Labadee is a little slice of heaven in the Caribbean! Situated on the northern coast of Haiti, this is not a private island, but a small area of leased land exclusive to guests of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises. This beach paradise has grown over the years. Once a tender port, it is now fully accessible by a pier constructed back in 2009. The longest zip-line over water is located here. At 2,600 feet long, it's breathtaking! There is also a roller coaster, water slide, splash park for the kids, water park, and more. This was my 3rd time visiting and we chose to rent a Beach Bungalow for the day. In the past we've just walked around or rode the roller coaster. Recently, they've added a boat that takes you from the pier to by the water slide and water park, which cuts down on some walking time. So we gave that a try this time. As for heading back to the ship, we hopped on the tram that runs from right next to the Columbus Beach food area to a 2 minute walk to security checkpoints.
Beach Bungalow
| When I was looking over the options for Labadee, on the Royal Caribbean site, I came across Beach Bungalows. Priced at $200 for the entire day; they include six large Evian bottles of water, two padded loungers, an L-shaped couch, sun protection, wind protection, two beach floats, six towels, and two cabana boys! There are only nine bungalows, and they are located at Columbus Beach, so they sell out quickly. Columbus beach, btw, has very few rocks, so it's one of the best beaches at Labadee. the only drawback is that it's the farthest point from the ship. There were six of us, four adults and two kids. We were given VIP bracelets that allowed the staff to keep track of who belonged there and who didn't. I felt like this bungalow made our day enjoyable and manageable with a baby. We had shade so that no one would get burnt. We had ample fresh, cold, water in a cooler. We didn't have to fight for seats at lunch table. We had floats available to use throughout the day. The cabana boys went to the bar for us. If you have a baby or young kids, this is money well spent! |  |
We didn't do everything on this particular trip, but here are some photos of the other options on the island!
