Wyndham Nassau Resort

We traved first to Grand Bahamas and stayed at the island seas resort. It was terrible location and un-friendly staff. We decided to make a trip to Nassau and it madwe our trip. Great experience the hotel was top notch everyone was friendly and kind. You can tell they wanted us to be there.

We stayed at the Wyndham to attend a family wedding at the Sandals. The only complaint we had was the price of food. The buffet was decent but the prices were high!

> Food onsite limited. > Cabs are expensive. > 15% gratuity is added on most places. > Service can be slow everywhere on the island. > Nice beaches. > Go snorkeling.

i went with my wife and we both agree that this was the best place for us to be, everything was good the location, the people, and the casino. the only thing is that the food is a bit pricey but its ok everything else makes up for it

Great experience. Rooms very clean, restaurants reasonalby priced, good casino.

We really enjoyed ourselves at the Wyndham. Yes, the hotel is a bit old but it was clean and the rooms were updated and really nice. The pool area is great and there is plenty of beach to enjoy. Not much night life at all but we were there to relax and we were able to do that with no problems. Food is expensive but it is expensive everywhere you go - just be prepared.

We traveled with 3 other families all with grown children and there was plenty to do for everyone. The casino was great and the snorkeling a short boat ride from the beach was beautiful. There was a variety of places to eat on the premises and some were pricey but they served excellent food. Downtown Nassau had great shopping and it was easy to get there using the #10 bus for $1.25.

Great place and location! Concierge and desk staff always willing to help.

We arrived early (0800) and they claimed not to have our Orbitz reservation. However, they did go ahead and give us the room AND allowed us to check-in early. The patio pool bar area has been updated and though drinks and food are pricey, it is quite nice. Get a frozen drink at the Daq Shack on the beach by the volleyball court, you won't be disappointed. We had drinks at their bar upstairs, 22 Above, and throughly enjoyed the band. They are very good and versatile. Dinner at their Asian restaurant, Moso, is excellent too and no more expensive than any other restaurant. The Bahamas is hosting Miss Universe in August and they are cleaning up their act. We were also informed that this hotel will be closed for 8 weeks beginning Aug. 17th for "deep cleaning and some renovations." Skip Paradise Island and Atlantis, it's too crowded and too expensive. The Wyndham has what we needed - a nice time, a nice beach, and though it's not spotless, we had a clean room, in a safe environment.

We came to this island specifically to dive with the sharks through Stuart Cove's. After landing, we took a taxi from the airport for $8 a person. We got to the Wyndham to check in and found out there would be an extra $17 a day/per person that was not included when we purchased our trip online through CheapTickets.com. The woman said that all the hotels charge this "resort fee" anytime you book online with CheapTickets, [...], etc. For the three of us, this was an extra $51 a day. They said it was for maid service, non-motorized water sports & a few other things. Shouldn't maid service be included? The non-motorized water sports were sitting on the beach and using the pool and waterslide. We feel we should have been made aware of this when purchasing our trip online. Another thing that annoyed us was we had to pay $1 for every local call we made. Our cell phones weren't compatible there. And finally, it also cost to use the Internet and computers in the lobby. Nothing was complimentary. Things are on the expensive side here. We went down to the tourist grocery store and got some items for the week to help with food costs. There is no sales tax here and everything pretty much comes from the US. Now after saying all that, the hotel was pretty nice. It was clean & well kept. The staff was friendly. The beach is nice as well as the pool. There is a small waterslide that is free to use. There is also a swim-up-to bar. They also have cement tables & chairs you can sit at in the pool. You can pay to do the other watersports on the beach like parasailing, jet skiing, etc. We are not big gamblers so did not spend much in the casino. We did not rent a car. People drive kind of crazy there. The buses that run are perfectly acceptable modes of transportation for getting around. Most trips are $1/person, if you go to downtown Nassau, it is $1.25. The only drawback to the buses are that they quit at 6 pm. If you want to go somewhere at night, you have to take a taxi. Stuart Cove's sent a bus to pick us up and bring us back after our dive which was nice. We did a 2-tank shark dive which was amazing!! We also did a 2-tank dive with them a second day which included a wreck dive. There are some guys that come around while you lay on the beach to sell you snorkel cruises. We decided to take one. We went out to Rose Island & snorkeled and then came back and had lunch on a private island. The original cost was $60, but when I said we were running low on money, he decided to charge me $50. I found out from other people on the cruise that we all got charged something different. We went to Nassau one day & walked around. The straw market has a lot of people selling basically the same things-purses, tshirts, towels, wooden items. We also took a ferry across to Paradise Island where the Atlantis hotel is located. This hotel is huge and amazing! We walked through some of it but couldn't see everything because we either had to be a guest there or buy a pass. They also have a nice little pirate museum downtown. You can take a tour for $12/person. We ended the week by going to Senor Frogs in downtown Nassau the night before we left. This did not make for an easy travel day the next day. Overall the trip was awesome. I am sure we will go back to do the shark dive again.
