Moraine Cay Vacations from $638

This was our second year at the British Colonial and we will return again next year. Wonderfully remodeled a few years ago and impeccably maintained. The pool and beach area are superb. Many lounge chairs and patio umbrellas dot the pool and beach areas. The hotel rooms have all the modern conveniences and a feeling of old world charm and style. All the staff are friendly, helpful and seem to truly enjoy their jobs. There are a couple staff members that I would like to point out. Charles and Petra cover the beach and pool area. They make every guest feel special. The front desk attendants are all excellent, but our favorite is Selvinique. Her outgoing personality is infectious and she makes sure all guests feel welcome and appreciated. Art & Pam McCray

Property was clean at all times. Food was excellent. Have stayed at All-Inclusive properties in several countries by different hotel chains and none come close to quality of food at RIU Bahamas. Few complaints if any really. We will definitely be going back.

Just getting to Freeport is a pain, NJ to MIA then to Freeport. Only a one hour layover on the way there (5hrs 43mins to get there). Getting back to NJ not so good. The return flights are terrible Left Freeport at 1:50 arrived in MIA at 2:40, Had a 5 hour layover in MIA to get back to NJ. (9hrs 6 mins) plus a one hour delay Go to Nassau, bigger airport so you can get a direct flight there. The property itself was not very clean, the rooms were very outdated and dirty. There were way too many bee's especially by the pool. There was no nightlife at all and very few and boring activities. The food was fair. When you check in you will be made to wait until 3:00 to get your room key and wait on a long line. NOT before 3:00. I reserved an ocean view king room. When I got to the room it had 2 queen beds, went back to reception and told them I reserved an Ocean view King Room and they told me that they are "upon availability" and that people had checked in before me and the there weren't any available right now. There is a small shop on site that sells snacks, aspirin, cigs, lotion, soda, water, etc, but they close at 6:00 every night, so if you need aloe for your sunburn or you are out of cigs you are beat. REALLY 6:00 I have been to all inclusive resorts in Jamaica, Cancun and Punta Cana. and this resort is by far the worst resort I have ever been to. I would NOT recommend this resort. I would not return to this place if I was offered a free stay and spending money to boot

The property has a variety of things going on and has tremendous potential but for some reason there are some elements that fall short. Great pools, but a casual attitude about ball playing and others activities in the pool that take away from the relaxing atmosphere it could be. And I am referring to adults not kids. Had to look for waitstaff in the pool area to get any service and limited if any check ins. In short the frame work for an exceptional experience but missing some of the details.

It was a pleasurable stay. The staff were accommodating and helpful navigating the island.
