Best of the Bahamas

Our honeymoon was great!  We went to the Bahamas, and got a killer deal at an all inclusive resort from CheapCaribbean.com.   The weather was perfect the entire trip. We saw a little bit of rain/wind the day we left, but it was really cool to see that weather on the island too.

Some Highlights:

Horseback riding on the beach.  This was not included, but glad we did this.  The lady running the business was so nice.  Plus she had like 40 cats, no kidding, it was funny.




Massages on the beach.


We brought Kris' laptop and had a few movies on there.  So at night we watched a movie on the beach. 




The "All You can Eat" breakfasts/dinners/lunches.  Most of the food wasn't that good because Bahamas has to import almost everything.  But imported bacon, fruit, spaghetti, is still good.  I had a really tasty Pollock Fish.  I thought in honor of my new Pollock last name I'd eat it twice. :)



Banana Bay-  This was about a 10 minute walk from our  hotel.  A little restaurant wit ha great view of the beach.  They had the BEST banana bread (with no nuts).  They had a hammock, and it was usually pretty empty.  You could walk in the water about 50 feet out, and it was still to your lower calves, and the water was clear as could be.





The warm water-  Growing up in Vegas has made me a wuss when in comes to water. It is all too cold for me.  The water was perfect.

Lunch Expedition-  We paid for a snorkeling adventure one morning.  They took us to a great spot with lots of really cool fish to snorkel in about 10 feet deep water.  We then had a BBQ on a private island.   One of the workers jumped in and caught Conk and made a conk salad.  Kris and I were content just looking at it. :)



View from our room. So cool to hear the ocean while falling asleep.


Our hotels had bikes for rent.  So we rode bikes around the island, and went to this cool "Garden Grove" place. 



We would go back again, but we also want to see the rest of the world.  So the only reason we wouldnt return is so we could expand our list of places we have been too.

But we definitely recommend CheapCaribbean.com.  Tip-- the best part of the deal seemed to be the hotel.  So the price for staying 4 days isn't much cheaper than staying 8, might as well stay for 8!    It would have been cool to go to a Sandals resort, or some crazy waterpark Paradise, but seriously the deal we got here, right on the beach was unbeatable.
