This restaurant did not live up to the hype. The mansion is beautiful; however, every single item served - both food and cocktails - were overdone, over-seasoned, overcooked, etc. it was just all either too sweet or too strong or too salty; just too heavy handed. Service was slow. Also the ambience was ruined by a raucous group of drunk Americans cursing and shouting. Nothing was said to them ever. We asked to be moved to a different room. One by one, every table in that room asked to be moved as well. About 8 tables total! Yep, that makes more sense than moving the a**h*les to a private room.

We went to the Bahamas this year and got engaged. It was a wonderful trip and this tour guide was very fun, entertaining and educational. She changed the tour at one point to allow us extra time on the beach we were enjoying so much. The Bahama waters are beautiful and beaches were even better than expected. Loved every moment and can't wait to return. Our thoughts are with the people of Grand Bahama as they continue to rebuild and recover from the terrible effects of the recent storms.

Marvelous Tours started our trip off on a good note. Driver was waiting for us when our plane arrived. Smooth direct transport to our hotel while pointing out areas of interest. Pick up was not only on time but our driver arrived a little early even. We loved both Jeremy and Marvin. Would highly recommend. Thank you!!
