Title: Jiva Beach day pass
Post by: Karennina on August 07, 2016, 11:48:42 AM
I have used the search facility but cant find my answer... Im sure that i have read on here in the past that the cost of a day pass to use Jiva Beach facilities for the day and into the evening was around £35 per person, i sent the hotel an enquiry yesterday and the price when converted from euros to gbp wirks out at nearly £60 per person....
Has anyone been for the day before please and if so how much did you pay for one day...
Thanks in advance for any replies   :)

Karen, Just checked the price for two people staying one night in September and it is £93.00.  So cheaper to go for the night.

Unless you intended to drink alcohol all day, why would you??

I think it's lovely to stay the night at hotels now and again, we always did this. It's a nice experience and a treat! If you're going there for an evening and have loads alcohol I think people would just get a cab.

Thanks Jacqui for that, yes I had been looking at a nights stay and like you say its cheaper for a nights stay but knowing iv only paid £55 for the two of us before im reluctant to pay nearly £100!
Totally agree Lotty its lovely having a nights stay in different hotels we now have our favourites and obes we would not stay in even if they were free!
No i wouldnt be intending to drink alchol all day Lindsey I dont drink in the daytime not even on holiday i prefer to save myself until evening!

I know you will love Letoonia, we stayed there for a week when we first came to the area.  Food was lovely, however, no matter how much we had to drink, we never felt at all tipsy.  Don't sit at the front in the theatre, unless you want to be on the stage performing.

Was that because the drinks were watered down.  ;)  ;)  ;)

We did meet a waiter in restaurant in Calis, not long after we bought our place. We told him that we had stayed at Letoonia and we loved it there.  He then told us he had worked there for three years and the drinks were all watered down....
I did not say this, it was him, but it seem to answer the question we had about the strength of the drinks, and why they  never had any effect on us.  We also remember all the bottles of  Whisky, Brandy etc., well know brands that were just bottles on the shelves we never saw any behind the bar and were told that all the drinks were local.    However, that was a while ago and things many have changed now.

I remember sitting at the bar watching things - during an all inclusive weekend away (away = 10 mins from home) at Majesty Tuana in Yaniklar. The range of drinks is woeful compared with (say) AI across the water in Rhodes. For example, ask for whisky, ask for brandy, it all comes from the same bottle :D

Karennina,

I cant tell you the current prices - but i do know they have 2 different prices - one for the day only, and one for the day + evening, so this is where you may be seeing a difference.

Karennina..... We stayed at the Jiva Beach resort in June for our Anniversary for 1 night and it cost around £65. I have just booked one night for OH birthday in October and it is about £45... Bargain.....All inclusive for 2 Adults... It would cost you that for fish & chips in Whitby.....

Karen, Have you also tried Letoonia?   Nice resort and you can get their water taxi over.

Post by: lissa on August 09, 2016, 22:00:23 PM
Can  you use the water taxi service to Letoonia if just on a day pass or staying one night? Also why would you bother to go there if Jiva, which is a pretty good hotel, is on your door step? Especially if the drinks at Letoonia are watered down. I don't mind not having so many alcoholic drinks as such, but if I have a gin and tonic for instance, I want it to be in the correct proportions, that is tasting like a real g & t!

Thanks everyone I guess we will wait until next year to have a night at Jiva again as the prices are just too dear for outr dates...i had seen a good deal for October but Derek will have used all his leave by then.
I even cheekily emailed the Jiva and asked if they had a room they wanted to fill ( give them our dates) and said we would be happy to pay £60 but they werent having any of it, but my motto in life is dont ask dont get, I asked but i still didnt get!

Forgive me Karennina but isn't that slightly akin to asking a restaurant if they had a table they wanted to fill and offering them less than their published rate for the meal.  :)

Firstly, Karen lives in the U.K. So the resort is not on her doorstep, secondly, she is having problems booking with Jiva , Thirdly, I know Karen stays in a lot of hotels for a night when she is over, so,  I was asking had she every stayed there, because she may want to consider it for the future.  Fourth, I and I think you, have no idea if the drinks are now watered down.  I stayed there 11 years ago and thought the drinks seemed  very weak, but I have no clue what they are like now.  Sixth and last.  No need to be concerned Lissa, I was merely asking Karen a question.

Jacqui, I was also just asking a question and making some observations. Am I not allowed to do that? Karen stays in Calis when here, at her apartment, so Jiva is on her doorstep when here. She is not having problems booking with Jiva, rather does not want to pay the price quoted for their dates. No, I do not know if the drinks are now watered down  at Letoonia but you stated they were when you stayed there, nobody else said this. Lastly, I do not need someone to list firstly, secondly etc so as to be able to understand a post!

Sorry not to answer you question Lissa, The answer to your questions is, the boat could be used when I was there if you had a day pass or were staying the night.   I don't see that would have changed now, but I cannot firmly confirm that, so you would be best to contact the Letoonia and ask if you are thinking of staying.
Karen has also stayed at the Yacht Classic and this morning was looking at Gocek.  I would suspect she does not mind staying somewhere else other than Calis.

Sorry I forgot Jacqui to say we have not stayed at Letoonia yet, its on my list wen the price is right!
No Highlander I dont think its on the same parr at all as a table at a restaurant, i know what Iv paid to stay at Jiva before and dont wish to pay double that just becos its a different month on the calender, as someone has quoted before on here the most expensive room in a hotel is the emptiest room.
It worked at another hotel we stayed at in Fethiye made an offer for a second nights stay and it was accepted...

Where is this " Jiva" im going to have to google it now and see where it is,
Especially if it seems to be mentioned as en par with the beautiful Yacht Classic.

Have seen Letoonia too - often wondered if we could sail over there, drop anchor off shore a little and then seim in to their beach for the day.....

Now, Jiva........... Google......
