We stayed at Paradise Harbor Club and Marina from September 24th through October 1st.
The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful right from the time we arrived.
We had a 2 bedroom unit, and it was very roomy, large complete kitchen with full stove with oven. The balcony was spacious and even included a small towel rack for your wet towels from the beach/pool so you don’t have to hang them on the chairs. It was a nice relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by other condo complexes all overlooking the marina side of the island. When we arrived at the airport, we asked the taxi driver to stop at a liquor store for beer and soda. We bought enough to last us a few days. The resort does have a grocery run every Monday, but we did not take advantage of that. We did hear from others at the resort, the grocery store that they take you to is large like one you would find in the United States and that there was a liquor store right across the street. We just went to the Paradise Island Beach Resort to pick up a few things we needed since we like to shop together and figured the $7 each savings ($14 total) from the grocery run would offset the cost of the higher prices on Paradise Island. But, I would suggest that if you plan to cook every meal in your unit, go on the grocery store run.
In the unit the floors were not the cleanest, I wore sandals all the time inside. The pool was very nice, clean, and had tropical setting all around it, and overlooking the marina.

Columbus Tavern is a very friendly open air restaurant, with a large bar on the upper area and the tables around the outer open area overlooking the marina. The Happy Hour is for mixed drinks only, they keep the beer prices at $4 at all times (which is the cheapest we found anywhere). But you always get a complimentary plate of conch fritters during happy hour. I am not a seafood lover, but these were very good!

We walked to the beach a few times and this is where the other resort is to buy some groceries. The beach was very clean and very quiet compared to further down where the Atlantis resort is.

Also a very easy to walk to is Atlantis, we just went into the casino to go to the sports book area and there is also an outdoor mall with many shops and restaurants. There is also another small mall across the street near the bridge where there is a liquor store and a small drug store. Under the bridge closest to the resort there is a small outdoor bar called the Green Parrot, we had great burgers and fried calamari.

We also took a trip to Nassau for an afternoon, it is quite an experience. There was an area along the harbor side with all the vendors selling their wares under various canvas covers, this is a temporary home for the straw market. The downtown area has many nice shops and restaurants where we ate lunch at the Athenian Restaurant. Besides having local type restaurants, there are also many familiar names such as Hard Rock Café, Senior Frogs, and even Burger King, Mc Donald’s, and Subway.

Cab fare from the resort to downtown was $11, but the resort does supply a free shuttle to downtown every day. Also cab fare to/from the resort from the airport was approx. $35.

always traveled to all inclusive, too much to eat, too much to drink crazy,PHC gave me the opportunity to simply relax, i could not beleive there was no loud music or drunk tanned people, instead I found the sound of boats and I could actually listen to the night fall, sounds crazy but true, in no time I found myself deep into a book, jesus I was reading again and falling sleep pool side crazy,when you arrive at the airport tell your driver you want to go shopping before you get to PHC, make sure you know if you have a full kitchen or a microwave in your room, shop light the basic beer and wine to hold you for a couple of days some can goods, chips and water, make sure you get water do not touch the water bottles in your room the cost is over $2.00 per, you will love the staff, you will love the place

My friend, fiance, and sister came to Bahamas to celebrate my sis b-day. We travel a lot so we always look for nice hotels. Well this time we took our travel agent advice because he been before. Hr said the hotel was nice and it was in a good area. Needless to say the hotel value was horrible. The rooms look old, rust was on the towel racks, brown water came from the sink and tub. The beds was hard. Make sure you get a view that face the pool because the islandview is bad all you see is a rust yard. Breakfast was good, dinner and lunch was not. The bar and grill by the pool was the best ever especially the drinks. The services was awesome everybody was polite. Their pool was nice and clean.

My wife, sister, niece, and I stayed here the last week of July, 2011. We had a two-bedroom (kings), two-bath apartment with a full kitchen. It had recently been renovated; the kitchen and all the furniture seemed to be new. The staff were friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the free bicycles on several days. This was handy since we did not rent a car (didn't want to drive on the "wrong" side). Cabbage beach was beautiful, nearly deserted at our end (not so at the Atlantis end), and was an easy walk of maybe ten minutes. The staff arranged for a half-day snorkeling outing and a full-day outing to Rose Island that also included snorkeling. We got to see a lot of things in Nassau on our bicycle excursions. Overall, a very nice week.
