Reggae Retreat
by Dean Blaine
It may not be in his native Jamaica, but the new Marley Resort & Spa in Nassau offers an authentic tribute to Bob Marley. His widow and children recently opened the family’s longtime summer retreat along Cable Beach as a 16-suite hotel. Each guest room is named for a different Marley song and has decor to match the tune’s theme. “One Love” is the honeymoon suite; “Three Little Birds” is done up in vibrant yellows, blues, and oranges; and “Kinky Reggae” comes in shades of red, green, and gold. Live music abounds, and many of the suites have balconies overlooking a courtyard performance stage. The resort’s restaurant, Simmer Down, serves Caribbean cuisine including pepper pot soup, one of Marley’s favorite dishes. Inside the Music Gallery, guests can see Marley family memorabilia and listen to music and rare interviews. For more info, visit marleyresort.com.
