mrneil001 Posted February 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dr Caves beach was amazing. Beautiful and has everything on your checklist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalker Guy Posted February 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I second Doctor's Cave. Were there last week. Not a large beach, but some shade available, nice beach, decent snorkeling with some nice coral heads, a bar with friendly food and drink service.

39august Posted February 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2015 So how do you get to Dr's Cave beach from Falmouth, please? I thought it was too far to taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalker Guy Posted February 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So how do you get to Dr's Cave beach from Falmouth, please? I thought it was too far to taxi. JaiTal runs buses, also can hire a private car from them, board within the cruise enclave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aricardo Posted February 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How far is the ride from Falmouth to Dr. Cave's and how much did they charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted February 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How far is the ride from Falmouth to Dr. Cave's and how much did they charge? Doctors Cave beach is in Montego Bay. It's about a 25 minute ride (give or take 10 minutes). You can taxi or take a tour there from Falmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltsnh Posted February 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Last week some people in our group went to Iberostar Rose Hall. 65.00 plus cab. They loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalker Guy Posted February 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How far is the ride from Falmouth to Dr. Cave's and how much did they charge? Were there 2 weeks ago, used JaiTal tours private car for 4 for $35 pp, pickup in the cruise port enclosure, fee included $6 admission to Dr's Cave beach. JaiTal also operates buses for $20 pp round trip. About a 30 minute ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rch3 Posted February 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Resorts for a day let us down on our 2013-2014 New Years Sailing on the Breeze. Booked the AI to Jewel. Van never returned to pick us up for return to the ship. Didn't answer the phone as departure time approached. Resort personnel were accommodating in calling a cab. Extra $35 to cab back to the port was inconvenient. What really set me off was the lack of any response to my post - cruise written complaint. Won't use them again. Had a great time at Jewel though. Highly recommend. Just leave a little time for alternative transportation back to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reallife Posted March 14, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Has anyone responded to the distance from Falmouth to Jewel?? I'm wondering if you dock at Falmouth and take the resort for a day to Jewel, how much time do you actually get at the resort?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I could tell is that if you use their transportation only about 4 hours. If you use your own probably like 5 1/2 not enough to make it worth while for me.

rch3 Posted March 15, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 15, 2015 How far was the Jewel from Falmouth? Sorry. We were at Ocho Rios. Can't help with Falmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljzelenz Posted March 25, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thank you for contacting Resort for a Day! I would be glad to assist you with this: Includes Round-trip Transfers: Deluxe motor coach transportation is included from the cruise ports of Ocho Rios or Falmouth Jamaica. The resort is a convenient 30 minute ride from the port of Ocho Rios and a 40 minute ride from the port of Falmouth. The shuttle departs 45 minutes after your cruise ship arrival time and picks you back up 2 hours prior to your cruise ship departure time. For ships arriving before 8:30am, the transfer will depart at 9:15am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovecruzing Posted March 25, 2015 #22 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thinking of going to Doctor's Cave Beach in the next few weeks while we are there, does anyone know if the water drops off? I am not the best swimmer so for sure would like to know this information. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted July 3, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 3, 2015 can you just get off the ship in Falmouth and grab a cab to doctors Cave? Also, last time we were there the chairs were horrid. Do they have actual loungers now instead of crappy deck chairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
