If paradise had a zip code, it would be West Bay Street, Nassau—home to the stunning Sandals Royal Bahamian. From the moment we stepped off the plane and into our Rolls Royce airport transfer (yes, really!), we knew this trip would be unforgettable.
After a breezy 15-minute ride from Lynden Pindling International Airport, we were greeted with chilled champagne and warm smiles. The resort’s recent renovations were immediately noticeable—modern, elegant, and infused with Bahamian charm. Our butlers, Doreen and Junior, made us feel like royalty from the start.
Travel Tip: Book a Butler Elite Suite at Sandals Royal Bahamian and enjoy a complimentary Rolls Royce airport transfer from Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport. It’s the ultimate way to kick off your luxury vacation in style
The resort’s beach is postcard-perfect, with powdery white sand and turquoise waters. But the real gem? Barefoot Cay, the resort’s private offshore island. Accessible by boat, it offered secluded beaches, a swim-up bar, and the delicious Aralia House seafood grill. We spent hours snorkeling, lounging, and sipping cocktails in this serene escape.
We dined like kings and queens. Our favorites:
Butch’s Chop House: The surf and turf was divine.
Tesoro: Loved the antipasti bar and chicken parm.
La Plume: Elegant French cuisine, though not our personal favorite.
Calico Café: Perfect for poolside snacks and casual bites.
Pro tip: Don’t miss the loaded nachos and the wine tasting experience arranged by our butlers—eight bottles delivered to our room with a charcuterie tray!
We stayed in the West Bay Honeymoon Oceanview One Bedroom Butler Suite. The view from our balcony was lively and festive, with music that wrapped up by 10:30 PM—just in time for a peaceful night’s sleep. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and stocked with thoughtful touches.
From the Red Lane Spa to the Penthouse Fitness Centre with ocean views, every amenity was top-notch. We also loved the misting pool and the vibrant Coconut Grove lounge area with food trucks and live entertainment.
We visited in July, and the weather was a mix of sunny skies and light cloud cover—perfect for beach days and romantic dinners. Even during brief rain spells, the resort’s cozy indoor spaces and attentive staff kept the magic alive.
Would we go back? Sandals Royal Bahamian delivered luxury, romance, and adventure in one unforgettable package. Whether you're planning a honeymoon, anniversary, or just a dreamy escape, this resort is a slice of heaven.
