Bahamas Honeymoon

Posts Tagged ‘Bahamas Honeymoon Resorts’

I live in Florida, but my family enjoys vacationing in the Bahamas because it is not quite as hot as in Florida and it is a better value. Generally, the hotels are much nicer in the Bahamas and also a better value.

I’ve stayed in many hotels in the Bahamas, but the Sheraton Lucaya is by far my favorite. I have two children (boys, now ages six and ten, but they have been traveling since they were babies) and my criteria for a good family hotel in the Bahamas is as follows:

1. The hotel must be clean. I am very particular of where my family sleeps and eats. I suppose I am a bit of a perfectionist, but my family really looks forward to and anticipates our family vacations. We deserve to feel comfortable and pampered and not worry if it’s safe or savory to sleep, bathe or be comfortable. I am most particular about the cleanliness of hotel bathrooms, hot tubs and pools.

2. It must be family friendly. I do not want dirty looks from other patrons if my children are having fun in the hotel pool or restaurant. But, I want the hotel to still be classy and not lacking because of all of the kids and families. Disney really has the family friendly atmosphere perfected and I want whatever hotel I stay in to embrace and welcome my family as much as possible.

3. The staff must be energetic, mature, and loving. Most family friendly hotels today have a kids club or some sort of camp or babysitting to entertain children. This is a nice idea, but not all hotels really excel at this. In order for me to feel comfortable leaving my children and in order for my children to want to participate in the camp, the staff really has to have a magic way with children (and with parents). You have to trust the employees and know they welcome your children.

4. The hotel has to be both relaxing and entertaining. I want to be able to relax in the hotel, but I don’t want it to be boring with nothing to do.

5. The hotel has to be reasonably priced. There are many hotels in the Bahamas which are wonderful but cost way too much. Atlantis is the gold standard, but if I stayed there, I could only afford to stay a few days. I need a clean, luxurious hotel with all the bells and whistles that is reasonably priced so I can afford to stay several days.

The Sheraton Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island fits the bill beautifully. I have gone here time and time again because it is a beautiful, clean, relaxing yet exciting resort that offers something for all members of my family. There are a lot of fun family activities and there are also opportunities for parents to be alone while the kids are entertained in the kids club. The staff is wonderful at engaging the kids.

My boys look forward to kids club as there is a different activity everyday. There is also a huge variety of outdoor activities as well as the relaxation of the beach. This resort is full of families so we feel very comfortable here. It has a Disney like atmosphere without the obnoxiousness that Disney sometimes has.

Price wise, the Sheraton Lucaya is very competitive. There are always deals on the resort and it is much cheaper than Florida or other sunny destinations

The best way to evaluate the Sheraton Lucaya is by viewing video footage, reviews, and photos. Visit the Sheraton Lucaya Family Vacation Review Website by clicking here to see videos, close up photos, and rock botton comparison prices on this very family friendly Bahamas vacation.
