The staff charged each adult $800 JMD. After showing the staff their pricing on their sign found online, they stated they recently changed it 3 days ago. The staff went back and forth with themselves arguing about what they should charge the group. They couldn’t even give consistent pricing in either USD or JMD.
The child cut off age was 10 years old, so our 11 year old child was considered an adult forcing us to pay the adult price. The food was over priced for the quality.
We paid $150 USD instead of the advertised price of $120 USD for the cabana. We wanted to purchase two cabanas and once we gave them the money, they came back to us asking for more money because they gave us the wrong price before, we settled for one cabana and asked for our money back. They first told us that each cabana was reserved for someone else then told us that they were all free to use once we paid, no other people on the beach used the cabanas so who those cabanas were reserved for, I’m not sure.
There were no other activities that were mentioned (water trampoline, other entertainment, etc.). In total, my group paid over $600 USD for a beach that was NOT worth it. Do not go to this beach unless you want to be charged extra money for who knows what. Ridiculous.

I am disappointed with this beach. We had a large group and they charged adult prices on two kids that are charged kids prices at other Jamaican beaches. Also, when I asked about them looking at our passports they refused saying all are charged the same, even though their website states a difference between Jamaicans and foriegners. Pkus, we wanted one of their covered beach places that we again,being such a large group..five vehicles, get for free at other beaches, and at first was told 10,000 JMD only to have a staff member come to us, in the water, wanting another 8,000 JMD from us.
Personalky, had they waived the beach thingy price or not insisted on charging us like we were rich, we might have stayed longer, which would have meant sales in food and drinks of more than we spent there on access and the shelter.
But now that I have seen how they treated us locals, I am warning all my friends to not bother. Though it is one of the warmer beaches and quiet as well, I will refer my friends to Long Bay beach in Negril or Oche Bay Beach in Ocho Rios as though both are more crowded the staff donor try to overcharge you
Just to note, I am a regular Trip Advisor reviewer and this is the first fully negative review in over ten years.

Not an upscale expensive place. However its right next to them. Good food, very reasonable pricing and the owner has connections. We wanted to snorkel and he phoned a friend. He negotiated a great price that included gear and a glass bottom boat. Older boat, but perfect and affordable. Great beach chairs and cabanas. We came in on a cruise ship, went to the taxi guys and said we want to snorkel for the day without spending my life savings. We talked a while and this place sounded perfect. It was. NICE people, very accommodating. Would return.

Waste of time and money. We booked through our cruise and picked because the price seemed fair. We would have been better off staying on the ship or getting a taxi to another beach.
The welcome drink is a flimsy small cup of basically Kool aid. The music is way too loud and the beach was overcrowded and dirty.
Felt more like a Texas lake then the ocean. Two of our 6 kids got stung by jellyfish. Wish we could get a refund.

I am not sure why the hotel even dropped us off here for an hour. They must have an agreement with the hotel and are getting kickbacks. The staff was rude and would not wait on us. When they finally did, they were upset that we were not ordering more. The food finally came out 30 minutes later and was cold. What a waste of our time.

Rude staff and horrible food. This is a tourist trap that the snorkling tours make you stop at. My wife and I could not get anyone to wait on us. When we finally did, they said "Is that all you want" and rolled their eyes and walked away.

All I can say is CHELSEA!!! She was the most friendly and attentive young lady I ever met. She made me feel at home. Brought my food and my drinks over each time quickly and with a smile. She even recommended a Jamaican nightclub to visit later on that night.
The beach itself is Beautiful white sand and clear blue water.
There was a dj and he was great too DJ Kippo!!
Rum Punch was GREAT!
Food was GREAT!!

Tour guide brought us here thinking our kids would enjoy it. It's basically like a summer break camp. Loud music and a pa constantly shouting.

Scam. Do not fall for it. Beach is small. Way too expensive for what you get. Drivers and company are scam artists.

What is the pricing for riding the jet ski?
Written September 5, 2019
No idea, there are people who do hire them but I don't think they are anything to do Tropical Bliss.
If you do speak them you may be able barter a good price. But these guys own their Jet Ski's so they can charge whatever the going rates are of which I have no idea.
Sorry, hope that helps.

Do they have beach umbrellas for rent? What food was served? Is there a full bar? Cabana rental prices?

There aren't any umbrellas for rent as it is too windy for them to stay planted, there is a full bar and grill that serves delicious seafood as well as local Jamaican dishes and the cabana is somewhere around $100 dollars

Arrivando a Montego Bay quali mezzi posso prendere? Costi per il tragitto?
Grazie!
