The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas

We were returned to the ocean club after 12 years and found not much to be changed, but what was changed was for the better. The food at Dune remains spectacular. The beach was incredibly calm, perfect temperatures. Our room was newly renovated and we were upgraded to lovely ocean view. The service was incredibly responsive - when I called housekeeping for something it was at my room 30 seconds later. The two tennis pros that we used, Shaka and Marvin, we’re fantastic and some of the best we’ve encountered at a high-end resort. I highly recommend hitting with them if you play tennis They also make it incredibly easy if you want to have dinner at Atlantis and can book your reservations through their system. We would definitely return for a quick, easy, and luxurious getaway from NYC

We had a delightful stay at this excellent hotel. The staff and service are exceptional. The staff was so friendly, welcoming and eager to do whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable- from Marcus our Butler, to Brishard from Room Service, to the groundskeepers, beach and pool staff... they made us feel like this was our second home. Food was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the conch salad and fritters. I am quite picky about these as I grew up in the Bahamas, and they were so fresh and well made. The beach is clean, safe and uncrowded. The water was clear and refreshing. The pool was wonderfully warm even in November. This is a quiet, relaxing hotel and perfect for rejuvenation. The toiletries were very luxurious, the beds super comfortable, the rooms with lovely views. Of special note is the large pool overlooking their Versailles gardens. Wow, what a place for a special event! Also note that if you want to go to the water park at Atlantis, it is complimentary with your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here and cannot wait to go back!

To start with, whenever we travel, we almost always stay at a Four Seasons hotel—unless there isn’t one available, Four Seasons is our top choice. I’ve never encountered so many issues at any Four Seasons property. This hotel has had issues you rarely see even at other lower level hotel. Our family of four came here to celebrate my eldest’s 8th birthday, (we are still on the property), and we booked a one-bedroom suite. First, I have to say, the view is absolutely stunning—breathtaking. Every restaurant at the Four Seasons has amazing food; even my picky husband couldn’t stop praising the flavors. However, I am extremely disappointed in this Four Seasons hotel. Within the first 24 hours of our stay, several issues arose. First, while washing my face in the morning, I noticed the sink plug wouldn’t open, causing water to pool up. I had to manually pry it open to let the water drain. Then, during lunch, I discovered that the avocado in my tuna bowl was blackened, which immediately put me off finishing my meal. We mentioned the issue with the blackened avocado to Ramesh, one of the butlers, who immediately reported it to the hotel. I must say, Four Seasons truly excels in this regard—the communication among their staff is exceptionally smooth. Whether it’s about food or room service, they ensure that everyone is promptly informed of any issues we encounter. Shortly afterward, Tess, the Assistant Food & Beverage Manager, approached me to apologize and assured me that our dinner celebration for our child that evening would go smoothly. With her reassurance, we felt confident it would be a perfect evening. In the evening, which was meant to be a special birthday dinner for my child, we had reservations at Dune. But as the kids came back from the hotel pool to shower, we found there was no hot water. I called the front desk for assistance, and after waiting over half an hour, we finally had hot water. As the kids used the bedroom shower, I used the one in the living room, only to come out and find the entire bathroom flooded. I had to call for cleaning. By the time we were ready, we were already half an hour late for our dinner reservation, and the kids were starving. Arriving at Dune, we encountered an even more shocking experience. First, the server didn’t introduce himself. My husband ordered a steak but was given neither a fork nor a steak knife. He asked the server once for a fork and received it but no steak knife. Starving, he waved for the server while attempting to cut the steak with a regular knife, making for an awkward scene. Since our meal was delayed, the kids were exhausted by the end, so we decided to pack the leftovers and take them back to our room to eat after they went to bed. Then, the most unbelievable thing happened: in this restaurant, supposedly helmed by a Michelin chef, the server handed us four containers without asking if we’d like him to box up the food for us, then turned around and walked away. My husband and I lo

When booking the hotel I called and was told the rooms had been renovated two years ago. They did not look like it. Both blocks of rooms looked the same. The food in the Jean-George restaurant was terrible. There was no breakfast buffet, no place mats, non matching coffee cups, spotty service. I was told this was being addressed but honestly the worst Four Seasons I have ever stayed in. Lots of other odd details but I do not want to spread negativity, I was just very excited to visit and very let down.

This is our 5th time to stay at The Ocean Club. W we are avid travelers, including Maldives, Dubai, Bora Bota, the Brando, Tahiti etc. We find The Ocean club wonderful and five star every time we go. In particular, Prince, the house manager/butler always takes care of our needs in every way. He always goes out of his way to assist me and my guests to have the perfect stay. Highly recommend if you want relaxed quiet place. Pat and Martha Aucoin

Best of both worlds . Grounds beautiful and quiet with whatever you want 5 min away. Hotel is classic and service was good. Helen in spa gave strong deep tissue massage and beach quiet and peaceful . Only issue was beach service , when we approached staff for chairs / towels I was not greeted but asked if I was staying at hotel even through I walked down hotel stairs . Fair enough but pointing to chairs and waiting for another person to walk by to ask for towels and menu was unnecessary. Dune restaurant is average at best . Service was sparse and food blah. Plenty of great places to eat around but make resos before you arrive
