In January 2009 there were 287 hotels operating within the islands of the Bahamas with 63 for the single island of New Providence, including Nassau, the capital wealth of choice for those wishing to relax or have fun for a few days on the island probably the most fun and most lively of the Bahamas. It remains to determine the desired category, budget, and location: the heart of a water park and children's activities? Choose one of the huge complex of hotels of Atlantis (I'll speak to you soon). If you prefer privacy, the chic and casual, so I recommend the famous Marley Resort ...
Launched with great reinforcements of press releases around the world June 16, 2008, is a hotel of a reasonable size on an island such as New Providence, where landmarks abound of major international networks: 16 suites only, but all decorated differently to make it a unique retreat where you might relax by watching flat screen TV, or enjoying the comfortable sofas for reading or listening to music on a sophisticated facilities. Because at the Marley Resort, music is everywhere ...
Meet the family of Bob Marley at Resort?
It is very unlikely. If the place was a few decades ago, the holiday home of the entire Marley family (the singer has admitted 12 children), it is rumored that Rita Marley - Bob's widow and the inspiration for the transformation of the house resort - would spend more than a few days per year in the Bahamas, and the difference in the world. Stephanie Marley, one of their daughters, has contributed to improvements and decoration of rooms, very successful.
Why are you coming to the Marley Resort?
For dinner there one evening, ambience at once romantic, almost nostalgic emerges from the walls, to the elegance and music, for its refined its menu (and sunny). You will find photos and gold records on the walls of a small museum near the restaurant, and maybe you'll try a body treatment in one of the cabins (small) spa.
You will come for the comfort of their rooms and unique decor that will transport you between Jamaica and Africa, with dark wood and animal skins, with music accessories, or a Jacuzzi located in the center of a room. The furniture chosen, you will feel right at home: thick wooden boxes, raised beds and large, deep sofas, ... You will come also to avoid the hyperbole of other luxury hotels in Nassau, by no standard, Everything is personalized and small-scale. You will not feel lost, you are "invited" ...
What is the strength of the Marley Resort?
Although not necessarily a fan of reggae man, one can not remain indifferent to his music and the Caribbean islands you let go spontaneously over the melodies, you quickly waving hips after discovering your room or entering the restaurant. Everywhere, but quietly, echoing the songs of Bob agreements. You choose your room according to its name from the headlines of the Artist: Legend, One Love (my favorite room!), Three Little Birds, ...
But perhaps this is the smile and good mood prevailing here that make me come back to the Marley Resort. If the pool seems too small for the standard desired by the owner, is the general atmosphere that attracts and retains the visitor. Here, you are given a privileged guest without obsequiousness, you feel among friends, but with elegance. The staff has much to do, and as decoration. Bob Marley is gone but his legend continues ...
I liked: the personalized decoration of each room, fine food, fun but classy atmosphere, smiling and cheerful staff.
I least liked the small size of the two pools (side by side, facing the sea), the bathrooms in the decoration a little cold, the Spa where one feels cramped even though the decor is pleasant.
