a entry by Dreamers from a trip to The Bahamas.

We are on our way...first stop North Bimini, what a great introduction to the Bahamas. Stayed for 10 days...waited out Hurricane Dean and experienced the hospitality...so near yet so far from Florida.Not only tried conch (staple diet of Bahamians)for the first time but went farming (harvesting? fishing?)for it with a local - Bo Peep.

Next main stop- Nassau. Spent a few weeks there, had a few things to attend to so not all pleasure but did see and experience most things Nassau had to offer.Most notable - Paradise island, Atlantis resort and casino, jitneys (local buses-mini vans), ...

The Bahamas journal: FORFAR Field Station, Andros Island, Bahamas

2007-07-13T02:11:23Z

a entry by D. Botelho from a trip to The Bahamas.

Once we arrived at the FORFAR Field Station in Andros we had some lunch then went to the campsite to set up our tents for the week. We stayed at the campsite where there was an old schoolhouse that we used to keep our bags in and used as a shelter. The campsite had a tiki hut which had a loft that some people slept in. There was also an outdoor shower, bathroom, fresh rainwater to drink, and an in-ground hot tub. The campsite was about a mile away from the field station lodge where we ate breakfast and dinner. We had to walk through an area that became highly flooded at high tide, and ...

Paradise Island journal: Atlantis Equals Paradise

"wishing we could stay forever"

a entry by Dragonfli from a trip to Paradise Island, The Bahamas.

We were given a few choices of activities for the day Saturday, none of which struck our fancy. So we chose the day of relaxation, which unfortunately wasn't a spa day - it was a free day to do whatever you wanted. I was anxious to see Atlantis on Paradise Island, so we grabbed a cab over to Nassau's sister island. On the way we drove along a road that was right next to the water. Out in the water I saw a white tower that went down into the ocean. I knew I had seen this before, in fact I had been telling E about it a few days before our trip, wondering why it wasn't in any of the ...

Nassau journal: Port Nassau

2007-01-05T03:21:34Z

a entry by Matt Llewellyn from a trip to Nassau, The Bahamas.

We walked the streets and somehow found ourselves on a private beach behind the Hilton Hotel. There were just three others on the beach. We enjoyed the water and took a few good pictures. Fish swam around us. The water was warm and clear. We sat in the jacuzzi and laid in the hammocks. It was beautiful.

Nassau Bahamas journal: Overall pretty fun, but really touristy

2007-01-01T19:54:42Z

a review of Check the Atlantis and Cabage Beach, a thing to do in Nassau Bahamas, The Bahamas.

Overall Nassau is pretty much a regular tourist hot spot, not highly reccomended on my list of places to go for more than a day, but if you happen to be stopping off there for the day on a Royal Caribbean Cruise then be sure to check out the Atlantis, you can't miss it it's the bright pink giant hotel. Inside there is a restaraunt w/ gigantic aquarium with a colosal manta rays and tons of other larger than life fish.... Cabage beach is a nice beach w/ warm bath tub water temps and white sand beach that is not infested with tourists. We actually caught a ride here w/ some people going ...

Nassau journal: Junkanoo Dinner

"vibrant costumes and a lively beat"

a entry by Dragonfli from a trip to Nassau, The Bahamas.

We were welcomed on our first night with a dinner. It was kicked off by a cocktail hour, which we arrived at late since we had fallen asleep and woke up later than expected (thanks to about 3 hours of sleep the night before). But that was fine since mingling is not my forte. We ended up sitting with my manager, J and his wife, and three other couples from different communities.

Of course we had to sit through the requisite speeches of welcome and congratulations for winning the trip. The dinner itself was a buffet, nice and with a fairly good variety of food though it did remind ...

Nassau journal: a decent hotel on the beach with a beautiful poolscape

2006-03-15T02:04:38Z

a review of Radisson Cable Beach Golf Resort, a place to stay in Nassau, The Bahamas.

The hotel itself is average, the pools and beach area are the best part. We weren't too impressed with the location, mainly because we enjoy doing more than just lying on the beach, so we took a lot of cab rides to get to the areas where there were more things to do. This is definitely a good hotel, though, if your main purpose for your trip is sun and water fun.
