Nassau

Pros: All inclusive after snorkeling
Cons: none

Went on April 15, 2008 to Nassau for the day. Wanted to go snorkeling and heard about the Flying Cloud. A 57'ish Cat. Beautiful day outside. Seas were good. We met at the Marina on Paradise Island. They usually can pick you up no charge from The Rawson ...

Pros: NOTHING
Cons: horrible food at expensive prices, being hassled by locals to buy their stuff, being fleeced

I just came back from a 5 day vacation in Nassau, Bahamas. I highly recommend that you save your money and go elsewhere for vacation because it's a complete tourist trap. I didn't like Cancun before I came here but now looking back, even Cancun is a far ...

Pros: mix of history, beauty, shopping, entertainment, and water
Cons: guides at individual attractions peddle for tips, attractions somewhat spread out, my tour had issues

My first Caribbean cruise stopped in Nassau for about eight hours. That seems sufficient for getting a sense of the place, but the first hour or more were wasted waiting for immigration to clear the non-US passengers. Coupled with snorkeling located ...

Pros: Easy walk from cruise ships
Cons: Not overly attractive. Has trouble holding onto the quaint feel with all the mega-buck stores.

Nassau is the main town of New Providence Island, Bahamas that is smack between popular Paradise Island and Cable Beach. Both areas are growing and will look quite different three years from now. Demolition and new construction will be at a high mark ...

Pros: A tour of Nassau, Bahamas is worth every penny you've got.
Cons: The Bahamas airport looks third-worldish to me.

The islands of the Bahamas is part of the Caribbean and as such is about three hours away by air from Toronto, Canada; or about 45 minutes from Miami, Florida. The time is exactly that of North American Eastern Time. From the International Airport at ...

Pros: great for beach lovers, plenty of activities and shopping, nice people
Cons: some things very expensive, humidity

About six months ago, my mom started talking about how she needed a vacation. I agreed with her because the last time she traveled was to Hawaii in 1998. I have been to Florida a couple times in the past year, but I have never been to any "tropical ...

Pros: White sand, crystal clear water, picturesque beaches close 2.5 hours from New York.
Cons: Trap bait. Nassau will break your bank, your heart and rob your peace of mind.

This one is probably the longest but I needed to write every word to get the truth out and set myself free. Also, I figure there haven't been too many new reviews on this island lately, which may mean people are declining to go. But if you are ...

Pros: Quick flight and you can get pretty good deals to stay.
Cons: Pretty boring if the weather is not good.

My husband and I found that we had amassed a few hundred dollars in our change jar and we were both itching to get away for a bit, so we chose to go to the Bahamas. We stayed at the Radisson Cable Beach Resort. The airport is terribly unorganized. ...

Pros: Straw Market, some of the small side shops.
Cons: Can get crowded during rush hour.

Date of visit: Jan 2005 During our stay in the Bahamas, we found ourselves in downtown Nassau on many occasion, although our hotel was on Paradise Island (see: h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _169548549764 ) We ...

Pros: Beautiful beaches and water WHEN the weather is good.
Cons: Incredibly expensive given the quality of the goods and the service; inconsistent weather in winter

Nassau is the biggest city on the most populous island in the Bahamas and it still felt like a very small city. This would probably be a very relaxing vacation when the weather is good. However, when the weather is average (i.e. not sunny as opposed to ...

Pros: Beautiful beaches, friendly people
Cons: Don't expect to spend more than 5 wonderful days, there... it's a small island.

Money and How Not to Loose it: The Bahamian Dollar and the American Dollar are as close in worth as currency comes. In fact, don't be surprised if you pay for something in one and get back your change in the other-- you are not getting a deal or ...

Pros: Pretty island, beautiful water, neat crafts.
Cons: Poor travel Value. Pushy vendors, mediocre, overpriced food.

My recent trip to Nassau was my effort to give the Bahamas a second chance. A few years back, my wife and I met up with some friends in Freeport, Grand Bahamas and the only nice thing I can say about the trip is that we had great company. We decided ...

Pros: Beaches, activities, Atlantis, weather, food
Cons: Being hassled downtown, prices for most things

Week of Trip - 2/21/04 to 2/28/04 My boyfriend’s birthday falls in the month of February and I decided we should celebrate with a vacation in The Bahamas this year. (Plus, nothing’s really happening here in the dead of winter.) Without really ...

Pros: It's nice to see the shopping area.
Cons: The straw market can give you the creeps.

We were in Nassau last July. We came in on the Royal Carribbean Sovereign. If you are cruising, you are very close to the downtown area. There are about three or four big cruise ships there about the same time. You can walk to the shops without any ...

Pros: mouth watering conch salad, friendly people, so much to do, beautiful resort, meet famous people
Cons: reasonable expenses of a vacation (but well worth it)

I love to travel, that's the bottom line. I have been out of the country to places including: Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, Bermuda, and The Bahamas. As a teenager, obviously I love the beach and everything that comes with it; the sun, the fun, and ...
