Vacation To The Bahamas
Suggestions/tips for Grand Bahamas Vacation please.?
Honeymooning in Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach, 4 miles from Port Lucaya Market Place, 12 miles from downtown Freeport. We are staying all inclusive so probably won't leave the resort much, just looking for excursions or restaurants that are awesome or a great deal or both! I have tried googling and it is all ads, so if anyone knows the cheapest and nicest stuff to do? Thanks!
Hi. I live in Freeport and have stayed at Viva Wyndham even. One of the things that seem popular from there is riding bikes (not sure if they are free or not) from the resort, into Port Lucaya. I guesstimate it will take about 20-30 mins one way. It's all flat but the bikes look kinda old, so if you are not in good shape, might be a bit of a hard ride. Port Lucaya is the main shopping/restaurant area and you should check it out at least once. In Port Lucaya there are a few restaurants that range in price from cheapest - Zorbas (Greek) to expensive - East (oriental). Agave is the newest trendiest place. Also Le Med is good. Corner Bistro is good - has an early bird menu that is affordable. And a few in between. There's some good bars in the square, where the entertainment happens. My favourite is Rum Runners where the beer prices are the best. Try to go on a Friday or Sat night and there's a show in the square. When I stayed at Viva, the bartenders in the main lobby area (where you will get your free drinks!) were very happy to tell you about places to go.
There is a tour desk at the hotel too. Suggested tours are horseback riding, Kayak Nature tours (excellent!), Paradise Cove (snorkelling). Or you could go scuba diving at Unexso or a Dolphin Encounter (also Unexso). Don't know how long you are staying, but if just for a short time, your resort will entertain you! It is set on a gorgeous beach with miles of white sand and if you are looking at just kicking back with your new spouse, you have found the right place. If you do any tours or head into Port Lucaya to the restaurants, shops or bars, mention me - Leigh from Bahama Buy and Sell newspaper. I know lots of people! have a great time. Grand Bahama is not the most wildly exciting place, but for a relaxing vacation (and that great beach!) you have picked the right place.

What is the best time of the year to vacation at Bahamas?
During the month of March.
We lived in the Bahamas for many years and April is the most beautiful month with the blooming poincianas. And it is less crowded. Late March may be getting into that time. The weather is lovely. It can be chilly in January, February and early March (not often, but it happens.)
If you want to avoid the crowds, go after Easter (April 8 in 2007).
It is lovely there usually in March, but that is most expensive and crowded time. Have a good time.
