This journal is from my trip earlier this year to the Bahamas. We stayed at the Ocean Reef on an RCI timeshare exchange. It was a great resort and very relaxing. Highly recommended.

Best Things Nearby:
Garden of the Groves
Tranquility Beach

Best Things About the Resort:
Very clean, nice place. My friend bought a week there because he was so impressed by it.

Resort Experience:
The week in the Bahamas was great. The staff was very helpful and there were daily tours to various local attractions. My friends particularly liked the day spent touring the Garden of the Groves. We had a digital camera and took some great pictures of the local wildlife.

Tranquility Beach was great. You could swim there, walk along the shore, and the peace and quiet was great. It was like having your own, personal beach!

The casino wasn’t too bad, either. A great place to stay with a nice pool and hot tub.

The Garden of Groves was a little park near the Ocean Reef resort. We went there one day on an island activity tour. See the attached photos for some of the scenery you'll experience there.

view of the water
This beach is about a mile from the Ocean Reef resort. It was like having your own, personal beach. Quiet, and very relaxing. You could swim or just relax on the beach.
