We enjoyed the beach at the Hilton. Water was very clear and blue but a bit choppy on a windy day. Plenty of chairs and room for kids to roam and dig in the sand. We plan to return on our next cruise next month.

We got off of the Breeze yesterday after a wonderful week. It was our first time cruising. We went to Hilton Rose Hall from Montego Bay and had an incredible day.We booked through Jaital. We picked up bus outside of terminal around 945. We had a nice bus ride of about 25 minutes and the guide gave us info on the island and played Bob Marley music.

We pulled up to the Hilton and it was beautiful. We paid our remaining balance, and we headed to the beach. We were on the beach by about 1045 am and our pick up time was 330.

I read a lot of negative comments on here about the beach, but not sure why. Beach was smaller, but beautiful with clear blue water.

Our kids loved the water slides, and the fast jets in the lazy river. They did enforce 48 inch height for tube slide which my youngest son didn’t meet.

They had a live band all day playing good music.

We had delicious lunch by the water with a waitress. I also found the jerk shack which you would miss if you didn’t know it was on the other side of the beach and kind of hidden. Jerk pork and chicken was amazing.

Drinks were tasty and plentiful. The best was the Dirty Banana.

We felt like we had plenty of time there, but would have been fun to have a few more hours to explore the resort.

This resort and Jamaica ended up being one of our favorite days of the trip.

We always felt safe and were never hassled although we didn’t really venture out.

Thank you to all for info on this board before the cruise . Ya Mon!

Hello all, we will be first time cruisers on the Breeze Western Caribbean in July. I have searched these boards at length and enjoy the information . I am stuck on what to do in Montego Bay. We are trying to avoid long drives, but want to see some of Jamaica. These are things that we are thinking about with active 6 and 7 year old boys.

1. Carnival Excursion at Good Hope Estate with pool,and ropes course-mixed reviews online

2. Private tour with Chester tours through Montego Bay and end up at Doctors Cave beach/Margaritaville/pork pit

3. Private tour with Chester tours to Negril-seems like too long of drive

4. All inclusive resort-but don't want to miss out on seeing the country.

Thank you in advance for any advice or tips.
