Nassau

Pros: great place to stay
Cons: none

Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort & Spa is a 6 star hotel and definitely worth the price. This all-inclusive resort is located on Cable Beach and has 406 luxurious rooms. The hotel has a Romanesque appearance to it which I found to be quite charming....

Pros: Wonderful for Week or Two
Cons: Only wonderful for a week or two

I was actually fortunate enough to live in Nassau for a year and, so, was exposed to more than the average tourist. And, so I am able to pass on a bit more advice.

First, keep your wallet close by. What you don't spend, may very well be...

Pros: Regal, Tons of Things To Enjoy
Cons: Islands often have water problems

Paradise Island lives up to the name it has been given. There is only one regal hotel,offering shopping, restaurants, live shows brought in from Las Vegas, gambling (offering slots, cards, roulette, and more), a huge swimming pool with a bar IN the pool...

Pros: The amenities and quality
Cons: Nassau can be rather chilly in the winter

We've been there 5 times, we make it a point to go at least one weekend a year to Royal Bahamian. Lately we've been going more like 2-3 weekends a year! It's a great place that is close to home (for those of us on the East Coast). With a 2 1/2 hour...

Pros: Activities, Warm beautiful water, People
Cons: Pricey

Two weeks before our wedding we decided to take a risk (since we had not yet booked our honeymoon - don't ask) and take advantage of an Apple Vacations Special advertised in the Washington Post. Someone at work suggested it, and we figured it couldn't...

Pros: nice weather
Cons: it smells, it's dirty and unsafe, people are not friendly, too expensive,

My husband had never been to the Bahamas and since I hadn't been there for over 10 years, we decided to do a time-share exchange. We were given a week's swap at Club Land'or which had a nice write-up in our Exchange book.

When we got to our...

Pros: A Great Destination Resort
Cons: Not much else on the island to write home about

I have traveled the Caribbean extensively for about 20 years and frankly was not excited about returning to Paradise Island. I had visited Paradise Island and the Bahamas twice about 10 years ago and generally was not impressed. However a bunch of...

Pros: Something to offer everyone; sharks and pelagic fish; historically interesting
Cons: May need to shop around for affordability; very busy and urban in parts

There is no other island in the "Caribbean" that will appeal to movie lovers more than New Providence Island or Nassau as it is many times referred to by the name of its capital city. Many films such as "Splash," "Flipper,"...

Pros: Duty Free Port, Nice Beaches

Last year my company had their regional meeting on a cruise ship headed to the Bahamas. I was anticipating a great time. The ship was wonderful (first time I was on one) and the sail was great. As we approached the Nassau Harbour I could see the...

Pros: nightlife, weather, water sports

I lived in Nassau for two years while working as a teacher. The great things about Nassau were the weather, helpful people, outdoor sports, and constant nightlife. The bad things about Nassau were pushy vendors and high crime.

The weather is...

Pros: Water, sunsets, food, activities, price
Cons: Plumbing

I just got back from Cable Beach- Nassau, Bahamas a few days ago and my only regret about the vacation is that I am not still there.

Every year at the beginning of September, I travel to Nassau, Bahamas. My family bought a time share condo there when they were cheap. Growing up traveling was one of the best learning experiences I could have gotten. Although the culture in the Bahamas...

Pros: Beautiful island, kind people
Cons: You get what you pay for

The Bahamas are beautiful and close to the US so if you are in the South East you can almost make a weekend of it. However, you will get what you pay for. I have been to Nasau twice. Here are my experiences
