How do we pay for cab to melia?

[yousee1]

I guess we use usd? how much to bring for cab fare to and from melia? do you think we can just go to melia itself and buy a day pass there? I dont want to use any of the websites that arent the real melia.

They should accept USD but make sure you have smaller bills - you may get change back in Bahamian dollars

Shuttle taxi from the port is $4 pp/ plus tip. US dollars are fine, but change will likely be Bahamian if they have change at all. Return trip will be a regular union cab... $18 for 2 ppl plus $3 for ea. add'l person, plus tip.

 

Day passes should be available same day unless you are traveling during a holiday week, or there is an event or wedding taking place.

Call from the dock when you arrive, and have a back up plan.

 

The #10 jitney bus will get you there for $1.25 pp and drops you just outside the front door. Buses run until 6pm.

We went to Melia on December 13, 2016. We took the #10 jitney bus from near the cruise port. There are bus stop signs in town with the route numbers and the bus itself has #10 on it. There are also security/traffic officers around to ask. The price per person for a one-way trip was $1.25 US dollars and you pay as you get off the bus. We bought our Melia day passes at the resort front desk for $45.00 which included a voucher for one beverage at their Starbucks. Pass is good from 9 am to 5 pm. It included towels, chair, pools, beach. Did not include use of standup paddle boarding or kayaking equipment.

We have taken the taxi and bus to or from the Melia. Be sure to get

back to the ship an hour before sailing.

We are thinking about the Melia for a day pass the end of May, we will have a 17 month old , 2 children and 3 adults. I figured with the stroller, a taxi would be better option, any ideas of how much to and from the cruise port this would be. Thank you for any information.
