Party of 12 ages 5-60 need help with Nassau

[gigem_aggies]

Trying to figure out the best option for a party of 12 in Nassau.  We have 6 kids (ages 5-14) and 6 adults.  There will be 3 ships in port that day.  We were looking at the Comfort suites deal to get to Atlantis, but seems like we will still be paying a lot when you factor in food and drinks. 

 

What's a great option for:

1) Food and drinks for adults

2) Nice beach with not a ton of vendors haggling you

3) Pool/activities for the kids

We've never been to the Bahamas, so just trying to figure out what the best thing to do for our family would be!  We have snorkeled, swam with the dolphins, sting ray encounter, etc in other ports.

In Nassau partying?

Everything at Atlantis is EXPENSIVE.  

 

I would also also like some recommendations for a large group - ages 4 to 82.

Have you considered the Ardastra Gardens and zoo?

The flamingo show and feeding the lorikeets are the highlights.  Check the website to be there at the correct times for these events!

 

Last time we were in Nassau, we took a taxi to the gardens, but walked back.

On the way back, you go past the the Fish Fry area where there are lots of choices for food and drinks.

I believe we also walked past a beach area.

My recommendation would be to let your group do their own thing and not try to plan one excursion.  With that kind of age range, finding something that makes everyone happy will be difficult.  Just getting everyone rounded up will be difficult. 

 

But since that doesn't really answer your question, maybe a beach day at Blue Lagoon?  That's good for all ages, there are plenty of different locations around the island to spread out and do different activities, and the ferry ride is beautiful.
