I am here now actually but had to write a review before I left! I have traveled all over the world and stayed in some amazing places and can honestly say that this place has been possibly my favorite.

I am here off season so I have to expect some down time for certain things and honestly the resort not having available restaurants is annoying. I have to pay that price in exchange for the peaceful quiet and absence of crowds and I am ok with that.

Yes things are expensive here. Almost to the point of being ridiculous, but you have to understand that it all has to be brought here from somewhere else which costs money. $85 for a case of Corona though? Really?

The room is amazing to say the least. I'm in a Treehouse with a loft luxury villa and it's perfect in every way. A few hundred feet from the infinity pool which is outrageously beautiful and for once actually looks in person the way it does in the website photos! The water looks almost fake it's so beautiful.

We went snorkeling with Troy at Bimini Undersea and I snorkeled with sharks and fed sting rays which are 2 things I would NEVER do! It was amazing! Troy took great care of me and made me feel safe and I loved every minute.

The golf carts are expensive but almost a necessity. I tried to go without for the first few days but broke down and have one waiting for me in the morning for the last 4 days of our stay.

If you want luxury and peace and quiet and very upscale accommodations, please do yourself a favor and stay here. It's just so much better than the other resorts on the island who offer nothing more than standard hotel rooms. We have a full kitchen with granite counter tops and a king size bed that is awesome in our loft bedroom. Very high class and worth every penny!

A special shout out and thanks to Guido at the activities desk and Sheldon who said he would make whatever we needed happen and he has kept his promise!

We stayed in the 2-story bay view treehouse during Labor Day weekend. The house was gorgeous although I thought the white cloth couch and bland walls were silly and make the house less cozy. Sabors was good but pricey. The room service was bad...I requested a blow dryer that never came and we never had clean towels. Housekeeping called one morning to say they'd be there shortly. We return at end of the day to find the house exactly as it was when we left that morning. The pool service was even worse. My sister in law waited almost an hour for her burger and I never got mine!!! I had to cancel the order. I must admit though that the next day, service was better. I got my drink in about 10 minutes. Talk about lightening fast speed! The locals working at this hotel are super friendly, too :)

A few tips to save $$$:

1. Bring and cook your own food if you have a kitchen! Sabor's is wayyy too expensive and the food was nothing to talk about. If you go to the island by boat, visit Bimini Big Game Resort...you will possibly find locals at the dock selling conch and lobster @ 50bucks a dozen (the conch were a bit cheaper).

2. If you have babies or kids, bring a stroller!!!! The golf carts are expensive and the place isn't too bad to walk. Think of it as your workout for the day.

3. The drinks by the pool already have the gratuity added to the price so no need to tip...unless you want to, that is :) 10 bucks a drink is as much as I'd like to pay for a weak cuban passion. But the pina coladas are awesome.

4. This hotel will not offer those roller beds so bring an inflatable one if you plan on fitting more than 4 people into a house. The 2 story treehouse we stayed in was HUGE.

First let me start off by saying that I am writing this review because what I and my fiancé have been through with this hotel is something I do not wish on my worst enemy.

I contacted the Resorts Wedding Dept about 3 months ago because My fiancé and I wanted a Destination Wedding. After exchanging a few emails with them and trying to gather more information the Resort's Wedding Coordinator Danielle Dunnfee (who is featured on the Resorts Site as she had her own wedding at the Bimini Bay) fell off the face of the planet, we stopped getting information.

Weird... ok, well we emailed another representative and started the process of organizing a family reunion on the Island, (as we had decide to do a small civil ceremony in Miami and do a nicer beach reception at the hotel) after several key email exchanges with Sina Kamlani, she too stopped writing back, we emailed another rep Scott Ward, and this other person finally got back to us, apparently no one at Rock Resorts believes in Auto Reply while on Vacation.

Fine enough, Sina came back from vacation we fleshed out all the details and signed a contracts to book 13 rooms and have a reception.

I was then told after executing the contract that the hotel event coordinator Anva Roberts, would be getting back to me. We waited and waited and finally 10 days later! if not more Anva gets back to me, after repeated messages. I explain my fiancé and I will be having a small civil wedding ceremony and wanted to have just a wedding reception on the island. She promises me to have monthly phone calls the 3rd Wednesday of each month so we would know the progress. We asia ton of questions and she promises to get back to us in a few days... we hear nothing, a month passes! We email Scott Ward complaining and he calls us and promises things will change and that all will be well from this point forward. Then Anva misses our arranged scheduled call, no follow up email apologizing, no contract (which we have now been waiting a MONTH to get) We send another email to Scott Ward complaining at this point my fiancé and I discuss that if not for family who has already booked, we would cancel the wedding reception at the resort because, we are afraid of them ruining our day. Well, Anva finally gets us a contract, when we get the contract there are "mistakes" EVERYWHERE!!! Mysterious $100, $200 etc charges that don't add up to the math are hidden in different sections, I am told I need to leave a $6000 deposit for a party costing less than $2,000. When I address the issues they are changed, but at the end of the day the contract was re-drafted over a handful of times due to "mistakes." I'm an Accountant, don't tell me $4+$4=$10.00, well that pretty much exactly what this hotel tried to do, except add a few 00's to the $4.

The last and FINAL straw (if you could believe we were naive enough to sit through all this, why we did go figure) when I signed my group contract i was promised an exclusive rate and that no third party vendor (like Orbitz, Travelocity etc) would have a better rate, so imagine our surprise when we log onto Orbitz and see a better rate!!!

I emailed Sina who did our group contract and she emails me back giving me a further discount on each room per night!

Great, we were so excited we texted and emailed everyone in our group! An hour something later she emails me back and says that she has to rescind the further discount! I said what?! no way I just emailed everyone in my family and told them the great news, I am not taking it back because you made a mistake, she says there is nothing can be done and that we are not getting a better rate. At this point my fiancé and I call Scott Ward and cancel everything, demanding that everyone be issued a refund. He sounded flat, completely unconcerned. Truly ASTONISHING! how someone could just not care that a customer is so dis-satisfied that they have cancelled a large group event. At this point i am out $300 in invitation printing, shipping info packets to family far away etc...

I am literally 90 days away from my wedding, I am now having to re arrange everything and what had taken me months to plan and organize is gone, due to the lack of professionalism, and simple courtesy from the key players at this resort.

If you are a Bride or someone planning on hosting an important event at this resort, PLEASE RECONSIDER! Don't go through the nightmare we have just been through!

We stayed at Bimini Bay on our way to Nassua and our way back and absolutely loved it. The pools were amazing and the food at the new restaurant, Sabor, was great. In fact, we went to Sabor three out of the four nights we were in Bimini. It was the best food we have ever had in the Bahamas. The resort is well kept and the staff was very helpful. We would definitely go back and would stay longer.
