MARLEY RESORT AND SPA/BAHAMAS--Bold reds, greens and golds mingle with earthtones both indoors and out at this seaside hideaway. Reggae music plays in the background; and the aroma of favorite Jamaican foods wafts from the kitchen. But we're in Nassau/Cable Beach, not in Jamaica. True to the Marley legend, rooms in Jamaican decor are named Kinky Reggae, Easy Skankin’ and Lively Up Yourself, and of course, the Honeymoon Suite is called One Love. Simmer Down restaurant serves Ital pepper pot with Irie green salad, and the Stir It Up sports bar is the hangout for a Red Stripe or exotic signature drinks with names reflecting Marley’s roots. Marley Resort & Spa is a nostalgic piece of Reggae Jamaica set down—very surprisingly but authentically—on a scenic coastal cliff in The Bahamas. Irie!  www.marleyresort.com
