TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

My Dad and I just got back from this resort. I am not an all inclusive type of traveler. I havent been to one in years. I find them crowded, impersonal and normally offering weak drinks and lackluster food. I also like to meet some locals when traveling, which doesn't often happen at AIs. The Breezes didn't have any of these issues though. It was quiet, real quiet! I liked that a lot. We didn't have to wait in line once for food or drinks. Somebody did steal my Dad's toast out of the toaster one morning though, hilarious! AI buffets are always SO whitewashed, offering minimal if any local eats. This is not the case here, plenty of delicious islander dishes being served up. The curried goat was my fave. Dont worry, still lots of burgers fries and pizza for people who like to eat as they do at home. All the food we ate was very very good, except the salmon at the garden of eden, I would have much preferred a fillet of local mutton snapper or something, but i get it, that isnt how AIs roll. The drinks were equally good! They have brand name liquors (you have to ask for it, tip well) and the Sands was always cold and fresh tasting out of all 3 taps. The bahama papa was our favourite cocktail. The beach was beautiful. The pool was nice too, although quite cool. We brought a cold front down with us, I would have been in the water more had the weather been warmer. The vast majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful, most definitely well above average in this department! Rooms were very clean, beds comfy, AC and TV worked, what more do you need? We upgraded to one of the poolside ground floor patios. I don't think I would stay here again if I wasnt able to book one of those, the "balconies" off the other rooms made me cringe! I really enjoyed the proximity to Bahamar casino, I even came home a winner! Dad lost to even it out lol. Yep, it's old (the old properties always have the best real estate). Yep, it smells (they all do)! Those are my only 2 "complaints". I would most definitely recommend the Breezes to anyone!

I visited Breezes Resort for the second time in December and it was amazing! The resort has a welcoming atmosphere and the staff are all great. Our rooms were fantastic and we booked a couples massage with the front desk which was spectacular. Highly recommend staying at Breezes, you won’t be disappointed!

Pros: Good value for an all-inclusive resort, beachfront location, plenty of lounge chairs available, day time activities, has an onsite tennis court and small fitness gym, free nightly entertainment, and beautiful garden grounds. Cons: The food is not that good. I would compare it to hospital cafeteria food. The costumer service at the restaurants is very poor. The entire property is in desperate need of repairs and updates. The entertainment was repetitive - the same performer the three nights we were there. They used to have complimentary kayaks and a trapeze years ago but they did not have them anymore when we stayed. Spring breakers and student groups are allowed. This was the second time I have stayed at this hotel, with my family, and I was very disappointed to see that it has become very run down compared to our first visit, about 12 years ago. I would describe it as a choice motel rather than a "resort." The worst part was that we were there during grad week so our trip was ruined by loud and rowdy teenagers and drunk young adults. Do yourself a favor and contact the hotel before booking to make sure you are not there when there are confirmed student groups. Despite its flaws, this location is still a good value for anyone wanting to have the Bahamas experience while on a tight budget. Just beware that, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for."

The actual workers are great and genuine. The management is horrible. We had a guest throw our beach bag in the pool as they were stumbling down drunk. They mid level management accused us of neglect of our bag. I spent two days finding out who did it. and then pushing the management to do something about it. Ms. Minn was dismissive and Ms. Frazer was smug and downright disrespectful. We were not allowed to talk to the general manager until day 3. He seemed to be better and promised to refund us for the time we lost doing their staffs work. I have yet to see it. I will be reaching out to Breezes corporate to let them know the story. All of this could have been avoided if the Management staff was trained better. Also while saying the grounds are smoke free, they do not enforce this and there was smoking all around. In the 4th floor all the rooms reeked of Pot. They also did not have half of the things outlined in the advertisement.. No Circus school, No Water Sports, ....etc It felt like a huge bait and switch.

This trip was an economical choice and it showed. The shower had very little water pressure and even would stop. The toilet handle broke. Our weather was bad or we would have been outside more. But even then it was a fight to find an umbrella. It was never a peaceful get away. The DJ or band was playing all the time. You couldn’t find a seat when the buffet was open. We had to eat with others just to have a place to sit. We had to pour our own drinks at dinner at service was lacking. Only when got up to find some silverware did they ask what we needed. It was like that at every meal. The only thing we enjoyed was the piano bar. Kudos on that but it’s not enough. We would not recommend this resort unless you are a spring breaker and you don’t care about flushing your money away. Next time I’ll spend more!.
