we had the best time. we are planning to go back next year with more friends. the food was really good and the staff was awesome... Shawny, Sean, Traveris, Ruby, Daniel, Tiny, Douglas, Antonio, and everyone else were awesome... cant wait to see you next year!!! my only complaint was the water was on the cold side but i used the hot tub... :o)

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a week at PIHR and glad to share our wonderful experience there !! We went there not knowing what to expect, due to mixed reviews we read beforehand . Our room was a little dated , but for what we wanted ... clean,adequate space a great view of the harbor, cruise ships ,Atlantis resort, and nice quiet sleeping on the 10th floor ! The staff , from Michelle& Lashelle at the front desk, to Antonio,Onero & Ronen at the door, to Antia &Montez at the poolside bar... were Amazing ! Friendly,helpfull, and informitive, they made our trip turn out wonderfull ! Dennis at the pool with Bahama Divers hooked us up with snorkeling, which was unbelievable ! This place is ideally located to go to beautiful Cabbage Beach, Atlantis, shops , the harbor, and to just take a walk ! The all-inclusive just made it just that more worthwhile to stay here ! Excellent drinks and food from beer to bahama drinks to burgers to yellowfin tuna suppers !!! Back on the diet now !! We would go back and stay here in a heartbeat ! Excellent value !!

My boyfriend and I traveled to Bahamas for the first time and absolutely loved it! We've been to Cuba and Dominican but Bahamas has taken our hearts. We loved this resort, especially the people and the food. The front desk clerks were incredibly polite and went out of their way to help make us comfortable during our stay. The bellboys, Antonio and Denaro were helpful, fun and very friendly! The housekeeping staff were welcoming and did a fine job at keeping our rooms tidy and sand free! The activities members, especially Sean, Shawny, and Tavaris became very personable with us and looked forward to us joining in on the beach volleyball games, dancing, and overall just hanging out and having a great time. All of the chefs and waiters/waitresses, the omelette lady were very sweet and quick at their job. Not to mention the FOOD was INCREDIBLE!!!! Fresh vegetables, salads, chicken, BBQ'd steak, wings, mixed salads, desserts... everything! We didn't miss a meal due to the quality and variety. The BEACH (Cabbage beach) was a walking distance of 10-15 mins and was full of vendors and the waves were too huge to enjoy the water. We didn't last very long there. We enjoyed the man-made beach directly on the resort, NIce and quiet, the servers would bring us drinks and food, and the water was calm as we watched boats sail by. The pool was good too, large and never over-crowded. No complaints here! As goes for tourist attractions, we checked out the straw market - nothing special, just crafts and trinkets. The Bahamians are always trying to sell for more than the products are worth so just barter with them. We checked out the Atlantis during the day because we bought a $35 sea-lion experience. This was great because it got us into the atlantis without paying a hefty $125 for the day. We walked around, checked out the beach and saw the sea lions and dolphins! Cameras are allowed! The Atlantis is FREE after 6:30pm and you can go in and look at the massive underground aquarium, and shark tank called Predators Lagoon - a must see - The place is really neat all lit up at night. Makes for a romantic stroll and only a 5 minute walk from harbour resort. Also check out the casino. We also did a BOOZE CRUISE.. a vendor on the beach sold us our tickets for $55 each where as at the hotel, they charge WAY MORE for excursions!!! This cruise was wicked fun. Lots of booze, dancing, food, snorkeling and views of the island. Every single person we met on this trip made everything worth while!.
If we were to critique- I'd say the bed in our room was awful. So outdated and uncomfortable - and I am not a picky person. We paid $1050 each all inclusive and encountered one of the best trips we've ever been on. We will definitely be back if the price is still right after renovations in June-December. <3 I could go on and on about more details but go find out for yourselves~!!

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay at the Paradise Island Harbor Resort from Jan 28, 2013 until Feb. 4, 2013. He had read some bad reviews about the place so are expectations were not great. However, it was wonderful. Yes, the rooms need some updating but they were clean and spacious. The all inclusive deal was fantastic. The buffet always had fresh vegetables and fruit and choices of meat and fish. The drinks were plentiful and good. The greatest thing was the staff. Shawny and Sean led the activities. They were perfect for the job. What outstanding personalities and enthusiasm. Even Alfred who doesn't get much credit selling his cigarettes was pleasant and fun. We walked to Atlantis, where the rich and famous must go, and couldn't wait to get back to our quiet, fiendly, and homey resort. Thank you to all who made our trip the best. It's the best deal for your money!!!!
