Usually, we just walk around right at the port then go back to the ship but I want to go to a beach this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly easy walk, and we were able to get a couple of chairs and umbrella for $25, I think. I had heard some horror stories of people being harassed by people selling things, but that didn't happen to us. In fact, there was a noticeable security presence. Beach was nice, and beers were 3 for $10, not too shabby. Food seemed pretty expensive from what we saw, so we didn't eat there.

MarsMama Posted April 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I came across day passes being sold for British Colonial Hilton for May. Weird that it is closed but it looks like their own website. The passes were listed for $85 with a $40 food and drink credit. I wonder now if it is a different location? https://britishcolonialhilton.idaypass.com/. I was trying to find the hours because our ship arrives late 2pm to 9 pm. I guess if it is closed, it isn’t an option. We were interested in Margaritaville but it doesn’t seem worth it if everything closes at 5pm. We might just walk to Junkanoo Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimPossible1 Posted May 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The British Colonial Hilton closed in February. We did Margaritaville at the end of Feb. and it was a nice day. We got there around 11 and we left around 3:30-4pm. It felt like a long day. Junkanoo is next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare happychippy Posted May 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2022 British Colonial Resort is closed, but the property managers are offering Beach Day Passes to use their private beach. I got tickets on resort for a day dot com. It was like $25 for the day and you had access to use their chairs, umbrellas, daybeds on their private beach. The Bar service beside the pool was open. Pool was not opened last week when i spent the day. There was plenty of chairs and it was a very clean beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such an amazing, quiet beach and you are right by the ships so no stress about late taxis, traffic jams, etc. One of the funky boutique hotel brands (Indigo?) needs to buy the property.

RandomUser123 Posted June 9, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I will be stopping in Nassau in October on a cruise. First time there since 2016. We did British Colonial Hilton day pass when we were there in 2016 and it was very nice. I see the hotel is closed but you can still get a day pass? Is it still worth it for a day pass or should I just do Junkanoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make sure the pool and other facilites are available and not just that tiny stretch of beach and a few loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are about a 15 minute taxi ride, Melia is on cable beach but I don’t know if they still have day passes. Looks like RUI is $130 (I think it was about $80 when we went), but they had a very nice breakfast and lunch buffet included, plus drinks were included.I remember a DYI Bloody Mary and mimosa station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide how much time we will have if we have to be out by 6pm and whether its worth it. TYIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare happychippy Posted November 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The RIU Buffet was like 12n to 3P last time I visited, they also had a poolside BBQ chicken place near the pool that served a late lunch from 3p to 5:30p. There was an inside coffee/cafe type restaurant that was open until I think 2p that had cold sandwiches, milkshakes, and other cafe style food. Beautiful property, very friendly welcoming staff, great pools, and beautiful overlook of the beach area. I love the views, but not one to go into the ocean. Staff advised that if you go into the ocean, as you wade out into the water it does drop off a few feet away from the shore. RIU Did have lifeguards on the beach which was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was cranky and a little sunburned from the day before and didn't want to go, until he saw it. It's a great spot for kids. There is a wall to jump from, the lazy river, pool, some water slides. And there is a small beach with stuff to do but we didn't even go there. We stopped on the way to pick up some drinks and just put them in our bags. I would recommend it.
