Your choices are the Freeport area (near the Bahamia Casino and the International Bazaar) or Lucaya (closer to the beach).
Remember: In most cases, a resort levy of 8% and a 15% service charge will be added to your final bill. Be prepared, and ask if it's already included in the initial price you're quoted.
Especially Fun Places for Kids
The Westin & Sheraton at Our Lucaya resorts -- Camp Lucaya (also known as the Westin Children's Camp) is the best-run, most-amenities-packed children's camp in The Bahamas, a full-service child-minding facility available for infants to 12-year-olds. The camp is open only to children of guests at either the Sheraton or the Westin at Our Lucaya. Open daily year-round from 9am to 5pm, it includes a supervised children's pool and classes about Bahamian culture (politics, arts, ecosystems, and crafts). A day's involvement might include learning native dances, creating island-inspired arts and crafts, coconut bowling, or exploring a garden whose access is reserved just for kids. The Marine Explorer's Club, co-sponsored with the Underwater Explorer's Society (UNEXSO), offers ocean and marine experiences to youngsters, including an opportunity to go nose-to-nose with dolphins. For infants aged 2 and under, the staff imposes a 2-hour time limit for babysitting services. Children aged 3 to 12, however, can remain within the camp premises throughout the day, without charge, though supervisors advise parents to check on their children periodically, just to see that their vacation is progressing smoothly.
Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach -- This all-inclusive beachfront hotel, a 10-minute drive east of Port Lucaya (but still the most easterly resort on Grand Bahama Island), maintains its Kids Club exclusively for children aged 2 to 11. It provides sports, games, and lessons throughout the day, under the supervision of trained staff members who know when to get parents involved and when to let them slip away for pursuits of their own.
