Package Bahamas Reviews

After arriving at Nassau (British Airways managed NOT to lose our luggage) we were met at the airport and driven to Sandals.

Check in at the hotel was painless. We were taken to the piano lounge and given a glass of champagne and our passports, credit cards and details were taken.

Our luggage was taken up to our room and we were given our room keys. That's when the problems started. We went to our room and opened the door. The room was occupied and somebody was in the shower. We had been given the wrong room. On our way back down to reception, we spotted the luggage cart and noted which room our luggage was supposed to go to.

At reception, the problem was quickly sorted out and we were assigned another room. We stayed in the main house (the former residence of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor). The room was large but slightly shabby. The loo was blocked and the problem wasn't sorted out until after midnight (we checked in about 3.30 in the afternoon).

The resort was well serviced with 7 pools and 6 whirlpools. There were 9 restaurants. The food was very good in all the restaurants but I would recomment Baccarat and Crystal. Bars open in some part of the resort 24/7 and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Tipping not allowed so it was very hard to spend any money.

Plenty of sunbeds and towels provided. The main beach was a bit small but the private island was peaceful and not crowded.

All food and premium brand drinks were available when wanted. A large wet bar with full bottles of spirits was in the room.

A beautiful resort but I'm not sure I would want to visit some of the other Sandals resorts. The Bahamas Sandals was supposed to be the Caribbean's most elegent resort. It was nice but slightly shabby and rather like an upmarket Butlins.
