Spring Break week is generally known for college students and wild parties but it can also be a good time to relax as it's generally the first warm stretch after the long cold winter.  There are several resorts on Grand Bahamas Island that don't cater to the Spring Break crowd.  These upscale resorts are truly a tropical paradise with palm lined beaches, crystal clear blue waters and elegant accommodations. 

The Grand Lucayan is a stunning resort furnished in traditional Bahamian charm. Views from the rooms and suites vary from ocean, garden or marina allowing guests to choose their preference or accommodate their budget.  The Grand Lucayan offers 7 acres of spectacular beach front property, allowing guests to walk directly from their rooms into the beautiful pristine beaches of the Caribbean ocean. For guests preferring to sit pool side, there are 4 pools to choose from each with its own adjoining hot tub.

The Grand Lucayan also offers guests 4 tennis courts;  one made with clay, grass, rubber and hard deco all the surfaces used in the gram slam playing surfaces;  2 championship golf courses, jogging paths, basketball, volleyball, a fitness center and a world-class spa.  Although this resort doesn't offer an all-inclusive vacation package, there are 7 restaurants at the Grand Lucayan resort, offering guests a variety of gourmet dining options and during your stay.   Clearly, this is not a Spring Break destination.  Guests staying here any time of year will find a wonderful and relaxing vacation full of Caribbean charm and elegance. 

Old Bahama Bay Resort is another resort that clearly doesn't cater to the Spring Break crowd. This is the most upscale resort on Grand Bahamas Island, catering to couples and families alike. This out of the way resort offers Bahamian charm combined with luxury.  Old Bahama Bay is an all-suite beachfront resort that offers guests an "out-island" remote feel with the convenience of a major destination close to the U.S. coast.  This resort offers a 4,000 ft, swimming pool with an infinity edge and lounging area with massaging jets that's simply exquisite for overlooking the magnificent beach.  This is surely a resort for travelers interested in luxury travel who want to be pampered during their vacation.  Travelers can be rest assured there will be no Spring Breakers at this wonderful resort location.

The Grand Bahamas Island offers many things to do beyond sand and beach activities, there's the Garden of the Groves, which is a nature park that is home to many species of birds, butterflies and plants indigenous to the island. This natural park is an enjoyable family activity that can be fun and relaxing.

Inside the Lucayan National Park there are underwater caves which can be explored.  These underwater caves can be accessed via stairs that have been installed inside the caves for visitors to come marvel at this natural wonder and beauty.  Occasionally, you might see a certified diver exploring these underwater caves, but since they are very treacherous to navigate underwater, divers are required to get a license and permission from the National Park. Once inside the Our Lucayan National Park, you can walk the path to the beautiful Gold Rock Beach and enjoy the view and the seclusion.  Along this beautiful path there are views of the mangrove; it's very peaceful and quiet tranquility of nature to be had at the Our Lucayan National Park.

For travelers who like to shop, there are shops located at the Port Lucaya Marketplace where you can buy art and crafts created by local artists.  There are also plenty of restaurants and bars with great views of the marina.

The Grand Bahamas Island is a wonderful island to enjoy your spring vacation whether it is to soak up the rays and enjoy an iced cold island beverage by the pool or enjoying the perfect weather and have some adventurers in the sun.
