Breezes Bahama-Where do I start
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/25/11
I have never written a review about anything and actually posted it ,however I feel the need to provide a view of the Breezes resort to assist future travelers.
Upon arrival at the resort I could clearly see the hotel is old and very outdated. Most of the staff is friendly and willing to assist you anyway they can. The resort is all inclusive and an employee did greet us at check in with a tray of drinks to welcome us. As I stated before this hotel is extremely dated. We had a group of 6 and although we ended up enjoying the overall experience, there are some issues that should definitely be addressed but I’ll start with the positive.
The hotel did provide a FREE shuttle from the airport, this was extremely convenient. The drinks were all free and it free flowing, they want to ensure you enjoy yourself. The hotel isn’t far from the downtown area. A short taxi ride and we were able to enjoy the shops and local cuisine. The bathrooms have been updated and the hotel activity staff is very friendly and have a great time.
On the other end…. The hotel is so outdated, the décor is not the best to look at, but with the free drinks flowing you learn to look past that. The food on the other hand…. I could not.
They have 2 restaurants on the resort along with a buffet and poolside grill. Let me just say, that poolside grill is the only that kept us going. They had simple hamburgers and hotdogs but they were tasty. As for the buffet? No Ma’am, the food was cold and seemed to be sitting out all day. The breakfast was the best meal of the day. However the dinner was a mess. There were not a whole lot of options and what they did have was a guessing game of “name that meat”. As I stated before, there are 2 restaurants….I can’t speak on the quality of that food because they were booked the whole time we were there. We stayed for 4 days and were unable to eat there once. We called in the morning to make the reservations(As required) but they were booked up. Even after voicing my concern for not being able to enjoy the other restaurants, they still didn’t really care and wouldn’t allow me to make reservations for the next day.
Another issue was the room service, I know we waited for towels on several occasions. One day we waiting 45 minutes and called 3 times and still nothing. I understand the urgency in the islands is not the same in the US but 45minutes for some towels is a little crazy. Lastly, let me talk about the killer birds. Okay, I use the term killer loosely. Those seagulls RUN the resort. They are everywhere, if you have food in your hand beware. They are absolutely everywhere and they attack you at a moment’s notice.
I think Breezes-Bahamas is a great choice for drunk college students. If you are looking for something cheap and that can offer free drinks, this is your spot. In the end we made the most of the trip and it turned into a fun experience but I would never stay again. We left the resort hungry and terrified of birds.
Happy Vacationing,
