Review summary

the Hop on Hop off is a ripoff when you get to the beach the Jamaicas want to charge you more money to walk on the beach. It was not explained it was not included in the price of the hop on hop off. Jamaica left a bad taste in my mouth

41, maybe a better example would be Key West. Many stops on the route have an admission fee

Its my experience that hop on/off busses never include admission fees to particular sites.

I can understand some confusion, but with a little research, or asking, you would have known. Several have asked on here about Jamaica and it is often said that Doc's cave beach has an entry fee. I have let several know myself. Never assume something is free, or a beach... yes, there are some, but in that case, you should make sure before you go and assume so you won't have this surprise.

I think the problem is that you are dropped off at "beach clubs" that charge an entry fee
