Flamingo Bay Yacht Club and Marina Hotel

I LOVED IT!
Reviewer: Bahamas visitor, Sarasota, FL

Definatly a different place now. We were there last year and didn't care for it. We always loved the location and pool, but not the rooms. Now its a whole new ballgame. Rooms are much larger and look new. And the lobby is completely redone. It looks like they tore it down and started over..its like a completely different resort..we didnt even recognize it when we pulled up. Higly recommended. Apparently they were bought out by a big hotel chain and the new owner put tons of cash into the place(he basically started over from scratch)


This place has really improved

Wow! This place has really improved. They have apparently put alot of money into renovation. I was here in late July 2003 and the place was a dump. It looks like a completely different hotel now. The rooms are immaculate..the hallways and lobby have a cool aztec jungle theme going on, and the pool is amazing(it always was though). I'm impressed...very nice.

My husband and I just returned a vacation package cruise to Freeport, Grand Bahamas and it was recommended by the agent that we stay at the Flamingo Bay Yacht Club. When we arrived we were in for the shock of our lives. The initial room we were assigned to had the most horrible musty smell, mold and mildew on the walls, sink and the floors were dirty. The room was just a regular room with a small rusty microwave, toaster and coffee pot situated in a little room that obviously used to be a part of the bathroom since the bathroom had to vent but this part did. There was no phone and we had to pay a twenty dollar deposit.

After being assigned another room, it was also musty but they sent a cleaning lady to clean up. When I looked behind the door, it had black mold or mildew, I asked her for her cleaning solution which contained a clorox solution and sprayed it on myself to show her that it comes off it wiped. We had no other choice but to stay there since we had to stay for 4 days. The toilet bowls contained mildew also. There was no restaurant on site but we had access to the one located across the street at the Ritz. The service there was so slow, the wait was normally one hour regardless to what you ordered. One morning (8 a.m.)I ordered 3 pancakes only and it took the same hour and I was the only one there except for a gentleman who ordered a cup of coffee. There was an open bar restaurant a little ways up the street but you had to go past vendors to get to it. They serve a breakfast buffet for $6.50 whereas the restaurant price was $10.00.

The hotel staff was very friendly and tried to help with all our issues. The hotel is situated in a secluded spot on Taino Beach so unless all you wanted to do was sit on the beach, swim or do other water sports there was basically nothing to do although the water ferry was located directly behind resort that took you into Lucaya (which is the place I will stay next time) for $3 each way. The Ritz across the street is a part of the same property, so you have access to the largest most incredible pool. The pool's depth is from 0-5 feet and has hot tub, cave bar with barstools in the water, water slide, hammocks.

Never again will I even consider staying at the Flamingo Bay Yacht Club. I'm still wondering how it got that name. I'm glad I brought along Frebreze and Lysol disinfectant and wipes. Transportation is a problem since there was not any public transportation from that part so you had to use taxis or the tour buses.
