The Basseterre cruise port is one of the most popular stops in the Eastern Caribbean and a resort day pass is one of the best ways to spend your time on the island. Instead of piecing together individual activities, you get all-inclusive access to a resort's beach, pools, food, and drinks for one fixed price.

We've cruised to St Kitts and Nevis multiple times and have done the usual tours. They're fun. St Kitts has stunning beaches, lush green mountains, warm Caribbean waters, and friendly locals. But we've found that the most relaxing way to enjoy everything St Kitts has to offer is with a resort day pass.

Below, we compare every St Kitts resort day pass option available to cruise passengers. We include pricing, ratings, amenities, and distance from the cruise port. You'll find everything that you need to make the best decision possible for your St Kitts shore excursion!

Why choose a Resort for a Day Pass in St Kitts?

SAFETY

St Kitts is generally considered a safe cruise destination in the Caribbean. The island is welcoming to tourists, though as with any destination, it's smart to stay aware of your surroundings. Stick to well-known excursion providers and resort properties for the best experience.

A resort is your best option if safety is a concern. You'll have no worries within the protected walls of any option below. Security and privacy are valuable amenities at these resorts. In the rare chance of a health or security issue, you'd want to be at any of these resorts vs an alternative excursion option!

CONVENIENCE

All within ~17 min

From our map below, you can see that all resorts are near your Basseterre Cruise Port. Each option below includes transportation to and from the Terminal. Once on site, you'll be in complete relaxation for hours.

You'll have every amenity at your fingertips. No need to worry about haggling over price, finding food, renting beach chairs, etc. And you won't need to check your watch constantly to make sure your excursion provider will get you back on time. Your only inconvenience will be deciding which drink to order next. This is an easy "problem" to solve since drinks are all-inclusive.

EXPERIENCE

★ 5.0 avg rating

Most organized shore excursions are run by "mom and pop" shops. Many do a great job. But, they're not held to the same standards as the resort properties. When you're done with your snorkeling gear at the resort, they'll clean and sanitize the equipment. After a tour with "Lou's Snorkeling Fun Time," the gear might get a quick splash of Carib before the next cruise passenger straps it on. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but hopefully you get where we're going. The resorts will likely have newer beach chairs, fresher towels, and cleaner restrooms.

COST

From $59 / adult

You'll see the cost of an all-inclusive day pass averages roughly $100 per person. You'll find some great value options here.

And you'll get much more for the cost when compared to the average shore tour! A beach excursion includes many "hidden" costs. You might pay for beach access. Chair rentals will cost $20 per. Drink costs will likely be double that. Then you'll likely want to tack on events like kayaking or snorkeling.

You can easily spend $100 per person going "a la carte." And you'll likely leave a bit hungrier and "thirstier" than if the situation were all-inclusive. There's also an intangible value to the buffet style. The freedom to order whatever you want all day long is a huge bonus.

Cost Comparison: All Inclusive vs Other

A St Kitts resort day pass can be purchased for as little as $59 per person. If that seems expensive, consider all of the incidentals with a normal excursion. You'll often purchase rental chairs, food, drink, and equipment rental. These can quickly add up to exceed a resort pass!

If you've gotten this far, we'll assume you're "all-in" for a resort day pass in St Kitts. Good decision. You'll be happy with your decision!

Now we'll need to find the perfect day pass option. It will depend on your crew. Are you traveling with kids or are you on a romantic getaway? Are you hoping to get active or more interested in relaxing? Is price an important factor?

Below are amazing all inclusive options at St Kitts' best resorts. We've broken down each to show what's included so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about St Kitts resort day passes for cruise passengers.

How much does a St Kitts resort day pass cost?

You're looking at roughly $59 per adult for a day pass. That typically covers all-inclusive food and drinks, beach and pool access, towels, and lounge chairs. Kids usually get a lower rate, and some resorts let little ones in free.

Are St Kitts resort day passes family friendly?

Absolutely! 5 of the 5 day pass options welcome families, including Park Hyatt, St. Kitts - High Season, Marriott Resort Royal Beach, Park Hyatt, St. Kitts - Low Season, Sunset Reef - Day Room, Sunset Reef. You'll typically find reduced pricing for children at these properties. It's always worth double-checking each resort's age policy before you book, just to be safe.

How do I get from Basseterre cruise port to the resort?

Just grab a taxi right outside the cruise terminal. The resorts near Basseterre are generally a short ride away. You'll find plenty of drivers waiting when you step off the ship. Some resorts even include round-trip transfers in the day pass price, so check before you go. Pro tip: always agree on the fare before hopping in.

Should I book my St Kitts resort day pass in advance?

We'd definitely recommend booking ahead. These passes can sell out quickly, especially during peak cruise season from December through April. Booking early locks in your price and guarantees your spot so you don't get stuck scrambling on port day. You can book online through the links in each resort listing above.

What is included in a St Kitts resort day pass?

Most options include food and drink access. On top of that, you can expect beach access, pool time (5 resorts have pools), lounge chairs, towels, and clean restrooms. Some places throw in watersports or kids' activities too. Spa treatments and cabana upgrades are usually extra.

Is a St Kitts resort day pass worth it?

In our experience, absolutely. Think about what a DIY beach day actually costs: chair rental is $20+, then add food, a few rounds of drinks, maybe a snorkeling trip. You can easily blow past $100 per person, and you're still dealing with the hassle of finding everything yourself. A day pass bundles it all into one price with resort-quality facilities, clean equipment, and solid service. It's the most stress-free way to enjoy your time in St Kitts.

We hope this post helps you to make the most of your time in St Kitts.
