5 Star! Grand Bahama Island! Oceanfront! 3 condos available!

The Condo is beautiful and clean. The view was unbelievable! This is truly ocean front. I slept with the doors open each night, I could hear the ocean and feel the breeze. It is a gated community with security. As a female traveling alone, I always felt safe. The locals here are incredibly kind, helpful, and good people. I feel like we became friends during my time here. The food at the Tiki bar was SOOO GOOD! I ate all my meals there, so I tried many different things and every meal was delicious and fresh. I would recommend staying here to anyone! Do come prepared. This condo is privately owned and so the resort does not provide anything.I did have coffee in my room when I got here but when I went to office to get supplies for the next day, they said they don't provide that for the privately owned condo's. I asked if I could purchase some and they told me no. That I would have to go into the village and buy it there. If you will not have a car here, I recommend having your cab driver stop in the village on the way in to buy your snacks, coffee, extra toilet paper etc... The resort does offer maid service for $35.00 a day. Also, when you arrive expect to pay a resort fee and a cleaning fee on top of what you pay here. on Home away. I highly recommend it here and will come again!

We loved it. We decided to vacation at home we are from Nassau, Bahamas but chose my husbands hometown for vacay. It was amazing,quiet ,super clean, and enjoyable. Perfect for family time without distractions. Ms.Deaton is very responsive to messages and was very friendly.

The setting of Old Bahama Bay resort is lovely. The people were kind and friendly with a very relaxed demeanour. The room was very nice and had an excellent view of the ocean and pool area. I did like the balcony to relax , look out and visit. Also the marina right in the resort was cool. It brought a cool feel and look to the place with large yachts and boats coming in and out. Also the people on the boats were friendly and we had some great visits with people from all over. That was a neat experience.

The resort itself I would say is poorly ran. I am a detail guy and there was lots to be noticed. They have not kept up on he upkeep and cleaning of the resort. The Marina is in some decay and needs boards and ladders replaced and updated. The pathways have broken off bricks and cracked stones everywhere. There was no heat to the pool and it was not kept clean of debris. The Tiki hut by the bar was cool but often filled up by some locals and staff. (I did love a lot of the staff but as a resort that should always be kept clear for the paying guests)

To note the beach area is often covered with seaweed and debris and there is a lot of seaweed in the ocean so not ideal for swimming if your a fair weather beach guy like me. I only want to touch sand out there in the ocean. So I didn’t feel comfortable swimming in the ocean and the pool was freezing so I couldn’t swim there.

I was also very surprised how dirty and decaying much of the Island was. When we travelled up and down the Island in a rental car there was garbage everywhere. A lot of homes and apartment complexes and abandoned hotels were everywhere. I know they got hit hard by hurricane Matthew and I don’t blame anyone on this as they were all lovely people. You should just know what you are going to experience. It is also not cheap at all. Not like a Mexico trip. So you experience the high cost of a Hawaii trip but with a 3 rd world experience.

The room we stayed in was nice though and I would go back. I would just be better prepared than thinking I was going to a 5 star resort. And I would definitely not overpay for a trip there.

Our stay was incredible! The beauty of the resort, with colorful condos, a white sandy beach, palm trees and beautiful blue waters was breathtaking. The condo was lovely, very clean and modern, with a large bath., and a fabulous beachfront view. We enjoyed dining at the two on-site restaurants and lounging around the pools. I used the fitness center each morning and enjoyed riding a bike that was included with the amenities, along with kayaking and snorkeling. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. This was a much needed relaxing vacation for us and we would definitely return to the West End, Bahamas and Old Bahama Bay resort.
