Freeport bahamas gay bars

By Jase Peeples Originally published on Gay. However, after experiencing a surprising level of acceptance for the LGBT community on a recent trip to Aruba I was hoping my latest Caribbean voyage would offer more of the same. Located only 55 miles east of the Florida coast, Grand Bahama Island enjoys sub-tropical weather that is generally pleasant year round.

The Grand Lucayan resort rests along a 7. The beach is gay stunning sight that instantly invokes a calming spirit, and a walk along the powdery perfection of this shoreline is a sensation akin to strolling along a bed of silk. Crystal waves continually caress the coastline, submerging your senses in pure serenity.

But if you prefer soaking up the sun without feeling the sand between your toes, the freeport offers 4 separate pools, including a gorgeous infinity pool that offers an elegant eye-enveloping view. Each of the guestrooms—including 27 suites and a Presidential Suite—face the breathtaking beach, the marina, or lush tropical gardens, and is equipped with high-speed internet access for those who need to stay plugged in on their getaway.

From fine dining to casual cuisine, the Grand Lucayan boasts a diverse array of restaurants. Relish in the laidback environment of Iries Bar as you savor island-favorite creations like the Conch Salad Pizza or bar a taste of the local cuisine with a buffet-style dinner featuring fresh seafood and delightful deserts like the Bahamian Bread Pudding at Willy Broadleaf.

Whatever your taste—or mood—something for every palate can be found here. For the adventurous soul there are plenty of activities. Snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, parasailing, jet skiing, kite-boarding, kayaking, and boating are merely a fraction of the impressive water sports that can be bahama only a few feet from your doorstep.

However, the Dolphin Experience at the Underwater Explorers Society—located in Port Lucaya Marina, across from the resort—is the most amazing adventure I had on the entire island. A variety of interactions are available that will allow you to swim, race and dive with live dolphins.

Hydrate and exfoliate your skin with a customized body wrap, or relax while two massage therapists work out your tension for 50 minutes with a Total Senses Massage.

Grand Lucayan – Bahamas

I personally recommend the Pure Sense Facial, which is customized to each individual. Though other areas of the island may not be as welcoming to queer vacationers, the resort and its surrounding areas were certainly friendly toward me, and offered enough activities to keep me entertained over a four-day trip.
