BAHAMA HOUSE

The experience was good, we really had a great time, the hotel sits on the beach, it was quiet & peaceful.

The hotel itself over all is not of poor quality currently speaking and in oppion only, Front desk personal so far is pleasant speaking as well thus far. Tho I however do apon small brief experience do know the housekeeping supervisors lack integrity and decency for there staff and inconspicuously the quests of the hotel that they would like to remain undocumented for possibly fear of absolute termination if it were to happen in another field of employment. That department needs some education on the serious matters of do's and dont's of cleaning products and hazzords of poison control. inconclusively with that being mentioned have a lovely stay it does infact have good qualities and personal who take pride work hard aiming to please you with your necessities during your stay old and new employees not all are slackers due to a few bad apples.

I stayed at Bahama House for 3 nights during spring break with my children. Overall we had a great time. The hotel is right on the beach, the pool was heated, and there is a hot tub. It was in a good location, near downtown and other “non-beach” activities. The hotel provides pool towels (super small, keep that in mind), and many of the guests leave toys, etc so other children can play with them. I thought this was cool as the kids had a variety of toys to keep them occupied.

The hotel has free breakfast and a free cocktail hour daily. The breakfast is alright. They had pancakes, yogurt, fruit, had boiled eggs, and cereal. The coffee was surprisingly good, and there was also juice and water available. Keep in mind none of these items are available outside of breakfast hours. So if you want milk, for example, grab during breakfast because they literally lock the refrigerator otherwise. The cocktail hour is great. There is beer, wine, and sodas available. You can get as many as you want during the hour.

I thought the room was great. I chose an ocean view room with a mini fridge/microwave. I chose this room as I wanted more of an ocean view. It was the same price as a partial ocean view with a full kitchen, but the view was more important to me. I learned ocean view is not the same as ocean front, so my view wasn’t what I expected, but it was still great. My only two problems were that the pillows were extremely soft, no firmness at all, and there was no tub. Oh, also, the toilet didn’t have a lid. I prefer to close the toilet lid when flushing so this was definitely a negative for me.

Two nights in a row I had an issue with the night shift front desk lady (same woman both nights). The first night I was trying to get a fork so I wanted to see if the breakfast area had something available. She didn’t even get up from her chair which was in the doorway of their back office, not even close to the front desk. She told me she didn’t know if there were any forks and made no other effort to assist me. The next incident was the following night when my kids and I got stuck in the elevator. I asked her if they were going to fix the elevator as there were only two for the whole hotel, and again, didn’t get up from her chair in the doorway and basically told me “they” were doing everything they could.

Back to the elevator situation. We were stuck in the elevator for about 5-7 minutes and when it was opened, the maintenance man immediately started berating us for getting stuck in the elevator. There are signs in the elevator stating not to hold the door open by the door, but only using button inside of the elevator. So he accused us of holding the doors open incorrectly, causing us to get stuck. It left a terrible taste in my mouth and hated being treated that way as a guest.

I would’ve given this hotel 4 stars, but after the treatment from the elevator maintenance man and the night shift front desk woman, this definitely went down to a 3.

Wir waren so enttäuscht von dem Hotel, dass wir bereits nach 2 Nächten in ein anderes Hotel umgezogen sind, obwohl wir bereits für 7 Nächte bezahlt hatten. Die Bilder entsprechen nur vage der Realität. Das Zimmer war dunkel und man musste selbst am Tag Licht an machen. Die Fenster sind mit einer Folie beklebt, die diesen Effekt noch verstärkt. Sobald die Sonne weg ist, ist es dunkel. Am späten Nachmittag/Abend kann man kaum raus schauen. Das Bad war zwar modernisiert, aber es wurde an einem Klodeckel gespart, sodass man sich vorkam wie auf einer öffentlichen Toilette. Aus dem Fußbodenabfluss kam muffiger Geruch. Die Betten (2 Queensize) waren stark beansprucht. Die Bettwäsche dünn, sodass man die schmuddelige Tagesdecke verwenden musste. Die Aussicht auf den Atlantik ist wunderbar und das Beste an diesem Hotel. Die Bilder in Buchungsportalen wurden aus meiner Sicht geschönt. So hat man die Balkontür aufgelassen, um den Raum heller wirken zu lassen. Die Klimaanlage ist alt aber sehr laut, die Balkone haben bei starkem Wind so laut geklappert, dass an Schlaf nicht zu denken war. Das Frühstück auf den Bildern entspricht ebenfalls nicht den Tatsachen! Es ist alles in Plastik verpackt und man isst von Styropor-Geschirr überhaupt nicht zeitgemäß. Dafür gibt es keine Kontrollen ob man überhaupt zum Hotel gehört, weder beim Frühstück, noch am Pool! Dieser ist recht klein aber beheizt! Liegen sind vorhanden aber nicht ausreichend und Schirme stehen nur an Tischen zur Verfügung. Über den Strand kamen Fremde in die Anlage zum Schwimmen und Duschen. Die Türen sind alles andere als sicher! Die Balkontür lies sich einfach aufdrücken.
Positiv sind: freundliche Mitarbeiter, kostenlose Parkplätze und die Lage! Für uns hat dies nicht ausgereicht um über die Mängel hinweg zu sehen!

Bahama House was a very basic hotel. Its only positive attribute is its location (oceanfront). The beds were old and worn, the restrooms smelled of mildew and although we stayed multiple nights, our room was never cleaned nor were clean towels offered. One attempt to nap on a rainy afternoon was hampered by loud talking, horseplay and whatnot in the hallway. When I went to ask the kids to quiet down, I was surprised to find it was hotel staff making all the noise. Perhaps if staff were more concerned with cleaning rooms than having fun, my room would have been serviced? Oh, and the digital TV worked horribly. As soon as you tune a station the reception freezes, making for no watchable TV. We won't be back.
