Cheapest beach day for 5?

[mama_2_boys]

I've been looking at Paradise Beach but taxi alone for 5 of us would be $200 round trip. Is there not a cheaper way to do the beach for a family of 5?

$200!  Nope, the common $16-17 fare covers up to 4 passengers sharing the cab; for a larger cab carrying 5-6 passengers expect to pay $22-24 each way.  The cab fare works out to $4-5 per person each way with your group.

 

So $45+ found trip for the cab and $3 each admission/chair rental.

 

You can save a few bucks on the cab fare by instead going to the Money Bar, and there's no admission fee but also no pool or Sandy beach - you enter the water via steps.

I was still in Jamaica mode and thought the price of $21 was per person!

Were you reading this off the taxi sign post?  that's in Pesos LOL.

But remember even at PB they kinda "urge" you to spend at least $10 on food and drink and all the water toy passes are extra.

 

With young kids, I would NOT venture to Money Bar or Sky Reef, unless all are very much into snorkeling and wearing watershoes.
