Day pass in Bahamas

[Dardreamer]

Does anyone know how much the British Colonial Hilton charges for a day pass when you are docked in Bahamas? Thank you.

$65? With a $40 food/beverage voucher. We preferred Melia (Sheraton at the time - we did the Hilton back when it was $15).

Thank you. Can you tell me how much Melia is for day pass and do you have to get in advance or can you go there that day and purchase. Thanks for your help!

Pass for Melia is $30.00 plus $17.00 for Taxi, does not include food.

Hilton is within walking distance from the Port, niece place to spend the day.

 

You can find all of the info for both on their websites.

You can also take the jitney to Melia for about 1.50 pp. The daiquiri hut across the street is great!

My daughter & I did the Colonial Hilton day pass and loved it. It was $60 for the day; but we received a $40 beverage and/or food credit for that price. It was an easy walk from the ship & that gave us a chance to shop on the way back. The facilities are wonderful...lovely beach with lots of loungers. Poolside there were canopied daybeds, loungers, etc.

The bar/restaurant is beside the pool & we found the service & food excellent.

And, we got lots of great pictures of the ship ... since it was only a 'stones throw' away!

Cheers,

Sandra

We took the $1.50 bus to and from Melia last year and loved it there. I was especially impressed at how there weren't many people there. We bought the passes at the hotel's front desk the day we got there.

There were 9 of us all together, 5 being kids and Hilton would have been way too much $$$ OOP. Food didn't matter as we ate well before we left the ship. We stopped at McDonald's on the way back for something cold to drink and had a blast because apparently they have a happy hour there weekly and we were right in the middle of it. They had speakers and music equip set up and a live singer singing songs with McDonald's references. people dancing and employees passing out noisemakers and throwing handfuls of candy everywhere. I have to say, it was the most fun I've ever had at a McDonald's ever. I have a video of it somewhere.
