Hilton day pass?

[terryde]

Has anyone gone to the Hilton for a day pass recently? What does it include?

[Danny_rae79]

This is what I found online to answer your question.

Hilton Day Pass ADULTS: $40.00US

Your Exclusive Day Pass Package Includes:

 

-Use of beach chairs/pool chairs/ umbrellas

-One beach towel per customer

-Use of Kayaks and Floats

-$30usd Voucher for Food and Beverage

 

 

I have a concern. I plan on going on 11/19/09 and I read on here " but the beach at the Hilton will be disturbed by dredging for the next couple of months. We're hoping that they will be finished and things back to normal by December, but there's no telling" Is this still going on??????

[beamteam]

Thanks for the info. How did you contact the Hilton? We are going in 4 weeks so it sounds like it might not be in good shape. Thanks for your help.

[snausman]

Does anyone know the cost of a taxi from the ship to the hilton???

[Hawk15]

Bump. I'm interested in the Hilton day pass too. Is the $30 voucher enough to cover lunch and a few drinks?

[Aplmac]

A few days ago when I was taking photos at Hilton Barbados

I made a point of stopping by their Front Desk, to ask about their day pass thing.

 

 

Here's what she said.

 

For US$25 you get a towel, chair, umbrella, use of the pool and beach

 

 

For US$35, they throw in a lunch as well -at their beachside food place.

 

Sounds like a good deal..no?

Thank you, thank you,THANK YOU!!! By any chance did you remember the price of the taxi????

[Hawk15]

Thank-you for the info.

My Wife kids and myself are looking for a nice beach to spend the day at. On reviewing the board we are down to two options Hilton or Accra.

 

Does any one know what the taxi fare to the Hilton is?

 

Thank you in advance for your help

[Aplmac]

Thank you, thank you,THANK YOU!!! ===> You're very welcome!

By any chance did you remember the price of the taxi????

Because I live here on da island, I use my own car! ;)

 

I don't usually quote taxi rates since my knowledge of such things is abyssmal

but I should think it'll be on the order of around US$20 each way

for a carload of you guys between the Port and Hilton --just don't quote me on that, OK?

 

The ride is more time-consuming and traffic-y

as opposed to any real distance between the two.

Even so it's only ten minutes -fifteen if traffic is bad.

 

Bridgetown Port and Hilton are essentially at either extreme of Carlisle Bay.

You can see Hilton from the Port

-that's it out on the far point-

 

..and you can see the Port from Hilton's entrance

even if Hilton's beach/recreational activity is on the other(South Coast) side of the hotel.

 

 

A day spent at Hilton Barbados will not disappoint! :)

Again thank you for all the info. That was just what I was looking for.:)

[JNCRUISEBUMS]

Thank you so much for your information, do we need to make a reservation for this? Nancie

[porsena]

Thank you, thank you,THANK YOU!!! By any chance did you remember the price of the taxi????

 

Apparently it's $12 - see this thread. I think we might join you.

great read, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Not bad at all on the taxi. We could split the taxi if you want.

[Aplmac]

- do we need to make a reservation for this?

When I made my first enquiry for you guys

I was told that Hilton prefers that you call ahead first

to see if thay might comfortably accommodate you

- but the other day (when I took the recent pics)

I mentioned the call-ahead thing and asked if should cruisers still call

but she said no don't bother.

 

I should think that calling Hilton might still be the wise thing to do

especially in peak tourist season (Dec. and Jan.)

 

Hilton's PBX number here on the island is.. 426-0200

Wife and I went to Hilton Beach for a swim at Needham's Point last weekend

and there was nothing going on.

 

No sign of construction/destruction/dredging equipment.

Also.. it's hard to imagine them starting a project in mid-Oct.

with the winter tourist season just 8 wks. away

-unless it's a minor project?

 

God knows, they already have acres of gorgeous beach.

See for yourself!

I'm confused. If the Hilton only charges $40 per person for a day pass and then gives you $30 in vouchers for food, how can they possibly make any money?

[Aplmac]

I'm confused. ===> Me too!

 

If the Hilton only charges $40 per person for a day pass.. ===> They don't.

and then gives you $30 in vouchers for food.. ===> They don't.

Doesn't look like you ever read Post # 6 on this same thread.

 

Go back aways and see what.. ;)

Umm, how much is a local phone call, and is there an easy way to get the coins necessary to make the call?

 

I know this seems like the stupidest question ever, but you never know!

Maybe the cost of the food is $10.00

[somogirl]

I just spoke with the Hilton in Barbados and this is what I was told;

 

$25 for a day pass for use of pool and beach

$35 for a day pass would include a meal and drink at the waters edge restaurant.

 

This is a per person charge. I was checking to see if I could use my Hilton Honor poinst for a day pass but they don't do that.

From one Lisa to another, I would really appreciate your reporting back on the two beaches: accra and the Hilton. Pros and cons of both, etc.? Any differences such as water calmer at one beach as compared to the other, etc., etc.. etc. I'll be anxiously awaiting your posting when you return. Have a wonderful trip and tell Barbados "We'll be seeing her in February!"

 

Thanks - Lisa
