Resort for a day.

[ssalaam85]

I was wondering if anyone has done the resort for a day at the British Colonial Hilton in Nassau and if so do you think is it worth the money?

Ask over on the Bahamas board. There are a lot of posts about the British Colonial Hilton.

My family and I did in March. Since the day itself is so short, it was nice to be able to walk out of the port, hang a right, and be there in 10 minutes - as opposed to spending far too much time travelling to one of the major beaches or Atlantis.

 

The beach itself was fine, and the pool area looked quite nice.

 

The food/beverage credit doesn't go nearly as far as you think it would - the three of us had a total of 3 entrees, 4 'adult' drinks and 2 'kids' drinks, and I did end up having to pay out of pocket for part of it.

 

If we went back to Nassau, we'd probably do it again.

We were going to do it one year but another family we knew was sailing on a different line the same day and didn't want to spend the money so we went to Junkanoo beach which is right next door. Beach o.k.

 

Other times just stayed on ship. There are some other resort options there but the Hilton is nice and close.

Google gambree + hotel name. I read an ncl cruise review of his, he went there. He's very thorough!

It's okay, we went years ago when it cost $15, worth it then.

 

Melia is nicer, I believe all of the other hotels are within a 15 minute cab ride, so you're not saving much time with a 10 minute walk (plus we enjoyed the cab ride - there is also a jitney).

I was there a few years ago it was very nice and in walking distance to the pier.

We have done it about 6 or 7 times its a great day for the money. Love the easy walk there,

Wonder how it survived Matthew.

We love it, too, especially the wonderful view of the ships! Great fun to watch them come in and depart! :)

We have done it. Beach is so-so, The pool was nice and enough for lunch and drinks! We would do again or just enjoy the empty ship!

[ssalaam85]

thanks for all the help guys, I think we are gonna do it. Seems like fun and Atlantis is way too much money.

I went to the speech many times at the British Helton there's a snorkel shack right there on the property sometimes we snorkel

at the beach for free we've never paid we usually just go to the snorkel Shack then go swimming

It's 60 bucks and you get a 40 dollar food and beverage credit that does not go far. A better value would be Breezes for 85 bucks with unlimited food and drink.

We've done it and loved it. Yeah, so $40 doesn't go far, so what. The pool was great, the cocktails were even better. You can see the ship from the pool. Last year we decided to try an all inclusive, RUI. We hated it. Watered down drinks and average food. This year we will go back to the Hilton.
