Eden Beach or Plaza Resort

[lakegirl16]

My husband loves to snorkel and I prefer the beach. Which has the better beach, facilities and snorkeling, Eden Beach or Plaza Resort?

 

Thanks.

We just came back from a cruise that featured an excursion to Eden Beach Resort. If that is where you are going, it is a construction site and not worth your time. Fortunately, we and many others got our money back from Princess for the excursion.

We went to Plaza Resort last week and loved it. They have a little booth set-up outside of the cruise terminal gate. They quickly gave us a ride to the resort, showed us where to get the day pass, showed us where all of the facilities were, etc. We paid $10pp and had a wonderful day. They have a nice pool, nice bathrooms, a restaurant (we didn't eat there) a bar (we DID drink there!) and awesome snorkeling :) They have cabanas and beach chairs set-up on the beach and we had no issues with finding a nice spot in the shade. I think we were the only ship in port that day, so that may have had an impact. It might be busier there if more cruise ships are in town. The one thing we didn't see was towels, but we didn't ask either. I recommend taking towels with you.

 

At the end of the day, we walked back to the day pass desk for the shuttle ride back to the ship but there were a few people in line ahead of us, so we decided to walk. It's only about 4 blocks and a very easy walk. The shuttle driver felt really bad and kept insisting that we wait for her to come back, but we didn't (we're rebels like that). She ended up dropping off the second van-full about the same time we arrived.

 

Everyone we encountered was really nice and we felt like we could easily spend an entire week at this resort.
