has any one stayed at the sandyport beaches resort this summer.

Does anyone know of a cool boat with a cover that rents for a half day and is at least 25 feet that can take my family snorkeling and swimming around paradise island? need it for the 10 or 11th of oct, 2009. thanks , Tommy

Is anyone experienced underwater activities during his stay? also, which hotel do you recommend for a budget of $100/night for 2?
Thnks

I have heard through a couple of people and I know it was the case a few years ago when I was there. A hotel across from the Atlantis enterance where you can stay, be allowed use of the Atlanis ammenities and pay lower lodging. I can not remember the name of the hotel. Anyone ever heard of this?

what are the cross sreets for the city markrt in Nassua Bahamas? which is part of the Winn-Dixie chain, but which is called a City Market in Nassau.

This will be my first cruise and I have heard Nassau is ok... I was hoping for a better response I am on a budget but would love to have a awesome trip with out coming home broke...

I will be going on my first cruise and I would like it to be memorable we will be in Nassau most of the time and I was wondering how to do fun things on a budget snorkeling, glass bottom tour boats maybe rent some jetskis but for the best price... please help...

Is it easy enough to take a taxi from the port to Atlantis rather than do the cruise excursion? I want to visit the water park, but my family would just look around the resort.

Hi, is this possible? To rent a scooter from Prince George Wharf and driving it to the Atlantis. My husband and I love to rent scooters to tour islands on "our time" and I would love to visit the Atlantis and I am curious about how long it would take to do this. I would love any feedback!!! Have a great day!

We are planning a trip in June but are confused about the meal plans. Different web sites indicate different restaurants under the regular or gourmet plans. Our main question is if eating at other than a buffet, is there a special menu at the restaurants for those opting for the meal plan or is it a choice of any one entre' from their regular menu? Also, for anyone that has used a meal plan do you have any advice as to best times or particular restaurants to concentrate on using? One more question on the meal plans, is the charge for the meal made to your room then deducted at checkout or no indication made on your bill at all whether you used it or not? Thank you in advance for your reponse.

Are there any cruises that originate in Nassau?

Can someone tell me if you are not staying at the Atlantis in Paradise Island Bahamas, can you still use their facilities for a fee

heading to the Sunrise Beach Villas Paradise Island Bahamas. Since these villas do not have onsite activities, can someone tell me what activities there are for two 14 year old and two 17 year old boys that is not overly expensive. Does anyone have any feedback on these villas, this will be our first time staying there

Hi there,

My husband and I are planning to take a cruise to Nassau from Fort Lauderdale in mid February 2009 as we've never been on a cruise before. We are wondering if we decide to fly back, would that be an option or are there penalties for not taking the return cruise back. Please help.

I will be in Nassau on December 31, 2008 what are the hours of the straw market on that day (New Years Eve Day)

We're coming to Nassau, Bahamas on a Carnival Cruise Ship for 2 days. Are there any resorts where we could pay to use their beaches for the day? Thank you. Westshores.

We're taking my 88 year old mother and law on our cruise which will spend 2 days in Nassau, Bahamas. I have previously been to the Blue Lagoon and loved the beautiful relaxing area which included hammocks and relaxing under the palm trees with a lunch included. Can anyone help me find out where I catch the boat to the Blue Lagoon and how much a day trip to the lagoon would be. Are there chairs to use under the palm trees where my mother in law would be comfortable? Thank you. Westshores

I've been trying to find out the best place to get advanced tickets for the New Years Day 2008 Junkanoo, but no luck so far. Tajiz.com tells me they no longer sell them. Does anyone know where I might get them? I'm arriving in Nassau on 12/30/2008. Any advice about the event itself would also be appreciated.

I've read where the taxi's charge by the person. My party consists of three adults and two children. What would it cost for a taxi from the airport to Atlantis? Atlantis has a shuttle but it is $90 round trip. Looking for something cheaper.
Is there any other method to get from the airport? Bus?

If we fly into NAS on US Airways from Charlotte, NC, how much time should we allow to get to get through customs to catch the Cat Island Air flight to Cat Island? We have never been to the Bahamas before, so we don't know the airport or area at all. The flight I'm thinking of booking lands at NAS at 1:42 pm, and the Cat Island Air flight leaves NAS at 3:00pm.
Thanks for any help!

We're interested in finding out if there are any cruises that depart from the Bahamas instead of just visit it as a port of call? We already have a flight to the Bahamas from here in Canada and interested in going on a cruise as well. Any help would be great!

I am taking a cruise to Nassau next week. I wondered if I could take the ferry water taxi from the harbor to Paradise island and Atlantis and stay at Atlantis resort for a few hours and then return back on the ferry taxi? Also is it easy to walk to the Atlantis resort from where the ferry water taxi stops?

has anyone out there paid and used the all inclusive part at the hotel.. I would like to know if its any food all day long or what the reservation people say it lists 3 meals a day and they have no other info. but what no one knows is are you allowed to graze all day at snack bar at pool, or visit the buffet 5 times a day? etc. thanks very much its between staying here or the traditional all inclusive at the RUI

I have stayed on Cable Beach but now I am visiting on a cruise. Can I just hop a jitney and spend the day at Cable Beach with my young grandchildren? We are arriving in December and just want some beach time with that beautiful clear Bahamas water. Or do wwe need to take a shore excursion? Thanks....Anne

Could someone tell me where the nearest Winn Dixie or other marketplace would be? We are traveling with three families, 8 kids, and need snacks, milk, etc.

Do the rooms have refrigerators/microwaves? Would you suggest bringing a cooler? Are there ice machines available?

Thanks! Gracias!

What if we will stay besides the Atlantis and want to go to the water parc. Is there a way for us to get passes at the towel counters? How much should we expect to pay for a day at the parc? Are there any way to buy wristbands for sheap?

Regards

Yves
