Peaceful, Tranquil and Absolutly Beautiful!

"We recently came back from a 3 week glorious stay at this beautifully charming resort...Magnificent harbor and ocean views; clean and spacious rooms; and a resort layout like no other in Nassau...The staff was uber friendly, helpful and consistently went out of their way to make us feel relaxed and welcomed..(Especially Ms. Margaret, Mr. Moss, Mr. Cameron, and our super housekeeper Ms. Anya...)The harbor view was a delight to behold; and lounging on its beach was like a little bit of Heaven...Also, the ocean side is breathtaking and oh so romantic ...We value our peace and privacy and this resort offers both in glorious style...We can only hope the planned $250+million dollar facelift doesn't change what makes this hidden gem so special...Although not necessary, we had a rental car and found that the resort's great location was central to many businesses and local attractions...All in all, we highly recommend Sandyport Beach Resort to those who can appreciate true beauty and serentiy...We can't wait to return next year..."

We have been a lot of great places for vacation. Now that we are getting older, we will choose this resort and Nassau even over Hawaii because of the ordeal in getting there and jetlag. It is so beautiful at Sandyport. We especially enjoyed the pool and our condominium Jacuzzi and the beautiful area. We liked having the market right there and being right by the ocean. The staff were most friendly and helpful and immediately took care of any little problem we had. Even though we experienced a tropical storm, we were still able to go downtown and to the mall on the bus. The Bahaman people are the best, the friendliest, happiest, most helpful I have ever known. I am a talker. One of the best things is the bus system. We are not wealthy people. Except for taking a taxi to and from the airport, the Pisces buses you can catch for $1 get you where you want to go and are so much fun if you talk to people like I do. I became so comfortable there. I was so inspired by the Bahaman women I talked to. They love living there. We learned to go to the dock and get filleted Red Snapper caught that day. Next year I want to have it for dinner every day. The few bones left in our fish were no problem for us. It tastes better to me than anything we could get in a restaurant. We had so much fun and were so active we ate heartily every day we did not gain any weight. The fact that the buses quit running at 6:00 or 6:30 p.m. was not a problem for us. We had so much fun exploring and enjoying ourselves we were tired and ready to relax by then. Atlantis on Paradise Island is just incredibly breathtakingly beautiful. I liked it better than anything at Vegas. Next year I will take just a few clothes and more food. Fruits and vegetables are not allowed in or out. I will take non-fat milk to mix with the whole milk that is over $5 a gallon, lots of cereal, snack food, more packets of Splenda, and unopened packages for meals. We will also take our heavy-duty umbrella that was good insurance even though we didn't need it much. Thank goodness we both like iced tea, and I took plenty. I was foolish to take our own shampoo and lotion, automatic dishwashing powder, and coffee. These amenities were provided. Sandyport Beach resort is so great, I can't wait to get back there next year.

Best Things Nearby:
The beautiful ocean is about a 1-block walk from the timeshare, and there is a sandy beach on a lagoon out the back door.

Best Things About the Resort:
Quiet, beautiful beach and ocean--rooms(4/4 one-bedroom unit) were great, courtesy van trip to supermarket the first day there, good restaurant on-site, etc., etc.

Resort Experience:

It offers great two-level timeshares that are well maintained. We (three adults) stayed in what I think was one of the best units, since we had the lagoon out the back door and it was only a short walk to the ocean (under a bridge) or across a two-lane street. The ocean rarely had more than 10 to 15 people on it while we were there. There were only three timeshare building units on the sandy lagoon, and we were in one of them (the other units had a rockier access to the lagoon). In addition, there was a great saltwater pool with slides for kids (rarely used by anyone also).

The $1 Jitney bus (nice A/C) got you to Paradise Island Bridge and downtown Nassau, although a series of new shops located under some of the new condos being built are just a short walk away. The Coco Loco restaurant is on-site for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although the place is so beautiful, we cooked at least two meals a day, which we had on the picnic table on the back patio overlooking the lagoon. There was great snorkeling in the ocean. We also went sailing and snorkeling off the FLYING CLOUD, which picked you up and dropped you off at the resort. Finally, the access to the airport was great, as it was about 15 minutes away.

Best Things About the Resort:
Nice units, quiet, peaceful, and relaxing

Resort Experience:
I was a little apprehensive about this resort from the reviews I had read, and although I do have a few complaints, overall it was beautiful.

First, the bad: Check-in took forever, and with hungry kids crying for food, we were not happy. There was only one person behind counter, and they were slow. Finally, we got a key only to find out it was a one-bedroom, not two -- another half-hour of waiting. Showers ran hot/cold, and I got burned a few times. You find out the hard way that the resort turns off ALL the water at 10pm, and it goes back on at about 6am -- that's right, no shower, toilet, nothing. The woman who cleaned our rooms was extremely unfriendly and never replaced the towels. It took me literally four calls and two trips to the front desk, and about 8 hours later, we finally got a few. Frustrating. But everyone else was super-nice and very helpful.

Now, the good: With all that said, the resort was beautiful. It's very quiet, with a salt-water pool, lake, marina, and a 1-minute walk to the beach and a restaurant - Coco Loco's. We all enjoyed ourselves. It seems that the immediate area is in the process of being built up, and once completed, is going to be fantastic. There is a small mall right beside the resort with a restaurant which we heard was great, and you MUST visit the Tropical Gelato ice cream parlour -- all handmade and delicious. We had a master bedroom suite with a one-bedroom lock-off, full kitchen, and living room. It was very nice, with white wicker furniture, a/c, ceiling fans, tile floors, a patio overlooking the marina, and one bedroom overlooking the pool. Pastel-colored rooms with all-white trim were very pretty and comfortable.

Although the resort has a Gold Crown feel, I think it's lacking in some customer service areas to be fully entitled to that status, as well as lack of activities. No entertainment and nothing for kids, but they make their own fun in the pool; however, it would have been nice if the slides were working. Apparently, they were damaged due to a hurricane, and as a Gold Crown owner (Manhattan Club), I certainly would expect that this would have been repaired immediately.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this resort, and my family and I would definitely stay here again.

Best Things Nearby:
Nothing, so there are no crowds. But you're at the end of the jitney route, so you have access to everything!

Best Things About the Resort:
Out of the way.

Resort Experience:
The front desk attitude needs to change. They're not informative and not helpful at all. All the other staff was excellentm though! They'll bend over backwards for you.

You can catch boat tours and rent mopeds right at your doorstep.

The units we stayed in were good quality, but not the newest. There were a few things wrong, but we worked around it. We stayed in a three-bedroom unit with eight people and had plenty of room.
