Step off the plane in the cultural center of the Bahamas, and you’re setting foot onto a network of streets, markets, and storefronts bursting with energy and history. A rich mélange of pirate lore, colonial history and island charm spills from these streets, rushing out to the ring of sweet, white sand beaches and clear teal waters that subtend this island paradise. Pith-helmeted law enforcement on horseback proudly watch over the frenetic bustle in market squares, and taxis and motorcycles roar down Bay Street to the Paradise Island causeway. The olfactory of authentic Bahamian dishes waft from cracked kitchen windows into the streets; passers-by on a horse and carriage tour long to stop for a taste. From the downtown markets and shops to the tropical gardens and bays on Nassau’s perimeter, this exciting city is a duty-free shopper’s paradise and a vacationer’s dream, and there is no better way to enjoy it from a more comfortable and luxurious resort than the Radisson Cable Beach Resort: minutes from the airport and all the city’s major attractions, and steps from the island’s best beach and the world-class Cable Beach Golf Course. Recent renovations have only made the experience more enjoyable; a stay at the Radisson Cable Beach puts guests far from the stresses and pace of the weekday world, but close enough to the excitement and energy of this exotic island city. 

With no idea what the next day may bring, it’s nice to have a comfortable retreat for peace and privacy. The 700 spacious guest rooms at the Radisson Cable Beach all feature private balconies overlooking either the property’s lush and colourful gardens or the vast stretch of ocean beyond. Suites are equipped with all the modern amenities necessary for both casual guests and business clients, while the latter may be best accommodated in one of a few dozen VIP suites that allows for private meeting space. 18 Junior Suites offer more than 550 square feet of living space, while the International and Presidential Suites are 1,600 square-foot, two-bedroom accommodations with an extended corner balcony view. Parlor seating here is perfect for important business meetings, as well as informal gatherings.

The variety and culture of hotel and island come together in the Radisson selection of six distinct restaurants, each a testament to a particular cultural component of Caribbean cuisine. Islands is a great starting point for the exciting culinary journey, where conch fritters, grouper, jerk chicken and frozen drinks are the most popular fare in this casual eatery. Avocados offers a similar southeast, seafood-based menu tinged with tropical flair in a more upscale atmosphere. Seafood crepes, encrusted fish dishes and a fine selection of international wines and spirits make it the perfect restaurant for special occasions and more discerning palates. Amici offers the familiarity of sumptuous Italian fare, where pastas and risottos in an elegant and elaborately adorned indoor-outdoor garden atmosphere. The Forge is Cable Beach’s great American steakhouse in the Bahamas, and The Bimini Market Grill is perfect for a large and diverse group, offer an international spread buffet-style, with more than enough selection for everyone. Also, a quick bite can always be had poolside at the Dolphin Beach Grill.

With such a vast spread of culinary options, it comes as no surprise that the Radisson specializes in accommodating larger groups. Meeting facilities here are the best to be found anywhere, whether your group is ten people or more than 1,000, and the special conference staff division can customize your trip down to the most minute detail, including tee times, meeting themes, and the menu for dinner in the 12,500 square-foot Independence Ballroom. For a more casual approach, have the team organize a special Beach Olympics, taking advantage of the fabulous beachfront and extensive recreation facilities available at the Radisson Cable Beach. Beach volleyball, racquetball, squash, and tennis courts, and a full spread of aquatic activities, in addition to the modern gym and fitness facilities, ensures that all guests will find something to do to pass the time during the day. And when the sun goes down, nightly entertainment in the Goombay Lounge sets the stage for dancing and karaoke into the wee hours, while a casino adjacent to the resort offers a different kind of thrill. From the streets and markets of Nassau to the close of the curtains at the Goombay Lounge, the Radisson Cable Beach puts you at the center of attention, with this island paradise at your fingertips.
