ResortForaDay Connects Cruise Passengers with Hotel Passes for Beach Use and Unlimited Meals and Drinks
You're on a Caribbean cruise and about to stop for the day on an island where all you want to do is relax on the beach. But you know very little about that island's hotels, and you are particularly uncertain as to which hotels permit visitors for the day. Particularly at all-inclusive hotels, the management is likely to be unwilling to permit beachside guests to then dig in to those payment-free, all-you-can-eat meals at the hotel's various restaurants. You are also uncertain about how to reach the hotel.
That's where ResortForaDay ( www.resortforaday.com ) comes in. A relatively new service, it sells hotel passes at hotels on ten popular Caribbean islands. And some of those passes are valid for all-inclusive hotels and resorts, where you will have the right not simply to devour a huge, all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, but also to enjoy unlimited drinks -- tropical cocktails with tiny paper umbrellas and bits of fruit, local beers, as much wine as you want.
Prices for the passes seem rather reasonable, particularly when you consider the drinking privileges. For an all-inclusive hotel with those unlimited drink and meal rights, they average (depending on the island and resort) $55 and $60 per adult for the day, $40 per child under sixteen years of age. Even at hotels that aren't all-inclusive in character, most passes include the right to at least a lunch at the hotel's restaurant.
In addition to such day passes, ResortForADay also sells round-trip transportation from the dock to the hotel for a varying sum.
To buy a single pass, you simply need to make a $20 deposit to ResortForADay, and can pay the remaining amount directly to the hotel.
Here's an interesting travel device that eliminates the uncertainty (or anxiety) that some cruise passengers have about finding a hotel that will let them use the beach. And incidentally, day passes include the right to use changing facilities, and also give you the right to obtain beach towels for the day.
