The iconic Baha Mar resort also has five restaurants, including one by Daniel Boulud.

Here, my full review ofRosewood Baha Marin the Bahamas.

Costa offers refined Mexican dishes in plantation-style cabanas set over a koi pond and surrounded by palm trees.

The most casual is Tingum on the Sand, a cafe for traditional Bahamian breakfast and lunch.

The squiggly-shaped lagoon pool is closer to the sea and invites more kid- and family-friendly play.

Then theres Cable Beach, famous for its soft white sand.

Day beds and cabanas can be reserved for an additional cost.
