Bahamas hotels are in plentiful supply, as this stunning archipelago in the Caribbean has long been a popular tourist spot. Vacationers have been heading here for the legendary Bahamas beaches, shady palms, and excellent sailing opportunities for decades. The archipelago is known as the 700 Islands, and there are plenty of Bahamas accommodations on all of the main islands. Grand Bahama and New Providence are the twin centers of the tourist industry. Both islands have international airports, and around these hubs are some of the top 10 hotels in the Bahamas. Due to their convenient location, many of these hotels charge sky-high prices, and you are more likely to find luxury Bahamas hotels on these islands than budget options. The Bahamas is known for its upscale resorts, such as the mega-hotel Atlantis on Paradise Island. However, there are still a fair few cheap hotels, ensuring that those on a budget aren't priced out of the market.

When it comes to glitz and glamor, the Atlantis mega-resort on Paradise Island (pictured) is definitely one of the top 10 hotels in the Bahamas. Atlantis is an LA-style resort, where world-class dining, water sports facilities, shopping streets, and an impressive range of entertainment facilities are all on the doorstep. Atlantis is a great vacation for kids, as there is a range of activities on offer, as well as dedicated Kids Clubs, allowing parents to slip off for a well-deserved rest and cocktail.

The Old Bahama Bay Resort and Yacht Harbour, on Grand Bahama Island, rivals Atlantis for the range of activities on offer, while placing added emphasis on elegance and understated charm. Visitors come here to enjoy the full-service marina, range of boating activities, and three golf courses on their doorstep. And when the active day is over, guests can retire to the comfort of their suites, which offer soaking tubs or whirlpools and oceanfront terraces on which to unwind. The resort's location on Grand Bahama Island means it is also convenient to access, as the island is home to Nassau International Airport.

Those wanting privacy may want to search for Bahamas hotels on the Out Islands, which tend to be less populated with resorts. The island of Eleuthera is famed for its old-world charm. Cape Eleuthera Resort is the most upscale option on the island, doubling as a resort and a yacht club. The resort is known for its world-class marina and tranquil waterfront, perfect for beginners to sailing, as well as more experienced sailors. Guests can also enjoy exploring their surroundings, as the island is famed for its charming architecture and distinctive pink sand beaches.

Bimini, known as the Sports Fishing Capital of the World, is another popular Out Island. The Bimini Bay Resort and Marina is one of the best hotels on the island, and offers a selection of 217 luxury suites and homes. Guests can stay at a bay-front villa for that added touch of class, or can opt for a tree house if they're feeling more adventurous. The resort is a perfect destination for a luxury fishing holiday, while those with no interest in fishing can enjoy tennis or bocce ball, or take advantage of the excellent spa, with a choice of Thai or Swedish massage.

For those on a budget, there are a range of Bahamas accommodations that won't burn a hole in your pocket. The Rainbow Inn on Eleuthera is undoubtedly one of the top 10 hotels in the Bahamas due to its proximity to the well-known Surfing Beach and low rates. Those looking for Bahamas accommodations with a fun twist should check out the Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant on Nassau. The Graycliff is a paradise for cigar enthusiasts, as some of the most prized cigars in the world are produced on its premises. Even if you're not a smoker, the Cuban exotic flair and low-key atmosphere are bound to make your experience one to remember.
