Port Lucaya Resort & Yacht Club

Frommer's Review

Comfortable, cost-conscious, unpretentious, and convenient, this resort opened in 1993 in the heart of the Port Lucaya restaurant, hotel, and nightlife complex. Many guests are drawn to the nautical atmosphere of the resort and its proximity to Port Lucaya Marketplace. It was designed as a compound of pastel-colored two-story structures that guests reach either on foot or (if they're transporting luggage) via golf cart after checking in. They're scattered in rows that wind around a horseshoe-shaped courtyard, very close to a marina and within a very short walk from the restaurants, bars, shops, and nightlife options of the marketplace at Port Lucaya. The wings of guest rooms separate the piers -- home for some very expensive marine hardware -- from a verdant central green space with a gazebo-style bar and a swimming pool. Although set inland on a waterway (Lucayan Harbour), this resort lies within a few minutes' walk of Lucaya Beach, one of the island's finest, and is also close to Taíno Beach. Even though it's not right on the beach, it's such an easy walk that no one seems to complain.

The medium-size rooms have tile floors and are attractively and comfortably furnished with rattan pieces and big wall mirrors. The rooms are divided into various categories, ranging from standard to deluxe, and open onto the marina (preferred by yachting guests), the Olympic-size swimming pool, or the well-landscaped garden. (If you don't want to hear the sounds coming from the lively marketplace, request units 1-6, which are more tranquil and distanced from the noise.) Bathrooms are tidy but not overly large, with tub/showers and a layout like what you might get at a middle-bracket motel in south Florida.
