FloridaMac Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 We're taking a tour that includes a big lunch and will be hitting the beach around 2:00, so we won't need the food, plus my wife doesn't drink so we'll probably spend $50 tops between us, a far cry from the $260 at Melia or RIU. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaMac Posted April 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm guessing that everything like a beach club or a bar with a little beach is "all inclusive"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose by the strict definition of "all" it's not. There are extra charges for VIP stuff and the spa, but they include the following: "Included with the Melia Day Pass is Unlimited dining for lunch and snacks at open establishments, Unlimited drinks (house alcohol & nonalcoholic beverages), Beach access, 3 pools, 2 whirlpools, Lounges, umbrellas, towels (no need to bring the ship’s towels), Non-motorized water sports, family pool and Kids’ Club, Wi-Fi to stay in touch with family & friends" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid $25 or $30 per person to use their facility only. no food was included.. I liked Melia.. not too crowded..nice pool and beach area.

I'm guessing you could by drinks at their bar and order food for cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMac Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Update. I emailed Melia, part of the reply included "...Please be advised that the standard day pass is no longer available, we only offer the all Inclusive now." So, I think we're either hitting Hilton or going to a free beach with trips to bar and/or restaurant nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
