The Westin Grand Bahamas

If you're making plans to go to the Bahamas anytime soon (June-November is hurricane season), take comfort: The Westin and Sheraton Grand Bahama Island properties promise to waive any cancellation or no-show fees if Grand Bahama Island gets placed under Hurricane Warning or even Hurricane Watch.

If anyone with a reservation can't get to the resort due to the closure of the hotel or Grand Bahama Island International Airport, they'll get a full refund or an upgrade on their next visit if they come back within a year.

But we wonder what they do, if you can't get out of the island due to a hurricane? Do you have to pay the full room rate. We hope not. Our advice? Avoid hurricane season altogether.
