mpdahmer Posted July 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Has anyone been to this resort on a day pass while visiting on a cruise? We are interested in seeing pics from fellow cruisers not just the stock photos that are posted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefuninthesun Posted July 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would post this on the Bahamas thread, on the Ports of Call boards. You will probably get better response -- and there is a ton of information there about all of the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 hotels here, and also a casino. The local ladies will ask to braid your hair or offer aloe massages, which you can accept or decline. Food will be expensive, unless it is included in your excursion price. It's about a 15 or 20 minute ride from the port, and you'll be able to glimpse your ship from a distance.

Rare CruisinCrow Posted July 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Here are a few pics. These were taken 2 years ago when Melia was still Sheraton. I doubt it has changed much since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruisinCrow Posted July 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They had floats, kayaks and a water trike, plus the paddleboard. They were included in the price of the day pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseapril Posted July 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi- We were there when it was the Sheraton and then were there in March. The Melia has just about the same exterior as in the photos. It has a redone interior. We enjoy the pools and beach there. Big pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubagirrl Posted July 22, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Is the snorkeling good there? Any particular area to go? Snorkeling from shore is not good anywhere along the shore . It's way overused. Melia has a man made rock formation that houses some juvenile fish and other sea life. It's not a reef, but it's ok for having a little fun. If you are looking for good snorkeling, you'll need a boat trip to the sea gardens, rose island or the south side of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
