Baha Mar confusing my plans! Mid May 2013

[Debbbiee]

Ugh. Can't edit my title. This is for May 2014

 

I think this is a ScubaGirl (glad you are back!) question, but would love to hear from anyone with input!

 

 

Does anyone know when Baha Mar will open? Will the Sheraton/Wyndham properties still exist? I have no idea what my options are anymore!

 

I just want access to a beach area with beautiful water. That is my #1 priority. Beautiful ocean water. I am willing to do a day pass or a public beach. We are 4 adults, no kids. We'll also want access to food somewhere. It doesn't matter if the food is part of a package or pay as you go. Atlantis/Comfort Suites is more than I want to spend. Comfort Suites room plus taxes is coming out to over $400 with possible additional fees charged at check out.

 

TIA!

Debbie

Bahamar Opens in Dec 2014, Sheraton/wyndham will not be renovated until the other hotels are open and operational. This shouldn't affect your may 2014 arrival

Wonderful! Thank you!

Check out RIU too. Gorgeous beach and all-inclusive lunch and drinks. You can book in advance through Island Marketing for $75 a person. The beach next to RIU is free but I don't believe there is any food available.

Thank you, CruisinCrow!

 

I am very happy with the location of RIU. I've been on an Atlantis excursion before and the thing I loved the most was being in the ocean water there. It had nothing to do with the resort itself! We are going to try and skip the all-inclusive at RIU and find food on our own. $75 is a great price but I'm covering my dad and brother's cost also so if I can save some money, I'd like to.

 

So that leaves me with a couple more questions.

 

Is the beach in front of RIU a public beach? Or would I need to go off to the side of the resort? If so, is there an area between RIU and Atlantis? Or just on the other side of RIU?

 

Anyone know how long of a walk is would be to an a place to get food? I'm not sure what is in the area and I don't know how far of a walk to Marina Village at Atlantis.

 

Thanks all!

There's nothing between Atlantis and RIU. The public entrance to Cabbage Beach is to the east of RIU. You can rent chairs and I believe there are vendors who will sell you drinks. But as far as I know, there is no food. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are no restrooms!

 

Hopefully someone will chime in with lunch suggestions.

Thanks for asking this question. We were wondering too.
