The largest resorts in the Bahamas avoided the wrath of Hurricane Dorian. The next step is making sure everyone knows it.
The Category 5 hurricane mostly spared the island of New Providence, home to almost two-thirds of the Caribbean nation’s roughly 17,500 hotel rooms, according to Resort Capital Partners. The Nassau airport is open, as is the massive Baha Mar resort, which includes Grand Hyatt, SLS and Rosewood properties. Nearby Atlantis Paradise Island, the mega-resort that Brookfield Asset Management Inc. has explored selling, was also unaffected.
