Baha Mar: Grand Hyatt

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is one of three hotels on the resort property. Serving as the “main” Baha Mar resort and housing its giant casino, it promises travelers a lively and upscale experience. 

New Providence, home to the Bahamian capital of Nassau, has many upscale, beautiful resorts. That said, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar on Cable Beach is a great option for almost anyone.

Located on the sprawling 1,000-acre Baha Mar complex, the Hyatt Nassau Bahamas comes with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a four-star property. With access to other resort amenities and one of the top Nassau beaches, it offers a lot to travelers who stay there.

Hyatt Baha Mar

New Providence entered a period of massive growth in the 20th Century. During that time, hotels and resorts began appearing on it and nearby Paradise Island, ready to cater to travelers from around the world. This was in stark contrast to the island’s quieter past. 

In the early 2000s, a local billionaire began renovating three existing Nassau hotels, but the financial crash of 2008 threw a wrench into these plans. However, a Chinese bank and investment firm took over, and in 2017, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar opened as the first resort option. Two others, SLS and Rosewood, opened soon after. 

Despite the initial setbacks, Grand Hyatt Nassau and the other Baha Mar hotels have played an important role in the Bahamas. Today, the resort accounts for 12% of the country’s GDP. Likewise, it directly employs 5,000 people and indirectly employs another 15,000 more. 

Rooms at Grand Hyatt Nassau 

Standard room rates start at around $385 per night (as of 2024*), with better views increasing the price to around $515 per night. Suites, including penthouses, are also an option, with the most luxurious costing nearly $2,500 per night. 

Hyatt members can also book rooms using points.

As with any Hyatt property, travelers can also use points to book rooms. Depending on the time of year, standard rooms can cost between 21,000 to 29,000 points per night.
