Beaches And Pools

Who doesn’t love beaches and pools?

Escape to Paradise Island, step foot on a beachfront balcony, and enjoy the lucite waters of Cable Beach, Nassau.

No matter what hotel you choose, you will have access to any of the 10 pools on Baha Mar’s property.

There’s literally a pool for every mood:)

“The Adult Playground” – known as Terrace by Bungalow, is bordered by lush Bahamian palm trees, that accents the divine design of the SLS pool.

If you’re looking for fun, Privilege is where the party is!

You will find familiar faces and celebrity-guest DJ’s on rotation at this pool!

WARNING: It is super ‘lit’ and the food is fire!

Surround yourself with serenity – and ease your way into a calming cabana, at Grand Hyatt’s Reflections pool.

“If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it?”

No, but if my husband jumps off a cliff – into the Grand Hyatt Blue Hole Pool, I may just catch him through my camera lens:)

 

Save Money On Alcohol

So your next question is:

“What are the cost of drinks at Baha Mar?”

Your average drink can cost between $15-$22.

There’s also alcohol in the gift shop inside the resort:)

Our drink charges were not bad at all.

Guess it depends on how much of a ‘buzz’ you prefer. Lucky for our husbands; Jennifer, Thyna, and I are light-weight, daiquiri drinkers.

 

Vacation Vibes

What are YOUR desired vacation vibes?

My husband and I work nonstop. Between career and kids, it’s easy to run out of time for one another.

Marriage requires effort.

Travel is the one hobby Jeremy and I have in common.

We really enjoy exploring new destinations together.

Now that we get to share these experiences with close friends, our couples getaways are even more fun!

On most Caribbean getaways, we’re either exploring off-site or booking an exciting excursion. But this time, we didn’t bother to leave the resort.

Which is a good thing, because we were actually considering an $8,000 boat ride to Exuma!

One thing for sure — Baha Mar never failed to keep us busy!

You’d either find us at Privilege soaking up the sun, ‘shot up’ by wine guns,  getting dressed for an exquisite culinary experience, or cashing out at the casino.

Tip For Travelers: If you plan to gamble,

‘know your limit’.

( those free drinks add up.? )

What should you expect at Baha Mar?

If you are looking for ‘Vegas vibes’ in paradise…

then you’ve hit the jackpot!

Planning ahead is how you budget for your Baha Mar experience.

The experience feels like a  ‘whole new world’.
