IslandToIsland Posted March 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I emailed Jolly Beach Resort to get updated day pass pricing and got an email back saying they no longer offer the $60pp rate. As of July 2012 the only rate they have is $75pp from 9-5 with a 10% discount for 10 or more people. They sent me the updated pricing sheet and that seems like quite a hike in one shot. Just though I'd share for anyone who had plans on visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been here before and if so, could you share a bit about it with me :confused: Can't seem to find much other than 2 beaches !!!

IslandToIsland Posted May 27, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hey Tracey; Sue here from the NFL in Feb2014. I have been trying to find out about this port. Have you been here before and if so, could you share a bit about it with me :confused: Can't seem to find much other than 2 beaches !!!Sue Hi Sue, we have been to Antigua twice....the first time we went to Jolly Beach Resort and 2nd time we did a Carnival excursion which was really nice also, but I forget the name. Jolly Beach was really nice and it took about 20 min- 1/2 hr to get there. I have pics if you would like to see. Like i said they jacked up the price and I think that is too high when you can get the same amenities at another resort. There are a few beaches that I have read about....Hawksbill Resort, Darkwood Beach, Valley Church Beach, Coconut Beach Club which I believe Amy is looking into, Dickenson, Long Bay, but Jolly Beach is the only one I have experience with.

wmac Posted June 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The pool at Jolly Beach looks really nice. Does anyone else offer a pool like that on the beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted June 30, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 30, 2013 We are sailing on the Carnival Breeze on 7/20/13 and I am having a hard time deciding what we are gonna do there... we just want to see a bit of the island and spend the rest of the day at the beach. I guess I am having a hard time understanding the lay of the land...relation of the beaches to port and what is available if you don't book an excursion through the cruise line. Any advice? We have 2 boys ages 12 and 17... Any suggestions would be a big help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowteacher Posted July 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2013 IsandGirl... after reading the review on the other thread, my husband and I are going to Jolly Beach Resort in Antigua. It looks like a fabulous beach with a big pool. Plus you get lunch, etc. I was originally going to do Coconut Beach Club, but I'm afraid it's going to be too crowded. We'll be on the same cruise as you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted July 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I found another tour that is thru Scenic Tours Antigua...here is what they sent me in an email... "The beach time for the Island Experience is about 2hrs and for the Pineapple East Tour you get to the location about 9:45 a.m. and you are picked up at 3:00 p.m (or earlier if you request). If you choose the day pass option you have the hotel facilities at your disposal e.g. restaurants for lunch and unlimited snacks and drinks, pool, tennis courts, snorkeling equipment and more." The cost for the full day is $75.00... $55 for the day pass and $20 for the transport for an adult. For children its $57.00 I believe... it includes a tour of the island too. Here is the link.... http://scenictoursantigua.com/v2/online-bookings/tour/pineapple-east-tour/#more-557 More info: google Pineapple East and click on daypass... I am thinking this is significantly less than Jolly Beach's day pass...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowteacher Posted July 3, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 3, 2013 1islandgirl. This may end up being cheaper by the time you get a taxi. The day pass is $75.00 from the resort. This excursion goes to Jolly Resort, right? I may go ahead and book this one. Is that what you are thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted July 3, 2013 #12 Share Posted July 3, 2013 The one I posted above goes to Pineapple East Resort and includes transportation. I think I saw somewhere that Jolly Beach daypass + transportation was about $115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowteacher Posted July 3, 2013 #13 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I e-mailed Jolly Beach today. They said the day pass was 75.00 per person. I'm trying to find out how much a taxi will cost. That might determine which one I do. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted July 3, 2013 #14 Share Posted July 3, 2013 ok... please let me know what you find out! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowteacher Posted July 5, 2013 #15 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Also, I just reserved our spot at Jolly Beach by e-mailing them. They said we would pay when we got there. ;) I wonder if we could all get the taxi for cheaper? Hopefully we can meet each other sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted July 5, 2013 #16 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Snowteacher, We are actually flying into Miami on Friday night...if we can get 6 in a taxi to Jolly Beach then that would be great! I will email them and reserve our day pass as well. It would be ideal if they would give us a mini tour around the island on the way. I have heard that many of the taxis do that. In fact, I ran across a tour company that will do a short tour and then drop you off at Jolly beach then come back and pick you up at whatever time you tell them to- I think its $20 round trip. I will check into that...we are headed to the coast in a few hours and will be back on Sunday... I will check on that when I get back. Have a great weekend! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1islandgirl Posted July 16, 2013 #17 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hey Snowteacher! What did you decide? We are doing Eli's Eco tour in Antigua and the Nassau Sheraton Day Pass... need to figure out how to meet up on board. Can't believe it's finally here!

NCTribeFan Posted July 16, 2013 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Is this an Antigua thread or a Roll Call thread? Perhaps you folks should be having most of these discussion on your Roll Call and leave this thread to talk about Jolly Beach Resort (mostly). Know what I mean? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
