Pros: Spacious, Lots of bars and restaurant "options", great pools, free golf.
Cons: The restaurants are about as boring as it gets.
The Bottom Line: The all-inclusive package deal is worth more than what it costs, so definatly consider it.

| phillytraveler's Full Review: Radisson Cable Beach Casino and Golf Resort |
Ok, so here goes. The Bahamas are soooo pretty and fun, the hotel shouldn't make a difference, but this one did.
CHECK-IN (LOBBY)
Pros - Easy and fun. Kids got free lollypops. Nice Lobby, live music at nights.
Cons - Too many bars (A pro and a con) (Note: The all-inclusive deal is worth every penny. It includes unlimited used of the bars, and golf course at no charge.) The lobby has some boarded-up shops and (really, really) EZ casino access.
ROOM
Pros - What more is there to say? Nice, white, clean rooms.
Cons - Do NOT get a room on the first floor. It may be convieniant to get to the pool, but kids and immature adults knock on the window, peep in, etc. NO PRIVACY!!!
FOOD
Pros - Lots of restaurants. Bimini Market is one exception to the cons sect.
Cons - Need a reservation for crap. All of the restaurants minus Bimini have the same bland, boring food. The theaming is different in each one. "The Iron", or "The Grill", whatever it's called, seemed neat at first since there was a grill at each table. We figured that the food would be cooked in front of us. Wrong. WE had to cook the food.
NOTE ON FOOD: The Bimini is great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Freash fruit, freash food, etc. Good deal. Lots of seeting.
BARS
There are, like, six bars. Two in the lobby alone. One in the pool (Kids like that)
ENTERTAINMENT
Pools - Lots of fun, but little lifeguard supervision. Three pools: A rockscape, a simple pool with a bar in it, and a large walk-in pool with a waterfall. Pool at nearby Marriot is open for use, and SCUBA lessons are held there.
***Fun to rent snorkels and snorkel.
Live Entertainment in lobby during evenings.
Chinsy minigolf near pool/bar
GOLF
OK course, need some work. Carts all have dead batteries. Very hot in afternoons. Kids can play, so good for amatures. Few Marshalls, so kids can drive carts.
UNIQUE EXPERIANCES
If you cannot get a reservation for mediocre restaurants, they (Management) Will redirect you to the ballroom for a buffet dinner. That was the best meal I had in a long time, it's like a giant party every night!!!
Overall, I'd say it's a steal of a deal and fun for the whole family if you get the all-inclusive deal
