We needed a place to stay for one night before our boat charter began and chose Island Breezes because of their reasonable rates. The rooms were fine - very clean with a KIng size bed, a/c, microwave and small refridgerator. We were able to do all our provisioning for the boat and keep the cold food in the fridge. It was less expensive than the other small motels in Marsh Harbour and within walking distance of all the best restaurants. All in all, a good place to stay for the price.

This is my fourth year to stay here at the Island Breezes. You can depend on getting a large, clean, quiet room for a reasonable rate. It is not luxurious, but it serves the purpose. There are eight rooms in this small one floor establishment. You get a small refrigerator and microwave if have need of that. The room has AC, a cable TV, and Wi-FI. There are several nice restaurants within a short walk of the place. I would recommend Jamie’s Place. It is a family friendly, easy going, affordably priced restaurant which offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This was perfect for our group of 18 Boy Scouts. Rooms were clean, AC was perfect. You could walk to multiple amenities, grocery store, restaurants, Marina. You can walk to the SeaBase meet up area. The picnic area was perfect for our group. The price was good. You have to call them as they don't have a good online/website.
We used a rollaway cot which was readily available

We had booked one night at Island Breezes after arriving from Canada via Nassau and prior to moving into our rental place at Treasure Cay. I had checked out the photos and comments on line and thought it might be a decent place for one night. Was I wrong!
The room was in desolate shape, smelled mouldy and no lights working. The real issue for me started when I pulled back the quilt and looked at the sheets of our king bed.
Stained and not clean at all. We refused to stay and the ft. desk agent who a tenant in the room next to ours was kind enough to call was willing to refund us our money.
We had paid $149 and in no way did this room reflect this!!!
With the help of a wonderful taxi driver named Donna Bain we found a last minute place in Treasure Cay for the night and she went all out to take us there late that night.With the help of a wonderful taxi driver named Donna Bain we found a last minute place in Treasure Cay for the night and she went all out to take us there.

Good day, Apologies for just seeing your review now. I am unsure why lighting was not working in the unit as we keep spare bulbs at the office as our local power does tend to blow them often. We also last season added light fixtures to the fans to give the rooms more lighting however they were an add on feature to the existing fans so the strings have to be pulled for them to come on at the switches perhaps this was the case? Uncertain on the sheets though as they are washed after every departure and every 2 days during occupancy and we inventoried and threw out all soiled sheets etc. spring this year and purchased many new linens and towels. Are you able to identify which room please we'd like to check out the moldy smell as that could pose a health hazard and we have had 90% full occupancy at the hotel March - current and haven't had anyone else mention this so would want to ensure this is not still a problem to create a health issue. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, I'm glad you were able to be refunded and also that Mrs Donna was able to assist with you getting you to your destination and find a one night accommodation there. Thanks Lydia Hill for Dale H

Always stay at island breezes when I'm in Abaco.

The hotel is on a strip that has lots of eateries and shops that are within walking distance of the hotel. Each room has a microwave, mini fridge, iron and ironing board. The hotel also now has free wifi in the rooms which is a great.

Thank you for taking the time to review the hotel, your comments are really appreciated . Its great to know that you always stay at the hotel when on Abaco. I recently married the owner and have been assisting with public relations and helping him with some new ideas for renovations and updates as well as getting the old info corrected online. We have just gained access to tripadvisor so I was finally able to respond to some of the reviews and we are working hard to get rid of all of the old contact information emails etc. online and update everything. A recent review alerted me to the fact that internet was not working as it should, speed tests revealed an issue with Cable Bahamas that will be corrected by them and then we are also going to put in repeaters so all of the rooms have a stronger signal. Are there any other updates you can advise that are relevant to the price of the hotel in comparison with others at that price locally. In 2012 the owner had asked my opinion on some updates as I manage and rent 30+ private homes, and at my suggestion he added the mini fridge, microwave and coffee pots with free condiments as well as hair dryers and bathroom accessories on another review I did for him. This years updates we are hoping to include a gazebo to the back of the property in the wooded area, a hammock and if budget allows a splash pool/hot tub. I suggested luggage racks and black out curtains also. Other ideas/suggestions welcome.

Island Breezes Motel provided a very satisfactory place - minimalist interior, but clean and well laid out. Apparently they are under new management. The location is 1 minute from the Moorings Marina and several restaurants. The staff was helpful but there is no website. They are really only available via phone (which I probably can't post) or email at islandbreezes at coralwave dot com. All the taxi drivers knew where we were talking about.

The price is pretty good and the location can't be beat.

Rooms were large, comfortable, and clean, with minimal decorations. Fridge, coffee, bottled water (2), and microwave were nice to have. On one side there is a nice covered common deck are for meeting with friends and relaxing. The location is good, as it is only a short walk, maybe .1 miles, from the Moorings and popular restaurants. Java is a great spot for breakfast, M-F, .1 miles in the other direction. I was a little worried because of the other reviews, but this place is a great local value. We called to make the reservation and called again a few days before arrival, just to confirm our arrival time. They don't seem to use email or their web site much at all.

The Island Breezes has clean comfortable rooms without much in the way of frills or extras. No pools, restaurants, fitness center, manicured grounds, or amenities in the room. They do have free Wi-Fi and TV, but that is about it. The location is central on the main street in town.. Your are within walking distance of several nice restaurants and shops. The staff is helpful and friendly. The price is much less than some of the alternatives.
