We stayed at Taino Beach (ritz) resort about 5 minutes away from port Lucaya. The food at the resort was nothing special and I must say that the customer service was BELOW average and we had a lot of things cancelled and closed down that we canted to do that week. There were about 12 couples there at the same... more

The market provides alternate dining from the resorts across the street, which will save you a pretty penny, and amenities like a drug store and liquor store are pretty handy. While the shopping isn't GREAT, its pretty good and more then what you will find at the international market. DON'T bother with the international market as its still not up... more

It is really the hub of entertainment in Lucaya and you may be disappointed. Here's some tips that may hopefully help you find your way... 1) Oasis is your typical drug store/quicky mart type place. Go here for toothpaste, suntan lotion, bottled water, candy, snacks, etc. etc. It's expensive but no where else sells this stuff that we could find.... more

This is a nice place to wander around the shops and the straw market- a good place to pick up souvenirs. This is not power duty-free shopping like St. Thomas, but they have a nice selection of jewelry stores and t-shirt places. There are plenty of bars and eateries to pick up a bite or spend the afternoon people-watching and... more

When you get over the initial greeting of all the ladies working the market place stalls, the market place is a fun day or night out. Check out Wednesday and Friday nights in the Count Basie Theatre located right in the center of the market place. Fantastic new show and great local bands play. The limbo performer is absolutely amazing!!!... more

Good variety of restaurants and price levels,. Shopping so-so. Would highly recommend Capuccino's restaurant. Best meal in Lucaya along with the best service! Zorba's had some issues with the huge crowds on cruise ship days and were a little frazzled. (Note: Don't share your frustration with the guests..) Lots of Mom & Pop places and service reflects that, but hey!... more

We stayed at the Redwood Inn and we had a fabulous vacation. It's close to all the attractions so you save cab and bus fare too. The restaurants at the Market Place had good food and service. I found a great chicken parmegen sandwich at the Sports Bar that was just wonderful. The beach is just a walk across the... more

We stayed at the Westin and it was beautiful. The people from the time we checked in on the island were awesome. The people in the Marketplace were warm, friendly and went out of their way to help us. We ate at the International Sports Bar, George's, The Fat Nephew, The Greek rest. in the Marketplace and The Stoned Crab... more
