Disappointed
Horrible check in experience. After traveling for 14 hours we just wanted to get to our room and relax. We were instead directed to not one but two different areas to be sold a Time Share then several excursions. We were not allowed to get our room key until we sat through these sales pitches. After about another 45 minutes, we were able to make it to the room where it was extremely disappointing. The room was old, dirty and dated. I attempted to access the room safe but I was not working. The Fridge was not working either and was old and dirty, I stepped on a piece of glass that had not been properly swept up or cleaned. We asked twice for a service technician to fix the fridge, but he never came. We were finally moved the next day to another room that was not much better. All bad from there.

When we got there the room wasn’t ready;however, the front desk service clerk was very nice and accommodating. She didn’t everything within her power to get us to our room within an hour. The room I stayed in AC was leaking so we had to change rooms in the middle of the night; however, they did allow us a late checkout to compensate.

The location next to a gorgeous beach was great, the property itself was extremely dated. The most disappointing element of the stay was the poor concierge. The woman running the desk was very unhelpful and unknowledgeable about local excursions, bike rentals etc. and No WiFi in the room! Ughh

The pool and slide are awesome but the floor of the pool made it look dirty. Didnt like the tv was static could hardly view and internet service only at restaurant and around pool and lobby and also internet is really slow so people can’t do important work over internet in a timely fashion. Really important to get faster internet and available in rooms for me to come back to resort. Worst RCI resort i have ever been to. If they would update property would be awesome place.

Love this resort! Its a real taste of the Bahamas with the comforts of home. The pool, swim up bar, beach and restaurant are wonderful! A few challenges, for example the collection of kitchen utensils/cookware was random and made cooking a bit of a challenge. But once we asked it was handled quickly by very kind staff. I highly recommend this property!!

I thought this resort was amazing! However, many of the amenities were closed (water sports, ferry) and closed early (6:00 pm). But the staff was so amazing and friendly the entire time!

I aish i knew restaurant and bars were not open except friday and Saturday. Even on those days it was open the hours it said it would be. I went to breakfast Friday at 1020 and they were not serving it anymore. I Lso found out after i was supposed to get a gallon of drinking water which i never got. I think the slide, bar, and restaurant should be open past 6. At least untill 8pm if not later. I did like the lounges and tables on the beach and the hammock by the pool. I also had mosquitoes flying around in my room. Alfie is the best bartender!

This is a clean and lovely property with friendly staff. The lack on internet in the rooms made it challenging to conduct work. During the winter months and in light of no direct flights bringing tourists to the islands currently, the restaurant is closed so there are no options for food or drink (or water) within walking distance. (Tap water on the island has a high saline content.)
