Is a Day pass at Jolly Beach worth it.

[Cruising Capones]

I'm going on a Southern Caribbean on the Adventure of the Seas mid October of 09. We are looking for somthing to do in Antigua. We are leaning towards the Jolly Beach Day pass. Has anyone done it recently? Is it worth it? Or does anybody have any other suggestions. We don't want to snorkel as we are already doing that at another destination.

You don't mention the cost of the day pass so I can't comment on the value.

 

I will say that we spent a week at Jolly Beach and loved every minute. The food was very good (not gourmet, but very good), the beach is gorgeous, plenty of Hobie cats and Sunfish, big pool, live music, and a pina colada slushy machine. We were very happy with our choice.

We just returned from Jolly Beach and yes it is worth it. We told the cab driver we had reservations, but we didn't, just wasn't sure if he would take us. We paid $60 a person and that included breakfast, lunch, drinks, chairs, float mats. There may be more but that is all we used.

 

It is beautiful there. So many shells if your into that. I recommend it you won't be dissapointed. Not crowded at all.:)

We were just there Sept. 25 and did the $60 pass from 10:15 to 5. It was great food and drink, good pools, quiet this time of year. It includes non-motorized water sports so a Hobie cat sailboat was available and included. (They have several there for guests). You take it out yourself. Also kayaks. And there were jet skis, etc. available if you want to pay for them. We loved that place.

Is the day pass something you need to book/purchase in advance or can you just make your way to the beach and pay when you get there?

[cowetamom]

You do not have to purchase in advance. Just take a cab and you tell them at the front desk you want a day pass. From 10:15am to 5:00 pm it is $60 a person.

Can you visir Jolly beach without paying a fee? Also, what is the mode and cost of transportation from the pier?

Thank you.
