PLEASE NOTE: THE RESORT IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
What may be the best-kept secret in the Bahamas is Blue Water Resort on sunny Cable Beach in the Nassau suburbs. Located where the crystal white sands meet the island’s pool-blue surf, Blue Water Resort is the tropical escape you’ve been looking for.
Relax in your spacious villa and fix dinner in your completely appointed kitchen. There’s plenty of room for company because the three-bedroom ocean and garden villas sleep six to eight. Rent a DVD and unwind in the large, airy living room or step outside and enjoy the warm, soothing island breezes and the sounds of the unending waves on the shore.
For some serious fun in the tropical sun, hit the onsite tennis courts or jump into the beautiful pool for some ocean-side laps. Once your heart is pumping, treat yourself to the excitement of the nearby casino, go deep-sea fishing or put on your snorkel and fins and meet the neighboring wildlife.
There’s much to see and do in Nassau. Take a horse-drawn surrey tour of Nassau’s quaint downtown, including the flamingo-pink buildings of Parliament Square, which date from 1815. Do some duty-free shopping for perfume, leather, crystal or jewelry, or bargain for delightful native crafts at Festival Place.

Bluegreen Odyssey Dells* is located right next door to Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park®, the largest of its kind in the Dells. Mt. Olympus features both indoor and outdoor parks with over 37 waterslides, 9 go-kart tracks, 7 roller coasters, 10 kiddie rides, 3 lazy rivers, 2 wave pools, whirlpools and more!
Wisconsin Dells may be the Waterpark Capital of the World, but there's much more to see and do here.

And you don’t even have to wait for the snow to melt to enjoy the Dells’ many waterparks because many of them are indoors!
After the weather warms up, you can play as many rounds of golf as you’d like, speed down the Wisconsin River in a jet boat, or seek adventure in parasailing, hiking, rock climbing and other outdoor activities.
When it’s time to relax, sit back and sip wine at the Wollersheim Winery, take a leisurely scenic boat tour of the Dells or wade into the river and try your hand at trout fishing. Whatever season or pace you choose, the Dells will never disappoint.
