The upscale Old Bahama Bay Resort feels like a luxurious tropical compound, set on 225 acres of beachfront grounds next to a full-service marina. Its 73 elegant, spacious suites are set in plantation-style villas, in king, double and two-bedroom layouts (sleeping up to six) -- all with terraces, water views, kitchenettes or kitchens, and huge marble bathrooms. Freebies include Wi-Fi, water sports, and tennis. There’s a beachfront tiki bar and a nautical-style dinner restaurant. Arrival by seaplane, boat, or private jet (into nearby West End airport) is ideal, but taxis or the hotel shuttle can be arranged for the 45-minute trip from Freeport. Its fairly isolated location is best suited for those seeking an escape from touristy bustle, but travelers craving more a central, livelier property could try the the Grand Lucayan.
