Grand Bahama

Pros: Beautiful beach, private, quiet, all-inclusive
Cons: Dull and lifeless

Club Fortuna Beach is an all-inclusive beach resort near Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. The resort is fairly secluded, located about 5 or 10 miles from the town. There are no other resorts of any consequence nearby, making it at once more private than...

Pros: all-inclusive. Beach Front. Lots of activities
Cons: What is with these rooms? Food gets old rather quickly...

In the tradition of the honeymoon, my new husband and I decided to escape the rain torrents of Ohio and run to the sun. Bahamas. That sounds good. That sounds really good.

We had a vacation voucher for Viva Club Fortuna, which is an...

Pros: Port Lucaya Marketplace is wonderful (although they don't haggle at the straw market)
Cons: nothing else of note, mostly generic forests, Freeport very run down and economically depressed

To my extreme disappointment, all but one Freeport shore excursion was cancelled at the last minute during my recent Bahamas cruise. The tour operators decided that at a mere 80 degrees out, it wasn't warm enough for any water activities be they boating ...

Pros: Beautiful beaches, wonderful hospitality, entertainment, gambling (which could be a CON!)
Cons: Venders could be quite persistent.

My husband and I never really got a honeymoon after we were married, so on Valentines of 1998 he surprised me with a planned vacation to the Grand Bahamas. We had never been anywhere tropical before, so this long awaited trip could not approach us...

Pros: The Staff
Cons: Rooms; restaurant on site; the bathroom

My husband I went to the Bahamas in March 2002 as a weekend get-away for my birthday. Unfortunately for us, we stayed at the Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club. First of all, there are many resorts that have "Lucaya" in the title, so I want to make sure...

Pros: Beautiful beaches, low $$ available
Cons: Can get a little boring if you don't know where to go for fun

Last April I went with my girlfriends to all-inclusive Club Fortuna on Grand Bahama Island. We happened to fall upon what we thought was a really good deal ($600/person included everything, flight from Boston, transfers, hotel, food & drinks for 4...

Pros: good prices, loads of fun, go with the flow
Cons: plan ahead

Grand Bahama Island is great if you do not expect to much. We have been 5 times and stayed at various properties. Favorite is the Port Lucaya Yacht club. Pretty much clean and decent service. Close to things to do, and close to the beach. Here are...

Pros: Tons of things to see and do, very friendly people, clean environment
Cons: getting on and off the ship takes forever! Watch out crossing the streets - they drive on the LEFT over there!

I just returned from one of the best vacations I've ever had. I would even venture to say it might rank number one. Definitely in the top three!

Our adventure began at 6:45 Friday morning, as our group gathered at the Discovery Cruise line in...

Pros: Wonderful island hospitality
Cons: My trip was too short!

Hey now, Mon... your boss may not suddenly announce that your company is treating the staff to a three-day getaway cruise to the Bahamas... like mine did! But even if you have to pay your own way, this place is definitely worth your visit....

Pros: none
Cons: too much money for very little in return

Freeport is a place that looks like someone started something about 20 years ago, forgot what they were doing and never finished it. We visited last year and were happy to leave. This is not a place to go and relax. The hotel properties are tired and...

Pros: Price/ Bahama Princess
Cons: No activities

I love to travel and Freeport Bahamas was one of my first Caribbean vacations. If you ever want to visit a tropical desert then Freeport is for you; or if you are stressed and want to get away from people this is also the vacation for you.

...

Pros: relaxing, almost empty beach during off season
Cons: boring night life

My husband and I just recently took our first trip to Grand Bahama Island and all I can say is that it was a nice relaxing getaway, but if you are looking for fun and excitement, you might want to look elsewhere. We took a direct flight out of...

Pros: Fun, lots of activites and good food
Cons: hot and little expensive

Ok, I am biased here. I admit it. My wife and I went to the Grand Bahamas island for our honeymoon.

Well our trip stared off on a bad foot. After getting of the plane our luggage was nowhere to be found. We were told that they would...

Pros: Very friendly people, beautiful beaches and resorts, lots of daytime activity
Cons: A lot more expensive than many other islands near/in the Caribbean, also lacking in nightlife

We arrived at Grand Bahama International airport early afternoon after a very long morning. It was very hot and muggy out, all we wanted to do was check into the hotel and go take a swim in one of the resorts four pools. And then we saw the lines for...

Pros: Very reasonable cost for what we got
Cons: Need better directional signs onboard

===singing=== Sailing, sailing, over the bounding waves... Planning a Bahamas vacation? You might want to seriously consider flying into Fort Lauderdale (unless you are fortunate enough to live here) and booking a cruise on Discovery! Just last...
