Myself and two friends flew from Toronto on Jan 22, 2004 to Nassau and we had a ball !!!! Flight The flight (Skyservice) going and coming were OK. On our way there we had a 40 min delays because there were a back long of planes waiting to de-ice. But once in the air, we made up the time arriving only about 15 mins later than scheduled. Front Desk
Check in was a "Breeze", we had no trouble, you have to give a credit card in case there are charges to the room (telephone), but this is ripped up in front of you when leaving. Also one night my friends who had the room keys ditched me, needless to say I had no key and the front desk were very nice, they sent someone to my door with a spare key to open it for me at 4:20 AM….that right in the morning!!!

Staff:
All of the staff wish you "good morning", most were friendly and helpful, especially if you ask something from the food servers.
Room:
It was standard, nothing fancy, the balcony door was stuck, someone came up to try and fix it but we didn’t have enough muscle to move it, plus the balcony was really just a few inches in length. The toilet in our room did stop going, but we got used to that, if you jiggle it a bit it stopped. The room isn’t to die for but then who goes to Nassau to stay in the room right!!! But it was clean and there were fresh towels each morning and the room was always made up nicely when we came back to the room to crash!!!
Food:
The food was amazing. The buffet was really good for all meals. There is lots of variety and something for everyone. They even have an ice-cream machine in the buffet. There is a snack bar between the beach and the pool. Be sure to try the fish fingers they are really tasty. We tried both restaurants Eden and Pastafari both were excellent, friendly and fast service, and are both had four course dinners. Be sure to book them ahead of time. The food at Breezes definitely made the vacation for us!!! The drinks are good and strong!!!
Beach/Pool:
The beach had some seaweed by the waters’ edge but it was nice and clean on the beach, lots of beach chairs. There is a towel service during the whole day. HOWEVER, just be warned that now is their winter, and the water is cold for both the beach and pool…only the jacuzzi next to the pool was nice and warm. We spent most of the time out of the water….but it was ok because we tanned and went to Atlantis
Weather:
This was the only draw back in Nassau, in the evenings a sweater is needed right now. Apparently March/April are their best months.
Entertainment:
The entertainers keep guest busy with games and activities during the day and shows every night. The are friendly, fun and interact well with the guests. The on-site disco is hopping from 12 AM to 5 AM and the drinks are good and free there too.
Side Trips: Make sure to take a Trip to Atlantis Hotel and pay the $25 for the tour, it is amazing, you see sharks, sting rays, schools of fish etc etc it was fantastic. We took the number 10 bus from in front of the hotel, the fare cost $1.00 US (bring exact change) which drops you downtown. You can either walk to the Ferry dock and pay $3.00 each way, to go over to Paradise Island with is where Atlantis is or pay a taxi $4.00 to drive over the bridge. We did both we went by Taxi and came back by Ferry both were enjoyable. I also talked one of the guys on the beach to take out a wave runner for 10 mins which cost me $20 US…normal prices are about $120 US per hour!!! This was a really memorable experience and will definitely try it again.
I would definitely go back to Nassau (but when the weather is a little warmer) and definitely stay at the Breezes again. It was a fun and terrific experience!!!!!!!
