Tip 1. Food at the hotel itself is ok. Breakfast buffet is great if you are looking for a lot of food. I would recommend going across the street to Port Lucaya for most meals to save some cash. There are a few higher end places to eat that will give you a better meal than some of the hotel food. The food on the resort is kind of expensive. Also, they do not accept cash in most places so you are forced to either charge to the room or use a credit card

Tip 2. Buses to town are inexpensive frequently boarding by the police station near the hotel. Nice local restaurants: Becky's (try the guava duff for dessert) and Geneva's. Had excellent dinner at the hotel Restaurant Iries and Sabor across the street - sunset view was beautiful.

Tip 3. Lucanio's at the Marketplace is great for a nice dinner. Zobra's has great food for all 3 meals reasonably priced. 'Pieces' has the best pizza, better than the states. Also, go to The Stoned Crab at Taino Beach. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Plus drinks are about half the cost of the hotel.

Tip 4. The Marketplace is where to go for cheap drinks and no rowdy people here...very quiet and laid back.

Tip 5. The gym had some up to date equipment and was very clean. And best of all, there was no additional charge to use the gym.

Tip 6. The market across the street has some good restaurants tucked away in the back behind all of the touristy gift shops. Churchill's restaurant on the resort is the best but expect to pay $100-$150 for two adults, including drinks.

Tip 7. Make sure to hit the market across the seat and grab a fresh ''conch salad'' for a snack, from the vendor by the waterfront.

Tip 8. I would recommend spending a day at Paradise Cove for snorkelling. It's a more private beach with a great reef, and lunch is included in the price.

Tip 9. Make reservations at the resorts restaurants for prompted service. Otherwise walk-ins will take some time.

Tip 10. If you want to gamble there is a nice casino on premises and in Port Lucaya area across the street is great. Live music on weekends.

Tip 11. On Friday nights they have live entertainment in the square located in the marketplace.

Tip 12. Best shopping on island is just across the street! I grabbed a fly fishing rod from AdvancedFlyFishing.com (great prices on travel fishing rods that pack small) fished west end on a rainy day very nice bone fishing!
