blazzn00 Posted February 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Cruising in the first part of march. Looking for suggestions for day pass to resorts. Would like bar beach and ability to buy other fun beach things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 2000 Posted February 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Beach bar I understand, do you wish the drinks to come to you or are you willing to walk to the adult beverage counter? My apologies what does "ability to buy other beach things" mean. There are two docks on the island, which one is your ship using?

Rare crewsweeper Posted February 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If you're on the Caribbean Princess, you'll probably dock at Mahogany Bay. It's a bit far from the West Bay beaches, you've probably heard about. But somewhat closers is Little French Kay, with several packages for cruisers. Google them and check posts on these threads. If you wish to go to West Bay, Maya Princess, Infinity Bay, Bananarama, Beachers, Paradise Beach, all have different beach packages and pros and cons. Value wise, IMO, Beachers and Bananarama are good values as they include transportation from Mahogany Bay, but they are not complete A.I.s. Infinity Bay is a gorgeous property though. but I think you have to contact them directly to inquire about day passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecracker1 Posted February 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2017 We are having a difficult time contacting resorts about day passes. Is anyone else having this problem? I can't get an answer (by phone or by email) from Infinity Bay or Paradise Beach. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an island off the coast of a third world country time and communication a different. [emoji4] Have you hired a driver for the day? Perhaps they could give you some give you some information.

krj9999 Posted February 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2017 For Paradise, try the form on the roatanbeachclub.com website. They offer a package with lunch and transportation for $40/person (also bookable thru viator, which is the route I took). I've had challenges trying to email them too (ended up using the hotel reservations email), but they did finally get back to me about what/where to look coming off the ship. We'll be there in just over a week. We are having a difficult time contacting resorts about day passes. Is anyone else having this problem?

Luvmypups Posted February 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone done an all inclusive day pass to Las Sirenas Mayan Resort recently? Looking for something new, we've been to LFK 2 times, Maya Key, and Bananarama previously. Will be there on the Dawn next week.

wolfganghowell Posted March 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2017 How did you like Mayan Princess? It's been quite a few years since we did MP. They have a separate seating area for cruise ship passengers - away from hotel guests. I'm not sure the day pass still includes access to the pool. One time we could, one time we couldn't. i found their restaurant ok, not great. Compared to Bananarama, which is right next door, I wouldn't pick it over Banana.

Luvmypups Posted March 14, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'll answer my own question....... It was ok but would never go back. Don't think the pass was anything like it was presented on the website. It was too crowded, wall to wall loungers, too many spring breakers, bad drinks, and mediocre food in my opinion. The pool was nice but we didn't go there for the pool. Live and learn. Favorite spot is still LFK.

wolfganghowell Posted March 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yeah, the first time we went was when Royal just started going to Roatan and MP was empty. Not so the second time. That's kind of what's happening at Banana. I wish someone in Roatan would follow the lead of Nachi Cocom in Cozumel and limit the passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in West Bay, sharing a property line with Tabyana so it may be a bit tougher to tell.. but they do limit. :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkinator99 Posted April 3, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I booked maya key for my friend and myself. It looks good. not interested in all inclusive drinks, we are lightweight drinkers and I HATE hangovers more than I enjoy alcohol. Seems like a lot of private beaches include all you can drink, making me picture drunks stumbling around, figure I will see plenty of that on the ship.

Maya Key is a good, convenient option (easy transport) from the ports in Roatan. In reality there are not many AI in Roatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCraig Posted April 3, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We decided to go to Infinity Bay Resort for part of the day this May. Will let you know how that is. I have been to IB but never done the day pass deal. We enjoyed Bananarama a lot this past September and had a great time. We just want to be closer to the wall area this time. It was a bit of a walk with toddlers in tow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are standing on the beach looking at the ocean you would walk to your left until you can't go any further.
