Nassau from 8am-3pm Resort Day Pass question

[madimorg]

I'll be in Nassau on Oct 15, 2018 and our ship is only in port from 8am-3pm (of course I'll want to be back on ship around 2pm-2:15pm). I'm interested in doing a resort day pass. In your opinions is the Hilton Colonial my best option or would I have time to make it worthwhile and enjoy Sandals or Breezes or one of the others that are on a more scenic beach? I'm not concerned about cost. I mostly want to have time to sit back, relax and not feel rushed. There aren't any children in our group to be concerned about either.

How about the Melia? It’s not AI but significantly cheaper, gorgeous beach. Daiquiri Shack is across the street.

I'm not familiar with that one at all. I'll have to check it out. Thank you. AI is nice but not necessary; most importantly to me is a place that is nice and that I'd still have time to get to and enjoy before having to rush back to the ship. I really dislike the amount of time we have in port that day.

We area also only in port from 8-3 when we sail in March. I'm torn between doing Melia or just taking the #10 jitney or a taxi to one of the public beaches for a couple of hours, then going back to the ship in time for lunch

Either the British Colonial Hilton or the Melia would be our choices.

 

The first is convenient and the Melia a few miles away- but they have big pools and a good stretch of beach.

I agree with the others that you should stick with Melia or British Colonial. No reason to pay all-inclusive prices for that short of a time. You can eat a late lunch when you get back on the ship.
