sgjanice Posted January 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thinking of buying the day pass at the Occidental. Just want a relaxing day with everything included. Any reviews from people that have already done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drychi Posted January 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2015 My wife and I just returned from our cruise yesterday. We did this day pass on January 7th. We had a great time and felt we got good value for our fee. The beach was great, the luncheon was nice, and the pool, bar, restrooms etc were clean. If you want a nice day at the beach on Aruba this is a good all inclusive choice. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegirl6 Posted January 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Was there a place there to rent kayaks and wave runners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poleman88 Posted February 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We are looking at availing of this too. I think you can get the pass right at the front desk when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narling94 Posted May 5, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hello guys, I will be in Aruba in 2 weeks and my family wanted to do this day pass. We are a little skeptical about buying this day pass online...Do you know how safe these sites are? To put credit card info on? Also, is there a limit to these passes, if we were to buy them when we got there at the front desk? Have any of you bought it at hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierste Posted June 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2015 This was the info we received and what we paid for our visit in March: The Day pass has a cost of $77.00 for adults and kids under the age of 12 pay half price $38.50. The day pass starts from 9:00a.m. up until 6:00p.m. and Includes food, all drinks and non-motorized watersports. We did pay for it in advance, which worked out fine, but was odd for me to be sending my credit card info over email. I purposely used a card we don't use often, and then monitored it closely for weird charges. Had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one: http://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/aruba/occidental-grand-resort-day-pass-all-inclusive.html Just not sure if it is "official"...

I emailed the hotel directly and corresponded with them via email. They sent me a form to fill out and I provided them with credit card info.
