An elaborate menu of recreational amenities isn't necessarily on the agenda for every traveler. While some vacationers prefer a resort with many different activities available, others can be happy with one or two active recreational options, or they simply want a relaxing place to stay. Even though it doesn't offer an extensive array of recreational offerings the Island Palm Resort may still have exactly what you're looking for.
Golf
Although a golf course isn't one of the amenities, if golf is on your list of things to do, the hotel can help arrange for you to play golf at a local course. The nearest golf course to the Island Palm Resort is Bahamas Princess, Ruby Course, located 5.6 miles west of the hotel. This is a par 72, with a total length of 6,884 yards. The greens fees for use of the course are as follows: Resort guests: $60 for 18 holes with cart; Nonguests: $65 for 18 holes with cart. For more details, you can reach the course at 242-352-6721.
Tennis
There aren't any tennis courts at this hotel, so if tennis is important to you, this may not be the ideal hotel. This generally isn't a big deal to most guests, who find plenty of other activities to entertain them during their stay.
If you're a tennis enthusiast you may want to compare this hotel to some others that have tennis courts â particularly those with high ratings for tennis. Two other hotels that may be worth considering are Sheraton at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort and Xanadu Beach Resort & Marina.
Entertainment and Nightlife
Tourists who're looking for a vacation experience jam-packed with live entertainment and nightlife won't find it at this hotel. Sadly, the neighborhood around this hotel is quiet, and live entertainment isn't offered by the hotel. Needless to say, if that isn't a fatal flaw the Island Palm Resort may be just right. The hotel has a bar, but your other on-site options are limited. Some nearby hotels that offer a bit of nightlife are listed in the following chart:

Family Activities
You are free to bring your kids to the Island Palm Resort, but you should bear in mind that this hotel doesn't provide many kid-focused amenities. Since there aren't very many kids' amenities at the hotel, guests who will be bringing children along should evaluate whether their needs will be met and compare it to some other hotels, before making a final selection.

Water and Fitness
Since there is a hotel pool, vacationers will have the chance to cool off while spending time in the sun. While sipping ice cold beverages by the hotel pool could be the perfect way to relax on your vacation, you might also enjoy a few refreshing laps before breakfast.
Watersports
Although watersports aren't available at this hotel, you can visit one of the vendors situated on the shores of the Bahamas. Just place a few phone calls, and you can arrange with one of these local providers to participate in a watersport.
Other Recreation
There is no lack of interesting things to see and do in the Bahamas, so you don't have to feel limited to the particular activities the hotel offers on-site. From a lazy afternoon relaxing on the beach, to a few hours exploring a local market the choice is up to you.
