On the menu is the Fleming, named after Bond author, Ian Fleming, who sat barside when Thunderball was being filmed, as well as the Vesper martini, ordered by Bond in Casino Royale. Regular guests have martinis named after them the bartender knows exactly how they like it. Indeed, it's not just the azure seas, tropical Georgian architecture, bougainvillea and hibiscus-filled gardens and sublime service that lures holidaymakers here the martini bar and Bond association is a big draw for visitors to the One&Only Ocean Club. More recently, Daniel Craig shot Casino Royale on the grounds. Sean Connery filmed Thunderball here he lives nearby and apparently still visits the martini bar to relive the 007 years. Hartford bought the land on Hog Island just off Nassau, had it renamed Paradise Island, built his dream resort and chartered a Pam Am jet to fly the likes of Zsa Zsa Gabor and Burl Ives from New York for the opening extravaganza, Bal du Paradis, in 1962.
