"Booked this online via Expedia because it looked great - got to the site and it was CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. Luckily we were able to contact someone on site so they could set up a cot for us, but the place was CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS so there were no services. The airline had lost our luggage, so we had to wait at the property because that’s where the airline was bringing our luggage, even though it WAS CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. But eventually the airline told us they WEREN’T bringing our...

Top Sanctuary Bay Hotel Reviews

Bell Channel Inn Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was clean but the restaurant was 10/10"

Flamingo Bay Hotel & Marina at Taino Beach

8/10 Good

"I will sum it briefly the shower knob was loose and was afraid of pulling to hard to break went to the front desk due to phone was missing buttons to call the front desk. Someone wa sent to my room and just stated pulling a little harder even though the whole entire assembly was about to come out the wall. It was said it's not supposed to be like that but just pull a little harder. No iron was in the room again went to the front desk and had to wait until they locate a iron from another room. I understand this side was the Hotel side vs the Resort side but that side should not be isolated. Both are under the same banner"

Island Seas Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I like the bar tender she was nice"

Viva Fortuna Beach by Wyndham, A Trademark Resort

8/10 Good

"They initially gave me the wrong room, as I had reserved a Superior King but was assigned a room with two double beds. Thankfully, the front desk staff was very friendly and quickly resolved the issue. The rooms are a bit dated, but overall, the property is very enjoyable. The buffet food is decent with a good selection. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and the pool area is also very nice. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay despite the initial room mix-up."

Scarborough Villas #2 · Luxurious Villa - Deepwater Channel - Docks & Pool

10/10 Excellent

Vacation Lovers Blue Water Paradise: 2-bedroom condo with AC, WiFi in Freeport

10/10 Excellent

"My primary concern pertained to the swimming pool. Its cleanliness was unsatisfactory, and I observed a chair in six feet two days. The next day it was out the swimming pool, then the following day it was in six feet again. Consequently, I opted not to use the pool, particularly given the absence of a chlorine scent, which raised questions about the water's sanitation.I would suggest the acquisition of an umbrella for the existing table, as well as an additional table and chair set. This is merely a recommendation for the community to consider for future procurement. My overall experience with the interior of the condo property was, however, excellent."

The Marlin at Taino Beach Resort & Clubs

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic beach, excellent pool. Restaurant is great for breakfast and lunch. Pool bar happy hour a must. Water taxi/ferry to Port Lucaya is very handy and very on time!"

Luxurios bayview condo at Taino Beach I

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was lovely! The unit is perfect for a single person or couple. Compared to other vrbo's we have stayed at this one was well stocked with kitchen supplies as well as towels and beach needs. The unit has a great view of the canal and is a mere 5 minute walk from a fantastic beach. We highly recommend this accommodation."

STEPS TO BEACH & WALK TO SHOPPING, DINING, WATER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with the beach a short walk away. The restaurants in Port Lucaya were also a short walk away. The neighbours were friendly and helpful. Having the care taker close was a plus as he was available to change light bulbs etc., and he attended to things right away.The neighbourhood was quiet and we felt safe. Nellis, our host. was in contact with us to check that we had everything we needed. We enjoyed living in her house for 2 months and would recommend it for others. "
