Montego Bay, Jamaica Port Reviews

I know this destination gets a bad rap, but the beach excursions we went on were fun and not overcrowded, and best of all, it was private.

Our excursion was about the only thing we enjoyed about this port.

The town is dirty. People come up to you left and right and ask if you want to buy drugs. It get's annoying. They need to do something about that. The tour I took though was really good and we got to learn a lot about the town the tour leader was amazing and I wish I could give Jamaica more stars because I was so excited to visit there. Irie Trail Tours was amazing and I def recommend them. However Dr's Cove beach was awful. Some people are so unfriendly. But we got in and when we went to sit down the maintenance guy told us that we can pay $8 each for the chairs and they would take our money. We told the front and they were so upset because they were just going to try to take our money and also the price was $7 per chair which was only 2 chars. So they were trying to make money off us and split it. So we ended up getting our money back and we went to Margaritaville...It was a nicer vibe there but do not go on their slide. It is pretty dangerous. I plugged my nose (DON'T DO THAT) and my nail dug in my nose and the impact was so hard that I think I broke it. I need to get an xray to confirm it but I am sure it is broken. I was bleeding all over the place but I couldn't see luckily. The slide operator was amazing though and 2 men took very good care of my wound and helped me out tremendously. We gave them a little tip for the help since they went so far to help me. But also swim there at your own risk.

Went to Rose Hall Mansion. Very informative and interesting tour.

Got a taxi and explored. We now know, if we return to Jamaica, it would be best to book an excursion. We were followed and haggled by every local we passed.

I think this is an out of the way port, far from fun things to do. The snorkeling is pretty nice

STAY ON THE SHIP! Dangerous port. Maybe you could book an excursion through Carnival and feel safe??

We had a tour of the city, shopping, and beach time (used a non-carnival excursion). I did not like Jamaica but the beach was lovely. Good snorkeling.

Had a great excursion

Did an independent tour and still felt a little unsafe in this country.
