Sandals Royal Bahamian

The short version

A resort in Nassau with its own island offshore: that is the hook. An included water taxi carries you out to Barefoot Cay, which has two beaches and a spa. Back at the resort you have 10 restaurants, 2 food trucks, 8 bars and 7 pools to work through. Room types include oceanview swim-up butler suites and villas with private plunge pools. Adults only, and under five miles from the airport.
