In the Bahamas, you have the choice of two resorts to choose from: The Royal Bahamian in Nassau, or Emerald Bay in Great Exuma. Each resort provides the same top notch Sandals experience but with thematic differences.

The Royal Bahamian is a European influenced locale that features its own off shore island. It’s like getting two different vacation experiences in one. Enjoy the buzz of Sandals Royal Bahamian one day and then Sandals Island on the next. Relax in one of the small coves while you sip on cocktails from the swim up pool bar. For that ultimate personal getaway, you can simply swing life away in a hammock under the trees. If one extra Island isn’t enough, you can go to Emerald Bay and experience the Bahamian Out Islands, a cluster of Islands that make up the south side of the Bahamas.

The rooms of The Royal Bahamian feature suites with Butler service and 24 hour room service. The Emerald Bay resort feature beach front walkout suites and even an impressive two-story villa for those that want the best of the best. These two locales are also differentiated by their food and drink offerings. The Royal Bahamian in Nassau features fine Italian, French, Oriental, and Caribbean Cuisine. There’s also a Bahamian style fish house called Stew Fish. At Emerald Bay, the food and drink focuses more on a European coupled with the best the Caribbean has to offer. As for activities, Sandals again offers their varied and excellent activities but Emerald Bay also features a Greg Norman designed, 7200 sq/yd par 72, championship level golf course. Emerald Bay features a 17 acre Marina for those who choose to make their way to the Bahamas on their own. Both resorts have access to local activities such as sightseeing and interacting with the local wildlife.
