Stayed in the Grand Bahama room which was very beautifully furnished. Everything was super clean and the robe and slippers were a great touch. The continental bfast in the am was pretty basic but good enough for something light before setting out for the day. Parking was extra for the particular spot we had but it was less than 10 ft from the front door. The courtyard was also nice and cozy. Can't beat the location for this place, will return for sure.
