“Inquire of all added SURCHARGE prior to booking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I booked this property online and had my rates displayed , upon check out I was informed of an Energy Tax, which was not explained anywhere in or on their information. I called back to have this charge reversed and was promised a call back to date no phone call while I was in the Island. I have no problem paying any fees that I was informed of, this property just seemed to be nickling & diming their patrons , this occured on the Jazz festival weekend. l later went to Kingston to attend a wedding and upon my return Nedless to say, I stayed at another property, The Wexford. So ! you see they lost my additional business and any future possibility upon my return.......

Room Tip: Keep in mind you generally get what you pay for, Do take the time to visit Trip Advisor for previous...

“Great for Experienced Travellers!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel 2010 and 2012 Jan. Both times, rooms were clean. Any shortcomings were fixed immediately upon request. The staff are sincere, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Considering its location (ie. walking distance to beach, restaurants, nightclubs), the price is very affordable. Bartenders are very good in making drinks and entertaining guests. Towels are free, happy hour rum punch is free, referral to taxi drivers is free (but you need to negotiate the price with the driver yourself), continental breakfast is free!! But be aware, there are no organized activities or events within the hotel. Also, due to its location, it's noisy at night. As a global frequent flyer, I recommend this hotel to experienced travellers.

Room Tip: ask for bed size you want.

“Friendly and Fun”

My daughter and I stayed at Doctors Cave Beach Hotel in early November 2011 and had a wonderful vacation. The management and staff are friendly and accommodating and we plan to return in the Spring. Kenny does a wonderful job in food and beverage. There is a Continental breakfast daily and rum punch parties twice a week. When I booked this trip, I knew this was not a luxury, all inclusive hotel because I had stayed there previously; but it is located right on the main street where there are plenty of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. It is across the street from the two most popular beaches in MoBay. Our suite was very spacious and clean and when we had any requests, they were tended to immediately. WiFi was available in the lobby. Looking forward to our next visit.

“Wowww!”

The time of my life. This hotel is on what they call the Hip Strip and is well worth the $. It doesn't come with all the amenities as a 5 star hotel but if you are trying to party with locals and really enjoy Jamaica not a resort in Jamaica then I would most definitely recommend this hotel. And of course, you can walk to Sumfest.

Room Tip: We stayed on the 1st floor. First time to Jamaica so we brought lots of luggage with us. Please be a...
