Traveler Reviews on Grand Bahama Island

Taino Beach Vacation Club

3 of 5 stars
Orpington, England
Nov 19, 2008

We got this place through an exchange and had read numerous reviews and was quite concerned. The room was nice (Marlin)but did not have a balcony so we asked to change and got a room (Ocean) that had a balcony and overlooked the sea but was not as nice as the previous one. Most of the people were pleasant and... more

East Asian Cuisine

5 of 5 stars
Guelph, Canada
Nov 17, 2008

East quickly became one of my favorite places to eat in freeport/port lucaya. From the moment i tasted the vietnamese pho and realized it was the closest thing i've had to real asian cuisine outside of asia i was hooked. The service and knowledge of the staff is un-matched on the island, although it is one of the higher priced... more

Sheraton Grand Bahama Resort at Our Lucaya

5 of 5 stars
Guelph, Canada
Nov 17, 2008

This hotel is located on the same beach front property as the westin and is across the road from the port lucaya marketplace. The staff are well trained and able to help with any questions and tour arrangements. I have stayed here twice now and the rooms are fairly large and always clean. The only restauarnt i have tried was... more

Pelican Bay at Lucaya

Guelph, Canada

This is an excellent hotel, the only exception on the time spent here was that they did not have my room ready when i arrived. Otherwise the staff is freindly and restaurant was about what you would expect from a boutique hotel. more

Ocean Reef Yacht Club & Resort

Nov 15, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Ocean Reef is a nice spot to relax. The on site staff were much more pleasant than many others we met at other hotels, stores and some eateries. The hotel restaurant was good. Many people stay at Ocean Reef for over a week. Townhomes have an outside grill and facilities to cook. A pleasant patio to watch the sun go... more

The Westin Grand Bahama Island Our Lucaya Resort

4 of 5 stars
New York, NY
Nov 14, 2008

Overall, the property is lush and beautiful. The grounds are beautifully kept, and immaculately clean. However, as mentioned, the hotel is starting to show signs of wear, i.e. paint peeling on the metal beach chairs, scrapes on the closet doors where it connects with the room door, etc. Honestly, nothing that a little TLC couldn't fix. The employees were wonderful,... more

Taino Beach Vacation Club

Nov 14, 2008

Originally I booked the Flamingo Bay hotel for $80 a night. When I arrived on November 8 2008, it was closed for renovations. The taxi driver took me to the Ritz Taino Beach next door which was accepting Flamingo Bay reservations while it was being renovated. So I got a free upgrade to a classy Hotel. The person at the... more

Killington, Vermont
Nov 12, 2008

Overall stay was ok. The idiosncarasies of the resort were a dissappointing distraction. The beach is just spectacular. Beach towels are almost non available even though so slow , what gives? Trash trucks doing their rounds at 5am, not acceptable. Some very helpful and pleasant employees, some downright rude and very confrontational or just being ignored. Seems to have supervisors... more

The Westin Grand Bahama Island Our Lucaya Resort

Nov 11, 2008

Let me first say that we used Starwood points for this stay, so it did not cost us anything but the resort fees and service charges which amounted to 192.00 for 7 nights. We arrived there on a Tuesday and were supposed to be booked at the Sheraton. I got an email a few days before our arrival saying that... more

Coral Beach Hotel and Condos

Nov 10, 2008

My husband and I recently returned from a one week stay in Grand Bahamas. We had been there last year and stayed at the Sheraton which was nice, but had it's drawbacks (many additional taxes and fees above the quoted rate/night and had to always eat out since it is a hotel room and there is no kitchen) so we... more

3/3 found this review helpful

We arrived at the start of September and was staying for two weeks. The resort was very quite for the first week as they were not sure whether a hurricane was going to hit the island or not. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived to the day we left. The security guy on the... more

I went there with my boyfriend for spring break! We read the reviews before and were a bit scared. However we followed some of the advices and it was better. The best advice is definitely to ask for a room in the renovated part of the hotel. We did that but were unlucky: turns out that all the reviews about... more

Pelican Bay at Lucaya

We run a Scuba Shop in CT and took a group to Pelican bay last October. This hotel was was right next to UNEXSO dive shop which made it very convenient to make the boat on time every morning. The hotel was also right next to the marketplace which had the best restaurants we ever ate at. We can't forget... more

Redwood Hotel

Nov 5, 2008

If you are looking for a five star hotel, Redwood Inn is not for you, but if you are looking for a great! staff that really welcomes you to the Grand Bahamas then this is the place for you. The hotel is very inexspensive and in walking distance to the beach, eatries and the market place! (shopping). The Redwood staff... more

We got back from Pelican Bay almost a week ago. It was wonderful! The people in the Bahamas were the nicest I have ever met. NOBODY was rude! Everyone was just so helpful and happy all the time! The location of this place is perfect. Don't let not being right on the beach scare you! It is a really short... more

We booked our stay with the Discovery Cruise option thru gobahama.com. We did realize that at this price, we weren't going to get the Ritz-Carlton and a private butler, but we were very happy with what we DID get! Our room was a little far from the lobby, so I would suggest letting a bellman take your luggage for you.... more

I just have to say that the hotel was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the locals were very kind. My best gal pal and I were treated like queens. more

My husband and I went to this resort for a long weekend. After reading some of the bad reviews we didn't have high expectations. The beach was very nice and quiet, and we had a very nice ocean-view room (building B) even though we only paid for a garden-view room. The food however has plenty of room for improvement... don't... more

First, it seemed we were a bother when checking in, evrything was way way over-priced. For a simple 8 oz. drink at the pool bar/outdoor resturant, it was $6.90 ! I`m talking about a plastic beer cup.... The rooms were no where near a 4-5 star as advertised. They never came in to mop during our 8 day stay so... more
