Bay View Village, Nassau

This is one of the best family spots in all of Nassau, and especially on glitzy Paradise Island. The units are one-, two- or three-bedroom, and each has its own private kitchen and balcony. The sprawling property is arranged around three swimming pools, with a poolside cafe catering to guests who don't wish to venture into town or into the house. The place has a surprising number of modern amenities compared to many Nassau hotels, hair dryers, telephones with data ports and laundry facilities, to name a few. The port and the beach are within easy walking distance.
