Nassau Bahamas All Inclusive - By far, you'll find the highest concentration of all inclusive opportunities in Nassau; New Providence island. This isn't because of the vast real estate though, quite the contrary. Receiving the majority of visitor traffic, being the main island that houses the capital and arguably the most developed, resort and hotel developers often scout this location first. A few multi-billion dollar developments have found a home on New Providence island and several hundred million dollar investments as well. These projects rival anything you’ll find anywhere in the world.
Never feel though that the only way to enjoy the Bahamas is at a mega resort. Reality is quite different! You’ll find many smaller resorts and hotels that will fit much better with your vacation vision and that will surely impress. One major advantage smaller developments have over larger ones is specialized and sometimes boutique services. A smaller resort or hotel can mean that the staff are laser-focused at providing above-the-bar service for each and every guest. Since they aren’t spread thin with a multitude of guests they can spend more time and show more attention to the guests they do have. You can become known by name to all the staff even on subsequent visits instead of just another booking.
One great thing about choosing a Nassau Bahamas all inclusive, is that you’ll be close to the main city that has a lot of historic value and activities. So if you do decide to venture out you can go on awesome tours of the capital and other places like the John Watling’s Distillery and Pompeii Museum or perhaps even the Clifton Reserve on the western side of the island. There will be ample places to check for jet ski rides and you can even visit other all-inclusives and locations to utilize their amenities like the Aquaventure Water Park at Atlantis.
Another example is if you choose to stay at Sandals Royal Bahamian which doesn’t have a casino, you can still venture down to Atlantis or BahaMar and just go wild in theirs! Or if you stay at Atlantis you can still experience the elegance and romance of Sandals Royal Bahamian with one of their day passes (they don’t always offer these so check to make sure they’ll be available for when you arrive). These can add value and adventure to your vacation. So choosing a Nassau Bahamas all inclusive definitely has advantages especially since you'll basically be within driving distance of all that New Providence and Paradise Island has to offer.
Your vacation vision will help steer you to which islands you need to focus on while planning. Whether its a mega resort, boutique hotel or quaint off the beaten track inn. I’ve done my best to capture the feel at each establishment. Some may have a mixture of different elements so you may be able to have multiple experiences at one location. So sift through these Nassau Bahamas all inclusive hotels and resorts and see which one fits your vision.

Age rating: 0+

Kids programs: Melia has a dedicated kids club
Melia, to me, is a great sort of "entry level mega resort" where you can get somewhat of that mega resort feel but for a fraction of the price - and with more seclusion. Any section of Cable Beach is almost always great beachfront property and they sit in a pretty great spot along the strip. They are also very accommodating to kids as they have a dedicated kids club so parents can get some alone time. Being next door to Bahamar also has its perks as guests can walk over and partake of some of the activities happening over-the-way there like Bahamar’s 100,000 square foot casino! So, no singular big ticket item, but the all-inclusive feature makes it a solid, cost effective choice well under what the mega resorts charge for just room and board.

Sandals Royal Bahamian won’t be the cheapest, but boy will you get your money’s worth as it is truly a gem! In the local phone book they have the tag line "The Region's Most Elegant Resort" and if you visit them I think you'd agree. If you are looking for a destination suited mainly for couples, then this is the place to book. Romance, seclusion and elegance are just some of what you’ll find at Sandal’s Royal Bahamian. Some of the others will be butlers, a private off-shore island (Sandal’s island), a private car service (I’ve witnessed their several Rolls-Royce sedans roaming the island) and 11 specialty restaurants. To make it very clear, absolutely no kids allowed here - just adults in love.

Even though It may not have a singular big ticket attraction under its belt, Breezes, the first resort on the cable beach strip, is definitely a great destination for the family. They have a general tropical retreat type of feel accented by an abundance of bright colours and many activities suited for the entire family. If it’s family fun you’re looking for where everyone can find something to do at a price point below the mega-players, then Breezes should definitely be considered.

4-star all inclusive resort
Harbour Drive, Paradise Island, Bahamas

Age rating: 16+
Price rating per night, with taxes & fees: $$$
With up close views of the Harbour, the all inclusive Warwick Resort offers a very solid, adult-only (16+) option for vacationing on Paradise Island. Although a smaller type resort, the more cozy, intimate feel will surely appeal to those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle (and price) of the mega resorts. Beach access is available but it's a tad bit small because of the location. If you need to see miles of sprawling beach, you will be left wanting. However, depending on your beach-enthusiast level this may be very adequate as it is very nice and secure. The sleek and contemporary feel of the Warwick mixed with a bit of retreat flavour will be very refreshing.
