Bahamas Hotels and Resorts - The Bahamas has successfully promoted itself as a destination for US jetsetters, and a lot of it is Americanised. Yet there are still opportunities among its 700 islands and 2500 cays to disappear into a mangrove forest, explore a coral reef and escape the high-rise hotels and package-tour madness.

The 18th-century Privateers' Republic has become a modern banker's paradise, at least on New Providence and Grand Bahama. On the other islands - once known as the Out Islands but now euphemistically called the Family Islands - the atmosphere is more truly West Indian.

You'll certainly be more in tune with the local environment, and have a less generic experience, listening to a rake 'n' scrape band in a bar on a backwater cay than sunning by the pool at a Paradise Island resort.

Greenwood Beach Resort Cat Island Bahamas


Not far away from the hustle and bustle of Nassau, but far away from it all set amidst an atmosphere of tranquillity and s tyle. Enjoy your open-air breakfast on the beachfront, explore the Bahamas the way they used to be, go SCUBA diving or snorkelling on pristine coral reefs, or laze in a hammock in the afternoon breeze under swaying palm trees. Relax with your evening cocktail at the freshwater pool, and be prepared for a tasty surprise in the cozy dining-room after the sunset.

FOOD & DRINKS: The cookery of the Bahamas has been influenced by many cultures - elements of the American South, the Caribbean, Britain,Spain and Africa have altered the course of Bahamian cuisine throughout history. Tomato-based dishes, featuring local seafood and meat, and with seasonings such as thyme and spicy hot peppers, are frequent and popular main courses, whilst native fruits and locally produced rum feature in local desserts and cocktails. The Bahamian Kalik-Beer tastes delicous. The same is with the various Rum-Mixdrinks, like Bahama Mama or Goombay Smash. Excellent wines are from Chile, but also from California or France and Italy and Germany.
