Breezes Resort and Spa
Breezes Resort and Spa is a small Nassau all-inclusive in the western end overlooking Delaporte Bay. Minimum age requirements vary by season (25 during the high season, 21 during the low season), although teens aged 14 and up can stay provided they check in with an adult who is of age.
Amenities include direct access to Cable Beach, 3 geometrically-shaped pools that look out on the bay plus a plunge pool, sports courts, kayak rental, spa, and gym. Five restaurants and 4 bars (including a nightclub) offer Italian, Asian-fusion, and Caribbean delicacies and unlimited drinks. A private, romantic dinner for two is also available most nights for an additional $75 per person.
The resort itself is nothing fancy. Rooms are dated, with Victorian-style furniture and floral bedding and curtains. The resort’s common areas also retain decades-old furniture, although everything is clean and has been well-maintained. Activities are a bit limited which can get boring, but if you don’t plan on spending a ton of time at the resort, this is a great central location that has everything you need.
Travelers visiting Nassau but staying elsewhere can also purchase guest passes to Breezes and visit the restaurants, beach, pool, or spa.
Atlantis Paradise Island
Finally, Atlantis Paradise Island is 5 resorts within a sprawling mega-resort on Paradise Island that stretches for 3 miles across a white sand beach. The resort is so big that it can even accommodate sailors visiting The Bahamas via boat thanks to their own private marina.
Atlantis Paradise Island consists of The Cove; The Reef; The Royal; The Coral; and Harbour Side, the resort across the marina. The centerpiece is the enormous Aquaventure Water Park, which is free for guests but also open to the public during the day (so it can get pretty crowded during high season and holidays).
While the Atlantis resorts are family-oriented and feature activities and entertainment for kids like waterslides, rides, pools, and marine habitats, there are also plenty of areas for adults to relax without kids splashing nearby. The most adult-friendly area is at The Cove, which has an adult-only 4-level pool. Guests must also be over the age of 18 to enter the on-site casino, although drinks here are not part of the all-inclusive package.
Rates and inclusions depend on the accommodation you go with, so be sure to check that out when you make your reservations.
