[beach410]

Is there a beach similar to Port Lucaya in Freeport that offers parasailing, jet ski rentals, banana boat, etc? That we can just take a taxi to?

Most of the "resorts" now charge a fee to use the beach in front of them...

Cabbage Beach is a public beach with watersports on Paradise Isalnd ($4 by cab). THere's no restrooms or other amenities.. but you can rent a chair or umbrella and theirs usually locals selling rum drinks out of a cooler.

 

If you want a HOTEL beach.. then you can go to the Wyndham at Cable Beach for $40pp (included buffet lunch at Seaside Cafe) .. Theres Jet ski's etc. on either side of the beach (Sheraton or next to Breezes.

The day pass is $40pp and included lunch.

 

As far as transportation, the #10 jitney will drop you off right across the street. It's $1.25pp and takes about 10 minutes. They run every few minutes from downtown to cable beach and back again from 6am - 6:30pm.

Rent a room for less....

Rent a room for less....

 

 

I checked their website and cheapest room is $160 before taxes & resort fee of $15 per person. Would have to get 3 rooms which is more than the $40 per person day passes. let me know if I'm missing something to make it cheaper.

Thanks

Rent ONE room for 4... may be a bit more BUT you have a bathroom/changing area/charging privileges/nap time. ... the rest can get regular wristbands and "sneak up to the room. You may be able to get more than 4 depending.

 

I just thought with that many you might be able to "cut" a deal.

 

Call the actual resort and ask them if you get a "day room" could you get reduced wrist bands for the rest of your group.... and when going to the room only go as 2-4... not the whole group. They may allow the rest of the group to pay the "resort fee" of $15.

Bob - I think your dreaming here..

They'd lose money on this deal for sure.

 

There's a changing are in the gym, along with showers and locker, even for cruisers.

 

But there may be an option at Sheraton. They used to have a $99 day room (I think it was for 4). That would be $30 pp.. but would not include lunch. Not sure if they still have it... or if it's for 4 ppl. Then then would only need 3 rooms.

 

I think the $40 deal is better.. since you get a really nice buffet out of it.

LOL.... isn't this Disney World?

 

Just trying to help...

With 10 I would call both hotels and ask.... you never can tell nowadays.

 

BTW have you heard if the Sheraton on GBI is now open?
