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 follow to its end. Turn right onto West Bay St and continue along the water. Hotel is on the left.

Getting there: There is no regular shuttle service from the airport so the easiest way to get to the hotel is by 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 ways to get around are on foot and by public buses, also known as jitneys. The #10 bus comes by the front door and heads to downtown shopping and tourist sites 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 buses stop running at dusk. Scooters are also a popular way to tour and 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.

Amenity highlights: Running along the resort's 750-foot beachfront furnished with lounge chairs and thatch shelters and dotted with palm trees, Cable Beach supplies light, fine-textured sand as an entrée into the warm, turquoise-and-blue Atlantic Ocean. Water-sports equipment, some complimentary, is available on the beach. Two pools located in large garden courtyards with ocean views offer freshwater swimming. Rocks, palm trees, and flowering bushes border a good-size lagoon-style heated pool next to the Oceanview Grill and Oceanview Bar. An expansive sundeck surrounds a second, larger free-form pool in another courtyard.
