First stop: New Providence and Paradise Island After our British Airways flight landed in Nassau, cheap car rental florida we headed to the Atlantis on Paradise Island. Accessible from New Providence, the resort is a destination in itself, complete with the Dolphin Cay water park, upmarket cheap car rental florida shopping and dining, beaches, a casino and aquarium. All the agents agreed it was a great place for families with money to spend.
We stayed at the 694-room Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort on Cable Beach, one of the longest and best stretches of sand on New Providence. The Sheraton and its neighbour, the 559-room Wyndham cheap car rental florida Nassau Resort, cheap car rental florida are interconnected. Both properties have casinos, shops and a variety of restaurants including an Italian and a steak house. Staying at either gives you access to the amenities at both.
We dined that night at Arawak Cay, a stretch of local eateries on the coast. As well as feasting on snapper with peas and rice, we tried the local cocktail, Sky Juice. This mix of gin, coconut water and condensed milk shaken and poured over ice is easy to drink but packs a serious punch.
Second hop: Harbour Island Harbour Island is a tiny, sleepy isle with a cosmopolitan feel that can be reached by fast ferry. Wooden cheap car rental florida cottages draped with vines and flourishing gardens are set back from dusty roads.
On the Bay Side of the island, you ll find quirky gift shops, elegant restaurants, boardwalk marinas and the fisherman s dock. Stretching the Ocean Side along the length of the island is Pink Sand Beach. Secluded and set back from the beach are two boutique hotels Pink Sands, a five-star with private villas, and Coral Sands (see Hotel Review below).
Final port of call: Grand Bahama Island Grand Bahama Island is a 45-minute flight from Nassau. Staying at the beachfront Radisson Port Lucaya, we had the run of a beautiful stretch of white-sand beach and were just a short stroll from the marina, bars, restaurants and entertainment.
We took a boat ride to Sanctuary Bay and got up close to some of the 14 resident bottlenose dolphins of the Unexso Dolphin Experience. Taking it in turns to slip into the water, we stole kisses from the dolphins and tickled their tummies before they performed somersaults.
Our site inspections that afternoon included the Viva Fortuna, a 276-room, characterful all-inclusive on a 23-acre plot that hugs a broad sandy beach, and Flamingo Bay, a 66-room resort cheap car rental florida offering the option of interconnecting cheap car rental florida family units where the bedrooms cheap car rental florida are separated by a kitchenette. There s even a grocery run three times a week so families can order goods or be taken shopping.
We spent our last night at a bonfire party on Taino beach. This thrice-weekly event was full of atmosphere the lapping waves caught the firelight as the villagers of Smith s Point cooked up barbecue chicken and ribs and showed us how to limbo dance. It was a grand finale but we still didn t want to leave. The Bahamas had worked its magic on us and we wanted more.
Hotel review: Coral Sands, Harbour Island Rising from the sand dunes that edge Pink Sands Beach on Harbour cheap car rental florida Island, Coral Sands is a chic but relaxed resort. It s perfect for honeymooners, romantics and the style-conscious.
The interiors of the 36 rooms and elegant cottages were designed by 1960s fashion icon Barbara Hulanicki. Bathrooms and bedrooms are retro contemporary with a nod to a marine theme. The beach cottages with their varnished walnut floors have private beach access cheap car rental florida and offer pure indulgence.
The king-size beds boast memory-foam mattresses and Italian linens, while the spa-style bathrooms cheap car rental florida have shower rooms and tubs big enough for two. The mature gardens reveal a tennis court, curvaceous pool and first-class restaurant above the beach.
The TW verdict The Bahamas is ideal for those who want to take it easy. Nassau offers cheap car rental florida comfortable hotels by groups such as Radisson, Sheraton and Wyndham, providing quality, standardised accommodation on great beaches with all the facilities you could wish for.
What the agents thought The Bahamas has less of an American influence than I expected. It has a real sunny personality of its own. I may switch-sell it with other Caribbean islands now I have seen that it offers cheap car rental florida clients excellent value for money.
cheap car rental florida What most appeals to me about the Bahamas is the variety. It can work for people cheap car rental florida looking for something different cheap car rental florida from the tried and tested islands and there is no adverse publicity surrounding the Bahamas.
