Bouncing back in the Bahamas

A February 2005 trip to Freeport by vanfamdam

I was anxious to see what was left of Freeport after the hurricanes. The island is slowly getting back to normal. Many of the hotels are under renovation, which limited the number of tourists on the island. This made it more relaxed and romantic. It truly was a relaxing getaway.

SuperBowl beach party
Best Things Nearby:
There was snorkeling, an international bazaar, the Isle of Capri Casino, and the Port Lucaya Marketplace.

Best Things About the Resort:
The view from the rooms, the beach, and the friendly people were the best things.

Resort Experience:
We arrived on Super Bowl Sunday and enjoyed a party on the beach with a big-screen TV sponsored by the Royal Bahaman police while dancing to the local music. We stayed on the 12th floor, which gave us a tremendous view of the beach and island. There is plenty to do on the premises, and most things were open. The rooms were clean, and I didn't notice any smells leftover from the hurricanes.
