That's so funny. We're also planning our trip as once in a lifetime, and it's not until 7/25. I can't stop reading, though, and I'm so excited that I also now wonder if it will really be just a single trip.

About $12/pp, but maybe it depends on how many in the car. There were 4 of us. tagjamaica: taxiandguides@gmail.com

You will pay a little more, but we always email ahead and have a driver waiting for us. The same driver will pick you up at whatever time you tell him. They are very reputable, and we have used them before and after covid. This is from Montego Bay port. You walk out of the terminal and go left to walk out the gate. Be sure and bring your confirmation with you. tagjamaica <taxiandguides@gmail.com

Great excursion if you don't fall! I wouldn't worry about safety in a group.

Following. Our cruise port has been changed from Montego Bay (we loved the beach at Doctors Cave) to Falmouth. Hopefully you'll receive a response here!

This was our third visit to Maya Chan, and it pained me to write the negative post. I love what they have done to create this haven for cruisers but wish I had read posts prior to this visit discouraging me from returning. Yes, they did show us pictures, but several years ago it was also bad, similar pictures, and we still enjoyed our visit. We could swim out beyond the sargassum using floats, and the servers would run our drinks out to us. We still spent much of the day in the water, and it was lots of fun. We thought we would have a similar experience this time but couldn't even put our feet in the water. The smell was awful! The pool was crowded with children, and you know how small it is. I had brought a group of first timers with me and was really embarrassed to have brought them there. One of the men floated out and went over the baffles, and it was full of seagrass growing from the bottom. Yes, the walkway is relatively new. They called it a pier, and the hope was that we could walk to the end and jump in avoiding the sargassum. It probably worked in the beginning..... The staff, food and drinks continue to be wonderful. They had a guacamole cooking/tasting class to keep us entertained, and that was fun. Maybe by October/November the sargassum will be better? I feel so sad for them! At least the last visit they had workers trying to clear the mess, but this time it was hopeless and there wasn't even anyone trying. Although the media says otherwise, I hope and pray that the sargassum will dissipate in the coming years and that this poor family will get a break!

Don't go to Maya Chan! Has been great in years past, but the sargassum in May was so, so bad. Stinky brown water that you couldn't get in. They say there's a pier to help you get beyond it, but this is the pier. They did warn us, but we never imagined it could be this bad.

I have experimented with their refrigerators using a thermometer, and they could not consistently keep the temperature between below the required 46 degrees required for my forteo injections. A week ago, I signed out a Medi-cooler from guest services (Dream) with a $75 deposit. It's small, and sits on the counter. It worked perfectly for me! I also purchased a two part thermometer - one part is a sensor that sits with the medication, and the other part gives readings constantly. Bring an extension cord with multiple plugs because this unit used up the one plug in the room.
