FloridaMac Posted April 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2019 First time in the Bahamas and looking for a beach resort that's pay-as-you-go vs. all inclusive. My wife doesn't drink, and we're planning to go to the beach after lunch, so there's no way we'll eat and drink anywhere close to the $130 each that places like Melia and RIU charge for all-inclusive. Wide open to suggestions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted April 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I would be interested in something like that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILCIANRQTS Posted April 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2019 You will have difficulty finding a resort that will allow non-guests to use it’s facilities without charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted April 11, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Since you're not going till after lunch, why don't you just take a taxi to Cabbage Beach? You can rent chairs and umbrellas there. The main issue is the lack of facilities (bathrooms) but for a few hours, it might work. Another option would be British Colonial Hilton. It's not all-inclusive but the pass does include a $40 voucher for food/drinks. A few drinks and a snack might use that up. You'd probably want to book that in advance to ensure a spot since you won't be going till later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILCIANRQTS Posted April 11, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This might be one of the few situations where Junkanoo Beach is an attractive option. It’s just past the Hilton. while it’s not at all fancy, it’s “free” ( rent lounger and umbrella) and within walking distance from the ship - cab it if any mobility issues. There are bars for you to get a drink and bathroom facilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think that may end up being our choice, thanks. 9 hours ago, CruisinCrow said: Another option would be British Colonial Hilton.

If we're going to stay ashore for an early dinner vs. return to the ship this could be the best way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted April 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Junkanoo Beach has so many algae I just dont like the feeling underwater and Cabbage Beach has rough waves, you might even find a lifeguard not letting you get in the water. I think my next option is cable beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted April 19, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Our choice would be The British Colonial Hilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pass ends at 5? How about Saunders beach, 15 cab ride and I believe they have restrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
