Flexible Facilities, Multiple Amenities Await Groups A
LL PLANNERS WANT UNMATCHED MEETING facilities, and that’s what they get when they bring groups to Wyndham Nassau Resort &
Crystal Palace Casino. Wyndham Nassau Resort is conveniently situated
in Nassau, the Bahamas’ capital city, just 35 minutes by air off the Florida coast, on the island of New Provi- dence. Of Nassau’s properties with meeting facilities, the Wyndham Nassau offers a higher degree of flex- ibility for meetings, receptions, and banquets; more than 30,000 square feet of space in the conference center is configurable to suit individual needs. Other features include the 14,037-square-foot
Crystal Ballroom, which can host up to 1,750 people, and the 800-seat Rainforest Theatre. Twelve equally versatile meeting rooms have full audiovisual capa- bilities. Planners also can choose from a variety of comprehensive catering services and group meal plans.
“Simple, yet spacious” accommodations in a total
of 559 guest rooms and suites also make Wyndham Nassau Resort a best bet for groups. A contemporary feel and an island vibe are provided by vibrantly col- ored appointments and local artwork in all rooms. Pri- vate balconies overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or the heart of Cable Beach add another level of distinction and pampering. When it’s time to relax after meetings, delegates
can head to the Crystal Palace Casino, where they will find more than 30,000 square feet of space with 400 state-of-the-art slot machines and 40 game tables. Bets on any and every sport-
ing event can be placed around the corner from the casino floor at the island’s only Sports Book. The hot, chic 22 Above lounge overlooks the casino floor and has an extensive martini list filled with tempting delights. Caribbean beats with live entertainment from local artists spice up the area.
