Memories Grand Bahama: very nice resort

rooms were clean ,food was very good ,staff was very friendly . My only complaint was the lack of washcloths and hand towels.Had a good experience with the a la cartes as the food was delicious. Good family resort.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Great resort

Pool was always clean, very large! we only wished there was more shade. You had to get up at 6 to clame a shades spot by the pool. Clean rooms. Food was better then some resorts in Cuba. Buffet room did not always have the AC on-making for a hot lunch/dinner time

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Excellent Hotel, great food and great location.

The hotel is amazing. It has a great view to the sea and it is located near (less than 100 meters) the Atlantis complex (where there are many night clubs, the casino, aqua park, aquarium and many others activities). Also, the all included package is really all included. The mini bar, the restaurants, the drinks, the room service, everything included. In the beach there was plenty activities such as para sailing, jet ski among others (not managed by the hotel). It goes without saying that the Nas [... read more]sau water is crystal blue. It is a great place to relax, to have fun at night or to do both.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: wicked 4 day vacation

loved the riu in bahamas and and would stay there again in a heartbeat.had a awesome 4 day vacation and i cant say enough about the resort, food ,staff and the locals .highly recommend a stay in riu palace bahamas,

Sandals Royal Bahamian: Very good resort

The only very disappointing feature of the resort was the food and restaurant service. The resort did not compare at all with other similar resorts which hold themselves out as high end. The food was adequate at best.

Memories Grand Bahama: Ok resort. Nice location. Great people

The Bahamas was a very relaxing vacation. The hotel was clean. The rooms are small and it is an older hotel. The beach and water were great. We went to the local restaurants often. I would go to the Bahamas again but would look into a hotel that was not all inclusive as leaving the resort was awesome. The drivers are courteous and seem to watch for pedestrians

Memories Grand Bahama: “Amazing food and culture, gorgeous beach

My husband and I just spent a week at the Memories Resort in the Bahamas - April 5-12. The trip overall was amazing, we had such a great time. The resort itself is a work in progress, so keep that in mind. Check-in was pretty crazy, though they really did try. It was organized well, yet a lot of the rooms weren't ready. Overbooking or understaffed? Our room was not ready at 3pm. We had to wait until 345. A lot of other people had the same problem. Definitely something they need to work on. Towe [... read more]ls are a big problem here. We didn't change out our towels everyday so it wasn't bad for us. When we did switch them out, we didn't get replacement towels. This was solved by calling down to the front desk. They had them at our door within 15 min. A friend we met on the resort actually had to use toilet paper to dry off!! hahahaha we laughed so hard at this but honestly, this is an issue. This couple had no towels all week. They were using their beach towels to shower and dry off. The room itself was kept well and clean. The fridge was restocked everyday. The bed was very firm. My husband had a hard time sleeping all week. That's just preference and what you're used to. The toilet is a little strange and you have to get used to how to flush it. Push it gently and only half way to get a whole flush. If you push it all the way down, it doesn't flush properly. The food at this resort was amazing. You have to try the Steak house and Japanese/sushi. The food was so delicious and the staff, overall feel and ambiance was great. Try the macaroni as a side at the Steak house! The Selections Buffet was awesome. Everything was excellent. You can't go wrong by choosing this for dinner. They had a Caribbean BBQ night on the beach and that was my favourite. The Prop Bar was another great restaurant. They're open 11-2am and even turn into a dance bar at night. It's a great environment with the best bar-tending staff at the resort. The Italian restaurant was a waste of time. It's exactly what they serve at the buffet. You have to wait an hour to sit, order and get food that isn't even as good as the buffet. My noodles were undercooked and the Alfredo sauce was like water with a touch of Alfredo. I would suggest skipping this restaurant. They should revamp this resto and make it something worth while. Eat Italian at the buffet and make it to your own liking. The pool bar staff were my least favorite. I'm not sure if it's a matter of them being unhappy working at that bar, they're under paid, or it's a personality thing. I mean, day in and day out, working at the pool bar which was literally non-stop all day, I can understand. But, everyday they seemed unhappy. Perhaps management should have some sort of rotation schedule to switch up the bartenders and where they serve. Working at the pool bar everyday has to be tough. It's the liveliest place during the day at the resort; the bar staff should have the personality to match and keep up. The Social Bar was open from 12pm all day/night. The staff were kind, but mostly quiet. Andre was my favorite. Very nice guy with great energy. They actually have real Caesars here with Clamato! That was a great surprise. Free wi-fi that works all over the resort and on the beach. Amazing. Everyone in the entertainment staff was great! Mama B (I think that was her name) was my favorite. They are all so full of energy and make everything 10x more fun! The three guys (I never got their names) were so funny and awesome to be around. They would make great bartenders!!! One had short braided hair, the other was Latin and was an amazing dancer and the last was tall and slim and great at getting a crowd going. Look out for these great staff members. They are the ones I took notice of and saved their names in my phone: Tanille at the steak house - excellent server who dealt with us in a group of 8. She was attentive, outgoing and very friendly. We tipped her 27 bucks. Lavardo at the Prop Shop. Very nice and kind guy. Great server. Perron at Selections Buffet Andre at Social Bar. Awesome guy! Tracy at Italian - even though the food wasn't good, she was a great server. Nathan for breakfast Selections buffet. One of my favorite servers. He's so sweet and kind! Daniel at the Prop Shop - hands down the best bartender on the resort. The other staff could really learn from him. The pool was great. Make sure you get up early and reserve your lounge chair with your towel and personal belongings. One thing I can't stand is how guests will put their towel on a chair in the morning and not show up until 2-3pm. That's a full day of someone else having to sit on the ground because of their selfishness. I wish there were lounge chair police! Even as grown adults, people are incapable of being smart and considerate when putting their items on a chair they don't plan on using. The beach is so beautiful. It reminded us of Cuba. Same as the pool, reserve your chairs early and if you want an umbrella, 5-6am will get you one. Any later than that, the chances are very low. This resort is family-friendly. There were a lot of babies, young children and teens. They had kids activities everyday. Spider man and Ironman showed up on the Saturday. That was so awesome! There is a market directly across from the resort. We went there many times throughout the week. The people who work here are so friendly and were not pushy at all. If you have been to Cuba, you can understand how bad that can actually get. This place, it's comfortable, clean and everyone is so kind. They have a few banks too. RBC, Scotia bank and a few others. Lots of high end and souvenir shops. They even have a Subway, Pizza Hut, Dominos. I've never seen these while travelling (I haven't been to Mexico) so that was neat. One thing I noticed is there were no stray dogs or cats. I've seen them everywhere I've been except here. They are either very good at keeping the population under control or they don't allow them in the tourist area. Overall, I would recommend this resort. Keep an open mind and remember, the good outweighs the bad! Stayed April 2015, travelled as a couple

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Bahama Trip Riu Resport

the musty smell was a bit shocking but after being there for a few days we completely understood why there was a musty smell - with the humidity it would be extremely hard to not have a musty smell but the hotel was extremely clean, the staff was very helpful and if we needed anything every one was more then willing to help. One thing was the line up for the drinks was always a little long so an extra person to help with drinks wouldn't be a bad thing but over all it was extremely enjoyable! :)

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Great Resort

Just got back from RIU Nassau and couldn't be more pleased. 2nd time there after an 8 year absence and very happy. Food good, especially in 2 of the a LA carts. Buffet was above average, not sure what anyone could complain about. I would return in a minute! Certainly recommend to anyone.

Pelican Bay: Wonderful relaxing 2week vacation

the room was a nice surprise. The upgrade to an waterside suite was well worth it. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with a comfy couch, chair, flat screen TV, and desk. The buffet area had 2 coffee makers (1 pods), fridge and microwave, and a quaint copper sink. The separate bedroom had a nice sized closet (no drawers), king bed, and another smaller flat screen. (Got to watch some playoff hockey and see the lovely weather back home. Lol) the bathroom was completely tiled with 2 double sinks an [... read more]d bath. ( the tep. settings need very fine tuning and the water pressure wasn't that great...but it was only a miner issue). Nice balcony with 2 adirondack chairs and foot rests. AND A GREAT VIEW! Watched all manners of boats daily. The resort had 3 pools, and a nice restaurant/bar by 1 pool. There was a quiet pool and the pool with "BONES BAR" and swim up bar. The grounds were immaculate. While relaxing by the pool daily we were asked about the place. Were they condos? Can you stay longer? Are the rooms as nice as the outside? What are the people like? They were impressed. We opted for breakfast included. I would not do this again. For the first few days there was a good selection of hot and cold foods and fruits and pastries. With the exception of the last day this was not the case. Although the staff at the complex was very friendly and helpful the breakfast staff was not. The "Market Place" was adjacent to Pelican Bay. There are many restaurants and bars and a variety for all tastes. We found that the people staying at "Memories" and "Grand Lucayan" seemed th prefer to eat here rather than their resorts. We opted for a couple of the sites to see. On the advice of the front desk we opted for a taxi to take us. Great choice. Very friendly, very informative,and easy to talk to. Adrienne was also a better deal than the tours. We were given a cell phone and could call him whenever we felt like returning. Tours are about 3 hours with 2 hours of driving! The most impressive was Gold Rock beach in the natural reserve. BEAUTIFULLY UNTOUCHED! Having been to the Bahamas in the past I found many things have changed. The people in general are not overly helpful (except for Pelican Bay) and they are slow. We planned on relaxing and not too much more ( a little Casino time ). This was done to perfection. We had a great holiday at Pelican Bay. Definitely choose the suite/waterfront and preferably the 4th floor. And enjoy happy hour at Bones from 5-7! Cheers,

Riu Palace Paradise Island: great little getaway!

I just got back from four days at the Riu. The resort was clean, from the dinning areas, to the lobby, to the pool and beach. I watched the employees clean the pool in the morning, and I was very pleased with how they cleaned the pool area. The washrooms in the lobby were also always kept very clean. The staff was friendly, and my favourite part was the beach. It was such a nice beach front, and they kept it nice and clean aswell. I noticed half the people were tipping bar tenders and about half [... read more] of the people were not. And I found I didn't get served any different from those tipping. The food was good I went with someone who has many food allergies and she also found plenty to eat. I never had a problem getting water bottles either, just request at the front desk for them to bring it to your room. I also read reviews about dirty water coming from the taps and shower. I had no problem and showered everyday. The air conditioning also worked really well in my room. I stayed in the supior oceanview, not sure if that made a difference compared to the standard rooms. The only downfall was it was a lot of couples and older singles. Not a party vacation place for a group of young people, but a great place for a relaxing vacation.

Memories Grand Bahama: Awesome Holiday!

It was a very beautiful resort. We have never been to the Bahamas. I would totally recommend going if you haven't. We have been to Mexico numerous times and we have been to Cuba. It is very different. We found it shopping for trinkets evpensive, the beaches not as clean or maintained. Service slow and layed back as in comparison. We found the food very good, the people beautiful inside and out. Rooms decent, as well as atmosphere in the restraunts. I was asked if I would go back...my answer is d [... read more]efinitely! I still think the Mayan Riveria is still my favorite.

Memories Grand Bahama: Small...but perfect!!!

I prefer smaller sized resorts...so I LOVED IT. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. You have to try the steakhouse and the sushi. We always had amazing service at the prop club! No complaints

Memories Grand Bahama: Above and beyond wonderful!!!

Really great resort, rooms clean, well kept grounds, great fitness equipment, food to die for, great great great kids camp!!!! The staff went above and beyond to please my child during super hero week. Just magical!!!

Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach: Great Family Resort

This is a great small resort. We travelled with 2 children and enjoyed the fact that we could see them at all times. The snorkelling off the beach was amazing and there was always activities to participate in for young and old. The food wasn't spectacular but you could always find something good to eat. I would highly recommend this resort for people looking for an economical family vacation. We stayed in April and the weather was fantastic.

Sandals Royal Bahamian: Stunning!!!!!!!

Wonderful staff, amazing food, great views- overall amazing! The beaches were beautiful and the private island was a wonderful getaway- there were no pushy vendors which was a nice treat. We were not made to wear wristbands so everyone was treated the same.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Enjoyable Resort

Gorgeous beach, but lacking umbrellas. Beautiful grounds. Clean rooms, but had to ask for change of mattress and providing hair dryer and soap. Good food in restaurants but not so good in self service "Market". Cheerful staff but management could be improved. Lack of orientation information on arrival.

Grand Lucayan Breakers Cay: Grand Lucayan Bahamas

We all, meaning our family of four had a great time., The hotel, service and beach were all great .The location was awesome for our desired water sports, the staff always proved helpful and the lovely beach was not overcrowded

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Perfect stay

The resort is simply superb ! Our room had the perfect view of the ocean with an amazing sunrise each morning! What a great way to start your day. Food was fabulous and always hot with an amazing selection. Staff was friendly and always ready to advise. Rooms were cleaned and bar fridge replenished each day. Made for one enjoyable vacation. Way to go RIU.

Memories Grand Bahama: Beautiful resort

The grounds are beautiful, the staff are mostly quite friendly, and the food is pretty good, but there are some glitches that this newer resort needs to work on. My in-laws plunge pool never worked, we didn't always recieve towels in our room, and our group either didn't receive a hair dryer or it was taken at some point during the week, just to name a few small complaints.
