When the beach is calling your name, you might want to head down to Cabbage Beach, located 0.3 mi (0.6 km) from central Paradise Island. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Paradise Lagoon Beach North and Paradise Lagoon Beach South, both within a short walk.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Pink Sand Beach located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Dunmore Town. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Current Bay Beach.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Junkanoo Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1 mi (1.6 km) from central Nassau. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Saunders Beach located nearby.

Micah has created a lovely boutique hotel that is perfect for transitional stops in Nassau. It is inexpensive but very clean and nice, and Micah will both pick you up and drop you off at Nassau airport, which really adds $40-$50 in savings. I highly recommend this hotel. Micah and his son, Micah are true gentleman.

La Bougainvillea was a random choice, but we are so happy we chose to stay there. It is a relatively new venture with an eye for detail and and an engaging staff. The location is mid-point on Eleuthera and the beach is absolutely spectacular. If you are looking to get off the grid and unwind, this is the spot. We'd start each morning with a walk along the 2 mile beach and swim. The sand is amazing...clean, like "walking on marshmallows"...can we trademark that citation? A steady breeze...

Much prettier, fantastic beach and large, spacious, top quality across the board accommodations. Subzero refrigerator, Bosch washer/dryer, jacuzzi tub and large shower-- all in limestone or local coral-stone. Very nicely appointed, very tasteful. Neutrals.
I did not really focus that all rooms are actually apartments with large living rooms and kitchens and very large luxurious bathrooms. They called it "villas" but I have been in villas where you get just a room and bath.

Best vacation ever! Away from the craziness of Baha Mar but still walking distance to it for easy access to restaurants and casino. Rooms are perfect and we love the pool that’s right on the beach! Great guests and our kids made friends. Perfect spot for family vacation!

John is an amazing person and very warm host who went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. From taking us into town on our first night for some groceries to giving us a lift to the nearest beach. He also directed us to a friend who we were able to rent a great car from. The hotel itself was well equipped and very thought-out. There was a nook for every need, an outlet at every corner, lights galore. Both the interior and exterior of the house are colorful and true to the spirit of...

Ok people. I never leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because you must prepare for your family for the insane prices of EVERYTHING. This place is WONDERFULL. My only complaints are as follows: The staff at the beach and park seem to get annoyed when you ask for a cup of ice or ice water, it likes bothers them for some reason. I think it was because you're not spending money. Our food bill for a family of 4 for 5 days was well over $2200.00, and that was not one alcoholic drink ordered....

Everyone was above and beyond with the customer service, especially Mr. Carl! The resort felt exclusive Bruce there weren’t big crowds outside or many people in the water at the same time. I’ll definitely be back!

The only down fall that I had about the property. When we where checking out, I received my charges, I was never aware of all the resort fees. Everyday we had resort fees.
Staff failed to make me aware of the fees.

First time staying in Nassau and was so pleased I picked A Stones Throw Away. Lovely, friendly staff made me feel very welcome. The hotel is stunning. Real old Colonial charm with all mod cons. My superb room on the top floor had windows looking all around the island and the view from the sun terrace is beautiful. Fabulous empty beach less than 5 min walk. Perfect hotel if you want peace and quiet away from the usual holiday haunts but still only 15 minute drive into the town centre. Will...

Food is scarce and expensive in Exuma. Bring nuts,snacks in suitcase.$3 can of peanuts at Costco cost $28 in Exuma.Locals are very helpful and have the phone number of all the other locals(ie tour guides, drivers) on speed dial.Everything (conch, coleslaw, BBQ chicken, fries) at Edgewater Restaurant is "to die for", big portions,better value than Fish Fry.Big grocery store next door. Bring lots of cash, especially $5 bills. I'd buy 2 dinners at a time and have it "to go". I put one in the fridge...

It's a 3 star resort that deserves 5 stars. To be honest when we first arrived we were a little worried. It's a dated property and not like the luxury we were used to. We had to remind ourselves how little we paid for the room. We were there for a whole week and decided to make the best out of the situation. And we had a blast! They were very accommodating and helpful to us. Theres a pool that they kept very clean. It's not heated so it's was a bit cool but I still took a swim. They have water...

My fiancé and I had a quick 1 day stay in the Golden Palms. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and air conditioned, the pool area was beautiful, the breakfast was good and communication to get the airport shuttle and check in and check out was very simple and quick. There are a couple of places to eat within walking distance and if you want to go in town you can catch the bus for $2 right outside the gate. This was the perfect place for us and we can’t wait to come back!
