Common trade offs include no elevator and a closed former dive center, and some guests find the location a bit out of the way. A small pool is available and typically clean, and there have been some ongoing renovations. A practical, quiet base for travelers seeking a simple stay.

My stay at Bell Channel was enjoyable, the hotel staff and restaurant staff are friendly and helpful, especially Roberta in housekeeping. The property is well maintained and rooms clean. The only negative is there is no elevator and I was on the 3rd floor and have injured knees which were very swollen and sore by day 3 and for the rest of my 7day stay.

Bell Channel Inn is close enough to the Port Lucaya Marketplace to walk there and close enough to the Lucaya Shopping Center to get groceries at Solomon’s with a taxi ride back (public bus service was unreliable). There’s a small pool on the property and lots of beach chairs. The restaurant on the third floor is open from 7:30 in the morning until 11 at night. The food was good and reasonably priced. The front desk staff was always helpful. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, a small refrigerator and microwave (but no utensils), and a shower. The air conditioner and ceiling fan kept the room cool. There was a balcony with 2 chairs. The flat screen TV had a variety of American channels, some Bahamaian channels and music channels. The wifi coverage was spotty. It was good in the lobby and the restaurant but less reliable in my room at the end of the building. I found that the signal improved if I placed my mobile device close to the TV signal box but it went in and out constantly. E-mail and web surfing were OK but forget about streaming videos. I’m glad I stayed there.

I picked this Inn because one of the website has scuba diving, turns out the scuba owner retired last year. The service and staff are excellent although limited in what they can assist on activities. The place is out of the way, it's best to rent a car. It's about 20 minutes walk to the Port Lucayan Market. Vibration from music from a quarter mile away can be heard, so if you're a light sleeper, this could be an issue. Very convenient restaurant 'Upstairs on the Bay' has good food and excellent Conch Chowder.

Very clean. We just asked for fresh towels after the first night and they cleaned entire room and changed bed covers! Great view of harbor. Restaurant on site with very good food, especially breakfast. You get a free Bahamian drink with your stay! I would definately go back.

My husband and I arrived on the ferry alittle early before check in time and the front desk got us right into our room with no problem ! We couldnt have asked for a nicer welcome to the island. The staff was eager to help and the friendliness was refreshing! During our stay of 5 nights anytime we had a request it was promptly taken care of.We had several meals at the wonderful restaurant located upstairs the drinks and food and service were top notch ! The entire staff make you feel welcomed and at home. They arranged the best taxi driver for us who picked us up and returned us everyday after each adventure. The location was close to the market and beaches but at the same time away from the crowds. We will be booking with Bell Channel Inn everytime we visit the Grand Bahamas from now on . We appreciated the professionalism and the friendliness and couldn't have been more comfortable Highly recommend!!!!

Bell Channel Inn is close enough to the Port Lucaya Marketplace to walk there and close enough to the Lucaya Shopping Center to get groceries at Solomon’s with a taxi ride back (public bus service was unreliable). There’s a small pool on the property and lots of beach chairs. The restaurant on the third floor is open from 7:30 in the morning until 11 at night. The food was good and reasonably priced. The front desk staff was always helpful. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, a small refrigerator and microwave (but no utensils), and a shower. The air conditioner and ceiling fan kept the room cool. There was a balcony with 2 chairs. The flat screen TV had a variety of American channels, some Bahamaian channels and music channels. The wifi coverage was spotty. It was good in the lobby and the restaurant but less reliable in my room at the end of the building. I found that the signal improved if I placed my mobile device close to the TV signal box but it went in and out constantly. E-mail and web surfing were OK but forget about streaming videos.

We appreciated the professionalism and the friendliness and couldn't have been more comfortable Highly recommend!!!!
My husband and I arrived on the ferry alittle early before check in time and the front desk got us right into our room with no problem ! We couldnt have asked for a nicer welcome to the island. The staff was eager to help and the friendliness was refreshing! During our stay of 5 nights anytime we had a request it was promptly taken care of.We had several meals at the wonderful restaurant located upstairs the drinks and food and service were top notch ! The entire staff make you feel welcomed and at home. They arranged the best taxi driver for us who picked us up and returned us everyday after each adventure. The location was close to the market and beaches but at the same time away from the crowds. We will be booking with Bell Channel Inn everytime we visit the Grand Bahamas from now on . We appreciated the professionalism and the friendliness and couldn't have been more comfortable Highly recommend!!!!

Bell Channel Inn is close enough to the Port Lucaya Marketplace to walk there and close enough to the Lucaya Shopping Center to get groceries at Solomon’s with a taxi ride back (public bus service was unreliable). There’s a small pool on the property and lots of beach chairs. The restaurant on the third floor is open from 7:30 in the morning until 11 at night. The food was good and reasonably priced. The front desk staff was always helpful. The room was spacious with a comfortable bed, a small refrigerator and microwave (but no utensils), and a shower. The air conditioner and ceiling fan kept the room cool. There was a balcony with 2 chairs. The flat screen TV had a variety of American channels, some Bahamaian channels and music channels. The wifi coverage was spotty. It was good in the lobby and the restaurant but less reliable in my room at the end of the building. I found that the signal improved if I placed my mobile device close to the TV signal box but it went in and out constantly. E-mail and web surfing were OK but forget about streaming videos. I’m glad I stayed there.

I picked this Inn because one of the website has scuba diving, turns out the scuba owner retired last year. The service and staff are excellent although limited in what they can assist on activities. The place is out of the way, it's best to rent a car. It's about 20 minutes walk to the Port Lucayan Market. Vibration from music from a quarter mile away can be heard, so if you're a light sleeper, this could be an issue. Very convenient restaurant 'Upstairs on the Bay' has good food and excellent Conch Chowder.
