Even though we knew the island was small...having traveled to many places in the world that were also small and remote, the conditions throughout this island were very run down and dirty. And about the ocean view??? What ocean view?? Our view was blocked by a fence and we couldn't get our sliding glass door open to even sit out there if we wanted to. And as for the pool, the Ocean was clearer than the pool water. We thought since Bimini is known for it's fishing we would be able to have these great fish meals for dinner. Well, were we wrong. The food is imported and frozen and the only fresh fish you'll eat is if you catch it yourself. In addition, Bimini advertises kayaking, snorkeling etc., well, CALL AHEAD before you plan your trip to make sure there is someone available for these excursions. When we got there the tour guides were not available so there were no trips other than swimming with the dolphins which we did not want to do. So, if you're looking for lodging conditions that are acceptable to American Standards, we recommend the Bimini Sands Condos located in South Bimini. We took a $2.00 ferry to South Bimini and although these condos are not finished yet, the atmosphere is that of a 5-star quality.
