Just returned from Nassau, any questions?

We just returned from our second trip to Nassau and would try to answer questions that fellow travelers may have. I am putting together some trip notes and could email them if anyone would like a copy as soon as they are finished. Just let me know.

I would like to find a small hotel off the beatn track in Nassau, not to close from the city. Any suggestions?

Celine: Most of these places are either on Cable Beach and are fairly big, but good beaches, especially at the Nassau Beach Hotel where we stayed. There are quite a few on Paradise Island, connected by bridge or by ferry, but they are also big or not right on a beach. There is the South Beach area away from downtown and from the other two spots. The Makeba Beach Hotel has eight rooms, but I don't know anything about it or about the beach itself.

Maybe you would be interested in nearby Eleuthera. It's easily accessable from Nassau. It's supposed to be quiet, clean and beautiful. Do a search on the Bahamas and check it out, it may be what you are looking for.

Good luck!

Celine:

Compass Point is an excellent resort off the beaten path in New Providence. I highly recommend it. Another, even more remote resort is the Clarion South Ocean Resort.

Did you visit the Atlantis Hotel? If so, how was the beach? My fiance and I are thinking of going there and a beautiful beach is very important to us. From the photos I couldn't tell very much.
thank you

I too would like to see your trip notes. I leave Thursday AM for Nassau. Weather forecasts, available right now, call for rain on Thursday and Friday. I will be there with my 2 sons, ages 12 and 14. Any suggestions of rainy day activities?

Whew, I never expected this response. I am in the process of sending out copies of our trip notes and I'll get to you as soon as I can, honest.

Erin: The beach as is everything else, is beautiful at Atlantis. It's not a cozy little place, it is big, but very nice.

Tracy: We take along our passports as a habit, but for the Bahamas, all you need is a (raised seal) birth certificate and photo ID (driver's license) is a US or Canadian resident.

Cindy: The kids and you will like Atlantis, a lot.

Thanks, all, I'll get busy.

Hi Lee:

I'm thinking about taking my daughter and her friends for spring break next year, hoping it will be lower key than Cancun or Jamaica, but still fun. I would love your trip notes.

Lee,
It looks like you are getting a lot of request for your trip notes and I was wondering if it is too late to recieve your notes as well. I am going in the middle of July and I am trying to gather as much information as possible about Nassau, Cabble Beach and Paradise? Thank you. Amy
