Paradise Island Beach Club

Frommer's Review

This two- and three-story timeshare complex is set near the eastern tip of Paradise Island, adjacent to a relatively isolated strip of spectacular beachfront. Managed by Marriott, it's more of a self-catering condo complex than a full-fledged resort. Many guests cook at least some meals in their own kitchens and head elsewhere, often to bigger hotels, for restaurants, watersports, gambling, and entertainment. Views from the bedrooms are usually ocean panoramas; overall, the setting is comfortable and, at its best, even cozy. You'll feel like you have your own Florida apartment, with easy access to the beach. Accommodations have two bedrooms (a maximum of six persons), with wicker and rattan furnishings, and nice touches that include double basins in each bathroom, plus a tub and shower.

On the premises are both a round and a triangular swimming pool, one with a simple snack bar that's open only at lunchtime, except on Monday and Wednesday, when there's a Bahamian buffet. The entertainment and casino facilities of the more densely developed sections of Paradise Island are just a short walk away. The major drawback here is the service, which is very laissez-faire.

Facilities:
