Old Bahama Bay Resort Activities and Recreation

Activities and Recreation at Old Bahama Bay

 
 
 

A wide variety of recreational activities isn't necessarily required for a great vacation. While some vacationers prefer a resort with a lot of recreational activities available, other hotel guests are perfectly content with very few recreational options, since their top priority is just to relax. While it doesn't offer a very extensive array of extracurricular activities the Old Bahama Bay Resort may have everything you need in a vacation retreat.

Golf

Although the Old Bahama Bay Resort does not have a golf course, 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 closest course to the Old Bahama Bay Resort is Bahamas Princess, Emerald Course, located 15.4 miles southeast of the hotel. The course is 6,679 yards long, and has been rated as a par 72. Greens fees are as follows: Resort guests: $60 for 18 holes with cart; Nonguests: $65 for 18 holes with cart. For more details, call 242-352-6721.

Tennis

Tennis enthusiasts should pay particularly close attention to this hotel. More than likely, you won't have any problems finding an open court, since the hotel has 54 guest rooms and 1 court available. This works out to an average of roughly 130 guests per tennis court, which is favorable compared to other hotels in the region. Guests of the hotel can play evening matches on a lit tennis court. This is an ideal option for those travelers who would rather spend the day soaking up some sun on the beach.

If playing tennis is at the top of your list of activities for your vacation, you may want to compare this hotel to other ones that also offer tennis – particularly those with high ratings for tennis. A couple of other hotels that are worth considering are Sheraton at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort and Xanadu Beach Resort & Marina.

Entertainment and Nightlife

Spend the day in the sun and your evening listening to the sound of a live performance; it's an easy option since live entertainment is offered at the Old Bahama Bay Resort. The live entertainment you'll find may be offered in the bar, or at another location on site. You can generally expect to find live entertainment 4 days a week. However, the frequency can sometimes vary seasonally. Learning more about the nightlife offered by the hotel can be helpful, so you can plan your daily itinerary.
