My husband and I enjoyed staying at the Radisson Cable Beach & Golf Resort. Our experience was truly enjoyable. The rooms were clean, quiet and stocked with necessities. The beach was well maintained daily, the staff was friendly and funny :O).
And the island food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back.

We just got back from our wedding trip which we held the reception at the Sheraton and where most of our guests stayed. We had worked with a wedding planner to get a good group room rate and we were please with the rates. This is not the states so any resort room anywhere on the island are going to be $170+. Check out Atlantis prices and you will know what I’m talking about. The only thing with the room rates is that they will add on a resort fee of $15 per person per day! And a onetime bellman fee of around $5. Plus all the typical taxes. A lot of people get upset by this. Its just how they work. So that means let the bellman take your luggage to your room and you don’t have to tip him. you will be charged if you use him or not. We thought the Sheraton is in a great location. With the Wyndham next door and the casino in the middle, it had enough going on for us. Some of our group rented cars so that helped get to further away restaurants and the grocery store. Many of our guests took the #10 bus downtown during the day since the bus stops running at 7pm. Only $1.25. If you stay out later, you’d have to get a taxi back. The driving was tricky, not many signs but I’ve you’ve driven any in Europe, you’ll be ok driving here. The rental cars are small but it helped to be able to take our guests to and from the airport and save them the taxi ride.
Our rooms were very nice. Most have the same décor you just pay for a different view. The oceanview rooms give you a direct, straight on view of the water and you will be higher in the building. A deluxe will give you a view from a little angle or it might be on a lower floor. I also think the balcony on the deluxe is a little smaller. If you get a resort view, you might have a small view but I think your main view will look towards the Wyndham or the condo complex next door. still not bad views if you plan to be out of your room a lot. Many of our guests were able to get their rooms on higher floors when they checked in since the resort was not full. We felt the Sheraton was big enough to have so many amenities but also small enough that our guests saw each other numerous times in passing over the weekend. It was a great place to stay for a long weekend but you might want more going on if you stay a lot longer. We were looking for a low key beach place but also modern and updated and we are pleased with our decision to stay at the Sheraton.
We had our rehearsal dinner at Amici’s. Everyone said how good it was. Now you have to get over sticker shock and order what you want. Don’t go for the lowest priced item if you want good food. Expect to pay $30 per person. Again, check out Atlantis is you think this is high.
Other restaurants we recommend: Capriccio’s – Italian restaurant just down the street within walking distance. The Poop Deck – google it. We did try Twin Brothers Fish Fry. Everything was fried. Very heavy food. Head and tail left on the fish. We liked the strawberry daiquiris the best. The one place I recommended to everyone was the Starbucks within the Casino if you are looking for a quick, cheap bit to eat. We got breakfast bagel, egg, cheese & bacon sandwiches for $5. They also have some sandwiches and salads for lunch for $5-7. Pizza is another cheap food to find. There is a deli in the casino which sells pizza by the slice for $3. There is also a group of shops down the street with a burger king, dominions, Chinese takeout and subway. Most food with meat is expensive on the island since it’s most likely shipped from the US. Subway subs are more expensive. Pizza is not since it doesn’t have a lot of meat on it. Our other great tip is to bring some snacks with you especially if you have kids. Snacks will add up quickly and we were so happy to get a granola bar or a 100 cal snack pack. We also got some stuff at the grocery store. things there are very expensive compared to what we pay for them at home but again, it was help to have the snacks.
When you check out, look over your bill to see if there is anything you didn’t buy listed on your bill. The staff is very nice about taking it off. If you start charging food and drinks to your room, keep track of it so you don’t get over charged. Mistakes happen but they are very nice about fixing them.
We had planned for months over email and phone with our wedding planner but when we arrived, we had a new one. The new girls was so new she wasn’t aware of what she was providing for our wedding. It was very scary but it all turned out ok in the end. We met with her a couples times to go over details. It was upsetting to me to have to do this because it was taking time away from my vacation and being with my guests. They had surprised us by picking us up from the airport in a limo. There was also a cheese/fruit tray waiting for us in our room. We were upgraded to a jr. suite which was nice to have the extra space to get ready in.
People in the Bahamas work at a slower pace than we are used to in the states. Keep that in mind when you visit. After all, you are on vacation!

Beaches are beautiful. Nice oceanview room. Hotel is very expensive. $18/per person resort fee DAILY as well as a $6/per person bellman which we never received is added to your bill. Standard 15% gratuity added to everything. Hotel is nice and clean, free internet is about all that is free. Entrees at the mediocre restaurants run at least $17+. Most are in the $30s and ok tasting. 6pack of soda is $6.50, drinks are $8+. Pint of ice cream was $9+, sandwiches are $14. Location is a bit off the beaten path from downtown and Atlantis. We saw no signs of evening entertainment/music. It was strange. Our flatscreen TV was fuzzy the entire time and the WIFI didn't work in the rooms. Service at front desk was so-so. Quite slow and not overly eager to help. We took an excursion to the Exuma Islands. Was awesome and highly recommend. bahamas is beautiful but would not recommend the Sheraton for ridiculous prices, below average service and less desirable location. Advertise 3miles of beaches. Hmm. not sure how they derived that. Try the Hilton.

We spent 8 nights at the Sheraton and I got to say it was a pretty good stay. I've never stayed in a Sheraton Beach resort, more accustomed to Sheraton for business so I didn't expect the same type of services. On Cable Beach, this is one of the very few hotel, not to say the only one, that had a both a great beach and pools so much so that the staff had to "chase away" guests from nearby hotels that came. There were many pools but it didn't give an impression of huge resort as they were hidden in a well maintained garden that is also apparantly very popular for weddings. I strongly recommend to take a room with ocean view on the high floors; excellent !!
The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, flat screen, internet was free in the room and we had a balcony. There's no mini-bar in the room. Wi-fi is available in the lobby area and they even put 4 PC's at your diposal to surf.
The services at the hotel were ok, not perfect but always very friendly and even gave me a late check out : a bit slow at breakfast but the buffet was great, lots of choices; the Dolphin Grill was ok and Amici was good food but not fantastic.... Outside of the hotel, you walk 15' and you have the City Market (mini Wal Mart), restaurant Indigo and Cafe Milano that makes great pizzas. For those that do not take the buffet breakfast, they have a sort of Starbucks just down the lobby.
As for prices, whether at Sheraton or anywhere else in Nassau and the islands...let's face it, you're in The Bahamas, everything is so EXPENSIVE !!!
To go downtown, you can catch the jittery right at the foot fo the hotel, cost 1.25usd to get to town (15'), it runs from 6am to 7pm (after, cab to cable beach cost 15usd).
During my 8 days, I compared with the other hotels around and I came to the conclusion that I had made the best choice of the hotels on Cable Beach, i will definitely go back to the Sheraton for my next stay !!!
