LisaRae Posted July 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2013 We are going to be in Nassau on July 16, DH's 50th birthday, woo hoo! We are looking at the day-pass hotels in the area. So far I have looked at Riu resort, Hilton, and Sheraton. Can you tell me the pros and cons of those various properties? And are there any others I should check into? I have done some research on the port for that day, and there will be three ships in, so if they are full, that's 6400 passengers in Nassau, not to mention the tourists staying at Paradise Island and in Nasssau in general. Lots of people! Thank you for any suggestions you may have. We are a group of two young ladies celebrating their high school graduation, two guys celebrating being 50, and two wives, just wanting to relax. Appreciate all your posts.

Rare CruisinCrow Posted July 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm not Scubagrrl but here are my two cents. We've been the RIU twice, Sheraton once, Hilton not yet, if that helps. :) RIU: pros - all inclusive, beautiful beach great for a long walk cons - costs more upfront (will you get your money's worth?), beach not good for swimming, not many activities Sheraton: pros - larger property with more pools, calm beach, watersports included cons - a la carte food pricing Hilton: pros - walking distance from port, beautiful quiet and classy hotel cons - "too near" the ships, harbor view Three ships are no big deal for Nassau. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaRae Posted July 1, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks for the info CruisinCrow! Well, the two guys would probably get their money's worth from the free drinks included in the price. Not sure about the rest of us. The Hilton gives you $40 voucher towards food, but sounds like the Sheraton is a prettier view. I had even looked at the day passes at the Comfort Suites for the water park at Atlantis, but I'm thinking the lines would be super long there.
