Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort - Nassau, Bahamas

The epitome of a traditional Caribbean resort - this adult-only, all inclusive, couples hide-away is just 10 minutes from the airport, close to the new Baha Mar resort.

Accommodation  There are three main grades of room, with the grade dictating which lounge you can enjoy during the check-in process as well as your room type. The room types range from four poster rooms with semi-private gardens or shared pools, to standard hotel rooms in blocks arranged around the main pools. The rooms are traditional in design, with dark wood and bright carpets - with many including butler service.

Dining The resort has every style of cuisine covered, with 10 traditional and less formal options, including a beach-side pizza shack. Our favourite bar, in the hotel’s main pool, allows guests to swim up to order their favourite cocktail, which they can enjoy while floating on a sun-lounger without fear of being “bombed” by children.

Entertainment The atmosphere at Sandals is relaxed and friendly and the majority of couples there spend their days reading, chatting to other guests and soaking up the sun.  The resort has a gym adjoining the pool, and a spa, with exercise classes for those wanting to work up an appetite for their next meal.  Numerous water sports, including sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving (supplement for instruction) are included in the all-inclusive rate, and as the resort is situated in a sandy bay, it is a safe place for first-timers to learn. Resort hosts arrange traditional activities, such as skittles during the day and there is a cruise-ship style of entertainment schedule for the evenings.

Secluded Island For the ultimate hideaway - as long as you don’t mind sharing it with other resort guests - catch the hotel’s private ferry across to their private and sandy island. Situated only a few hundred metres off the coast, you will find another pool with a swim-up bar and whirlpool, private cabanas and hammocks, private beaches, snorkelling, a zen garden, spa and restaurant.

Weddings  With full time wedding co-ordinators in the resort, many couples enjoy the convenience of  a Sandals wedding, and the resort regularly offers a free ceremony if you stay more than 3 nights. There are numerous options for a ceremony - on the beach, the private island, by the pools, beside fountains or in one of the pretty gazebos surrounded by tropical flowers and palm trees. In accordance with local law, gay weddings cannot take place anywhere in the Bahamas.
