Melia, Wyndham or Junkaroo?

[big al]

Hi guys- I will be in Nassau at the end of October on a 5 night Oasis cruise..we will be in Nassau from 8A-5PM...I went to the Sheraton last year on our Disney cruise, but when we got there it started raining, so we left..I know it's the Melia now..question: There are 8 of us going on this port, and I want to know what you think of the Wyndham- it's $20 for the day, $10 cheaper than the Melia..I like that it has a hot tub ( or so it says..) , the Sheraton didn't have one I remember..how's the pool & beach at the Wyndham? Also, I know Junkaroo is free and has restrooms, food & drinks, but how's the beach? I'm trying to keep costs down since we are splurging a bit in Cozumel 2 days later..BTW, I've been to Nassau 10 times..but this is the first time with 6 others..BTW, scubagirl, any help you can give, that would be great...Thanks to all...

Just read on Trip Advisor that there are 2 negatives about Junkaroo beach: 1st, the locals can drive you crazy, and we don't want to be bothered...and 2) the music is played LOUD, which I also don't want to hear, and it's not reggae or Bahamian music, but loud hip hop or rap...Cabbage beach has the same problems with the locals..will I be bothered at the Melia or the Wyndham as well?

Hi- We were at the Melia in March- there is a whirlpool and the pools are good, as is the beach. Had been to Wyndham before- much prefer the Melia (had been there when it was the Sheraton also.)

Thanks so much cruiseapril! I guess it's worth the $10 difference,especially after I read terrible reviews on Trip Advisor on the Wyndham....

There are vendors at Melia (at least there were when it was the Sheraton). There are vendors at Atlantis. Just say no thank you. I don't find them any pushier than the folks on the NJ Boardwalks.

The locals never bothered us at Junkanoo more than any other beach. I'm a big fan of it and you can't beat the price :)
