Tavi:
I Agree with the above sites to see,But "The Garden of The Groves" Is closed as we get on island several times thru the year Such a sad loss was a favorite side trip to take newcomers to the island.
A few add ons Get out to "Magaritavilla" aka the Sand bar,
See Billy Joles beach shack on the beach west end of the Westin/Our Lucaya for lunch,try his fresh conch salad or catch of the day or just a burger
Do a Wine and cheese sunset cruise but don't pre pay just meet the boat at the dock Port Lucaya you cant miss them, and check out the passengers take a pass if its a mess of spring breakers as it can get ugly! a older group can be a fun time!
Not all the restaurants are good as they charge high prices and you can get sub par food, 27 years going to the Bahamas mostly Grand Bahama we have found out to bring a collapsible cooler upgrade room with mini fridge just a few bucks ,buy breakfast / lunch items at the local Grocery store only a mile out of lucaya as if your planing a early dive, restaurants are a bit slow in the A.M. and thats a good thing they are on Island time! We do picnic lunches on the all public Bahamian beaches -saves big money and Port Lucaya sports several USA Fast food places and others on Island are all good as USA just more $$$- Other wise many of the places the Locals eat at the fair of chicken and rice & peas is great!
For a special night out check out Luciano's over looking PortLucya but you need to make Reservations EARLY! a place that has not done us wrong for more than you can eat meals at a fair price has been Giovanni's Café
A trip to the East end can be fun as we do this as a day trip rent a car then hook up with a bone fisherman and do a whole day charter, with bone fishing, & shore lunch of fresh catch I like the bugs seem like the Bahamians have no season! diving the blue hole or as the Bahamians call them Boiling holes,one small blue hole can be done from the shore as as shore dive-more of a snorkel and as said just being out on a cay =your private island is a blast and to see no one all day but your friendly guide have a great trip the waters are now so warm,
enjoy!
Dive safe,
Brad
