Wyndham Resort or Atlantis

[KAR3600]

I have been to Atlantis, but would like to try something new (not much luck at the casino)...Has anyone gone to Wyndam Resort?. How long does it take to get there from the port? What was the cab fare? Was it nicer than Atlantis? Thanks!

We actually stayed at the Wyndham for 10 nights this April for spring break.
The beach is nothing spectacular, there are beach chairs available at no cost.
The pool was very COLD. Every day we had hoped the sun would warm it up.
The pool is the same depth- 4 ft all over. There is a pool bar/restaurant, the food is very pricey - $50+ for lunch for 2 adults 1 child and the food was not yummy. The cocktails were approx $9 each. The pool really does not have a swim-up bar - it looks as though they had one at one time but there aren't any stools/available bartender to have drinks served in the pool.
I would recommend going to the Radisson next door to the Wyndham for lunch and drinks. Unfortunately you cannot use the pool or beach at the Radisson, they have staff walking around checking to see if you are a guest.
We were very disappointed with Wyndham.
To get there from the port, the cheapest way is to take the #10 bus (jitney) located in front of the Haggen Daz store in downtown Nassau. The price is $1 each way per person. depending on traffic it takes approx 15 minutes to get to the Wyndham.
If you are looking for a beach outing, I would highly recommend Blue Lagoon Island. You can go there without doing the dolphin encounters (though they are the best htat we have experinced so far). It is a beautiful beach and they have areas to purchase food & drinks.
Atlantis is nice (we went there too) but very pricey - I would not do it again.
