We were dropped at Doctor's Cave Beach by the recommendation of the bus driver and we immediately wandered over to the Sand Bar. We were very impressed with their food, staff and prices. Extremely reasonable for a tourist location. We ordered a sampler plate which was delicious with their Jerk sauce and had a few Red Stripes. Staff was very... More

We went to doctors cave beach following the dolphin swim excursion through carnival. It was recommended that eat here and it was the only restaurant on the beach that we could see. 2 ships were in port and the beach was super crowded. The restaurant had a difficult time keeping up with demand and charged premium prices for food that... More

This is a pretty obvious choice if you go to Doctors Cave for a day of sun and swim. I can't compare to other restaurants in the area, but we had and excellent lunch here. The jerked chicken was extremely tasty and the shrimp was pretty good. The place is kind of simple, some tables on boardwalk and some umbrellas:... More

This is now the Sand Bar, no swinging chairs or hammocks although the hooks are still there. Not enough front service staff, so the poor girl was very busy and possibly less attentive than normal. OK by us we just wanted to laze the day away. Portions were generous probably approaching American size, but the food was generally dry not... More

The Groovy Grouper has changed ownership and is now called the 'SAND BAR' I have to say that I was not impressed with the 'new place'. Fresh paint, rearranged bar area and total new menu. (that one I really didnt like) The back half of the bar is filled with owners/management on laptops and cell phones. The staff is 98%... More

Try everything. The food was so fresh and delicious. You have a choice of eating at the bar where they have sports on all the tv's or dining at one of many tables in the open air. You are right on the beach and I even saw food and drinks being taken to sun bathers directly on the beach. They... More
