Where to begin? The shady location across Junkanoo Beach (of which there is no designated crosswalk, meaning you’re playing chicken every time you want to access the beach)? The cracked ceilings and tiles in the rooms? The indifferent front desk staff? The stained bath towels and blankets with cigarette burns? The lack of phones in the rooms? The spastic sink faucets that spray water all over the counter and mirror? And Wi-Fi access for $5 per hour??
I could go on and on with reasons not to stay here, but they will all reach the same conclusion: don’t stay here. It’s not worth it, even for the dirt cheap price, which it ultimately won’t be since you have to take a taxi to get anywhere ($30 one-way from the airport, $4 per person to Paradise Island, which is where all the entertainment is), plus pay for breakfast (complimentary at most of the other resorts) and purchasing international phone cards, which you can only use on the pay phone in the lobby (if there is a definition of bootleg…). This is a sad excuse for a motel and should be shut down. Thank God there were no bugs or rodents, though I suspect this had something to do with us being there in the winter. I don’t even want to imagine what the warmer seasons bring out.
Bottom line, spend a little extra to stay at a nicer place. If you can’t afford more than $90 for a room, you shouldn’t be vacationing in the Bahamas. Food in all restaurants is triple the cost (and twice as low in quality) and anything worth seeing or doing will require massive overspending.
