We have stayed at Grand Pineapple a couple of times and we have enjoyed the staff, especially the bartenders. We are returning to a different resort in April and we were wondering if we could stop in as we walked the beach and buy a drink from the Grand Pineapple bar.
We realize it's an all inclusive but were wondering if drinks could be purchased by non-guests.
(BTW....this will settle a bet between the wife and I)
In that case, your wife is right :)
She is right you can buy drinks or you cannot buy drinks? We are having some friends stay there and wonder the same thingQuote:

You can not purchase drinks from the beach bar. They do not have a cash drawer. However if your a returning guest and they remember you. You might get a draught for stopping by.
Generally, AI's are not set up for any cash transactions, so I would guess no. there pretty guarded against anyone who is not there guests. Shoot, When I walk the beach down by Sandals and
Beaches, if I get to close to the property, the security guards will come up and tell me "can't be on the property, you have to walk by the beach..........then proceed to ask for my phone number, every
freakin one of them.....smh !!:)
You can buy a day pass to GP that would include food and drink, but you have to approach from the road and go in the office first.
Security will not let you in from the beach side.
So to settle the bet, the answer is no, you cannot approach from the beach and buy a drink. :rolleyes:
Skolyy how much is this pass? And what about if you want to see Courtney to get something carved?
You can go see Courtney, no problem. Just approach beach security first, to tell them your intentions.
We inquired about that a couple of years ago and it was $75. per person per day at that time.Quote:

Courtney is right behind the security chair, so I'm not sure if you can get past them. :confused:
you will not make it to the bar before security gets to you....and no is the answer for buying a drink.....the security will allow you to walk from beach to the office to ask for a guest, inquire about a pass, whatever...but without a arm band, you cant be on the property....my experience in april when trying to find a guest that was staying there...
pretty sure you can talk to the carver though.....
Not what you asked about but you can eat at Merrill's, which are A-I's, for their breakfast buffet with unlimited coffee and made to order omelettes for $12.50. Sometimes you just want 4 cups of coffee and so it's worth it. I always tipped my server and the omelette maker.
