 | Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino: Hotel is ok

This hotel is a sufficient place to stay, if you aren't planning on spending too much time in the room or at the resort. Really whether or not this hotel is good for you is based on what you plan on doing on your vacation.
If you are planning on spending your day on day trips (snorkeling/diving, etc) then its probably fine, but if you want to enjoy hotel facilities (pools, water slides, pools, aquariums, lagoons, etc)., definitely go to Atlantis. They have a pool at the Wyndham, but its not too impressive. You'll definitely be shocked when you see the Atlantis facilities.
Overall Don't expect too much at the Wyndham - our phone didn't work for instance (and I heard another guest complaining of a similiar issue), but we didn't really have anyone to call anyway. It could use some renovations, but its definitely sufficient if you need a place to crash.
For a relaxed weekend getaway, where I was just looking for a little sun and swimming, I wish we had paid a bit more and gone to Atlantis. The Wyndham may have been the place to be in the 70's, but they definitely upped the ante over at the Atlantis (think Vegas style on the beach).

We chose to stay at the Wyndham because I have a friend who works at a Wyndham and was able to get us a discounted rate. Thank goodness for that because I was not too impressed with the hotel. We had a corner room on the 3rd floor, which is actually the first floor of guest rooms. The bed was VERY firm, almost uncomfortably so. Facing the bed was an armoire with a 19" TV with cable. Our room had a balcony and we could see the water, but I wouldn't call it an ocean view since most of the ocean was blocked by another tower. The balconies at this hotel and not private at all, and you can see anyone from wherever you are. You can also hear your neighbor's sliding door opening whenever they go outside. Our room was 317 in tower H. It was close to the elevator but it was very quiet the first 3 nights. Then our last night a rowdy bunch moved in a few doors down and slammed their door at all hours of the night. The only major problem with the hotel was that the water was out for much of our 2nd day. I was disappointed that there were no apologies, concessions or discounts offered to us.
We did not eat in any of the hotel restaurants because the prices were outregeous. We did try to order room service for breakfast our last morning, on the hang tag you leave on your doorknob. You put it on your door before midnight and they're supposed to bring your food at the requested time. We had ours out by 8:30pm but when we woke up the next morning the tag was still there. Man was I upset. It was supposed to be a special event for our last morning but the slacker hotel staff ruined it.
The lobby area is nice with marble floors, high ceilings with large skylights. There were only 2 employees at the lobby desk at any time. From the lobby there was an escalator that goes down to the casino, beach, restaurants and spa. Down there, there are desks where you can book activities like snorkel tours, even a desk selling time shares (rolling my eyes). The shops range from liquor, cigars, ice cream, souvenirs, jewelry, accessories and a mini drug store. We frequented the drug store to get bottled water for our day trips. At the bottom of the escalator there was construction on a future bar/coffee shop.
Poolside was quite nice, with plentiful padded lounge chairs and mucis playing thru a sound system. The pool was very large with a big rock formation, waterfall and waterslide. They also have a volleyball net set up in the middle of the pool. The waterslide was only open until 5:00pm which is when you have to return the beach towels you can borrow. If you're late you're charged $10 per towel to your room.
The beach area in front of the hotel is not very wide, so we walked next door to the Radisson Cable Beach. It was a very nice beach but we saw several cigarette butts in the sand. While we were reading and soaking up the sun we were approached several times by vendors, selling hats, necklaces, hair braiding, conch shells. At least they all wore "uniforms" of khaki pants and bright yellow Polo shirts. Two ladies asked if we wanted to buy "Native Treats." I almost asked if they are made from real natives. :-)

We stayed at the Wyndham Crystal Palace Resort and Casino in August of 2008 for one-week. It was great, the rooms are spacious, kept clean, and there is a nice balcony overlooking the ocean. The Bahamian people were quite nice. At this resort, there are plenty of options for food and beverage, but they are a little on the steep side in way of money. The buffett is very good, but for two people at lunch time, it came to just under $50. There is no sense in exchanging US dollars for Bahamian dollars, it is the same rate 1/1.
There is a large pool at this resort with a great waterslide that seems to be busy all day long. The hotel is right on the beach; therefore, guests have their choice beach or pool; we usually chose the poolside. Speaking of poolside, there is a full-service bar right at the pool, but tropical drinks there are expensive. We had two Bahama Mama drinks, and they were just under $20. Yikes, high, I though.
