tikib Posted April 6, 2014 #101 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Which day pass hotel has the best pool? I like the beach, but have a pool is great to for variety, especially when your there all day. Also, which has good drinks and food without being unreasonably? Melia has 3 pools, a waterfall, swim up bar and zero entry. Wyndham has 1, RIU has 1, Breezes has 1 (they claim it's 2, but it's connected) Hilton has 1. Atlantis has multiples, (only available with a full access pass).

LizzieTrowbridge Posted April 6, 2014 #102 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I went to the Majestic Tours web site and can't find any information about Atlantis day passes. Do they still offer these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzieTrowbridge Posted April 7, 2014 #104 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, but they are not allowed to advertise. You have to contact them via email or phone. Thank you, Tikib. I am looking for the best deal for two adults for Atlantis day passes.. I have a room booked directly with Comfort Suites, but that is not a great deal when you only have two people.

junebug21981 Posted April 8, 2014 #105 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Which has the best food/drink, yet not too expensive??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikib Posted April 8, 2014 #106 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thank you, Tikib. I am looking for the best deal for two adults for Atlantis day passes.. I have a room booked directly with Comfort Suites, but that is not a great deal when you only have two people. Majestic would be the best deal for 2. No discount, but you are guaranteed a pass if you book in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxgirl05 Posted April 13, 2014 #107 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Has anyone been to Junkanoo beach recently? We will be visiting Nassau in May and I am deciding if it's worth the money to spend the day pass at the Hilton vs just hanging out at Junkanoo. It will be 5 adults with 3 kids (all 4 and younger). We are just looking for a decent sandy beach for the kids to play and maybe make a mini sandcastle. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

singbluesilver1 Posted April 13, 2014 #109 Share Posted April 13, 2014 That day pass seems expensive Breezes is 65 and the riu is 75 , both all inclusive Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mvbaker83 Posted April 14, 2014 #110 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Seems expensive, but offers everything we are looking for, plus it has three pools, the others have one. But everyone has to research what they are looking for, and decide for themselves. Either way, vacation will be a blast;) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singbluesilver1 Posted April 14, 2014 #111 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The pools at melia and breezes kinda look the same, all connected. All I want is a swim up bar anyway lol Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjer Posted April 29, 2014 #112 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Do we need to prebook Melia? Any risk of it selling out? We are coming in on Fri June 6th on the Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mvbaker83 Posted April 29, 2014 #113 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't believe you have to pre book, you just go to the front desk and purchase the passes. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly big and across the street is some shopping and food. You can get wifi at the Duncan Donut shop too. It's not all tourists, you will be mingling with the locals as well. There were quite a few kids there of all ages. Just think of it as a day at beach like Wildwood or Virginia beach.

HarperSays Posted May 7, 2014 #115 Share Posted May 7, 2014 We were in Nassau 4/30 and took the #10 jitney to Melia. Walked right in to the lobby and purchased two day passes for $30 each (our 2 year old was free). It was one of the best days we've ever had. We were in port from 12-8p and the Melia was great. We ate lunch before we got off the ship, so can't comment on food, but the chairs were nice and Cable Beach was gorgeous. The water was calm and shallow enough for my DD to swim around with us, and there was a nice breeze when we were out of the water just playing in the sand. We would love to spend a week there!

karena1 Posted March 27, 2015 #118 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Has anyone been to Junkanoo beach recently? We will be visiting Nassau in May and I am deciding if it's worth the money to spend the day pass at the Hilton vs just hanging out at Junkanoo. It will be 5 adults with 3 kids (all 4 and younger). We are just looking for a decent sandy beach for the kids to play and maybe make a mini sandcastle.Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Junkanoo is now our place of choice. We rent from Barry at Jyah, he is the first vendor before the bathroom when you first get to Junkanoo. Great guy, he does an awesome job of raking his part of the beach and keeping it clean. Chairs/umbrellas for rent. Prices the same no matter where in Nassau you go. Beers are not outrageous. There are a number of vendors/bars on the beach that sell food/drink. So plenty to find to eat/drink. Water is clean and clear and super calm. Some spots on the beach might have some pebbles, but nothing major. We love watching guys jump off the seawall and into the water. There is a Fat Tuesday's right next door and from the last time we were in Nassau in Feb, and did not get off the ship, it looks like they cleared the space to the right of Barry's between his shop and Fat Tuesday's and may be doing something else. About a 20-25 minute walk from the ship. Just a great place to spend the day w/o paying the crazy prices the resorts want.

So to clarify, we should walk until we see Fat Tuesdays? Is this a far way down or near the beginning? Never been there so a landmark is very helpful.

Cant_Wait1996 Posted August 20, 2015 #123 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does anyone have a suggestion for a day pass that isn't only 9-5? We don't arrive in Nassau until 11am and that just seems like a waste of money to only get a couple hours out of it. We are in port till 10pm. I know Junkanoo is right there but I was hoping for a more all inclusive type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
