bcaha Posted October 31, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Please help choose a day pass from among these 3: Sandals Royal Bahamian, Melia, Breezes Our criteria: Looking for shade on the beach Stand up paddleboards Windsurfing Which would you choose? thanks (cost is not part of this particular decision) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted November 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) If cost isn't an issue, I'd go with Sandals. :) Melia has SUPs but I don't think the Melia day pass includes water sports anymore. Breezes didn't have SUPs when we were there. It had sailboats and kayaks. Shade on the beach is never a guarantee. Best advice is to try and get there early, wherever you go. There's usually more shade by the pools. Edited November 1, 2016 by CruisinCrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcaha Posted November 1, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Thank you :) I don't mind sitting by the pool. I just can't bake in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcaha Posted November 3, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Has anyone on this board visited Sandals since it reopened? Would love to hear any comments. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2bcruzng Posted November 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Curious about pricing - love the fact that Breezes has sailboats, probably Sandals also. How would I go about contacting them for information? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansOfTravels Posted November 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I thoroughly enjoyed the Melia. The property was expansive and I felt that there was more than enough room at any of the three pools and on the beach. Very clean and good service too. However, I heard they upped the price to more than $35, which is excessive, because it doesn't include lunch. So while I loved the Melia, I would love to go back and actually stay, not in a resort day pass. But if you are willing to pay the price, I would certainly go with Melia! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcaha Posted November 22, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted November 22, 2016 We wound up going to Sandals. It was expensive, but a lovely day. $110/per person. Included drinks and food. The water was a little rough and we did not wind up using any of the water sports. Lots of chairs - both shade and sun. We called from the ship before heading over there. That turned out to be key to being allowed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruisinCrow Posted December 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Is Sandals within walking distance from the pier? Can you reserve ahead of time or have to call them when you arrive to the island? No, Sandals is 5-6 miles from the port. I would call the hotel in advance to see if passes will be available. When you call, they'll probably put your name on the list for the security guard for when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
