Recent day pass price for Melia?

[christinalvt]

Has anyone visited the Melia recently and can tell me what the cost for the day pass was?

Thanks!

We called in October and they said it was $45 each. We didn't go then, but we may go next week.

We went last week. I do not recommend it at all. The water there is really rough. The pools are nice, but dirty. Lifeguards are pretty much just taking up space if that matters (we did, brought kids). What did me in was the bathhouse/shower facility was closed. I would have just went to Junkanoo if I had known that! We felt it was a total waste of $$ ($33.25 per adult with a discount from the day pass website).

Don't even think about eating or drinking there. DH got one tiny beer for $8.50 plus tip. I tried the Starbucks and it was $6 for a tall.

 

We did have fun on the #10 on the way there. Got to see the police station and have drop off service at the Melia after we were in a fender bender.

 

The Daquiri shack is worth the trip, and the straw market is much less aggressive with actual local craftspeople. [emoji6]

I wonder if it was storm related? Unlike cabbage beach, the water there is usually really calm (which my kids really complained about, they love our jersey shore pounding waves), the pools clean, and the bathhouse open. Maybe some Matthew issues?

Might be Matthew. It just seemed really rough and disappointing. If I ever book a day pass again I will call the resort and check on the bathrooms! [emoji6][emoji4] we are used to Jersey and DE beaches so it was pretty rough.

Thanks for the info, everyone! We decided to just stay on the far western (less crowded) side of Junkanoo, save the $45 pp, and eat at the Fish Fry instead.

Is this the same hotel? Price stated on website $60 plus $40 food voucher. 10 min walk from ship. Thanks

[christinalvt]

No I was talking about the Melia, which is on Cable beach, a bus ride away. The one that's a 10 minute walk is probably the Hilton Colonial.

We went to Melia on December 13, 2016. The day pass is $45 and includes a voucher for one beverage at their Starbucks. Took the #10 jitney bus from near the cruise port terminal. $1.25 USD per person each way.

Have been to the Melia many times (when it was the Sheraton too) and have had good experiences. Hope this experience was storm related. We never had a problem with rough seas or dirty pools. Hope folks will continue to report back on conditions there.

We will be going to the Melia in January so I really hope this was just weather related. I will post back after we return with an update
