Teacherloves2Cruise Posted February 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi all, I have been feverishly researching the Hilton Vs. Melia for a day pass coming up in a few weeks. I decided to email Melia directly and received the following info: "Thank you for connecting with us here at the Melia Nassau Beach regarding your upcoming stay. We are happy, that you choose us as your vacation destination , where a warm Bahamian welcome awaits you. With regards, to the day passes for the day. Adults= $30.00 per person Kids from 4-12 yrs. old $15.00. There is no charge for the 2yrs old. If you would like to include lunch as well, at the Oh Grill by the poolside $50.00 for adults and children 25% off the $50.00. Market Grill our buffet restaurant $75.00 per adult and children 25% off the $75.00. You can book this when you arrive at the hotel. We look forward to your arrival." I asked about availability and reserving in advance, because we will be coming during Spring Break. The reply was not to worry and that we will be welcomed. (I do know a company who allows you to book in advance but they add on extra money.) I have decided on Melia and buying the passes "day of," that way we aren't locked into it if it is poor weather.

CruiseControl_ Posted February 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The resort sells it for a higher price than third party booking. We paid less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacherloves2Cruise Posted February 20, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Cruise Control- I havent't seen it cheaper, are you allowed to share a link? I could only find a third party that charges more. Also, what if it rains, do you lose a deposit if you choose not to do it day of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseControl_ Posted February 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's cheaper on *****.com We bought our passes from them last time and they guaranteed a refund in the event of bad weather or if the ship doesn't dock for any reason.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk CruiseControl, thanks so much for the info. You are right, if you want to book one of the two food options, *****.com is cheaper. However, if you just want access to the faciltiies, it is cheaper to buy it at the resort. Since we will be going after lunch and leaving before dinner, we will go through the resort.

Now that we have heard directly from Melia that they will not be restricting passes during spring break and there won't be a problem, there's no need to purchase in advance unless you want a food package. Either way, you still have to go to the front desk to pay, may as well pay it all at once. This info is good to know. We've been waiting to hear from Melia on this. Thanks for getting to the bottom of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseControl_ Posted February 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Someone else posted an email from the Melia this morning regarding day rooms that also has useful info about options...Apparently day rooms are now 50% of that days rate - not $99 anymore.
