Paradise Island Harbour Resort

While vacation resorts may seem expensive, they might actually help you save money on your trip if you choose one that is all inclusive. If you think about it, adding up transportation, hotel room, food, drinks, and activities to stay busy equals quite a bit of money. If you are looking for a great all inclusive resort in the Bahamas, check out Paradise Island Harbour Resort.

I recently stayed there for six nights with three of my girl friends. Our room cost $300 a night and they even gave us a $200 rebate for booking our flight with them. We chose to do the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in the Sun all inclusive package. Included in the $300 per night were 3 meals a day, unlimited alcoholic drinks, daily entertainment, two 30 minute massages, and $100 in gift certificates to the Calypso Carousel Boutique in the city. We were very happy with our decision to stay here and with everything that was included for the price.

One of our favorite things was the free daily scuba lessons. This was a great way to get out in the water and explore. We probably never would have done this if it wasn't included. The resort also has floating chairs and paddle boats to borrow which kept us busy. There were land sports available like tennis courts, horseshoes, and beach volleyball. Mountain bikes were available for no charge. We made use of these to explore the island surrounding the resort.

The resort has a private beach and a huge 300,000 gallon pool. We spent a lot of time just relaxing outside.

At night, there were two restaurants to choose from with the option of dancing or some type of local entertainment following the meal. The food was much better than I had expected. My favorite entertainment was the local fire dancers who were awesome to watch.

While none of us had children with us, I noticed that there were tons of activities for children to do such as sports and crafts. They have 24-hour babysitting available if you are looking for a vacation where you can spend some time away from your kids.

I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone who is looking to stay in the area because of the great value. Having everything included even encouraged us to do some things that we otherwise would not have done simply because they were there. We all had a great time and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
