Sheraton and Westin at Our Lucaya

[hortige]

Will be in Freeport next week for a day, can you go to the pool at the Sheraton and Westin at Our Lucaya. It looks so nice?

i asked about the beaches in freeport and i got this wonderful response from

The cheapest is to take a taxi from the port to the Our Lucaya Resort (Sheraton/Westin) and enjoy the beach behind the hotels. The beaches are public and there are walkways between the hotels to get you to the beach. A shared-taxi is $5/per person each way. You have unofficial use of the hotel restaurants, snack bars, gift shop, etc. And the Port Lucaya Marketplace (shops/restaurants) is just across the street.

 

The cruise lines like to sell an excursion to Taino Beach. This is really the same beach as at Our Lucaya, it's just farther east and on the other side of the harbor channel so the two are no longer connected. Not sure of any advantages to buying the excursion unless it includes a meal.

you used to be able to use the pools and still may be able to.. are so many people mingling and you can purchase drinks and food at the snack bars and i don't think there is a problem using the pools.. there never used to be a charge.. the pools are just about at sand level.. have the taxi drop you off in front of the sheraton and walk thru

Thanks for your help!

Breucklin, thanks for the nice comment.

 

Host Star is correct. If you're at the beach the people working there really have no way to tell who belongs to the hotel and who does not. People mingle back and forth. As far as I know they don't give armbands to guests like they do over at Atlantis in Nassau.

 

All I would add is if you're going to use their facilities, be a customer too. Buy food from their grille and drinks on the property. That way you're not a freeloader.
