Resort Description
Colorful, moderately priced hotel with Old World charm, just steps from the beach – Budget-friendly with a central location, this family-run hotel is a Montego Bay mainstay. It's named for the white-sand beach across the street, once the private bathing spot of a prominent 1880s-era doctor and now part of a protected marine park. The Old World charm blends with an atmosphere kept lively by rum-punch parties, Jamaican buffets, reggae, and limbo contests.
