Picolo recommends · Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas
Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
Towers above Cable Beach, more pools than you will use in a week and the Baha Bay water park just across the path.
From the upper floors you look down on a patchwork of pools and the long line of Cable Beach. No hotel at Baha Mar is bigger, and this one is built for people who like to have options.
The casino sits beside the towers, Baha Bay is next door, and dinner can be somewhere different every night of a week. It feels more like a small town than a hotel.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
We chose it for choice. Families, groups and anyone who gets restless on a sun lounger will find something to do at every hour, and you never need a taxi to find it.
Size has a cost. In high season there are queues at reception and at the popular restaurants, and the pools fill early. Couples looking for quiet should look at the Rosewood instead.
What you get

- Water park Baha Bay next door
