Cable Beach/Nassau/Crystal Palace

Hello, Has anyone gone over to the hotels on Cable Beach and used their beachfront and or facilities? I've read about buses and taxis geting there, but hard to find first hand experience. Thanks, Thorne

Cable Beach is nice. The Crystal Palace was owned by Cranival a few years back. It has a lagoon and beach area plus a large deck around a pool with a water slide built into a rock and a "cave". It can be crowded at times but never too bad. When we go, we try to head a little further down the beach to the Radisson. It has a few large pools a swim up bar plus a grill on the beach.
We have never had problems using the facilities at either of these places. Oh and they are actually connected by way of a mall.

We 1st discovered Cable Beach 19 yrs ago on our 1st carnival cruise (jubilee) on the eastern itinerary. We loved it so much we visited via airline vacations twice more, staying @ the Radisson Cable Beach & the Casino. You can get there by local bus, very cheap, like $1 or $2. Or I guess by cab, but I don't know the fare for that. The beach is lovely, there are vendors, but just tell them no thanks.
