Nassau International Airport (NAS): Approximate driving time is 12 minutes and distance is 5 miles.

Driving directions from Nassau International Airport: Turn right onto John F. Kennedy Dr. Turn left onto Blake Rd and continue to its end. Turn right onto West Bay St and continue along the water. Hotel is on the left.

Getting there: The simplest way is by stopping in at the Breezes desk on the Arrivals level and catching the complimentary shuttle service to the hotel. Otherwise, taxi fare is $5–$15 USD for the first 2 passengers and $3 USD for each additional person. Rental cars, Town Cars, and limousines are more than $36 USD. Fees subject to change without notice. Rental cars are available online.

Getting around: The easiest way to get around is either on foot or by public buses known as jitneys. The #10 bus comes by the front door and heads downtown for fares of less than $5 USD. Water taxis cross from behind the Straw Market in Nassau to Paradise Island, for return fares of $5–$15 USD. Fees subject to change without notice. Water taxis and jitneys stop running at dusk. Complimentary bicycles can be arranged through the hotel. Motor scooters rent for more than $36 USD. Fees subject to change without notice. Driving British-style (on the left) along narrow streets and through roundabouts is daunting for most visitors so if going longer distances, taxis may be best. Island-hopping is possible through Bahamas Ferries which runs catamarans to out islands including Eleuthera and Harbour Island from Potter’s Cay between the old and new Paradise Island bridges. Or visitors can travel as the locals do, on mailboats which leave for the out islands from Potter’s Cay or Prince George Wharf, but passage can run on “Bahamas time” (slowly) and cargo can include livestock. Return fares for both ferries and mailboats are more than $36 USD. Fees subject to change without notice.
