Need info on Radisson Cable Beach/Bahamas
 
Has anyone been to Radisson Cable Beach lately, Is it still ok,or run down? I'm reading mixed reviews. It looks like it would suit our needs as a family. 2 kids 12 & 8 pool and beach close together ,all inclusive makes it easy.Thanks

Not sure about the rooms, but the grounds (pools, gardens,ets) are still gorgeous. We own a condo 3 blocks from there and go the the Radisson and next door to the Marriott daily (the Mariott has a waterslide). Your kids will love the pools and waterfalls, and you and your husband will love the romantic views, and swim-up bar!<BR>The public rooms - lobby, restaurants etc are also lovely and well-maintained.<BR>Going all-inclusinve may be best as the food prices are pretty steep! Try to go to Johnny Canoe's for Junkanoo night!<BR>ENJOY!!!

What is Junkanoo night? I've heard about Johnny Canoe's and hope to try it. We are going to the Radisson on 2/11 and are really looking forward to our vacation! Any more tips would be appreciated!!

Laurie,<BR>Junkanoo happens on Friday nites at this time of year. In other seasons, it's more than one nite a week. The junkanoo band appears several times during the evening starting at 7:30pm to about 10:30pm. Johnny Canoes has a local band which usually plays Thursdays thru Saturdays, but check witht the restaurant as the schedule may change. I'll be at Johnny Canoes that same Friday, I have plans to meet some people there. Have Fun

Stayed there last spring break 2001 with my family. Kids were 10 & 15. Rooms were better than most resort hotels. Corridors need a bit of work. Balance of the resort was great. Beach was excellent but the water was cold; however, the pools were great. Restaurants were good but as typical of the islands, service was average. Watch out for the vendors o the beach near edge of the propertty. They are pricy.<BR><BR>You can walk to the casino at the Marriott without leaving the covered walkway. <BR><BR>Expect long waits at the restaurants off the resort property. At Johnny Canoes it was about 1hour and 45 minutes
