Here are the new cabana prices – with the old rates shown in brackets so you can see the increase.
- Family Beach Cabanas cost $880 (increased from $797.50) for up to 6 guests The cabanas can accommodate up to 10 guests. If you want to add guests this is an additional $56.00 (from $50) plus tax per person for guests 7-10.
