OceansOfTravels Posted May 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hello, My grandmother and I are taking a cruise on the MSC Divina in August, and we are looking for a way to spend our day in Ocho Rios. We have decided on a beach day, and we would like to know of some recommendations that are easily accessible from the Ocho Rios port. We prefer beach clubs and resort day passes, but as long as there are chairs and umbrellas for rent, and restroom facilities, we will be content with anything. Where would you recommend? Could you also include the price of the resort day pass or the chair rentals, and give a ballpark taxi price estimate as well? Thank you so much in advance! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rissa041115 Posted May 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Right at the port is Margaritaville. They have their own beach. You can go to the beach for free. If I remember right the umbrellas and chairs were $5 to rent. There actually wasn't many people there at all. Beautiful beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a pool, or just a beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rissa041115 Posted May 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Once you exit the port, it's maybe a minute walk. Once you get off the ship, it's less than 4 minutes. I included a link below that shows a picture of how close it is. https://www.margaritavillecaribbean.com/locations/ocho-rios/ There are bathrooms. There is no pool.

Rissa041115 Posted May 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sorry! I was wrong. There is definitely a pool. It's a smaller pool. Had to ask my husband :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansOfTravels Posted May 24, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Do you know of any other options that are not Margaritaville? We are looking for a little bit more of a quiet option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rissa041115 Posted May 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 24, 2017 No I don't. We were looking for free and not busy. Margaritaville was perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runner15km Posted May 25, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2017 As you walk off the pier stay to your left to reach Turtle Beach. There is a small admission fee to enter this beach. There is a restroom, food, drinks and chair rentals. Just a 10 min. easy walk, you can see the beach from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jcathers1 Posted March 11, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Can anyone provide any more information on Turtle Beach? Admission price, food, drinks, etc. We have been to the beach at Margaritaville once before, and are considering Turtle Beach this time. What are the differences, for those who have been to both? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
