It is a small resort and yes the golf club is no longer there due to hurricane. No it is nota 5 star resort, but the staff and the people make up for the rest. The first day in people made us feel at home. Michael is awesome and Stacy will do whatever she can to help make your stay comfortable. We had a blast there and you don't have to go far to do anything you want. We would stay there again, because the people are so friendly. The rooms are spacious 2 bedrooms with a full bath in both bedrooms. Kitchen is good size and the dining area and living room area. It is the only heated pool on the island. Very quiet and relaxing at the resort.
The place is a place away from home very quite and have all you need to spend a very relaxing vacation and the driver Michael is awesome he will go out of his way to help you every one from the front desk clerk to the house keeper will recommend this place if you are look for a nice quiet relaxing vacation
Island Resort and Golf Club is a very small "resort" in Freeport. There is no longer a golf club since it was destroyed by the hurricanes in 2004. The area around the hotel is very isolated and run down due to the hurricanes and they have never built it back up again. The resort touts they are within walking distance of the International Bazaar; however, there is virtually nothing left there other than one restaurant, a liquor store and the perfume factory. The rest of the buildings are boarded up and have never been touched since 2004.
Island Resort itself is comfortable but the furnishing need some updating and the units are in desperate need of maintenance and some hard core cleaning. The high lime content of the water has corroded the sinks and faucets leaving ugly stains. They have updated many of the small appliances in the rooms and all the towels are new and very clean.
The staff at this resort make up for the quality of the rooms. Stacy, Nettie and Michael go out of their way to make sure you are well taken care of and responded to all our needs when asked.
The pool area is small but it is well maintained and warm. The bar area could use a little work but Michael makes up for it with his great Bahama Mamas! At the time we were there the bar wasn't staffed except for a few hours most evenings.
You will have to pay extra for power if you exceed a certain amount of kilowatt hours so make sure you check in with the front desk periodically. It can get expensive!
This was not top of the line accommodations but it surely was not the worse. You make the vacation how you'll like it. The staff was very helpful and nice. Be sure to go to the orientation with Michael and he'll fill you in on everything you need to know and will go out of his way to make your stay an enjoyable one! If you want rest and relaxation it's great, if you need activities and excitement it's just a short ride away by shuttle bus, cab or your own rental car. The units are very spacious and comfortable. A home away from home. Yes, there's no golf club, unfortunately they lost it through a terrible hurricane. And for those who have experienced this in your state or other parts of the world, you'll understand. So, if you want to experience the culture of Bahamians it's there, if you want some night life it's there, if you're a beach bum it's there,snorkeling, fishing, diving it's there -- a drive away. Overall, I had a great time!
NO Security, NOT A RESORT, ONE pool fits 10 and it would be FULL. Pay for electricity. A/C not working; refrigerator HOT; no ice machine on premises; no golf course to be seen; We checked in at 4 pm and checked out at 5 pm!
