Overview

Go to Johnny Canoo's for great food. Other highlights were the casino, Paradise Island, and the straw market.

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

A bus ride anywhere is only a . Just get on the bus and tell them where you want to go. When you get to your location, they will tell you. Or you can ride the bus until you see somewhere you want to explore and yell, "Bus stop."

Best Things Nearby:
Johnny Canoo's Restaurant, Crystal Palace Casino, and Paradise Island.

Best Things About the Resort:
The best thing was the friendliness of the staff. The pools and grounds are immaculate.

Resort Experience:
This was our second trip to Nassau. We specifically chose this resort, because on our first trip, we walked by and visited this resort and contemplated purchasing a unit. It was a great vacation. Our unit, however, had a mildew issue in the air-conditioning ducts. The staff made every effort to come in and address it, but I am afraid it was unsuccessful. If you have asthma, beware!

However, I do want to stress that this did not ruin our trip. The resort is quaint, and again, the staff is delightful. Rooms are well-stocked with all the essentials to cook. There are no activities on site. The staff will help you with whatever you wish to do, though. This is a very quiet resort with many repeat owners/visitors. Everyone seemed to know each other, and it had a reunion atmosphere. There is no beach to speak of at the resort, but you can sit on the beach at the resort next door without being bothered.

A bus ride is only a $1 each way no matter how far you go. My husband and I actually took the bus around. Canoo's has the best food for a decent price. We saw Mario Van Peeples while we were eating one evening! My husband won at the casino. The grocery store is a short bus trip away, with reasonable prices. Paradise Island is also a bus ride away and a must-see. Don't forget the straw market!
