Some of the best business hotels in all of the Caribbean are found here. We’ve put together a list of the best resorts for conferences and groups in the Bahamas.

Overlooking the port of Nassau, this is the only beachfront hotel in the downtown area, putting you in the heart of the action. Geared more to the business traveler who prefers to stay plugged in, this 13,500-square-foot hotel offers all the modern amenities in an island setting. Book the accommodation that suits your preferences with rooms, suites and executive rooms with features like flat-screen TVs, balconies and whirlpools. Opt for in-room dining or eat along the harbor at Patio Bar & Grill or indoors at Aqua. There’s even a Brews ‘N’ Bites café serving Starbucks coffee and other treats.
If you’re interested in fishing, snorkeling or sailing, you can book it right from the resort. Or, head out for a day of duty-free shopping at the port, or lounge at the hotel’s beach or freshwater swimming pool, then retreat to your suite overlooking the island, city or harbor. One thing’s for sure of your stay here, you’ll have plenty to explore between the historic downtown district, straw market and area museums.
