Book Cheap Hotels in Royal Island

Property is breathtaking tropical paradise with beautiful coconut trees and bemuda grass; ocean view is incredible. Breakfast was excellent and reasonably priced; dinner was excellent but grossly overpriced; dinner staff was lost and inattentive. beaches were well maintained with paddle boards, and kayaks. Conveniently near the airport.

Valentines Resort and Marina, located on the bay side of Harbor Island, Eleuthera, is worth consideration if you're looking for a small, relatively quiet and attractive hotel in the Bahamas. The complex of pastel-colored buildings surround a lovely pool, and the office, open air bar/lounge, restaurant and shops are all within steps of one another at the shore end of the dock. A water taxi from Eleuthera (10 minute ride) delivers you directly to the resort where you are greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Harbor Island's famous pink sand beach on the ocean side is only a short walk across the island. Walking (or golf carting) around the island town is easy and safe, and there are multiple other places to eat. Be forewarned, however, that the cost of food and alcohol on Harbor Island is very high, and Valentines' a la carte prices are no exception. Overall, we were very satisfied: nice small hotel, friendly people. Our only complaint was that we were charged a daily "resort fee" even though our Travelocity confirmation specifically stated the fee was included in the price, and the hotel would not budge.

We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The beach is right outside the pool patio. Not crowded and easy swimming. The continental breakfast that came with the room was more than usual. My only issue was the price. It may just be typical for Harbour Island, but seemed xtremely expensive to me.

Stayed at Daddy Joe's and it was truly a wonderful experience. The owner and staff made me feel like family. Customer service is definitely the main priority here. Lots of tips on things to do and see while on the island. They will definitely make you feel loved and at home during your stay. Great price and delicious food as well :)

We flew to Eleuthera and took a water taxi to this resort. Beautiful flight and wonderful water taxi ride. We booked two rooms at Romora Bay and they were nice until you took a look at the bathrooms, very run down. Very relaxing location for a resort, and most of the staff were wonderful. We did however run into a rather perplexing situation when we tried to have dinner at their restaurant. We were refused service due to various reasons that the employee could come up with like they were full(empty restaurant), it was a very bad experience and we felt that we were being discriminated against because we hadn't pulled up in a yacht. If the staff member had been able to give me a reasonable answer on why were couldn't dine there, I would have accepted that. During one of the nights we stayed we were awoken in the early morning by a drunk girl pounding on the door, by the time I opened the door she was crying on the top of her lungs. My call to the desk was unanswered and there was no security in sight. The rest of the trip to Harbour Island was really nice and we enjoyed ourselves, but I would spring for a resort on the other side of the island next time even if it is more expensive.

My wife and I went with friends for a long weekend (4 nights). Getting to the island is a bit difficult, but once you get there, it is really beautiful. There are few cars- people mostly travel around on golf carts... which I recommend renting. The resort is situated on a perfect part of the Pink Beach. As beaches go... this is one of the most comfortable and beautiful. The sand is luxurious. We stayed in a two bedroom beachfront room. It was nicely decorated and comfortable. It is just about on the beach down a short path. The view from the room is lovely. We were surprised that the cleaning staff never replaced the shampoo, etc. We did get ice on one day, but had to get it on our own the other days. The patio towels were never replaced, but the room was kept very clean. There are two restaurants... one for breakfast and lunch, the other for dinner. First, be aware that the cost of food at the resort is very high. Breakfast was easily $ per person for eggs, muffin, coffee (and the tip they add automatically). Dinner was almost $ p/p with wine. We asked for three different wines on the list that they did not have. The front desk personnel were friendly but not of the high end customer service we would expect in a place like this. If you go, keep in mind the resort is big and so you have to walk a lot... but it's worth it given its beauty. There are roosters everywhere... very entertaining. Anyway, I would say I liked this place but did not love it. Given the cost, I can't see going back. But if you want to be alone and secluded, go to this resort!
