MplsFamily Posted September 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm seriously considering spending the day at the Melia when we are in Nassau next month on the Allure. I contacted them and they told me that they do not sell day passes in advance. I'm nervous that we'll show up and not be able to purchase passes - not sure what my backup plan would be yet. However, I see that this site is selling them! What has everyone here done?? https://www.nassauparadiseisland.com/experiences/day-passes/experience-magic-melia Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieF4861 Posted September 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I wrote to Melia and got the same response that you did. I also sent them the link you posted above and the response was that are not affiliated with that website. I am equally confused!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKane Posted September 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just go and pay when you arrive. It's a huge property. Sent from my SM-G900V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted October 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2017 We would call from the cabin beforehand- to make sure they have passes. It is 5 miles to the Melia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MplsFamily Posted October 5, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I ended up hearing from the hotel that bookatourcaribbean was an authorized site and so I went ahead and purchased through them. I had to put down a small down payment, hopefully when I show up in a couple weeks it is accepted! Figured it was worth the risk since I've read of several others doing the same on CC.

MplsFamily Posted October 16, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just reporting back that we visited the Melia today and had no issue with the passes we bought through bookatourcaribbean. There was hardly anybody there today, so we easily could have purchased passes the day of. I didn't see any other cruise ship guests there today, we were the only ones in the pool most of the time and the beach was gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Any idea of food and drink costs there? Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MplsFamily Posted October 17, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted October 17, 2017 You can take the bus and the hotel provided directions on how to do so. We had 7 people ranging in age from 7-64 and so we just decided to hop in a taxi/van. It cost $40 each way for our whole group. Plenty of taxis right outside the gates to the port. There is an outdoor restaurant with some lunch options. A burger was $14, pizza $13, kids chicken nuggets $7, kids sliders $6-7. We told them we were day Pass guests and paid with a credit card no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is just for a cup of coffee or something more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MplsFamily Posted October 18, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Each adult was given a Starbucks voucher when we checked in (even though we purchased our passes through a separate site). It was for one drink of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
