Greater Chippingham Vacations from $767

I'll start with what was great about the Baha Mar. Overall it's an absolutely gorgeous resort with every amenity you could wish for - multiple pools, tons of restaurants to choose from, amazing grounds - great for an evening stroll, spa service's, beautiful white sand beach with lots of lounge chairs, wonderful tennis courts and pickle ball courts and a large casino. The grounds, hotel and rooms are spotlessly clean. Our ocean facing room had 2 extremely comfortable queen size beds and a large deck for enjoying the late afternoon sunshine. The room and bathroom are super spacious and well appointed. The rooms have a mini fridge and coffee maker. Now for the drawbacks. We arrived on a Friday night later than expected, around 9pm due to a flight delay. Upon arrival we were told our room wasn't ready which was disheartening after a very long day of travel, when check in time is 3pm. The front desk offered to comp us a meal at the Regatta buffet restaurant while we waited for our room. The total cost for the buffet for myself and teenage son, with 2 beers was $187USD. While its nice the meal was comped, this was an outrageous price for what was a basic buffet. The pricing was exorbitant for food, and reservations were impossible to get unless booked weeks in advance. Even with a reservation we ended up waiting over an hour to be seated. For the price I would prefer my go to resorts like JW Marriott.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here as we had the year prior when we stayed at RIU in Cabo. The good, the food at the buffet and specialty restaurants was very good, the beach with white sand, no stones or shells to cut your feet was beautiful. Nightly entertainment included dancers that were talented and entertaining. Views from the balcony were great and closeness to Atlantis was also a plus as that establishment is a must see..The not so good, staff is very inconsistent when approaching guest, we were not offered champagne upon arrival as some were. Many staff, female seemed almost indifferent to connecting with you like passing you a drink while looking away..problems with our room like phone never worked and room air was off and took hours to get cool Did not seem to garner much concern. Smaller property with only two pools one was swim up bar … 24hr bar was nice but ended up a hang out for the intoxicated….Its an 8..7.8

Everything was within walking distance

Awesome place and service. Very pricey.

We were supposed to be at the Royal which would have been a much more convenient but our reservation was moved to the Reef due to an upgrade. I would have much rather stayed at the Royal.
