Help - 1st Visit to Harborside & Nassau

We will be visiting Harborside & Nassau for the 1st time, just 2 of us in our 60's. Any tips on reasonable restaurants on or off the property, checkin, beaches, etc. We will not be cooking in our unit so any information would be helpful as we will be eating out 7 dinners. Any experience with meal plan compared to restaurants.

I would urge you to consider getting a meal plan if you do not plan on cooking. That will cover your breakfast and dinner and will definately save you money. Food is expensive, as it is all over the Caribbean, so be prepared.

We've used the meal plans and always felt we got our monie's worth and more.

Have a great trip.

Thanks. Can you get the information on the meal plan ahead of time or only when you get there?

Contact the concierge for current plans and rates. Expect to pay through the nose. I would not do it, personally ... I would cook for myself... but to each their own. Good luck.

We were there in Feb and went to Mosaic and Mesa Grill. They were fantastic, but very expensive (over $200 for 3 no drinks). We walked over the bridge and went to the Outback twice which was reasonably priced. It's a long walk and I didn't like it at night, but my husband and son didn't seem to mind. We ate in the other 3 nights. A few times for lunch we ate in Atlantis. They had a lunch special every day for about $8 which we split. There is the Marina Village right next to Harbourside which has Johnny Rockets. There's also Murrys Deli and a pizza stand which I believe are all reasonable. Carmines is also close by, but it is expensive, although they say one portion can serve 4 people. We found it was worth it eating in the 3 nights to enjoy Mosaic and Mesa Grill.

I've been there 4 times and only did meal plan once. I didn't feel it was worth it for us. If you like to eat a 3 course meal then it will pay for you. We don't and don't always want something so big. There is a place called Anthonys right nearby and if you want to go over the bridge then you have OutBack and the Poop Deck restaurants. I walked it twice but it is a little walk. There are plenty of restaurants along the Marina to eat at and I like the flexibilty that the plan doesnt offer. Lunch by the pools are fine or again Anthonys or Quiznos both close by. We ate breakfast in our room because we had a kitchen but did go to Anthonys for breakfast twice. Enjoy yourself!
