Island Seas Resort Freeport City, Bahamas - Booking Reservations, Reviews, Information

I must say I did not expect much when I booked my trip. This all changed the moment I opened the door to my one bedroom suite. It was beautiful. The resort was tranquil and the staff friendly. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to and from the market and they also do guided tours. Jet ski, snorkling, glass bottom boat, luxury yact, jacuzzi/hot tub, car and scooter rental, tennis are all available onsite. All roms are not beachfront but you are never further than across the street. Would recommend getting a car for a day or two to go to other restaurants (gourmet restaurant almost completed onsite) or partying (cabs can be pricy back and forth).

The hotel was okay, but when we booked our vacation, we thought we were staying at an ocean-front hotel. The main hotel is ocean-front, but there was no mention of this other section we got stuck in. I probably could have accepted not being in the main hotel, had I been forewarned that this other part of the hotel existed. It wasn't bad, but I was expected to truly be ocean-front. Worse than the location of our room was the fact that we were charged an additional 15 a day hotel tax, EACH. Online travel says there are no hidden fees, but this was sure hidden from me. That was an additional 210 added to our trip which we had already paid in excess of 2K for flight and hotel. When I looked at the fine print for our hotel details at Online travel , I did indeed see that there was going to be this fee. I think Online travel should not have stated when I purchased the trip that this fee included all fees and taxes if that wasn't the case. And perhaps I shouldn't blame the hotel, but it does seem extreme. Why would a room tax be "per person"? This is only my 3rd day here, but I have one more small complaint. Yesterday, I wanted to lounge around the pool but there were no lounge chairs left. I went to get one at the bottom of the steps toward the beach but was told that I could not take a chair up to the pool area. They were exactly the same chairs, but I guess they had a specific allotment for the beach area and the pool area and didn't want to have to walk an additional 5 feet to put them away at night. I'm disappointed.

My family loveed this place. The beech was awesome, the staff was friendly good size rooms clean and comfortable. Transportation right at the front door to take you anywhere you wanted to go.

This was a great experience at this resort, it was filled with activities and rest and relaxation!! i would stay here over and over again!

I really did like this resort, but have been to nicer on the island. I understand that the snippiness can be just the way a person is made up, but we got ""the attitude"" one time too many for my comfort. I really did not appreciate the maid service entering our apartment in the evening just to leave a flyer for the next day's event at the Resort. On several nights, while in the living room talking, we heard a knock on the doorThe door was locked

The staff is excellent. Everyone was extremely friendly. The rooms were very well polished and so was the surrounding areas. However, they call themselves a resort and there is hardly anything to do. One has to go out of the ""resort"" to have real entertainment; such as disco, water activities, etc... Also, they only have one restaurant on premisys and is outdoor. The pool is right next to the restaurant, and one is not allowed in w/o shirt. Which doesnt make sense to me??? Excellent for families, not for singles
