To flee!! It is not a beach but a sort of beach club with deckchairs, a thin layer of sand and a pool to soak your feet. 500 JMD pp to enter this tourist hell

Cuidado con la gente de la entrada, el precio por entrar son $500 JAM, pero si te ven cara de turista te cobran $1,000, o hasta $1,500. Me sucedió y fui a confrontar a la persona y en seguida me devolvió el dinero…son abusivos, como la mayoría de los jamaiquinos de la industria turística.
