    We just got off Oasis that stopped here. My wife rented one of the cabana things in Columbus Cove. Best money we spent. The staff brought us our drinks so we never waited at the bar and we were real close to that dining area. Absolutely the best way to spend a day at the beach. Oh, the view of the ship was nice too.

      Be careful about getting too far away from the main area. Like they say, it’s a peninsula, NOT and island and there is a fence separating this area from the rest of Haiti. There are some sketchy individuals there that try to get you into their shops. We were there right before Covid. Food was blah, flies all over it. Beach area is beautiful but we decided there was more to do on the ship.

    We visited Labadee in February on the Jewel of the Seas, and I had low expectations of this stop. But, I loved it! There aren't many videos out there of this port that are as bright and pretty as this one, but luckily you had great weather. We did too and found this to be the best beach day. The Zip Line is expensive, but it was worth it, and we had never done a zip line before.
