Bay View Suites Paradise Island Bahamas

This place is a little quiet getaway on paradise island away from all the hustle and bustle of Atlantis. The room was spacious with a nice little patio view. The pool was good until the underwater light came floating off while we were swimming. No real danger but still something that should be checked regularly. The staff was excellent. Always helpful, friendly, kind and smiling. The condition of the room is really what warrants three stars. Peeling paint in the shower and the pool light does not lead me to believe the maintainance is being done here properly. We also had yellow water on and off for a couple of days though that could be the local utility. The bed was comfortable, although the sheets didn’t seem like they were changed daily. The pull out sofa was for lack of a better word terrible on the comfort scale, and I don’t expect a whole lot from sofa beds but this was on the low end of the spectrum. Our room had a full size refrigerator, and compact stove. It It also came with enough cooking and eating utensils for one meal. There is a little cafe by the pool with a little store and reasonably (for the area) priced. We didn’t eat there but the food smelled good. It is a little ways from the main thoroughfare which could be considered a positive or negative. For us it was a positive as we wanted a quiet stay. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach, or the shops at Atlantis. WiFi seemed to be decent; although we didn’t use it much. There is 24hr security but not a 24hr typical “front desk” the office hours are normal working hours. Overall we enjoyed our stay here, but probably will stay somewhere off Paradise island next time.

It was a value for the money. Large suites, nice covered porch out back with table and chairs. It was quiet and clean. Definitely not a party place unless you bring your own! 3 pools and breakfast on premises. Only regret is it was a bit far to the beach. The walk is 10 minutes it you are a brisk walker. But the price made up for it.

We got a lot more than we expected. The bedroom had a king size bed, with a TV. Plus a full kitchen and large refrigerator, micorwave, and stove. You enter the room into a decent size living room wi sofa, chair, desk, and dining table with chairs for 4. There was also a large screen TV in this room. Nicely air conditioned (which you control) and ceiling fans in the two rooms. The big surprise was a sliding glass door which led to a patio with two lounges, table with four chairs. Very secluded. There are two pools, and an outdoor seating area with snack bar for breakfast and lunch. Cold beer and mixed drinks are available. Small store also there for all beverages. We thought the place was empty until we talked with the manger and she told us there were no rooms availalbe foir that night. Good place for adults without children! Let all them stay at the big resorts. The only down side was a power outage that lasted the last 24 hours. Major fire at the power plant. Manager apologized and gave us our last night free. We did not go to the beach, as we liked the pool. Eating places for dinner was about 1/2 mile walk or you could call a taxi. We are definitely going back there again.
