My trip to Nassau, rain rain go away

Last month my two friends and I visited Sandals Royal Bahamian. Since we were 3 ladies and it is a couples only resort, we had two rooms. Picked up at the airport by a Rolls Royce. (I was never in a rolls- delete that from my bucket list).

We get to the resort and of course all of my friends who are in management are there for me..I just love them and the resort.

I get to my room...a one bedroom suite but you know the new rooms in the Balmoral block are much nicer..but I still opted for bigger....as we know bigger is better..They still need some renovation but as they say in Jamaica..soon come.

It rained...it rained and it rained. So we shopped and shopped and shopped some more. Downtown Nassau has become my very favorite place..oh the jewelry..and Columbian Emeralds..I like diamonds so don't be confused by the name.

There is a bus right outside of the resort...the #10..take it...totally safe and pay $1.25 each way...so easy to spend your money.

Back to the resort and we have an eat-a-thon going on. All of the restaurants are fabulous with the exception of Crystal. Not that the food isnt great..the service was slow and I believe they need a new wait staff.

Surprise surprise...waiting in my room for me were airline tickets to go to Exuma...a nearby island where there is a concierge/butler only resort called Sandals Emerald Bay. It has the most luxurious sand and it is simply amazing.
The resort has come a long way since I was there last and I am glad that Sandals resorts were kind enough to send me there.

Pure relaxation is the name of the game there. I would suggest a split stay for all of you who chose to go to the Bahamas. Spend 4 nts in Nassau...take a flight to Exuma and stay 3 nights at Sandals Emerald Bay....Just the best time to be had..

Got back to Nassau and more rain. We figured we would have to rearrange our schedule. Morning shop while the rain comes down..and 4pm beach or pool.
I must say, since the last time I was in Nassau the resort has improved tenfold.
More things to do...better food....and a much friendlier staff.

This is all due to the efforts of the wonderful management ...headed by Patrick Drake...he is amazing.

With love,

Sue
