Breezes Bahamas 14+

I stayed at Breezes for 7 nights and I can honestly say that I have stayed in Cuba at 3 Star hotels and had better service and accommodations. The hotel itself is outdated but still has beautiful ocean views. That could be overlooked if the room had a mini fridge and a coffee machine but it doesnt. You have to rent a fridge if you want one. You dont get any water bottles, you have to pay for them all and the water tastes very strange. The service at the buffet is terrible. Expect to serve yourself. Drinks are the worst I've had anywhere in the Caribbean and they only have one open bar in the entire hotel. At one point a bunch of grad students arrived and there were so many with only one bar open many of the other guests were left with no option of getting a drink. My second day I got food poisoning (vomiting all night and diarrhea) Haven't been that sick in a long time and the store in the hotel had everything expect PeptoBismol or any stomach/nausea meds. Spent the week just eating white rice and buying bottles of water. Truly an experience I hope never to have again. [Details]

It took a few days but once we got to know the hotel and recognized the hotel was not new but rather had character that a new hotel can't provide we absolutely enjoyed our stay.
All the staff and the food in the buffet couldn't be beat.
The first week we were there the alcohol choices didn't impress but they eventually stalked the bars with top shelf spirits. My thoughts were a supply chain issue but it could be just the guests requesting better.
I have Celiac disease and was pleasantly surprised with food descriptions whether it contained gluten. I didn't have any food issues. [Details]

Love that this reaort was all inclusive! It makes budgeting super easy while on vacation. This cute little resort had all the necessities including a shop right inside the hotel to get snacks, drinks, and everyday items you may have forgot to pack. The staff were amazing. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and clean. We were on the bottom floor, so we had access to an outdoor patio with a table and chairs for quite evening away from the main areas of the resort that could get pretty lively. The À la carte resturants were top notch. The Asian one had your basic dishes, everything tasted amazing. The Italian was so much fun. The girls working here loved to have a good time, it was very lively and the food was fantastic. The Garden of Eden was a quite relaxing resturant best suited for a night out with a partner or friend. It had cute loveseats to sit on. The steak here was delicious. Great pool that was cleaned every morning. The big plus of this resort was that is was on the beach, of course which was stunning. We 100% intend to return here for our next vacation. [Details]

Requested a room with 2 beds on the 4th floor or lower (to avoid elevator) but that was not met. Was offered another room the next day, but we were not allowed to see it or even know where it was, so we declined. Only 1 elevator worked, sometimes. Could not use the phone in the room - had to use 1 public phone at the main desk. My husband could not even call from Canada as no one at the desk answered. Could not get Wi-Fi for the 2 days we were there. Very isolating/unsafe for 2 women traveling. Not even a clock radio in the room (have been removed from all rooms). The pool bar seemed to be the place to hang out and smoke marijuana, yet signs indicated no smoking in public areas. Our floor also reeked of it. Pools were not clean - lots of debris. Hard to get a spot to eat meals as the hotel hosted rugby teams. Beach was nice but the water sports they advertise are nonexistent. Moved to another hotel after the first night. [Details]

The hotel is nice and the staff is really lovely, we had a great experience overall. Rooms are comfortable and cozy, the only comment I have is that it was possible to hear everything from the room next door. Their alarm was set every morning at 5 am and we would wake up as the alarm was from one of our phones. The Internet was really bad during our stay. [Details]

The hotel itself was okay
the beach was amazing [Details]

First time at Breezes and I personally would not go back. The bathroom smelled like manure, there are no balconies in the rooms (to enjoy while your roomates get ready for the evening). The staff seems miserable, so either management sucks or they need to hire people that actually understand the hospitality business. We would go down for dinner and would get offered some wine and water right before we finished our meal and it was the same for breakfeast with coffee - most of the time we just got up and poured ourselves the coffee and got our own utensils. If you asked for a Pina Colada with liquor they would mix it with another plastic cup instead of actually blending the drink - that's gross who knows if they even washed there hands properly. One good thing about that is I saved money on tips. Sorry but I will not give a tip for bad service. The staff was always miserable except for the entertainment staff - they were amazing and friendly. The beach is amazing, pool area is nice. Oh yes and we asked for a wake up so we can catch the bus the next morning to the airport and they said no problem we can do that - and guess what - they didn't, thank God I remembered to put the alarm on my phone or we would have missed the bus. [Details]

Enjoyed my time spent here [Details]

Overall we had a good time & experience at Breezes. It's definitely in need of a face lift but it was clean and comfortable (but not a "super club" by any means). The outside areas could use more attention to cleaning, especially the tables in the gazebo, dishes are left all day in the centre and the tables are filthy. Sat up there for a pre-dinner drink a few nights and still the tables were dirty and had food stuck on them. Not very inviting! The buffet staff were miserable (as well as some of the bartenders) and not very attentive, nor do they have any interest in talking to you. Other than Jarvis, he was great and so nice along with a few of the other "guys" (but not the women). Seemed like a bother to ask for anything so we helped ourselves when possible. The daily entertainment staff were a lot of fun and we participated in many of the games. Nightly entertainment was good too with the Funky D band, got my dancing fix! Food was great, a la carte service was top notch with a great friendly staff, especially Adrian & Khandri! Unfortunately the ocean was ICE cold, not many people in it which is a first we've ever seen on holidays. And the pool was just as cold and again usually lots of people swimming, but not here. Not enough palapa's or umbrella's by the pool at all. People were scrounging for shelter anywhere they could find a bit of shade. Tons of "rentable" palapa's though that weren't fully occupied, if you want to pay $50/day! We couldn't believe how many, that was so disappointing. So get down there by 7AM to save your seats if you want any shade! [Details]

We had a wonderful 4 day vacation at the Breezes resort. The entertainment staff were amazing and always had fun activities and were a pleasure to hang out with. Volleyball was one of our favorites!! The pool bar staff were another one of our favorites. Great people and plenty of great fun drinks to choose from. The cleaning staff, front desk staff and wait staff, actually everyone that worked there was great and welcoming. I read the reviews before going and was nervous because of the reviews but I do not have one bad thing to say about the Breezes. Our room safe and hairdryer didn't work but both were fixed within minutes. The beaches were cleaned/raked every morning and we had a wonderful trip!! [Details]

Enjoy coming here for a girls weekend. Food is always great whether it be the Beach Shack, Buffet or any of the resteraunts. Staff is the best. They always remember you! Which makes this place extra special. [Details]

I have visited Breezes in Nassau so many times, my friends and I refer to it as the "cottage". It's a nice little weekend getaway. The staff is excellent. The food is very good. The beach was a little churned up this year but no doubt the hurricane season endured had something to do with that. It's an older resort but always fun and entertaining. In the winter months (Dec, Jan, Feb,) the pool can be a little too cool to get in. It's great for a girls weekend, a group of couples or just you and your partner. Entertainment is fun...not your typical cheesy resort shows night after night. Live dancing music. It's usually priced a little high and I'm not sure why that is. It's only rated a 3 star and sometimes the RIU 5 star is priced better. Perhaps location? [Details]

First time in Bahamas, love the island and this hotel offered great value. Location and beach were perfect. Need more shade options on the beach and pool area. Tired in some places, hallways to rooms. Sound carries from next door rooms. Be considerate! We had a great time. [Details]

Hotel is a budget/ spring break spot. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are fairly clean.After we checked in, we had two other couples at our door claiming they were given our room as well. Food was not very good, lacked variety and very limited for people with dietary restrictions of any kind. Both of us were having stomach issues mid stay...I barely ate for three days.Food at the grill was better but not available for dinner. Entertainment was minimal, not a lot to do especially in evenings [Details]

We had the best three day get a way of our lives! The people are wonderful, there was always something to eat and drink and the beach is steps away from the resort. The Bahamas is paradise. The city bus is great transportation. No complaints. How can you complain when paradise is a 2.5 hour flight from Toronto. Thank you so much! [Details]

We've visited several times. It's a three hour flight from Toronto and close to the airport. We've never visited in the summer before. The pool was warm for once. In the winter the water in the pool is numbing it's so cold. The hotel is a little run down for the price you pay. Staff is great! Food is very good. [Details]

Great beach, close to airport, good food variety and dining options and lovely staff. Free WiFi. Nice large rooms and very clean. The grounds were also very well maintained. [Details]

reservations not ready or followed though; housekeeping sloppy; need to get rid of sea gulls pooping in pools; rake beaches; intermittent internet; food standard, service spotty; definitely a two. [Details]

never been to all inclusive before, very nice at the Breezes. People friendly, food good. Clean rooms. Would go again. [Details]

A nice quick get away, quiet and wonderful vistas of the Bahamian coast line. Friendly people, excellent food and not crazy. [Details]

It is very clean and nice, staff are good and like to help you. Rooms are clean, air conditioner is working well. Food is fresh, we will come again. [Details]

Considering it's a 3 resort the food was good and it was clean. the hotel could use some renovation, also the washrooms in the rooms have no fan. Some of the bartenders in the main lobby could work on there attitude and be more professional. (not only my opinion, also many others they stayed their). Rest of staff was great. Also check in it's the longest process I had to check in anywhere, It has nothing to do with the staff, it's more the system the hotel is using. It was worth the money we have paid and would recommend it to others with not much expectations. The food was great, specially at the Italian and French restaurant.
The strong points: Over all it's a great resort, for the money we have paid.
The weak points: The resort could use some renovations. [Details]

This is a lovely hotel for anyone looking for a laid back, easy Bahamian hospitality experience. Clean facility, good food, great service. Unlike other nearby hotels, it was truly all inclusive. We never had to sign for anything. We were here for a 4-day stay and felt like we'd packed in a week of sunshine because it was such a trouble-free experience. Students arrived when we were there and made a lot of late night noise - security was up in 2 minutes after we called front desk to deal with it. If you have a late-night flight, it is worth your while to pay the late check-out fee. [Details]

Excellent!!!!! 2nd visit & will be going again [Details]

Beatiful Beach/resort but lacks cleanliness.

However, still had a great time. Thanks! [Details]

Very nice hotel with modern conveniences. The food was good, beach was amazing but the weather was a bit cool in January [Details]

One of the best vacations ever! Having read all of the negative reviews, I think people need a reality check when booking a vacation. The resort is old, and a little tired, but nothing like the horror stories I have seen posted.
Check-in was quick and painless. We arrived just before 2:00 pm, completed our paperwork and were told to come back at 3:00 to pick up our keys. Just enough time for a quick get-acquainted stroll around the property. Keys were ready at 3:00 as promised. Room was standard hotel fare, nothing special, older furniture, but clean. We had a gardenview room on the 5th floor. First reaction was we were looking at a construction site at the new Baha Mar complex next door. But if you took 2 steps to the left, and looked to the right, you had a nice view of the ocean. On our last morning we actually watched seals playing in the water from our room.
The beach at Breezes is fantastic. Clean (raked every morning), lots of lounge chairs, crystal clear water and close enough to the pool bar and beach grill to keep yourself well-hydrated. The pool is large and always seemed to have something going on. If you are looking for quiet relaxation, the beach is a better bet.
The food at Breezes sets it above the competition. Having stayed at numerous all-inclusives throughout the Caribbean, the food at Breezes was the best we have encountered. Lots of healthy, quality choices at the buffet for every meal. Dinner at Martino's was first rate, and the atmosphere at the Garden of Eden capped off a perfect day. If you need your fill of greasy fast-food, the Beach Grill does a superb job.
What really sets Breezes apart is the staff. The culture of customer service is evident everywhere. From the front desk, to housekeeping, to the wait staff, to the entertainment crew, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Our first night we encountered the nightly ritual of the over-indulging guests partying in the hallways. Happens in every resort. Our coping mechanism was to leave the AC on low, and the white noise of the fan drowns out most of the outside shenanigans. However, after mentioning the issue at the front desk in the morning, we found a security guard camped on our floor for the next three nights.
Rather than taking any organized excursions, we created our own. The local #10 bus stops right outside the resort, and for $1.25 you can ride downtown. Lots to do at little or no cost.
Not a big fan of resort entertainment, we did catch parts of a few shows. While the programming is typical of most resorts, the talent was far better than we have experienced elsewhere. Some very talented staff work here.
This was our first visit to the Bahamas. The people are extremely friendly and helpful. Our only concern is the potential influx of more tourists when the massive Baha Mar complex opens next year, and what impact that might have. [Details]

People should be made aware that the Buffet restaurant is in a major renovation mode. Buffet restaurant has been relocated for the time being. It is now out of the way & food is left warming under a small flame. Once you have the food on your plate, it cools off very fast (as it's not that hot to begin with & the ceiling fans are very low). The variety is not the greatest. The line ups are very confusing (especially for the pasta dishes). They estimate the original restaurant will be completely renovated in the 1st quarter of 2014. The other 2 restaurants are the norm (as before).
Rooms are as expected, but clean.
Staff always friendly & willing to please.
The beach is wonderful! [Details]

Hotel was what we were expecting. The building is out of date. That is the only bad thing I can say about this establishment. The food was good, the drinks were good and service was great. We will return in the future. [Details]

It was wonderful. I wish to mention the young lady Vanaessa at reception. She wonderful with her help to getting my IPAD onto Breezes WiFi. [Details]
