Sandals or Breezes in Nassau?

Hi all!!! Looking for advice between Sandals ($110) or Breezes ($65). We are a group of 3 couples in our late 30's looking to have a fun vacation without the kids!!! Pros, cons, recommendations??? Thanks!

Breezes. Sandals food is a TAD better but not for almost double the price. both include drinks and a nice beach. Breezes hop on the #10 bus for $1.25 and it will take you right to the resort.

Been to both, enjoyed both but they are very different. Sandals is nicer - two big swim-up bar pools, private island, more food options, beautiful grounds. It has a more "couple-y" atmosphere. Breezes is more colorful, seemed to have more games and activities going on, younger guests. Good deal for $65.

You can take the #10 bus to either place but Sandals is a bit farther away.

When will you be going? If it's in the winter, the pools will be cold so that takes the fun out of the swim-up bars. :)

I have wanted to visit Sandals in Nassau for years! Love the idea of snorkeling on the private island. Please come back to CC and report to all of us your impression of whichever one you choose!

sandals is definitely nicer....but worth nearly twice the price, I personally dont think so.

We are leaving on the 16th and will most likely go with Breezes and will let you all know how it was!! :)

enjoy. I may be at Breezes either the 17th or the 24th myself. Have fun

I plan on doing Sandals 2 weeks from today. I decided on Sandals over Breezes because reviews of Breezes often say it is a bit run down. I wanted something nicer. I will report back. I am definitely looking forward to seeing the private island.

I just want to point out a couple of things about Sandals' private island. The ferry only goes over and back once an hour so watch your time. Also, be sure to pick up towels before you head over because they don't keep towels on the island. The best snorkeling is on the back side of the island, along the rocks to the left. We saw quite a few fish out there.

Can you tell me how you are still getting Sandals for $110? I'm hearing over $200pp... Thanks!

We called last week and they told us $110. The day pass ends at 4 or 5PM (I don't remember). There is an all day one that ends at 3AM or something. That may be the $200 one.

How do you purchase a day pass for Breezes? I cruise in December and would like to get day passes ahead of time.

I don't think you can get Breezes day passes in advance. We just bought ours at the front desk.
