Cable Beach
 
Was thinking of going to Nassau for Thanksgiving week. About 5yrs ago my husband on a business trip stayed at the Raddison/Cable Beach all inclusive he enjoyed it very much. I have read not so good things since then. Anyone been there recently. I am leaning towards all inclusive something I have never done before because of my 17yr old who has an appetite. Any suggestions

I strongly advise against going here. The beach is filthy. It is full of sea grass and fire coral. The hotel is rundown. Overall, I would avoid Nassau all together.

I have not been to Cable Beach in a long time, however it was very dirty when I was there. I guess it has not improved.

We've gone to the Radisson 3 times in the last 6 years and are returning next week. While the hotel itself shows some "tired" areas, we don't find it (or the area "dirty"). The grounds of the hotel are beautiful as is the beach.

I have been to Cable Beach many times and the beaches were always clean and beautiful and the water was very tranquil.

I was just there a few weeks ago, nothing dirty about it. The grounds and the staff make this a very enjoyable vacation spot.
The building is a bit old, but renovations have begun. This hotel, as well as the Wyndham and NBH have been slated to be totally renovated and become part of a new large scale Cable Beach Project to compete with Atlantis.

Well, I am glad to hear it sounds like things are better than when I was there... :)
