Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas

When I first read that Our Lucaya Golf & Beach Resort had all four Grand Slam surfaces, I was skeptical. This is not, after all, Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resorta vast tennis complex like Florida's Saddlebrook, where touring pros come to train and need access to the same surfaces they'll face in tournament competition. Our Lucaya only has four courts altogether, and a clientele that consists mainly of beach lovers and convention groups, so it seemed unconscionable to me that the resort would put in a single instance each of grass, French red clay, Decoturf and the former Australian Open surface Rebound Ace. And yet, that is precisely what they have done, laying them out in a staggered line immediately behind the 740-room Radisson Our Lucaya Resor, one of two hotels—the other a 478-room Reef Village—at this 372-acre Grand Bahama Island beach resort.

Overview

As a guest of either the Westin or Sheraton you have access to the courts and some limited programs, including private lessons and a couple of junior programs each week. Court fees are steep: $25/hour on Decoturf, $35/hour on Rebound Ace, $50/hour on red clay, and $100/hour on grass.

The focal point of the resort is naturally its beach, a ribbon of soft white sand, occasionally interrupted by piles of boulders, bordered by turquoise waters and coral reef. Both hotels sit far enough back from the beach to allow space for swimming pools and several oceanfront bars and restaurants, China Beach, the Prop Club, and Sugar Mill among them.

Otherwise, the resort holds an extensive array of other diversions, including two 18-hole golf courses and a golf school, a well-equipped fitness center, a spa, a casino, and a complimentary children's program dubbed Camp Lucaya. Across from the hotels is a marina and the Port Lucaya Marketplace, a collection of Bahamian-inspired cottages in pastel blue, lemon yellow, pink, white and turquoise that comprise a village of shops and restaurants around a plaza where there is evening live entertainment.

The Radisson (formerly Westin) is the newer of the two hotels, and its rooms have generous balconies with beach or island/marina views. Reef Village has a lower architectural profile is slated for refurbishing this summer. Between them they have some 15 restaurants, bars, cafes, and snack bars. Both have several swimming pools, among them a rimless beachfront pool at the Westin and a Sugar Mill Pool with tower water slide and waterfalls at Reef Village.
