Don't think I'd recommend Nassau. The restaurants there were not outstanding, in my opinion and A LOT of the infrastructure there is centered around the incredibly touristy Paradise Island. Have you considered Curacao? Great food, infrastructure, less crowded, gorgeous beaches.
Here's its page on HiltonCaribbean.com, worth a look.

Only thing is, the further south you go in August, the truly hotter than hell it will be. I might even consider North Carolina that time of year, if only for the cooler weather.
