The islands use the Eastern time zone. American dollars are accepted everywhere on the islands at par with
Bahamian dollars. Other currencies can be exchanged easily at any bank. Nassau is the capital of The Bahamas and is located on New Providence Island. Paradise Island lies along the northeast coast of New Providence, across the bridge from Nassau.

The Sheraton Grand Resort is a 25-minute cab ride from Nassau International Airport. You never knew Paradise was so close.

DESCRIPTION: Nestled along a 3-mile stretch of Paradise Island's white sand beach, the Sheraton Grand Resort is just two miles from downtown Nassau and a five-minute walk from the Atlantis Casino and duty-free shopping. Enjoy breathtaking ocean views from your own private balcony, offered in every guest room.

Sample our unsurpassed award-winning restaurants, offering a wide variety of culinary options. Or relax at one of our three bars and sip tropical libations. Enjoy the great outdoors with our one-of-a-kind recreational facilities - from the tennis and fitness center, to nearby championship golf, to virtually every water sport. Our meeting space includes a beautiful 7,000 square foot ballroom, plus breakout rooms and boardroom with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop.

ACCOMMODATION: Our recent renovation has turned every guest room into a little piece of Paradise. And every accommodation has a guaranteed ocean-view and private balcony. Each room includes a fully-stocked mini-bar, hairdryer, iron and full-size ironing board, in-room safe, coffeemaker, and direct-dial phone with voicemail and data port.

Our suites are so spacious and beautifully furnished, you may never want to go home. Every room is furnished in the casual elegant style that reflects the distinctive charm of The Bahamas. All 340 of our guest rooms include a balcony with a splendid view of our magnificent beach.

DINING: If we had to list the things about the Sheraton Grand Resort that make us proudest, our international award-winning cuisine would be near the top. In fact, you could call it "Paradise" for the food alone.

The Rotisserie offers casually elegant dining with ocean views, and its own Floyd's Bar, a lovely spot for an evening cocktail.

In a fun, lively atmosphere, Julie's Ristorante Italiano serves the best Italian food in the tropics.

Have lunch and a favorite beverage poolside with live entertainment at The Sundeck Bar & Grille.

Whether you prefer a sumptuous breakfast buffet or ordering from a full a la carte menu, there's no better place to begin a perfect day in Paradise than The Verandah.

Located right on the beach, The Sandbar features island specialty drinks like our own Junkanoo Joy Juice. Relax and drink, meet and talk, see and be seen at the beautiful Plumes Lobby Lounge, the natural hub of our lobby activity. >> MORE INFORMATION
