Doctors Cove review & driver review - Me and my friend Tinesha came down and we enjoyed EVERYTHING! The staff was so nice out bartender name was Richard ge kept us smiling and laughing .The food was AMAZING 👏 they didn't hv any wings which was a bummer but the burger we had made up for them not having any wings. The driver was David (Richy)he was great and very nice. He told us a little bit about Jamaica 🇯🇲 and told us some spots to go eat at . Overall the excursion was great ,our driver was awesome ,only thing we have a complaint about is that my friend forgot her pictures in his van and reached out to David yesterday and he told her he would bring the pics to her yesterday and he never did ,she attempted to reach out to him this morning but he didn't respond nor answer 🙄😪

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

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