I am trying to plan a post surgery get away in March for my husband and I. I thought the Bahamas would be a good location because it is a quick flight from NJ. However, we had a bad experience at the Atlantis & need some recommendations. Can't afford the One & Only Club but would love good service & accomodations. Any advice is appreciated!

Only place I would stay on New Providence Island.

Happy Hunting!

Thanks so much.

If you are planning a relaxing stay in the Bahamas then I would recommend Old Bahama Bay! The Resort is gorgeous and provides for all of your needs. There are restaurants on site with spa and beautiful beaches. I have stayed there several times and have always had a wonderful experience.

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for posting!

At $425 a night, Runaway Hill is not really a budget choice. Since Messier bought it in ?2006 it's been redone and prices have gone up. But, a very nice play to stay and I like it better than Pink Sands.

You will love it there! They also have the Winter 2012 $400 & $250 Instant Savings Promotional Offer if you book through February 6. You can then travel and stay anytime through June 30th 2012!
Im always on their website checking for good offers

okay we are ready to book this hotel. Just a quick question or 2. Is there anywhere to go within walking distance-local restaurants? Will it be about $150 round trip if we want to go into Freeport for the day?

The town is about 2 miles away so it is easy to bike ride there and if not there is always someone at the resort willing to drive into West End. There are a handful of local restaurants to try – keep in mind they are not aimed at tourists, but the fresh fish and conch salad are great!

Taxis are indeed $70 each way for up to 4 people. There are local buses for $5, but the schedules are on island time…..
