Count Basie Square

We had a nice time but the staff at the front desk when we arrived did not share any important information with us-towels, restaurants, transportation, etc. - We had to figure everything out on our own and sometimes it was just too late. She seemed to lack any motivation. The beds were comfortable and the cleaning crew was great. Always attentive when we needed anything. The price of food and drinks was ridiculous and the fact that there is no shuttle to the grocery store and that the convenience store was closed was also very disappointing. I feel like we as tourists are being taken advantage of. I had to pay $56 US plus tip to go to the grocery store with Lewis (taxi). He insisted on waiting and said that was the only way. I refused to use him again and made sure everyone we met was aware of the outrageous prices of transportation. It's quite a shame as the beach here is lovely. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be returning.

The entire staff at the Marlin was in a word "Phenomenal"! Traveling the entire Caribbean for over 50 years, we find the Bahamians the most friendliest people ever! We love the interactions with them as they always are quick with a smile, and making you laugh. A special "thank you" to K,C. who works the front gate security as I had the privilege of talking to and learning so much more of the history of Grand Bahama Island! Thank you all so much, we will return.
