Club Med Paradise Island Report
The husband and I just returned from a wonderful week at Paradise Island. It
was the perfect, seamless vacation and we were glad to get to go there one more time. We flew from KY on US Air to Charlotte NC and then to Nassau (found the best deal on www.hotels.com which included flights and the Club). We taxied over to the Club and *sigh* it was as beautiful as ever. The check in was effortless and the room was available even though we arrived before 3:00 p.m. The room was clean, comfortable, and included a small refrigerator which came in very handy. The grounds were exquisite with the flowers and trees in full bloom, and everything was very well maintained. The ocean was warm and the beach lovely, though the winds were somewhat high which prevented us from taking the powerboat excursion to Exuma, something we've always wanted to do. We swam and drank and ate and exercised and enjoyed taking the water ferry to Nassau. We talked to some of the staff, and apparently some of them will be employed by the Atlantis when the hideous takeover occurs. Nobody seemed to know for sure exactly what will come of the property, but many thought everything will be torn down! There was also some rumor of something called "Atlantis Estates" being built there. I am so disappointed that the Club decided to sell this village, because it was perfect for most of us who travel from the US and is such an ideal property. Apparently, Atlantis made them an offer they couldn't refuse. We walked to the Atlantis in the evenings and came away ahead from their casino :-) Anytime you come up ahead from a casino you know you've won! The food at the Club was as wonderful as ever, and we enjoyed the seafood salads and the wonderful breads and cheeses. The conch fritters were excellent as well. We usually had lunch at the Grayleath and dinner in the Porcupine. Many evenings we openly took a bottle of Merlot from the Porcupine to put in our refrigerator and nobody seemed to care. I am going to miss that Club! I loved sitting in the Porcupine and looking out at Nassau and sitting in the Grayleath and looking out at the ocean. I guess I'm going to have to find another place with its ambience, but that will be hard to do! Feel free to email with any questions --- you still have a few months to go! Andrea Andrea |
