Nassau

Pros: beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, casinos, shopping, scooters, swimming with dolphins
Cons: summer might be hot, crowded, haggling

My family is from South Florida and we regularly visit the Bahamas for mini-vacations. I love going to Nassau. The duty-free shopping people are always talking about isn't worth while, don't bother buying though browsing can be fun.

What I...

Pros: Beautiful beaches, friendly people
Cons: Don't expect to spend more than 5 wonderful days, there... it's a small island.

Money and How Not to Loose it: The Bahamian Dollar and the American Dollar are as close in worth as currency comes. In fact, don't be surprised if you pay for something in one and get back your change in the other-- you are not getting a deal or ...

Pros: paradise island and the atlantis resort
Cons: the mainland and the all the beggers

i went to the Nassau bahamas with my family and we stayed on paradise island because that's where our hotel was. Paradise island was beautiful especially the hotel Atlantis. Just magnificent, but our hotel the comfort suites wasn't all that comforting...

Pros: good diving
Cons: Way overpriced everything else on the island

Third week of February, I spent three nights in Nassau. Mainly I came to do some diving with Stuart Cove's. The diving was a professional and smooth operation. It wasn't exactly free.   It cost me $170 for two days of resort diving.  The dive included...

Pros: Cheap liquor, decent beaches, conch fritters
Cons: Rude, aggressive people, very touristy, and expensive

Three friends and I spent March 10th through March 14th in Nassau at the Marriott Resort. We were all so excited about going someplace new for Spring Break and getting away from the tourists in Florida. Things started off really well, with an easy...

Pros: Close to some beautiful islands
Cons: Not a real bohemian island

One would expect the capitol of the Bahamas to be the "heart and soul" of the nation. This is not true of Nassau and I do feel bad for those people who only see Nassau and think that that's what the Bahamas are about. Nassau is exactly the...

Pros: The theming is beautiful....
Cons: But beautiful theming does not a worthwhile vacation make. It's more expensive than it's worth.

I recently returned from a trip to the Atlantis Resort. I was there on a business trip with my company for our annual sales meeting.

The theming, is beautiful. The "Dig" which is an underground recreation of the lost city of...

Pros: Pretty island, beautiful water, neat crafts.
Cons: Poor travel Value. Pushy vendors, mediocre, overpriced food.

My recent trip to Nassau was my effort to give the Bahamas a second chance. A few years back, my wife and I met up with some friends in Freeport, Grand Bahamas and the only nice thing I can say about the trip is that we had great company. We decided ...

Pros: Quick flight and you can get pretty good deals to stay.
Cons: Pretty boring if the weather is not good.

My husband and I found that we had amassed a few hundred dollars in our change jar and we were both itching to get away for a bit, so we chose to go to the Bahamas. We stayed at the Radisson Cable Beach Resort. The airport is terribly unorganized. ...

Pros: Certain parts are beautiful.
Cons: Just don't go in to the city.

Review Topic:  Overview

I thought just because we were going to Nassau in the Bahamas for our honey moon it would be great. I was wrong. Our morning started great my new husband and I hopped on a boat and had the most wonderful...

Pros: Atlantis Hotel & Casino, beaches
Cons: Expensive, rude service, rude people.

I was on Paradise Island for about 5 days in May. The best part about Nassau was the Atlantis Hotel and Casino. Amazing establishment! The beaches were breathtaking too - fine white sand, wonderful sunny weather and warm clear waters. The downside to...

Pros: Beautiful beaches and water WHEN the weather is good.
Cons: Incredibly expensive given the quality of the goods and the service; inconsistent weather in winter

Nassau is the biggest city on the most populous island in the Bahamas and it still felt like a very small city. This would probably be a very relaxing vacation when the weather is good. However, when the weather is average (i.e. not sunny as opposed to ...

Pros: none --other than nice grounds maintainence.
Cons: dirty nasty smelly surly management no hot water

Recently went to Nassau and stayed in a trashy pest hole called the British Colonial Hotel in Nassau. The place was nasty as hell with smelly carpets, peeling paint and a lift that did not work. 2 days without hot water. Us "ole" fat boys...

Pros: Beautiful, lots to see, shark tunnels and aquariams.
Cons: no stroller or wheel chair access- to expensive

The Atlantis Resort is magnificent in many ways, but the drawbacks were so negative that I have to give it a declining vote.

In February I went to Nassau in the Bahamas and stayed at the Atlantis Resort. The major problem stemmed from the...

Pros: White sand, crystal clear water, picturesque beaches close 2.5 hours from New York.
Cons: Trap bait. Nassau will break your bank, your heart and rob your peace of mind.

This one is probably the longest but I needed to write every word to get the truth out and set myself free. Also, I figure there haven't been too many new reviews on this island lately, which may mean people are declining to go. But if you are ...
