We decided to rent a boat slip instead of getting a room, but our friends who came along mentioned that the rooms were spacious, tidy, and extremely cozy. We plan on coming back soon, and this time we'll extend our stay.

Coral beach
10 Claudia Vetti

This stunning beach is a true gem, with its pristine sands and crystal-clear waters that will take your breath away. It's a place where you can truly unwind and soak up the natural beauty of your surroundings. Whether you're lounging in the sun, taking a refreshing dip in the ocean, or simply strolling along the shore, you'll find yourself completely immersed in the tranquility of this idyllic location. It's no wonder why so many people fall in love with this beach - it's simply irresistible!

Silver Point beach

This was our third visit to Island Seas and each time we go, it seems to be in a more dilapidated state and the quality of service continues to decline. We have decided that we will not be returning in the future. We had to change rooms because the first one had a strong smell of mold and mildew. When we arrived, the shower curtain was inside the bathtub and despite reporting it, it still hadn't been fixed even after four hours when we returned. The front desk didn't have a blanket for the pull-out couch. On one morning, we were informed that there were only three pool towels available and were asked to check back later. The convenience store was not open during the hours that were posted. When I inquired about it after a few days, I was told that the store operates separately. However, when someone else asked, they were informed that the convenience store had closed down. Even simple requests like asking for ice became a complicated ordeal. The front desk instructed us to bring our ice bucket to the bar, but we didn't have one and they refused to provide a bag for the ice. Eventually, we were directed to the restaurant for ice. These are just a few examples of the poor communication, service, and overall experience.

East Palm beach
10 Jerry Masek

While preparing for our third visit to Grand Bahama Island, I conducted my usual research, which included using Google Maps to locate the beaches I wanted to explore this time. East Palm Beach happened to be conveniently situated just five minutes away from our resort, although it took a bit of effort to find it. Nonetheless, the map guided us directly to the beach. It truly is the most stunning beach I have ever encountered. The water possesses an exquisite shade of blue, the sand feels as soft as powder, and there were only a handful of other individuals present. Not only was the beach immaculately clean, but the water also remained incredibly tranquil. I am eagerly looking forward to revisiting it in the near future.

Barbary beach

That place is absolutely amazing! It has golden fine sand that stretches out for miles, creating a beautiful and serene atmosphere.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 5 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
