Labadee cabana

[aks753]

I'm looking at the cabanas for Labadee for about a year out and the thing listed are "beach bungalows" for $250. Anyone know which cabanas these are? I want to book the ones that used to be called "over the water" not the ones set back on the beach.

Over the water will probably cost more: $395???

This is a price list from April:

However, I saw that a post recently where some of the prices were a bit less expensive.

That's why I'm not sure what I'm seeing online (and I don't have a suite).

I had the same question, as did someone in another thread. Here is a link to those wondering what we are talking about- Beach Bungalows

And here is copy and paste:

Shore Excursions

Beach Bungalows - ZL1A

 

Ready to reserve this excursion?

 

 

 

 

Make family time in Labadee even more comfortable and enjoyable when you reserve your very own Beach Bungalow. Nestled among palm trees on the shore of beautiful, remote Columbus Cove, your private bungalow is a haven of tranquility close to an array of family activities. With comfortable seating for up to eight, it’s the perfect place to feel peaceful ocean breezes, soak up some sun if you like or simply watch waves gently tumble ashore. Everything you need is included: floating beach mats, stocked water cooler, beach towels and the personalized service of a Cabana Attendant on hand to bring you beverages. And if you crave a little action, the thrilling Dragon’s Splash Water Slide, Arawak Aqua Park and a variety of other family-fun activities are close by.

 

Highlights:

• Full-day rental: Spend the day lounging in your own comfortable retreat with personalized service.

• So much included: Enjoy two floating beach mats, a cooler stocked with water, beach towels and a Cabana Attendant on hand to bring you drinks.

• Ideal location: Relax in beautiful, remote Columbus Cove; family fun is close by at Dragon’s Splash Water Slide and Arawak Aqua Park.

 

What to Bring:

• SeaPass card and photo identification

• Camera

• Sun protection

• Cash/credit cards

• Insect repellent

 

What to Wear:

• Swimsuit and cover-up or light clothing

• Hat and sunglasses

 

Important Notes:

• Transportation to and from Beach Bungalows is via Labadee tram or tender boat service to Nellies, with a short walk to Columbus Cove.

• Complimentary buffet lunch available at Columbus Cove Café, Dragon’s Café or Café Labadee.

• Rental of a Beach Bungalow does not include access to the Barefoot Beach Cabana Club

• Avoid alcohol before water activities.

• Guest must be 21 years old to consume alcohol.

• Maximum eight guests per Beach Bungalow.

• Beach Bungalows will be available starting July 31

• Guest should note this is note this is area is not private.

 

 

I noticed the description says that these will be available starting July 31. Not that many cruises since then, so I guess information may be limited.

That's new, isn't it ? I didn't think there used to be any cabanas at Columbus Cove. Interesting

I saw photos of them. They look like big day beds with shade covers. Not even close to being a cabana.

[cb at sea]

There are so many places on Labadee, with either sun OR shade...no need to pay for it!

[Merion_Mom]

Those beach bed thingies are at Adrenaline Beach.

 

Not sure what they have built at Columbus Cove.

I think you are referring to what Royal actually calls a beach bed.

 

OP is talking about something called Beach Bungalow, which is apparently new. It is different from the beach bed you are referring to, and from the cabanas- although it looks closer to the cabanas, assuming Royal's picture on the excursion listing is accurate.

Just checking back to see whether anyone has any information on these (apparently) new "beach bungalows"?

[JJ2sail]

Looking for any reviews on the Cabana's at Columbus cove. Says they will hold 8 people? Are there lounge chairs or just the couch? Pictures?

 

Thanks!

[PhhSC]

Does anyone know how the site survived Matthew?

Very little damage.

[PhhSC]

So great to hear! We are there in November :)

[JuliaMS]

There are threads with photos on the Destination forum - Caribbean - Private Islands.

 

These are new, not the Cabanas and not the Day Beds

[gagirl7143]

Very little damage.

 

 

Were you just there after the hurricane. Will be there in Dec. what little damage was done. So glad someone can report being there. Thanks Bob

The "Bungalows" are $250 and they are on Columbus Cove. Yes, they come with loungers. This is a pic from the website. We well be there next week and have one rented. I will be taking pictures and will post them when we return.
