The Old Bahama Bay is a grand collection of oceanfront suites skirting an exclusive private marina on Grand Bahama Island. Popular with sports fishermen, it features all the luxury amenities you'd expect from a top-class hotel, including a private beach. Grand Bahama is the fourth largest island in the Bahamas chain, and is closest to the USA at just 64 miles from the Florida coast. Venturing away from Old Bahama Bay, Freeport is the place to go on shopping excursions or you can learn about the island's rum-running history, particularly during prohibition in the USA, at closer-by West End.

The facilities

Among the facilities is a two level pool around which you can relax and grab a bite to eat or enjoy a cocktail from the Straw Bar. The biggest facility is not necessarily so private - it's the Atlantic Ocean, in which you can enjoy a wealth of professionally-supervised activities such as fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. The Bahamaian seafood at Bonefish Folley's Bar and Grill and the a la carte cuisine of the Aqua restaurant will have mouths watering.

The rooms

The Old Bahama Bay's 73 suites are perfect for families or couples and whether you want to while away hours on the beach or spend the day snorkeling, you'll be happy to get home. Colonial plantation-style furniture and woven-paddle ceiling fans wink at the past but there is climate control and amenities such as TVs with DVD players, wireless internet and washer/dryers. Each suite also has its own kitchen.
