Spend a Long Weekend Vacation in Nassau, Bahamas
A Quick Trip to Nassau, Bahamas Offers Plenty to Do for Weekend Travelers
Long Weekend Vacation in Nassau, Bahamas - Hotel Accommodations
The premier hotel in Nassau is the world famous Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island. With its gorgeous views, water-park, aquariums, beaches, and casino, it's possible to have an excellent weekend without ever leaving the hotel! However, with prices starting at over $250 per night for double occupancy, it's outside of many budgets. A great alternative is the Comfort Suites Paradise Island, located right next door. Guests of the Comfort Suites have full use of the amenities at Atlantis - including the pools, beaches, tennis courts and casino. Prices at Comfort Suites start at as low as $170 per night.
Long Weekend Vacation in Nassau, Bahamas - Recreation
As expected from a popular tourist destination, Nassau has plenty of fun activities to keep you busy. A popular afternoon activity is a walking tour of some of the historic sites, including Fort Fincastle, the Queen's Staircase and the Straw Market. Most hotels will be able to arrange a tour for you, or you can go to the Nassau Island tourist center to find a tour guide. For the more adventurous among us, head out to Stuart Cove's Dive Center to go snorkeling or diving with the sharks. Or for something slightly less risky, take a ride on the Booze Cruise and enjoy music, snorkeling and an open bar.
Long Weekend Vacation in Nassau, Bahamas - Nightlife
Nassau is definitely a party town and the weekends will find you with plenty of places to go and get your dance on. Check out Club Waterloo, a club complex that includes a central swimming pool. Happy hour is from 4-8pm, there's live music on the weekends, and two dance floors. Another popular dance spot is Fluid Lounge, on Bay Street just a couple blocks down from the cruise ship dock. Fluid Lounge is popular among the locals, and has nightly drink specials. For a more casual atmosphere, "hop on over" to Senor Frogs on the beach. Senor Frogs also serves great food and is open until 1am.
So the next time you want to take a long weekend vacation, consider making a quick trip to Nassau, Bahamas. With accommodations, recreation and nightlife to fit every lifestyle and budget, you're sure to have a fantastic time.

Post a CommentARgh!! I wanted to put that in, and couldn't remember the name of the boat! So I went with the Booze Cruise instead. The Flying Cloud was pretty awesome.
Don't forget about the Flying Cloud cruise from the marina next to the bridge to Paradise Island. The funniest thin I ever did.
I should get together with my friends and do this next year. Thanks :D
What a wonderful place to see. Like it!
