The 519-room Grand Lucayan is a sprawling, beachfront resort for travelers craving features galore in one spot. This four-pearl establishment is a 15-minute drive from the airport, and across the road from Port Lucaya Marketplace. On-site dining and drinking include a dozen restaurants, cafes, and bars. There’s a state-of the-art spa and fitness center, a huge (albeit unheated) serpentine pool, golf course, tennis courts, water sports, and large-scale event spaces. Modern, island-inspired guest rooms and suites come in a choice of decor options -- all with balconies or patios, and water or garden views. But hefty add-on fees and long service waits are a drawback, as are “all-inclusive” rooms that aren’t all-inclusive. Those seeking a smaller-scale luxury stay could check out the nearby Pelican Bay at Lucaya.

Features
Packed with features such as multiple pools, sandy beach, water sports, and many restaurants
Leisure amenities at the Grand Lucayan are vast and centered on a white-sand beach. But the serpentine pool and a heated lap pool give mother nature a little competition. Loungers border the pool in abundance, although there clearly aren’t enough as they can fill up leaving some guests without a spot to stretch out. There are some sun umbrellas, but not many, so finding shade can be difficult, and beach cabanas are available (for a fee). Other star features include an 18-hole golf course and four
Grand Slam-surfaced tennis courts. (Golf and tennis lessons can be arranged.) Watersports on offer include windsurfing, sailing, Jet Skiing, snorkelling, water
