Dreaming about warmer weather? Make plans for the Bahamas this spring by booking this four-night deal, from $495 per person with airfare.
This week’s deal comes from Delta Vacations (tel. 800/800-1504; www.deltavacations.com). The package price reflects a four-night stay at the Nassau Palm Hotel, a three-star property overlooking Nassau Harbor on New Providence Island. Located across from the white sand of Junkanoo Beach, the hotel also has two outdoor pools. It’s also well situated for downtown shopping and dining, which you’ll need as the hotel does not have an on-site restaurant. If you want to stay somewhere else, expect the price to go up accordingly. Other participating hotels include Atlantis Paradise Island, One&Only Ocean Club, and the Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino.
Why is this a deal? A nonstop Delta flight is available from $315 per person for a May 6 departure from New York-LaGuardia. Four nights in an island-view king room comes to $514 (including taxes) for two people, or $257 per person. If you booked separately, this trip would cost you at least $572 per person, and that’s not including the round-trip airport transfers (about $25 per person). If you reserved the trip independently, the airfare and four nights’ hotel would cost about $597 — you save about $102 by booking the package with Delta.

All prices are per person and, if lodging is a component of the package, based upon two people traveling together (unless otherwise noted). The prices listed are general starting rates; see “What Else You’ll Have to Pay” for details about associated taxes and fees. Base-prices, taxes, and fees can vary based on point of departure and time of travel. Blackout dates may apply. Trip add-ons like sightseeing tours and meal plans may also increase the price. Check with the tour operator for additional gateways. The single supplement is the extra cost that a solo traveler would pay to book the deal.
