolphin friends were Miguel and Alex. Miguel is now my new best friend. I loved meeting the dolphins! Great photos of an amazing experience with the dolphins. Viewing and downloads were easy and user friendly. Veronica was so very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend!?

Had the pleasure of meeting Jackie several years ago on a family vacation. She took us to several sights. Extremely professional and passionate about her country. Had a wonderful experience, highly recommend!!
Awesome and flexible guided tours and transfers
We booked with Jackie's over WhatsApp and she was responsive to all our questions. She was very punctual and super friendly!
We booked a day trip in Ocho Rios. She took us to Ferngully, then to Shaw gardens, which was closed but she went out of her way to track down the groundkeeper and arranged a private tour! Next to Konoko falls garden with a similar experience.
After that she took us to a great lunch spot and helped us pick out different stuff to try. Then to a tour of St. Ann's which was rich with history and old churches.
Next we were off to the Blue Hole where we spent hours swimming and climbing the river. She arranged tour guides and a photographer to follow us. We had a safe fun experience there.
When Jackie dropped us off we all had smiles on our faces and lots of great memories and tons of photos.
She made our week!
We used her for airport transfers and Al drove us. He was also early both directions and got us to and from the airport safe and sound, and quick.
I will use her again next time for sure!
Jackie is the absolute best for your “no worries” Jamaican transportation. She and her staff are prompt, courteous and very, very professional. Jackie’s Tours will not disappoint!
Ms. Jackie is a phenomenal woman who goes above and beyond for her customers. She was able to set my group up with an affordable excursion package including transportation to all our desired destinations. She has a plethora of connections that will allow you to do anything you please during your stay in Jamaica. Book with Jackie!
We had a wonderful time with Nicholas When we visited back in January. He was a wonderful guide, and took us to a couple places off the beaten path that were perfect. He showed us where to get good authentic food, gave tips on the best times to visit certain locations, and Jackie picked out the best places for us to go! Hiking the Blue hole with Papi was amazing. She picked him for us, as he's the best guide and take excellent pictures! If you're going to Jamaica, book through Jackie. She's the best.
Went on an island wide tour, big up Rick our driver. He was so patient and calm with our group. His driving skills are on point with the hilly terrains that covers most of Jamaican's central parishes. Miss Jackie made our trip so relaxing and always prepare just in case you are not prepared for your day. Will return again.
Jackie is fantastic! She is incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable about the history of the area and always prompt. She helped to make a great vacation even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend!

Amazing space , well thought out worth the drive … curated safe manicured glamping spot , has all the amenities you need from a place to charge electronics, to clean bathroom and adequate parking , 24/7 security, outdoor showers ,firepit, warm hospitality and the whole shibang would recommend this happily with my eyes closed…. All produce on this farm is organic and you get to taste and enjoy produce as a part of the overall outdoors experience…. Is definitely a must do
Love this experience! Yes, the journey was bumpy, but experiencing the two natural spring waterfalls as we got close to property made the journey worthwhile.
We are so grateful to Dylan for the personal tour of this blessed piece of paradise on 'the Rock'. We ate from the land ... jackfruit (like cotton candy), and pineapples. Thank you for educating us about how the land was designed and how it's used. We share your vision and wish you continued success.
We visited a few days after Beryl and, with the exception of a few broken tree limbs, the property looked like it put its own 'forcefield' to protect itself.
Dylan "Who God bless let no man curse!"
Thank you again
Blessings,
Owen, Lisa and Abby
So good I think I left part of my heart there!!! What an amaziingggg experience, from tasting raw honey extracted directly from the frames, to eating fruits hand picked from the trees…❤️
An incredible experience rich in culture and the most amazing fruits! A brilliant tour with deep wisdom and knowledge of the land and its abundance! Would highly recommend when visiting jamaica
I haven't had the pleasure to visit. Though I hope to some day. But I wish all the people and animals of Jamaica safe passage through that monster hurricane Melissa. Peace and love from America ✌🏻💚
This was the best part of our Jamaican trip. The ride here was a bit bumpy but so worth it. Along the way there was a natural waterfall on the road which was really cool to see. Croydon is a huge pineapple farm along with many other different types of fruits. The best part was trying all the fruits. The view of the mountains was also gorgeous. There is a lunch served after your long walk. Make sure you try the organic ginger tea, I've never tasted a drink that good before.
Truly a beautiful location in the mountains.
If you're new to Jamaica, then this a perfect opportunity to see a variety of flora, organic fruits and vegetables and learn some history about the country.
I'll never travel to Lucea without this trip planner again

Beautiful ambiance, the food was delicious. It was a vibe.
Normally a 5 star experience however the service was not great. The food was rushed and underprepared
The crew was fantastic and made for a great wonderful experience. The ambiance was also great with excellent views of the marina, the food was delicious, and the drinks were on point.
Service received from Desmond and Shanique today was top notch! The ambiance was great with excellent view of the marina and the food was delicious. They also have great drink options. I definitely recommend 👌
A fun environment full of friendly people, a helpful staff, and good WiFi that’s free to use are a few of the things I liked about the Montego Bay Yacht Club (MBYC). I haven’t tried the food yet, but it looked tasty enough that I may make it back there before leaving MoBay.
The food was immaculate . This is the first place I went and actually enjoyed my Alfredo. The seasoning was equal it did not have too much of anything. The customer service was great and the price is very reasonable. I’m looking forward to coming back again. Keep that chef for a long term💯
Beautiful views over the harbor and hills.
Settings was charming, and relaxing. A great place to unwind after a hard, stressful day at work...just looking out over the water you could feel the weight of the day lifting.
The food, the food, "lawd" was soo good!
I had the catch of the day, 'parrot fish', delicious!!!. Hats off to the Lady Chef, she know her tings.👍🏽
Highly recommend the Marina Palm Restaurant, be it for a birthday dinner gathering or just chilling.

This experience is a gem! I originally booked on Airbnb and had the host was so kind and understanding when I needed to reschedule my booking.
This garden is run by a creative family trio and their talents in art and passion for botany shines through every aspect of the tour. They are also incredibly warm and welcoming, and very knowledgeable of the flora and birds - you will leave relaxed and well-informed.
Ahhh...Ras natango Gallery and Garden was a fantastic and fun activity as a solo explorer but I could also see this being a really cute daytime date. As a bonus, there are some fun hidden gems for kids to discover along the way in the garden. The views are beautiful, the birds are friendly, fountain is meditative and photos don't quite capture the magic – you need to experience it for yourself!
Wonderful experience today at the botanical gardens. The owner and his wife and son were so knowledgeable and generous And kind, just good vibes all around. We loved the tour Through the Gardens. It was a great experience for us.We would definitely recommend.
Visiting Ahhh…Ras Natango Gallery and Garden was an unforgettable experience. It was inspiring to listen to Ras share the story of how this vision came to life, adding so much depth to the visit. The garden itself is immaculate, full of vibrant colors and peaceful spaces, and feeding the birds was such a joyful and unique experience. The art gallery is just as beautiful, showcasing creativity and passion at every turn.
This is truly a must-visit spot in Montego Bay — a perfect blend of nature, art, and story.
This garden is a well-hidden treasure of biodiversity and humanity. It's an entire experience.
The owners and their son together taught us the history of the place and their interactions with the people of Montego Bay, the different plants, how to behave in nature (with a touch of spirituality).
There are plenty of pieces of art spread out inside the garden, and so much creativity it makes you want to become an artist. If you want to purchase the owners' work, there is a gallery at the end of the tour. Both of the owners are very talented.
The place is suitable for children too. I will let the owners tell you why :)
The lovely humming birds accompany you during your journey, and they don't hesitate to perch on your hand (you won't ever forget the sensation).
The place is so quiet and relaxing, you will return refreshed.
The garden is very well maintained and the diversity of it is exceptional.
If you come to Jamaica, you should definitely go there!
Ahh Rastnatango Gallery and Garden is a TRUE HIDDEN GEM! I'm so grateful for the warm accommodation and exceptional tour experience. As a nature lover, I was blown away by the creativity and educational value of this incredible spot.
Our tour guide was AMAZING, sharing the rich history and award-winning stories behind this gem. The 1-hour garden tour was a highlight, featuring stunning rock paintings, a charming mini village, and a breathtaking variety of flowers.
We also enjoyed the serene pond with vibrant orange fish, feeding the majestic doctor bird, and exploring the gallery's unique paintings – including the incredible eggshell art!
The cool high view, top-tier treatment, and affordable pricing made this experience truly unforgettable. Be prepared to be AMAZED!
Huge thanks to the wonderful family behind Ahh Rastnatango Gallery and Garden – we can't wait to return!
It's was a wonderful tour of a beautiful garden, an enlightened experience and story behind every area of the garden. The wonderful flora and fauna. Feeding the hummingbirds as a great experience. Each art 🎨🎭 piece having their own story, a picture is worth a 1000 words but these pieces maybe worth 10,000. We loved it
We had a wonderful morning exploring this beautiful garden and enjoying the fabulous views. It was so special to see the hummingbirds so upclose and personnel. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Jamaica and we have told everyone we know to visit when in Jamaica. Its off the beaten track, so quiet and peaceful and as we were the only ones there we felt very honoured to be in such a tranquil and special place.

Great beach.. no food though. But very clean, has changing and shower facilities, and parking.
Clare G — Google review
This is only a beach with a snacks table and bathroom. There are a few picnic tables. There is no play ground or any other activities. You are much better off going to doctors cove for a few dollars more.
Hours are 9-5.
Alert 🚨
This Beach 🏖 is NO Longer open for swimming. It is being renovated to be the new terminal to welcome cruise ships 🛳
I love the renovations. The place is really clean and not overcrowdedm nice soit if you wanna hang out with family or friends.
An aesthetic upgrade is required. Once you get past that you can have real fun here. There is a skating rink, go cart ride. If you have little regards foe opinions you can get massaged on the brach. Then you can stay the night for the exotic club.
There is no theme park here. Condemned shanty town filled with junkies and homeless people. It looks more like Chernobyl than a water park. The “go kart track” looks like something out of the flinstones. Watch out for Bigfoot/Bigfeet, local scam artist that tried to rob us at a local ATM. Would highly recommend the Pork Pit across the street though. Amazing jerked chicken!
Price is affordable, beach was not crowded, have place to wash off also to change your clothes, inside parking etc...
Always a pleasure visiting this spot, family friendly venue, very clean beach, life guard always on duty, paid entry but very affordable, snacks and drinks sold on spot also at really affordable prices, and close to all the other food spots in Montego Bay like Pork Pit ( Real good food ), KFC and some others

We absolutely loved this beach! Starbucks right there, as well as Pier 1 restaurant!
Beautiful, clean beach. Highly recommend for a day at the beach. Be aware that on Wednesdays, the cruise ships dock and so will be very busy. Getting there around 2pm on a Wednesday is good.
Beautiful tranquil area! Extremely clean area and beach, but to access this beach and area a small fee needed. Don't worry it's very low and very worth it. Great to chill out, relax, have a walk. And a light bit of snorkeling. Lots to see and nice food around. We spent the day and it was a good day out overall
Such a nicely maintained beach, you pay a fee to enter and can rent umbrellas and chairs. Food was good and reasonable, drinks were pretty good. Beautiful water also just relaxing watching planes landing every now and then.
This is a great beach… very beautiful. They have a lifeguard on the beach and security. They also have a great bar that is nearby with great drinks. The bar is able to accept American and Jamaican dollars very good vibes. The people were very friendly. I even got a celebratory birthday drink from a local. I’m here to tell the story lol. The people are extremely beautiful and you don’t have a lot of people heckling you. You do have to pay for chairs. I think we paid seven bucks. The beat is full of tourists and local so it’s a good mix and you’re likely to feel very comfortable there. Get there early if you want to avoid having to get an umbrella and use a tree for the ultimate shade they also serve food. We had beef and chicken patties. They were steaming hot and delicious. The bathrooms were clean. all in all very good beach.
Nice beach. Great view.
Got shaded places under tree if you are worried to get burnt, plus the rental umbrella, you should be fine.
Got all facilities you need and are pretty clean.
It would be 5 stars if the stuffs can be nicer. We asked a lady who works there for helping us take a photo for all, however, she just turned around and ignored.
Doctors Cave Beach is located off the famous Hip Strip of Montego Bay.
Access is via the Hip Strip, it’s a fee paying beach, the beach is impeccably clean with clear waters so you can see the sea life, if you venture out a little you can snorkel and see amazing sea life.
There is bar serving drinks , cocktails and bar snacks , there is a Starbucks overlooking the beach so coffee and everything Starbucks is available.
There is a bouncy thing you swim up to and bounce on or just chill and lie on, the beach can get busy from time to time, but that’s because it’s the place to hang out.
The white sand, the clear sea, the warm sea and the impressive sealife makes this beach popular with tourists and locals alike

We had a great time and would recommend it to anyone

I went for 7 nights the first week of September with my bf this year. The hotel is in central Montego Bay, directly by the beach. The hotel contains everything you need, drinks are great, food is good but you have to expect local food, the views from the room are fantastic and the facilities were always very clean too. This hotel is honestly perfect for the price you’re paying. The only downside is that the service is a bit slow but that is just the local atmosphere. Be patient , don’t be in a rush and you will have the best time. You will get on site plenty of choice to do activities everywhere in Jamaica safely with a driver and guide with a group. You can also get massages on site in a gorgeous cabana by the sea. I highly recommend it.
My stay here at Grand Decameron is A1. It' s like home away from home. It really a great feeling to be here. I met Erin/Zoey who turned out to be my favorite person in the entire result. She is really a sweet soul. I'm absolutely comfortable and happy around her. She has a really nice personallity that makes any guess feel welcomed. Apart from the beauty, the exceptional exceptional service, luxurious amenities and an unforgettable experience at this resort..... I would definitely return because of Erin/Zoey.... Big up Zoey.... I truly appreciate you.
Worried at 1st after reading some reviews, we were originally booked in to Royal Decameron Runaway Bay, but due to contracts with Tui wd we're changed to Decameron Cornwall. Can honestly say, do not take any notice of he negative reviews. We had a fantastic time, rooms always cleaned with daily clean sheets and towels if you wanted. Food was plentiful and very tasty, always a good selection. 2 L
Ala Carte Restaurants to choose from, can book each Morning for the same Evening, we want 7 times out of 14 Night stay. Beach and views are a little piece of paradise. All the Staff were lovely and friendly. We are already planning a return visit in 2 year's time 😁
Spent 5 days and 4 nights here. I love the atmosphere and laidback environment but I know when you read certain reviews it can lead to “poor service” but once you fall into the groove it’s helpful to relax. I must admit the food was awesome and I loved looking out to the beach. There’s a LOT of free amenities and always something going on for the resort.
Best all inclusive getaway vacation ever! 🌊Turquoise color carrabean ocean, 🏖 clean beach with shade, 🚤kayaking, 🤿 snorkling, paddle board, 🏊♂️ pool side snack bar, 💆♀️spa, 🎸🎵 entertainment, 🍽 lunch dinner buffet with Jamaican food and al a carte two restaurants (reservation required). Fully Staffed place and all seems very polite. Enjoyed tropical fruits 🍉🥥🍍 and pina colada.
We baught coconuts from outside and made a request to a gardner if he could cut it open with his big garden tool. He helped gladly!
Highly recommend 😀
I had one of the worst resort experiences of my life here. The customer service was beyond disappointing — especially at the front desk, where the staff were shockingly rude and unhelpful from the moment we arrived.
We were told that check-in would be at 3:00 PM, so after a 4-hour drive, we arrived around 2:30. At that point, we were told our rooms weren’t ready and to come back at 3:30. That turned into 4:00… and by 6:00 PM, we still didn’t have our rooms. To make matters worse, we had booked our stay weeks in advance for the other side of the resort, but were told upon arrival that it was fully booked and we’d been moved to the Cornwall side — without prior notice or explanation.
When we finally got access to our rooms, they were not properly cleaned or stocked. There were no towels, no washcloths, and not even a bath mat. I called room service, and someone eventually brought a few towels — but when I asked for washcloths, the staff member casually told me, “We don’t provide rags.” When I asked what I was supposed to wash with, she shrugged and said, “I don’t know.” That level of indifference was insulting.
We then discovered that our shower had no running water. When we contacted the front desk again, we were met with nothing but attitude and no urgency to resolve the issue.
Adding to the frustration, we had specifically requested a ground floor room for my elderly grandmother, who has had multiple surgeries and struggles with stairs. Instead, they placed her on the fourth floor with no explanation or effort to accommodate her needs.
And the food? Absolutely terrible — bland, limited, and nowhere near the quality expected from a resort.
I was born in Jamaica and visit often. I’ve stayed in many different resorts across the island, and I can honestly say this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. Between the rude staff, poor accommodations, and lack of care for guest needs, I will never return
From the moment you arrive, the welcome is friendly (complimentary drink), the food available is good, good variety, The coffee is delicious. The rooms are comfortable and clean (personally, an extra pillow would be great). There are a variety of very good events if you don't want to leave the hotel.

We used Club Mobay for arrival and departure. This was our first time visiting Jamaica. We were so happy that we used this service for both arrival and departure. It made the entire process so easy, quick and stress free. I would always use this service whenever we fly into/out of Jamaica. The employees working with us were very nice. The departure lounge was very clean with a nice variety of food and drink offerings. We felt it was worth the money. Great job Club Mobay!

Certainly a retreat from the busy atmosphere of an international airport. I have been to dozens of international airports in all parts of the world and the accompanying lounges. What makes this one stand out is the absolute dedication to service. Without being instructive the staff is actively looking to assist and anticipate the needs of those who have been fortunate enough to wander into this lounge. The food is also great and if it were not for my flight, I would have loved to stay longer.
Worth every penny with kids. We had a good hour and a half to spend in there before our flight. The drinks and the service were excellent. The buffet was actually really good with a large selection. The little nook for the kids was awesome for our six-year-old and kept him busy the whole time.
We were welcomed and enjoyed exceptional service by the super friendly staff! The lounge is very clean and well stocked with great food and drink options. The bathrooms are also well attended to. There is a great enclosed childrens play area. They also have a little spa. This is definitely one of my favorite lounges to visit while traveling!
Definitely great/huge time saver for the lines in immigration (tsa line). You can definitely just drink the price of admission as well.
It was clean, service was very attentive - but food choices were very limited, so I'm removing a star for that.
When the time came to leave Jamaica, the thought of saying goodbye to the beautiful island was tough. But then we had the Club Mobay experience, and it was the perfect final touch to our vacation. It didn't just make the airport experience easier; it extended our feeling of being on vacation right up until we boarded the plane.
From the moment we arrived at the airport, we were treated like VIPs. We were escorted through a special, fast-track security lane, which was a huge relief, especially with all the hustle and bustle of a busy international airport.
Once inside the lounge, we were in our own little world of Jamaican hospitality. The atmosphere was so relaxed and comfortable, a stark contrast to the hectic terminal outside. The lounge itself is beautiful, with different areas for relaxing, working, or even a kids' play area. We grabbed some delicious Jamaican patties and other snacks and enjoyed some drinks from the open bar. It was the perfect way to spend our last few hours on the island—just kicking back, enjoying the food and drinks, and reflecting on our amazing trip.
Club Mobay turned a typically stressful airport experience into a relaxing and enjoyable part of our vacation. It was the best way to savor our last moments in Jamaica, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make their departure as memorable as their arrival.
While the snacks & beverages are nice, the real Club Mobay benefit is the fast line when leaving the airport. Life saver of you hate waiting in lines. Ive had the service both times, this year & wouldn't go back without it. Worth every penny!
Excellent and essential when traveling through Sangster Montego Bay Airport, fast track through the queues. Be prepared to be attacked with dirty looks from the travelers waiting on long lines to get through customs and the check in kiosks. I found a great package deal on Viator arrival and departure lounge access. The arrival lounge is tiny, but understandably so. After flight delays we just wanted to get to our resort. But it was worth it to get adjusted to the pace of things. The departure lounge is where it's at they have a buffet style with finger foods and the beef patties. The jerk chicken wraps are hilariously tiny. But good food and drinks overall. The staff really make it comfortable.

We had an outstanding experience with this company. They provided airport transfers to and from our resort and we went on four different tours with them. All of the staff were extremely friendly and professional. Special shout out to Darlene, who spent an entire day (12 + hours) with us for one tour, the highlight of our trip! Would absolutely recommend and use this company again!

I rarely leave reviews and especially unsavoury reviews at that; however, this is one of those unfortunate occasions. I booked a round trip airport transfer. The ride to my resort was fine. However, my driver spitefully left us after a disagreement (he had a hostile demeanour and attitude because we presented for our 12:10 pm pickup at 12:10 pm [this is not a typo]. According to him, he had been waiting for 10 minutes but we had checked out 15 minutes prior and no one was waiting when we did). We went to get our bag which the resort had behind the desk for safe keeping (because again, we checked out on time and the resort didn’t want random luggage in the foyer pickup area) and then once our backs were turned, he drove off. The resort were sympathetic to us and offered a taxi ride which allowed us to make our flight in time, fortunately. I informed JTL when I got to the airport and was told if I emailed their customer service, the situation would get resolved. I received no response and, of course, I should have known better that they would follow up or rectify the issue. Use this business at your own risk.
I had to wait for the lady that sells the excursions to show up. She was supposed to be there at nine and got there at 9:45. We booked two excursions with her. The first one was to leave that day at 11. They were over an hour late, picking us up. Then the next day the tour guide showed up to pick us up for the next morning’s excursion. She did not call names, I just noticed the name on the bus said Jamaican Tours. I had to walk up to her and ask if she was the correct person. She would not stop having a conversation with other employees at the resort. I had to actually say excuse me for her to stop and then she just pointed at the bus for me to go get on. While on the tour, she was rude, told people to be quiet, and gave dirty looks. I know that they have a code and want you to book with the original company that you booked the entire trip with. But I would recommend using one of the other companies. The ladies with Amstar were extremely nice and helpful. They just didn’t want to take commission away from their counterpart. I wish I would’ve pressed the issue. JTL didn’t even give options of excursions. Just sold the package from a book.
I HATE TOURS BUT......... I loved JTL Tours so much that I am considering giving tours a chance again. Firstly, Dacia Riley was amazing to sell me on this tour and was gracious all the way. Then Ms. Darlene was the most amazing tour guide. Whether you want island history, politics, economics or jokes she was up to the task. Worth every minute of the tour. I cannot say enough about this team that operated from the Ocean Coral Springs Hotel.
I have just come back from Jamaica and what made it amazing was the excursions I went on. I can't recommend Jamaica Tours enough for an amazing time. First of all I was in Bahia grand principal in runaway bay. I booked all my things with Jamaica Tours through an amazing ladies called Dionne Brown. She helped me so much. I've been to Jamaica a few times and she found tours for me to try that was new and I loved them all. She was so helpful, caring, funny and just a star. So if you are ever at Bahia grand principal please go to Jamaica Tours and ask for her. I went on the chukka Dunn's River boat trip, luminous Lagoon tour, Chukka ATV and shopping. All were amazing. The buses, drivers and journeys were all great. Thank you Jamaica Tours till next time I come. And again thank you Miss Dionne.
I’m extremely disappointed in the service provided by Jamaica Tours Limited (JTL). My family and I were scheduled for an airport pickup at 10:05 AM. We were downstairs by 9:50 AM and checked in with the representative, Marlene, who assured us she would let us know when the driver arrived.
The driver didn’t show up until 10:20 AM — late and in a foul mood. He was rude from the start, aggressively throwing our luggage into the storage compartment and snapping at us to put our carry-ons in the front of the bus ourselves. We had done absolutely nothing to warrant that behavior.
When my fiancée realized she had forgotten her passport in the room, she apologized and quickly ran back to get it. Instead of showing any patience or understanding, the driver became angry and shouted that she had "one minute" or he was leaving. I calmly reminded him that he was the one who was late, and we had shown him grace — why couldn’t he extend the same courtesy to us?
He then demanded her name, yelling, and moments later said he was driving off without her. I told him to stop the bus and let us off. He proceeded to scream at my family and throw our bags out of the undercarriage. Then he got back on the bus and drove away, leaving us behind.
I spoke to Marlene immediately and explained everything. Shockingly, she blamed us, asking, “Why would you get off the bus?” I told her we had no idea JTL would provide another car for my fiancée — because no one communicated that. She had nothing else to say and refused to call for another ride. We ended up having to pay $160 (8 people at $20 each) out of pocket for a taxi to the airport.
To make matters worse, we had a jet ski tour booked with JTL during our trip — and they just canceled it without any explanation or rescheduling.
Save yourself the stress, disrespect, and disorganization — DO NOT book anything through JTL. Their service was unprofessional, their staff were rude and unhelpful, and their lack of communication left a terrible mark on what should’ve been a beautiful family trip.
Carter was our driver today. Picked us up at Riu Montego Bay! He made our day exceptional. We Came all the way from North Carolina and was made to feel like family on our private tour to Dunn river falls, and then shopping in Ocho Rios. Treated like family by Carter Clarke!! You were and are awesome. Thank you. 5 stars all the way!!!!
We would not book with them again. Valgeene was our rep and we scheduled all of our excursions in advance for her to day off at the scheduled time of pick up with the driver forget the card machine for payment making us late. She has to have the srover to a different location just to give us reciepts. Day 2 of a 8:00am excursion we had to call her because our driver was not there and she tells us “give her one minute” and hangs up on us without further explanation. We call again she’s saying theres a thire party hick up. We ask what the hick up is (we scheduled in advance) she says “hold on” and hangs up again. So for the third time were calling trying to figure it out because we were scheduled for ATV and Horseback riding at 8 and were now going on 8:30. She calls telling us we have to do rafting today and atvs and auch tomorrow. Well thats not what we planned and prepared for. She wasn’t courteous of the inconviemce and on too off that she tell us “you have 10 minutes to change” and “do you want to go or not” just really rude, not apologetic or customer service savy. Then the driver that she told 10 minutes too last minute was really nasty and rude to us because she made us late being that she changed our plans day of minutes before the rafting excursion. We still have more days to experience with our excursions through them and we aren’t very happy with the inconvenience or the distasteful customer service.

Food & Drink
Hampden Sugar Estate, a distillery with roots dating back to the 1750s, offers an immersive experience for rum enthusiasts. Visitors can indulge in a variety of award-winning rums such as Rum Fire and Hampden Estate Gold while partaking in the Estate Rum Tour. The tour includes exploration of the property and the Great House, providing insights into the evolution of rum-making processes over time.
Great experience learning from a working high end rum producer using the same method since inception. Not a touristy place so if you are expecting a high end wine tasting/bar experience, this isn’t for you. Our hosts, Steve and Shelly were awesome. Good jerk chicken as well! Also offer tastings of their rum as well.

You really have to make an effort to get there. I drove myself but unless you have a screw loose like me you should hire a driver.
The staff was great! Super friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was really informative and we were able to see the equipment up close and feel the heat. Would recommend the tour 100%
Unfortunately there is a however. The price. The cost of the tour was reasonable but the product they offer at the end of the tour was not. The 8yr old rum had good character but left me feeling it needed to be aged significantly longer. In 10 years it would be a stellar rum but it is not there yet. Especially at $65/US ($100/CAN) for 750ml. You can buy better rums that are 4yrs older for half the price.
I would recommend the tour but be prepared for a limited selection of wares to purchase at the end
Amazing tour all around and great people. The place was rich with history and to see the production of one of the world’s best rum was fantastic.
We really enjoyed the Hampden Estate Rum tour. The drive out there, not so much! While visiting Jamaica we booked an excursion to the rum distillery. The bus that took us there was nice but the roads were horrible. The distillery itself was steeped in history and very enjoyable. We enjoyed a lunch of jerk chicken and slammed back quite a few rum shots during the tour. The rum fire was so good we bought a bottle to bring home!!
Stephen is an absolute gem! Very knowledgeable and great charisma! Made the tour worth wild! Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide!
We have been to this tour three times now as the estate is not far from the coast and in a beautiful part of the island. The views over the fields are amazing.
The road has not got any better 😂 be prepared for a bumpy road trip. On the road from Falmouth do not take the first turning to the right which is shorter, as it’s basically off road! It it had been wet the van may have got stuck. The other road has a lot of potholes, so take it slow.
The tour was very well conducted and the staff were fun and friendly. They have a good script that teaches you about their product and the history of the estate and the
Product. The rum punch they served was delicious and a good start. The visit inside the factory is very interesting as it is a working factory. It is very warm when you are standing next to the working equipment.
There is an opportunity to ask lots of questions.
The lunch area was nice and cool with a good breeze. The jerk is very mild and they serve it with a mild sauce. The lunch is a nice break after the very warm tour. More hot sauce was on the table.
In the bar area you get to try two rums. The fire rum is a good mixer into a cocktail.
The only downside of the tour was the shop, where I had to correct the staff member twice as they had over charged me. Check your maths before going to the till for what you wish to purchase.
We had a shore excursion from Royal Caribbean. A great Air conditioned Bus about an hour ride from the port. A forty-five minute tour of the property. Our Tour guides explained the process of making Rum really well. We tasted over proofed Rum for the first time. It was way too strong for Me, but they did add lime and bitter after to help complete the drink. It was a great experience.
Absolutely amazing experience. The property was beautiful and well taken care of. Good to see historical places being preserved and cared for.
Steve was our tour guide and he was excellent, very knowledgeable and an absolute asset to that company. I learned so much that even as a Jamaican I didn't know. Very thorough tour.
Every sense was awakened at that place, so many different scents throughout the tour. The Food was good at the end and the rum was 👌🏽. I would definitely recommend and even revisit.
The one thing I will say is it wasn't the easiest to find so double check the route Google tells you by asking locals.
