Anything would have been better than the horrible we were staying at. so we were forced to stay here and im glad we made that choice! it was so clean and immaculate. the only bad thing is that the rooms had like an enclosed smell but it was nothing big we just kind of opened the doors and windows and let the room air out. i would recommend this hotel to anyone

Pros:
If you want to be literally within a few steps from everything, this is the place to stay. We had a balcony with a nice marina view and were literally right next to the Port Lucaya Marketplace (a fantastic place with shops, straw markets, restaurants, bars, and live music and dancing in the square every night). The rooms were well sound-proofed so that we barely heard the music from the marketplace at night from inside our room. We could sign up for all sorts of beach activities (e.g., snorkeling, kayaking, horseback riding, dinner cruises) at the various kiosks by the marina. The beach was a short walk across the street through the Our Lucaya resort.

Amenities:
The room had tile floors and came with a microwave and mini-fridge, in addition to the standard iron and wimpy hotel blowdryer (I would strongly suggest bringing your own hairdryer (don't need an electric outlet converter) because they're the old kind that barely blow out any air). The bathroom wasn't fancy but clean enough for beach lodging. They only provide bar soap, so bring or buy your own shampoo/conditioner and lotion.

Con:
My only complaint was with housekeeping; our room wasn't cleaned until around 5 or sometimes later each day, i.e., the typical vacationer's naptime. So it was a little frustrating to be woken up or have to wait around for clean towels. They were also hard to reach by phone, but the front desk was fairly quick to respond if you told them what you needed (make sure to tell them you couldn't reach housekeeping or else they'll just transfer your call).

Last Tip:
During spring break season this is where all of the college springbreakers stay. But they were surprisingly non-disruptive and usually gone during the day. Their main haunt was the pool, but that was fine since we preferred the actual beach anyway.

The grounds were immaculate the pool sparkling clean. Maintenance were always around working, security was always close by. It was quite for the most part. Your a short walk from the beach and can see the market place from the backside of your room. If you go by the police station and take that route to the beach you will avoide all theaggresive people. If you want privacy walk down the path to billy joe's snack bar and walk away from the resorts. Rum Runner's is the bar to go to and you have to try Agave for lunch or dinner. Great prices for great food. Do not go to pieces. Staff is not friendly, food is to expensive for what you get. Do not try Le Med. Terrible service, I wanted another ice tea and the server told me I didn't need one and gave us the bill. Good thing I have a good sinse of humor. Get a cab and go over to Banana beach beautiful beach with no one around plus a little bar and grill. Everything is sooooooo expensive like you hear, a gallon of milk is $8.00 PB is $6.00 isf you can pack a can opener wine openier will save you some money. Having a few before you go out helps out. Put extra washcloths away and towels there was a few times our room didnot get cleaned. It was a great two weeks and for the price we would go back. Have fun Also the bar is closed and will not be open for the future

We attended a convention that was held at the Our Lucaya Westin/Sheraton resort. We're a small company, and the rates were really high, so we looked for ways to save money and still attend the convention. On the map it looked like the Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club was very close by, and it was a lot cheaper. This turned out to be such a great find. We booked through Grand Bahama Vacations and got an airfare/hotel deal that was unbelievable. The Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club is great! There's a large pool, a great view of the yachts in the marina, and it's right next to the marketplace where all the restaurants and entertainment is located, including Count Basie Square. All we had to do was walk over to the other resort to attend the convention. The room was clean and pleasant, the beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's not right on the beach but the beach is a very short walk - right across the street. Highly recommended!

I was a bit sceptical when i first booked a 4 days, 3 night cruise with discovery cruises to Grand Bahama Island and i didnt expect much, to be honest.

The cruise was decent. Pretty old ship, an annoying entertainer and the included food was simply horrible. It was alright though, if you keep in mind that it was only 200$ for the whole trip (cruise plus hotel).

Arriving at the hotel i was like Wow. A guy drove our luggage and us from the front desk to our room with a golf cart. Big rooms, only furnished with the essentials but clean. The poolarea was in a good shape and pretty spacious.

Our room was literally 10ft away from the beautiful marina where you can find nice little restaurants (really expensive though), shops and bars. I totally loved the beach which is only a 5 minute walk away from the hotel.

People who want a luxurious accommodation should stay at the Sheraton or the Wyndham - for all the others, this hotel is totally worth it!
