Going to the Sheraton for the day in Nassau

[Earning my ears]

I read somewhere here that someone went to the Sheraton for the day in Nassau for $20 per person for their port adventure (on their own) Has anyone done that? I'm not really excited about any of the port adventures in Nassau. Just relaxing at the beach & pool would be nice....... I looked at the Sheraton website but couldn't find anything about visiting for the day....

Thank you in advance - any help would be appreciated.

The Sheraton is now the Meliá Nassau Beach Resort. Click here for a review of the day pass.

I don't see day room information on the website, but you can call toll free (877.696.6252) or email melia.nassau.beach@melia.com

Nassau day pass info is here...http://www.nassauparadiseisland.com/nassau-paradise-island-day-passes/. Looks like the price is $35 per person, $55 with lunch included. Taxi is about another $15 each way.

We usually go to the Hilton (also on the site). It's withing walking distance of the ship. Really nice pool, excellent lunch included...and beach that overlooks the ship.

I've been to the Hilton as well. 10-15 minute walk from the ship.

Booked it through https://bahamascruiseexcursions.com when we went last summer (RCCL Allure). It cost us (at the time) about $130 for 2 adults + 1 over 5 and 1 under 5. We had $100 in food/drink credit so it felt like a pretty good deal. The only drawback was that it took a long time to get the food, so if you do decide to go to the Hilton, order early. If you want drinks, just go up to the bar and order - they should have a tab for you (against your credit voucher) by that point.

Thank you very much for this information. My family and I were thinking of going to the Atlantis, but it is quite expensive and I've read mixed reviews. The Hilton sounds like a great alternative. Adults $60 with a $40 food credit. Plus, we can walk. Has anyone else been to the Hilton for a beach day? I'd love to hear about it. Did anyone find it too crowded at the beach and pool, that the excursion may have been oversold?

Personally I didn't find it crowded - we found reclining seats and beach space pretty easily. Maybe 75-100 people?

I should note that one of the DCL ships (I want to say it was the Fantasy, but I can't recall) and a Carnival ship was in the same day as the Allure (so ~10,000 people descending on Nassau), so I would chalk this up to not a whole lot of people knowing that the Hilton option exists.

I believe there is also a public beach further down the road if you want to go the free route.

we have done Sheraton 2X. It is a nice resort on Cable Beach (with a casino, if you want). We walk thru the main hotel entrance (not the casino entrance), and pay for the day pass @ reception. We usually go from 10-2pm, and come back for a late lunch. We just take the bus/jitney to/from for $1PP around the corner from the main street after you walk into town (5 minutes), as we have been several times and feel comfortable finding the bus, etc., but a taxi could also be used. I emailed Sheraton and took a print out with me, which was unnecessary, but I always do. This is a cheap, nice beach day. When it was a Sheraton, day pass included kayaks, but don't know if it still does. Lounge chairs, umbrellas included. Few people know about it--I have been there at the height of spring break on Fantasy and I think there was 1 other family from DCL there.

We just got off the Dream and I recommend the Blue Lagoon beach day which includes lunch. Water was crystal clear and warm. Beautiful relaxing day!

Thanks for the suggestions, sounds like there are some great options for a beach day in Nassau.
