Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino

The Wyndham Nassau Resort and Crystal Palace Casino appears to flow from a rainbow. Its dramatic saffron, fuchsia, turquoise, and emerald towers rise invitingly above the powder-while sands and brilliant blue waters of beautiful Cable Beach. It is visible from almost anywhere on New Providence, home to Nassau, The Bahamas' capital and most exciting city, just minutes away.

Evening activities are abound in one of the Caribbean's largest casinos. The resort has its own Rainforest Theatre with varied entertainment. Rainforest Adventure Golf is available on the ocean side, offering excitement and challenges for all. There is also a kid's club.

At Wyndham Nassau, you can enjoy the charm of the tropics, along with the superior service and style Wyndham is renowned for. Special touches include a private swimming lagoon, expansive pool with a 200-foot spiral water slide and waterfall--for kids of all ages--and myriad atriums, aviaries, skydomes and shell-colored hallways offering fascinating views. The resort has its own straw market, shops and boutiques, containing specialty clothing, souvenirs, and other fine goods.

A spirit of "Caribe" pervades at Wyndham, from the spectacular musical extravaganza at the Rain Forest Theatre at the Crystal Palace Casino to the spirit of play that infects all who are children at heart. There are a dozen ways to indulge your sporting nature during the day and even more after the sun goes down. A full watersports program offers deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and sailing. You can have a massage in the morning, have a round of golf or a match of tennis at the Cable Beach Sports Center, play ping pong, race a hermit crab, take a quick lunch, and do a shopping or city tour, all before hitting the beach, the bar, or the cabaret. Variety adds to the spice of everything at Wyndham Nassau, which houses eight specialty restaurants. Four exceptional lounges including the Lobby Bar, under a skylit rotunda in the front lobby of the Palace Tower, and the newly created bar at Goombay Mama's, the Stage Lounge overlooks the casino, but the Casino Bar puts you right in the middle of all the action.

Families will welcome the Wyndham Kids Club, which features daily activities: a sitting service, including tuck-in, milk and cookies, a bedtime story, and a complimentary photo. With their offspring carefully supervised, parents have the freedom to enjoy their own pursuits.

Of course, the quiet but intense satisfaction that comes from a lazy day spent on the Wyndham's white sand beaches is also hard to beat. The rhythm of the waves, the soothing Bahamian sunshine, and the dazzling warm sand are addictive--in the private lagoon or on Crystal Cay, Wyndham Nassau's private island.
