Great birthday trip
enaughtonsr (New York City, New York) on Mar 23, 2024
Just completed 3 night stay at the Warwick, it exceeded my expectations. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and had a great night. Dinner was at the outdoor grill area, with a beautiful view of the harbor. They staff sang happy birthday to my wife and made her feel special. The waiter and service at the Italian restaurant were very good and we also enjoyed the food at the buffet. We did shots at the pool bar and had fun. The timing was good, did not notice any spring breakers. I knew the beach was small man-made so I wasn’t disappointed. Thanks to Marvin at front desk for giving us a room (1204) with a beautiful view. Bartenders can make any drink you want, not just the ones on the menu.
Not a Four Star resort (more of a Two Star property) - Caters to High School and College Spring Break crowd -
ksgoldman (Cape Coral, Florida) on Mar 23, 2024
I wanted to like this place and was expecting something it is not. When you market yourself as "the newest four star resort in the Bahamas" and then you find it's really a run down two star property, you feel cheated. Two positives before I provide the details. 90% of their employees are great and are very service oriented (10% should not be in guest facing positions). The food is good for an all inclusive hotel (7.5 out of 10). This is a two star (not a four star) hotel that reminds me of an old Holiday Inn from the 1970's. The facility is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. What really irritates me is that they say that they are adults only and then we find out that they cater to high school and college students (16 years and older) on Spring Break. Furthermore they sell day passes to cruise ship passengers (meaning that you are competing for poolside space) with people not even staying at the hotel. We were shocked to arrive and find a large group of High School kids on a spring break program called Grad City that books 16 year olds (not adults in my opinion) four to a room. Then we found the pool area overloaded with college kids also on Spring Break (again four to a room). If you call yourself a "Four Star" hotel (and I've stayed in many Four Star hotels all over the world and this isn't even close), then why would you cheapen the experience by encouraging High School and College Spring Break kids to your resort. Selling day passes to cruise ship passengers tells me that you really don't care about your guests paying $800 a night and just want to maximize every dollar you can get from anyone who can pay. If you really want to be an upscale resort, fix the facility and don't book rooms to more people than the number of beds in a room (no four to a room). Also don't say you are "adults only" and then allow 16 year olds to stay at. your hotel (I book adult only resorts because my kids are grown and I don't want to be around other people's kids). We had the biggest room and the bathroom is tiny and dark (and falling apart). The windows looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a few years. There is no storage in the bathroom (the sink area is very small). The bathtub had been repainted several times (and was peeling). Who still puts bathtubs in nicer hotels? The lighting in the bathroom is horrible (there is an extendable mirror but it's not lit). The sink faucet and shower faucet were both broken. The wooden pool deck areas were full of splinters. The chaise lounges were 10 years past their end of life and really needed to be replaced (they had been repainted but that didn't cover up the fact that they were in bad shape). The concrete balcony off our room was spalling. The furniture in our room had been repainted several times and was in need of replacement. The drinks are a disappointment. Bottom shelf liquor and very watered down. A number of their employees are not happy in the service industry and it shows (many had a clear chip on their shoulders). The majority of employees were great. The bad ones really ruined it for us. I learned a very important lesson from this trip. Before you book any resort Google the resort name and Spring Break to see if they cater to the Spring Break crowd. Also check to see if the resort sells day passes. Both of these issues really irked me. If Warwick Paradise Island wants to cater to the Spring Break and daytripper crowd, then pick that as your market. Don't lie to guests and call yourself a four star resort. Also, invest in the property (or tear it down and start over).

Nice hotel, friendly staff with good food
Jachad5 on Mar 20, 2024
The Warwick is a lovely hotel, with a manmade beach opposite the harbour. The rooms are spacious, we got an upgrade to a balcony suite with full pool and harbour view, with a free Warwick beach bag thrown in. The mini fridge is stocked with wine, beer and water and are replenished every day, along with crips which is a nice touch. The bathroom was clean, although the bath wasn’t very big. The food in the buffet is good, lots of choice, and the waiters are very friendly. We are in the Edgewater Grill but it was disappointing, the service wasn’t great we had our main course brought out before we had even finished our starters, and the food was overcooked and cold, in my opinion the buffet is better. They have quite a noisy bar area in the evening, it’s a shame they don’t leave the outside pool bar open past 6pm, at least then you could have a quieter area to get a drink in the evenings without having to keep going back in. We had a beach BBQ once evening which was really tasty, and a seafood night with crab claws, prawns, clams, etc, all very well presented and tasty. On the whole the hotel is nice, the pool is large, and they have lots of chairs in various areas. For us, the only disadvantage was that we really didn’t seem like we was in the Bahamas as the harbour isn’t as picturesque as a large beach with amazing ocean views, however, they do a shuttle every 30 minutes daily to Cabbage Beach which is truly amazing, and more like the Bahamas I wanted to see.
Spring Break fun at the Warwick
flatwhite10 (Westport, Connecticut) on Mar 19, 2024
We booked a 4 night stay here for Spring Break - 8 moms plus 10 boys. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. This is not really a "party" resort and I found my room to be pretty quiet. There are always chairs available by the pool or beach. The beach is not great because it faces the busy waterfront with container ships and booze cruises passing by daily. But we took the shuttle twice to Cabbage Beach and loved it over there. We did a few of the organized activities and they were fun - yoga, Zumba, pickle ball. The staff are for the most part great. The entertainment coordinators were so fun and social, so even our boys participated in party games by the pool or bar. The resort is about an 8 minute walk from Atlantis, so it worked out very well for our boys to enjoy the all inclusive food and drink at the Warwick and then head to Atlantis for gambling and the nightclub. The food was fine. The breakfast and lunch buffets were actually better than I expected, with plenty of fresh fruit, a big salad bar and an egg/omelette station. I also loved the cappuccino machine in the lobby. The restaurant food was pretty good too, although slow and the process for getting a reservation is a little annoying. Do this the first day you arrive! Like most all inclusives, I could not find any wine that I liked and the drinks are served in plastic cups outside. My room was just OK. It was a "premium" room with a balcony, but the AC had a lot of problems. Most of the time it was freezing cold but very humid and so everything was wet, especially the floor. The safe was broken. But housekeeping was very nice and came every day to clean. Sometimes the shower water was just lukewarm. All in all, this is a good, budget-friendly place to stay on Paradise Island.
