Getting a schedule of the resort’s nightlife and entertainment options when checking in isn’t always a guarantee. If this is a key part of your experience, ask the front desk for a rundown of what’s happening that week. It also doesn’t hurt to ask their opinion on what the best shows are. Most of the big family-friendly resorts have large theaters with several shows daily — some are geared towards kids and others are for adults. Theaters often feature a bar where attendees can also order drinks. Shows can evolve into live music at the casino or an all-night disco blaring dance tunes. Entertainment might also fall into the romantic category. For example, at Sandals Royal Bahamian, guests can sip wine by an outdoor fire and listen to live jazz or sidle up to the piano bar for late-night sing-alongs.
