Hilton Rose Hall - time vs cost?

[Dan-P]

I was all set to book the Hilton Rose Hall day pass through Jamaica for a Day. However, I got to thinking about the time we are in port (7am - 4pm), the fact that the first pickup by JFAD isn't until 9:15am (according to their website), it takes roughly 30 minutes to get there, a few minutes to check in, and then they depart to go back to the ship approximately 2 hours before set-sail time.

 

With all of the rough math, that basically only leaves four hours in the resort (10am-2pm). I am not sure that is worth $94 pp for two of us. I would think it would be hard to take advanatage of many of the all-inclusive amentities that are being paid for, in only four hours.

 

What is everyone elses experience/opinion about the amount of time that would justify the costs at this resort?

 

I'm thinking maybe just booking one of the beach trips through the ship would be a better option ($29/pp for Chukka Beach break) for what we are looking to do (have a relaxing beach day). Would still probably only equate to roughly four hours at the beach, but would seem more cost effective.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan.

Dan,

I'm contemplating the same thing, although our time in port is from 8:00am-5:00pm. I've heard mainly good reviews of the HRH, but a tough sell for me if I was to only get 4 hours.

Just my opinion
