I was at the Iberostar on a day pass a couple years back with Carnival. It was slightly cheaper at the time; $120. The van was not crowded; maybe a dozen people. The ride was around 20 minutes. The property itself is very nice and large. There is a nice pool area with lounge chairs, then it's a few steps down to the beach. The beach itself is small but it was not overcrowded with cruise guests. There were lounge chairs available. A DJ was playing rather loud music and staff was trying to get people to do some kind of game. There was a beach bar where you could get unlimited drinks. A buffet lunch was in one of the dining areas and it was very good; there was a large selection.
We were there for a few hours; don't remember how long exactly. We enjoyed it because it wasn't as crowded as some of the other cruise sponsered beach excursions. I do think $139 is rather high for what you get. Having never been to Hilton Rose Hall, I can't comment on it. We will be back in Falmouth in February on RCCL, but will pass on the Hilton because of the price.
