We also had won the "free cruise" and 4 night stay. Very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Kitchenette not completely stocked. Clogged bathroom sink and shower in disrepair, which went along with the rest of the Grand Bahama Island. Despite the 12% VAT, the government doesn't seem to be putting the money back into rebuilding or cleaning up after the hurricanes. And it appeared as if many business owners have followed their lead.

This week we stayed here ..not planned as we were promised the Marlin at Taino Beach by Universal Vacations. So disappointed. Locked into the Motel 6 style old hotel on a marina. Cleaning staff did clean but regularly missed trash taken out. Refill of toilet paper. No towels at times..tile only floors.Worst..3 inch spring mattress.my back is killing me. You're required to pay $200 to use Taino Beach resort ammenities. No longer felt like sitting thru their time share presentation after this bait and switch. But suffered thru anyway as they would charge full price at hundreds of dollars per day of we had not done so..we paid $500 as it was along with air fare to get here from US. Door has gaps so air and come thru. Only given a few things to eat on utensils included 1 fork 1spoon and 2knives.be prepared for the Bahamas prices on groceries..it is all at least double the US..even an old lady selling fruit at a stand would not barter..selling at grocery store prices. People in Bahamas are nice..but are not especially so at Flamingo..if you signed up for timeshare and expect to stay at Taino resort, Get It In Writing before you go! We met 1 couple who had done that, they were sent to "Flamingo 6 motel" but forced the resort to move them when they showed them the letter.
