Getting there: There is no regular shuttle service from the airport so the best way to reach the hotel is by taxi. Fare is $26–$35 USD for the first 2 passengers and $3 USD for each additional person. Rental cars, Town Cars, and limousines are more than $36 USD. Rental cars are available online.
Shuttle vans or private cars of varying prices are available. They can be selected during the process of booking an air-inclusive reservation for this hotel, via this Web site, and added to the total trip cost.
Getting around: Paradise Island lacks public transportation so the easiest way to get around is on foot. Scooters are also popular ways to tour and can be rented on the beach for more than $36 USD. Water taxis are a popular way to cross from Paradise Island to Nassau. Water taxis leave from the new bridge for return fares of $5–$15 USD. Once on the Nassau side, local buses called jitneys provide a way around for fares of less than $5 USD. Water taxis and jitneys stop running at dusk. Driving British-style (on the left) along narrow streets and through roundabouts is daunting for most visitors so if going longer distances, taxis are best. Island-hopping is possible through Bahamas Ferries which runs catamarans to out islands including Eleuthera and Harbour Island from Potter’s Cay between the old and new Paradise Island bridges. Or visitors can travel as the locals do, on mailboats which leave for the out islands from Potter’s Cay or Prince George Wharf, but passage can run on “Bahamas time” (slowly) and cargo can include livestock. Return fares for both ferries and mailboats are more than $36 USD.
