 Running Mon is now Sunrise Resort and Marina. Visited: October 2009 |

My friend and I wanted a weekend getaway where we could slip away from it all. We hopped on our boat looking for Running Mon, but learned that the owners changed the name and the property is up and running. We found the property to be clean, cozy, and comfortable; and the staff to be the most courteous. We met the General Manager, the fashionable and gracious Ta'Shar Cuccurullo. Her staff calls her "Mrs. C." They went out of their way to help us with everything. The free amenities more than made up for the distance from town. We used the kayak, worked out in the gym, did a little fishing and were even able to check our e-mail all for free. Would will definitely visit again. Sunrise Resort and Marina is now our home away from home when we visit Grand Bahama Island. |

 You'll find family fun at Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach. Visited: February 2009 |

This resort has one of the most gorgeous beaches you will ever visit. There were plenty of activities to participate in - especially for my three children (ages 10,12,and 14). Also, I think my American kids enjoyed hanging out with people from all over the world. The rooms were clean but uneventful. The staff was friendly and became part of the family. The check in can be difficult. The food was plentiful, and you can always find something that will please every family member. The pizza at night was tremendous! The drinks were well worthy, but after 3-4 you can't tell the difference. The walks along the beach were great, too. We have been back eight different times. |

I really suggest you stay at another resort on Paradise Island and just do a day-trip to Atlantis. You'll get far more for your money. You'll get the essence of Atlantis and avoid overpriced rooms, overpriced meals, overpriced photos and bling. Atlantis is not a magical dream maker. It is a private money-maker, hungry for your next credit card swipe. If you decide to go, you'll be hit by a whole list of what might be unexpected charges--something like a cruise ship with its excursions and tips but far more expensive. Not only that, but the employees are short on smiles and helpfulness. You'll find that only when you have your credit card or cash in hand. So bring money, and plenty of it. Also, bring your own vacation enthusiasm, as Atlantis has its own priorities: money, money, money. |

 I got food poisoning. Visited: October 2009 |

I stayed here two days, and somewhere along the line I got food poisoning. The resort was amazing, and everything was really nice. However, I would never ever go back because of the food problem I had. I ate at Nobu, Marketplace, Johnny Rockets and Murray's Deli. Now that I think of it, any of those meals could have caused it because they all tasted and seemed "off". I suggest you go to Vegas instead. |

It was amazing. The staff was extremely nice, and I'm still friends with some of them. It was beautiful and well worth the money spent to stay here. I will never forget Musha Cay, and I hope to go back one day. |

I would definitely stay here again. They had great rooms, a wonderful location, and the price was good. There were two pools and the ocean for swimming. It was close to anything and everything. We also received great service. The wedding on the beach here was beautiful, too. If you are coming to the Bahamas, look up Captain Kirk! |

We stumbled upon Cocodimama after touring multiple hotels on the island. We were completely blown away. It was modern, fresh, stylish, romantic, comfortable, clean, beautiful and just perfect. The beds were amazing; the beach was superb; the restaurant was delicious; and the staff, owners, bartender and management were all fantastic. I recommend it all around as the ideal place to stay. I can't wait to go back. |

The pictures on the internet were completley misleading. As far as this hotel, or should I say "motel", the first thing that came to mind was "disgusting". The room had this old musty smell, and the AC until blew hot air. This was not a nice place at all. |

We stayed in the Royal Towers, and enjoyed a room with a great view. We watched the yachts, the sunsets, and the sunrises! The hotel staff was very attentative, and the food was great. The Bahamians were friendly, the room was very clean, and we felt safe. In addition, the casino was fantastic! Slots paid! The blackjack dealers were kind of slow, but fun! It was more friendly here than in Atlantic City. The dealers were very friendly, and we felt comfortable playing. This will be a yearly vacation for sure. It was our fifth trip! |

It took one hour to check in, yet another full hour to get my luggage. The room was filthy. There was large machinery on the beach blocking the view. It was impossible to get a drink in the bar - or for that matter a glass of tea with a meal. They served liquor I have never heard of. The employees were rude, impossilby slow, and distracted. I called the manager three times, and never recived a call back. I will never return to any Sandals - at any price. |

The Comfort Suites was a great deal, and we had an amazing time! It was cheaper than staying at Atlantis, but we still got full access to everthing Atlantis had to offer! It was right on the property, so we didn't have to walk far. We could also buy drinks at Atlantis with our Comfort Suites room key. I am staying here again this year, and I strongly recommend it to others! Happy travels! |

I came here with my girlfriend, my brother, and his girlfriend. When we first got here, it took literally five hours to get our room. They wouldn't put the bags in a seperate room while we were waiting for a room, so we had to constantly go back over there and check them. The rooms were okay. They were definitely rooms older guests would not enjoy. I am 20 years old, so it was okay for me. Some of the staff were rude, but most were cool. Drinks were weak, but enough of them would get you silly. The best thing for me was that there were a lot of people our age (20-30). We met some good people on this trip, which made it enjoyable. The price also wasn't bad for what we got. The buffet every night was okay. We didn't get a chance to do reservations for the two inclusive restaraunts because we could only do it between 10-11 am (which didn't make sense). I would say overall it was a good time. If you are young and ready to party, you will like it. |

Over six years ago, we had the pleasure of finding the perfect getaway to excape the hectic pace of Wall Street. I promised myself I would never let out the secret, as I did not want the property "changed" from too many guests who do not respect this little piece of heaven. After our sixth year and with all the noted popularity it has recieved, we found again that it is as pristine and just as welcoming, if not more so, than our first time there. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You'll have no doubt of the beauty this place holds, and the quality of the service they provide. It is consistent from the top all the way down. We have traveled a lot, but here we have found our home. |

The owners and staff of Cocodimama are top notch. If you've never been to Eleuthera before, let me tell you excellent customer service is rare there. The cottages were right on the water, cutely furnished and extremely clean (another rarity in Eleuthera). The food at the restaurant was amazing - we had fresh snapper, homemade pasta, great fresh salads and pineapple tart - all superb. The beach at the resort (Alabaster Beach) was stunning - we found tons of conch shells, starfish and sand dollars. We're very much looking forward to staying at Cocodimama next year. |

| Beware of this resort. Visited: May 2009 |

The good news is, yes, I survived the trip. The bad news is, besides the weather, nothing else was really good about the trip. My mom, my friend, and I were all surprised that Apple Vacations would represent this hotel. From what I heard about resorts, this was nothing like it. As far as our room went - the bathroom fan didn't work; our view was of some sort of giant dump next door; the room and hotel smelled of mildew; and the ceiling was black from filth. In addition, the shower had mildew; the sheets were stained; the refrigerator didn't work; and there were cracks in the window. When we asked for a room change, initially we were told we were already upgraded and had to speak with an Apple representative. We called home immediately and told my dad about this. He said that he would call the travel agent first thing in the morning. At 9:00 a.m. the following morning I received a text from my dad asking what room number we were in and that an Apple representative would be in touch shortly - shortly being 11:00 a.m. When the Apple representative called, they had no answers for us about hotel/resort openings or about room changes in our own hotel. We were then told that she would call us back after she checked availability, and in the meantime for us to see about a room change again. This time we were granted a chance to switch rooms. However, when we went to check out the other room, the only difference was that the view was better. By 11:30 a.m. we were tired of wasting our time in the Bahamas, and wanted to go see the area. We went downstairs and spoke with a Majestic Tours representative who got us in touch with Apple only to find out that nothing was available. As far as restaurants went, there was one "fine dining restaurant" if you would call it that. The food was mediocre at best, and the stained seats just topped it off. The other choices for food were the pool bar with an extremely limited menu, and a buffet (which was really a cafeteria) with, yet again, mediocre food and limited selections. Oh, and the nightly entertainment was one night with crotches, chests, and bottoms hanging out. The male dancer had a giant hole in his crotch while doing Michael Jackson movements. The female dancers had spandex outfits on where their bras and underpants were hanging out. The private lagoon was really nice... not! It was a tiny, dirty-looking area where numerous boats drove by daily. It's pretty bad when almost every other party we ran into here was unsatisfied. One poor girl was even in tears. Better yet, an employee of Majestic Tours asked us how we got stuck here (we were stuck here because of swine flu - we were supposed to be in Mexico). She told us how she wouldn't want to be stuck here either. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Apple shouldn't recommend it to their customers, either. If they do, one of them should have to go and stay at this paradise "dump" (this term was passed down by another unhappy vacationer). We spent together a combination of $2,400 - and for what I don't know. |

I thought I checked the reviews carefully, but didn't. If you like the following - Breezes Bahamas is for you. Get into check in line at hotel and wait until it's your turn. Be prepared for a long wait even though the line looks short. The front desk personal are real inefficient, as if it was their first time checking in guests. "No" is an answer for any and all questions/requests you may have from front desk personal. Be prepared to wait an hour or more for your luggage that you were told would be there before you got to hotel. Luggage travels on a separate bus! You can drink as much liquor as you want, as long as it's cheap inexpensive liquor. There were no premium brands, and the well liquor was pretty bad. For food, there are four options: 1) Buffet. If you prefer your food cold and unappealing, this is the place for you. You'll also find that they run out of many of the items and are reluctant to replace. Plus, once you have your food, you'll need to find a clean table - which is difficult. They leave dirty dishes on the tables until some guests ask them to clean the table and bring fresh silverware and coffee. 2) Outdoor Grill. One of the better options for eating - just don't look to see how clean it is, cause it's not! They have hot dogs, hamburgers, salads and things. 3) Pastafari. It was really so bad that it's funny. 4) Eden. It's not bad - just not good. Mediocre is the best word for it. The hostess, Shelly, is great! Regarding all food - there is obviously no manager over this. They really do not seem to care about the quality of their food or preparation of the food. I know that most of us who go to a hotel like this understand that the food will be at best 'okay'. However, Breezes takes it a step farther and makes sure that whatever ingredients they use are mediocre and that the staff will prepare them to your worst expectations. Then, they'll give you poor service to back it up. The rooms are okay - nothing special, but roomy. They have clean bathrooms and old furnishings, but new flat screen TVs. The maids are very good at keeping the rooms clean. The property is a little sketchy, not really taken care of well. The employees seem to want to make sure you are happy, they just don't have the tools and are not given the skills that their jobs require. Obviously, this is a management problem. Management at this property is either looking the other way or their management wants to portray a poorly run operation. With a little care and employee instruction, this could be a three-star property. Right now it's maybe a one-star property on a beautiful beach. |

I just got back from Sandals Royal Bahamian, and wish I had read reviews before going. Transportation was not a Rolls or Mercedes, as promised, but a shoddy van one way, and filthy old bus returning to the airport. The room was not at all as described. I could see the ocean, but the mini-bar was a small fridge with liquor bottles that were refilled from half empty ones from other guests' room. Dining was a joke. Be sure to make reservations, or you eat in a venue more fitting a shopping mall cafeteria. The pool was nice enough, but I felt like we were on spring break. It was filled with loud drunken NASCAR fans. Tatoos were de'regeur. Secure your lounge chair in the middle of the night, or you won't get one. The beach was a joke-small, short and dirty. There were nice enough surroundings, but felt like I was in 1947-very dated. For what I got, it was very expensive and not worth it. |

The resort is nice if you get a deal. I would never pay full price to stay here. I went down with a friend for my birthday, and when I told them that at check in, they gave us an upgraded room! This was very nice of them. However, the room had a leaky A/C, so we had to move before we killed ourselves on the slippery floor. The next room was bigger, but the view was not nearly as nice. Also, the people below us let their dog do it's duty on there terrace (at least we hoped it was a dog!). That's not something you want to wake up to! The bathtub faucet felt like it would come out of the wall when we went to take a shower. Also, the toilet was loose so it moved when we sat on it. Finally, the hot tub and the little beach were kind of nasty. However, the pool was okay. The good things: The staff was nice; the drinks were great; and the food was decent. We were able to have a relaxing time and meet some great people. I didn't see Action Jackson this trip. However, I did in January at Club Land'or. He was awesome. If you go, try to watch his show! Overall, the good outweighed the bad. I would stay here again if I got a deal like this time. Also, I love Paradise Island it is a beautiful place. |

This was a beautiful location with a range of accommodations. It was very competitively priced, and the service was outstanding. Also, the bar was particularly nice with friendly staff. It was obviously a hot spot for the locals. We would return in a second. |
