Firstly, what a fantastic time we had. The complex amenities were terrific and the staff really friendly.
The setting and the way the site is set up is well maintained and very clean. The children loved the pool beside Tradewinds with the beach nearby to play in.
As for the apartment , the decor was pleasing to the eye, spacious and it was pleasing to chill out in after a day at the theme park.
Will definitely be coming back in 2009!!!
The welcome pack on arrival was a very nice touch so thankyou for that.
All in all a first rate holiday was had by the whole family owing to the accommodation we chose.
Will be recommending you to our friends.
Thankyou

Hi,
we were very pleased with the apratment and resort although there were a couple of things that i feel could be improved,
i have listed them bellow. I would however reccomend your web site to my friends as you were very efficeint with the booking and a fair price.
. remote in lounge did not work, which is a nightmare when there are so many channels (Gary could have been the batteries all you had to do is ask reception to sort it out)
.The lounge only offered comfortable saeating for 5 people max, although our booking was for 6
.the resort would have benefitted fom a poole table in the games room and table tennis table. there was not much for the kids.
the pools were great, and the bars and service all excellent. Food also good on resort.
thanks

I am happy to leave feedback for the Bahama Bay. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed everything about our stay.
During our vacation we had moved about a bit and had arranged to spend our final week at the Bahama Bay - chilling!
On the drive from Cocoa Beach we encountered a severe thunderstorm but still managed to final the resort first time (well, almost). We did drive pass the left turn but after a quick "U" we were back on course.
Registration was quick and easy and we found our apartment with no trouble at all. Needless to say after so many hotel rooms, my family were delighted with the space and comfort of our 3 Bed Gran Bahama.
As others have said, lifting luggage for 5 people to our room (on 3rd floor, with no lift) was a bit hard going but after all the excesses in the various eateries - we needed a little exercise! (Gary you can ask for help from the frontdesk) 
We spent most of our time out and about - finding our way very easily. We used the restaurant only once and had a lovely meal.
We used the pool area at Tradewinds which we thought was lovely - lots of loungers and plenty of space. We had lunch at the poolside bar which, again, was lovely.
We didn't see the alligators but we did see raccoons and lots of lizards and my son saved a turtle (which was in the middle of the road during a thunderstorm).
We didn't find time to visit the pool or clubhouse until our last evening. Once again, it was lovely.
On our final morning when we went to check out we realised all the other things we had been missing by not visiting the clubhouse!
All in all, we had a fantastic time at the Bahama Bay and I cannot find anything to fault. I would recommend your resort to anyone and hope to revisit sometime in the near future.
Also, my contact details : Lynne Meikle ##############
would be interested in hearing about future phases at the Bahama Bay.

Hi Kendall
We came home yesterday, following a fantastic holiday. Bahama Bay was just fabulous.
We drove down the East Coast, from Virginia and Washington DC through North and South Carolina and onto Georgia and Florida. By the time we arrived at Bahama Bay we were ready for a break and a bit of luxury.
The resort certainly delivered. The apartment itself was large and clean, which meant that we were able to really sit back and relax. Great views too.
The staff at the Club house were helpful and arranged our Park tickets and even the photo shop chap (an ex-pat) was really welcoming. We wouldn't hesitate in recomending Bahama Bay.
Its an oasis away from the bustle of the Parks and highways and a real find!
Kind regards

Hi Kendall
Just to let you know, we had a great time at the Bahama Bay resort. The facilities were fantastic and the apartment was enormous, which was great when you've got two families sharing.
It was good to have washing facilities, meaning that we came back with clean clothes rather than a suitcase full of washing.
There was everthing we could have needed in the apartment, making our stay an enjoyable one and being close to all the theme parks was a bonus.
If we ever go back to Florida, we would certainly stay at the Bahama Bay resort and will be recommending it to all our family and friends in the future.
Kind regards

Hi Kendall
- we did indeed enjoy our vacation at Bahama Bay - who wouldn't when you get 6 weeks of beautiful warm weather when our own winter stays below freezing with tons of snow, sleet and icy conditions. We had a wonderful time and to top it off we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary while we were in Florida.
We can't say enough kudos about your concierge, Esther Miller. She was instrumental in providing us with just the perfect restaurant (Narcoossees at the Hotel Floridian) looking out over the water with Disney's Magic Castle in the background and topped off with a spectacular fireworks display.
She not only made the arrangements and reservation she also picked up a corsage and suggested another of your employees (Nixon, of Nixon's Transport) as our driver for the evening. We had flown in our kids from Canada for a surprise visit for my wife and the entire evening was a huge success.
Esther also guided us through other fine dining and shopping experiences throughout our stay. We would be remiss if we didn't mention the rest of the staff at Bahama Bay who were always cheerful and most helpful - from the gatekeepers to the clubhouse staff (particularly Gloria and Zack),
Helen in the front office and Dave and his staff at the Tradewinds Restaurant, bartender Marty at Mambo's and the maintenance guys scooting around in their golf carts, smiling and waving as they pass by.
Numerous other staff members provided helpful assistance as well - the friendly staff in the variety store, Alison from the Spa, and Rupert, the friendliest greeter we've met.
Our apartment unit (23-101) was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything we needed, and the grounds and pools throughout the resort were well maintained. A camaraderie of sorts developed amongst some of the longer term residents and we spent many hours discussing and resolving world affairs as we enjoyed Happy Hour at pool-side
An on-site video rental store (with current movies) would be a welcome addition - at least for the longer term residents. Perhaps periodic Bingo games and/or Movie Nights for Adults might also be useful.(Gary i will look into that)
All in all, we personally had a great time during our 6 week stay and have already received favourable pricing from you for a longer stay next year which we are about to confirm.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Floyd and Golda Lucas,

loved the hot tub by the pool too. could not get my wife and her sister out of there as they planned all their shopping trips whilst bubbling away the day .

Reviewer:Chuck Radcliffe USA
Hi Kendall,
I would be happy to give you feedback on our recent stay (Feb. 18, - Mar. 10, 2007) at Bahama Bay.
We stayed in Abacos unit B02615 which I am told is in one of the first buildings built about 4 or 5 years ago. Even so, the unit was in excellent condition and everyone loved the place.
As you know, my wife and I stayed at the resort last year but this year our daughter, her husband and 2 young children stayed with us for 1 week. We had shown everyone pictures from last year's stay but they were still surprised by the beauty of the buildings and grounds.
The kids were thrilled with the pool right behind the unit and after a long day of sightseeing that's the first place they headed and stayed until dusk. We also enjoyed the clubhouse's pool and the convenience of Mambo's bar right there.
Joyce and I wanted to try lunch inside the Tradewinds but unfortunately we could only get service at the bar outside at the time. This year I brought my notebook computer and had no trouble connecting to the internet from inside the clubhouse.
When we first arrived there was a problem with one of the TVs. After reporting it someone arrived within the hour and had the problem fixed. Great service!
Also liked the idea of the large trash containers outside instead of setting the trash on the curb.( Gary yes they have been an improvement)  The only downside to the unit was that Joyce thought the washer/dryer combo was too small for six people. The dryer took a long time to dry out the pool towels and other items.
Also, there was some confusion about our reservation. Even though our room keys and car pass were set for 3 weeks, after 2 weeks the cleaning crew and front desk thought we were supposed to leave. Good thing I had a written copy of the reservation to clear things up.
(Gary yes we do ask our guests to take the paper work we supply just for these occasions) All in all, just as last year we had a great vacation and will be contacting you soon about reservations for next year.

 Best Regards, Chuck

Hi Kendall,
My family and I had a fantastic time during out stay at the Bahama Bay Resort. The apartment was fantastic with a great view over the lake and Beach.
The apartment was ideal and was much larger than it looked in the photo's. The staff at the resort were extremely friendly and helpful, even sending out an engineer at 11pm when we had a slight problem with hot water.
I would also like to thank you all at Bahama-Bay .co.uk for the efficient and friendly way you dealt with our booking and queries both by email and over the phone.
The welcome pack was invaluable, especially the maps, means I didn't have to rely on the tiny hard to read maps the rental firms give you. My family and I were impressed with the resort and high standard of the apartments and enjoyed our stay there immensely.
We have already recommended you to friends who are planning trips to Orlando and will definitely be back for our next trip to Orlando.
Thanks again and pass on our thanks to all the staff at the resort.

Kendall and Gary,
This recent visit to Bahama Bay was a business trip in which I had two other employees with me. The condo we had this year was exactly the same as last year and was very nice. Like last year after walking the Orlando convention center all day everyday it was very nice to come back to a quiet location with access to the pool/hot tub.
I will say you have changed the hours on the pool area back by the lake and would like to see it open later as we have been closer to the back pool than the front on other trips. Gary the local county has told us that as the pool hasn't got lights we must close at dusk, the clubhouse pool  has got lights and we are trying to increase the times) Overall I was very pleased with condo as usual and thank you.
We will continue to come back to Bahama Bay.
Best Regards,
Rusty

Reviewer:Carl James UK
Kendall,
First of all, Thank you so much for the tips on which apartment to book (B16113), it suited us perfectly.
We were a minutes walk from the pool and clubhouse, a five minutes walk from the restaurant, which was perfect after a good meal and we could even see the Disney fireworks going off in the distance, we all loved it.
Our journey from the airport was a bit of a nightmare, make sure that you listen to the car rental assistants when they provide you with directions, don't think that you know better and head towards Kissimmee, as you'll do what I done and get lost. The resort was, however well signed from the end of the 192 and the perfect driving distance from both International Drive/ the Universal Parks and the Disney parks, my wife was also pleased that the Orlando Premium Outlets were only a 10 minute drive away up the I4, however my bank manager wasn't so pleased, nor was the taxi driver that had to take our extra cases to the airport for us, as they wouldn't fit in the SUV.
When we first arrived, the kitchen was stocked with breakfast cereals, bacon and eggs, which is already a step further than any of the other Kissimmee apartments we've stayed in, in the past. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the apartment, it was perfect for us, 3 adults and 3 young children (2/4/8).
The kids couldn't believe "our new holiday home" and loved the heated pools, especially when we got back from the long walks around the theme parks, they were in their element.
All in all, the apartment was perfect and well sized, the grounds were immaculate and maintained throughout our stay, the staff were friendly and outgoing, the pools were clean and warm, which was great, as the soft December winds were getting chilly in the afternoon and Bob and the other 'gate keepers' were super courteous, with a salute or wave, each and every time you passed by, the kids loved them.
We haven't yet touched upon the downsides of our stay, but that's because there were none. This place is ideal for almost anyone, I've already recommended it a number of times to friends and colleagues and can't wait to go back late next year.
Happy Holidays...!
Regards,
Carl James

Hi Kendall, Hi Gary,
We had a great holiday - the apartment and the resort were perfect. We had no problems whatsoever and we will definitely recommend it on to friends and family should they holiday in Orlando.
The apartment had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. The following comment is a purely personal one, so please do not think it had a negative effect on our opinion of Bahama Bay. We have rented various properties (villas and apartments) throughout Florida and can never understand why the Owners choose to put down white/champagne coloured carpets - they are the first thing that tend to look tired and grubby - and can only be a headache to keep clean !!!( Gary yes i agree, as I run a family flooring company, this is a subject that I know a lot about, the reason that we have a beige carpet is because most are  chosen for us via the developer, it also makes the place feel bigger, we will be changing the carpets to a hardwood flooring in the lounge areas very soon )
Apart from that - wonderful.
Thanks for your help and the problem-free reservation.

Louise

Dear Gary and Kendall,
Just a short note to say what a fantastic holiday we had at the Bahama Bay Resort
We€™ve stayed in the Orlando area on a number of occasions now and have to say that the resort stands out as the place to stay.
The accommodation was great (spacious, clean, high grade furnishings) with excellent outlooks over the central pond and clubhouse.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we made full use of the bars and restaurants. I particularly liked the happy hour at the Tradewinds, when it lasted between 3 and 5 at the outside bar to be continued between 5 and 7 at the inside bar €“ most obliging.
The location of the resort was excellent being that far away from the main built up areas to make it peaceful, yet within easy reach of many bars and restaurants.
The drive to the theme parks and retail outlets is straight forward without any need to worry about the need for maps. It was my granddaughter€™s first visit to Florida and I think staying at the Bahama Bay improved her experience no end.
Many times we had to coax her out of the pool to go for something to eat or even to visit the parks. We had a real family holiday and will definitely be back to stay again.
Once again many thanks for making my families holiday something special.
Regards
Allan

Hi Kendall
We had a fantastic time at Bahama Bay and the apartment exceeded our expectations completely.
We have previously stayed in private villas and the apartment was definitely in the same luxury league. Everything was spotless and immaculate, it almost felt like we were the first people to have stayed there!
The welcome pack was much appreciated and it saved a lot of hastle by not having to go straight out again to get some basics. On arrival we were given a pack of leaflets by the guy on the gatehouse, one of which was a tourist map that showed Bahama Bay. This was really helpful and would definately have been something we would have appreciated in advance.
When we got there II realised I had forgotten the battery charger for my digital camera. I went and saw Glenn in the on-site photo shop and he helped me order one on-line and arranged for it to be delivered to his shop - all for no charge! - This was great service.
We also purchased our Disney tickets at Bahama Bay and found this to be a good service. We tried out all three pools, plus the children's pool and they were all great - my 3 yr old daughter especially liked the beach area where she could get covered in sand, then shower off and jump in the big pool.
The only down side was the fire alarm going off for about 5 seconds at 4am one morning - however mentioning it at reception the next day it had happened right across the complex so we didn't feel too picked on!!
When we left Bahama Bay to go to our next apartment in St Pete's Beach we wished we'd just booked the whole two weeks in Orlando - never mind there's always next time!!!

Hi Kendall
Sorry to take so long to get back to you. Once again we had a wonderful time staying at Bahama Bay this summer. This is the second year in a row and it was just as every bit as good as the first year.
The resort is only a short drive from Disney which is great when coming home after 10 hours of walking round theme parks with two young very tired children.
To be honest, I really can't think of any way to improve your resort. You seem to have thought of everything.
Well guess what, we are thinking about coming back again next year. Perhaps you can let me know about any possible discounts for returning guests.  (Gary 10% for Retuning Guests she has booked for the third straight year!! )

Dear Kendal & Gary,
Just thought we would drop you a note to say how much we enjoyed staying at your apartment at the Bahama Bay Resort. It was our first trip to Florida and we were a little unsure of how things would be. You dealt with our booking very professionally and provided all the necessary information to us.
We were all delighted to have a spacious and comfortable apartment which made us feel at home right away. After a day out at the theme parks we were glad to be able to relax both in the apartment and also using the excellent facilities at the resort. The staff there were discrete but helpful when needed. The only negative thing I can think of to mention is the arrangement for disposal of rubbish. Unfortunately, there were not any bins under the staircases and we, like others, had to leave it on the lawn areas.
(Gary all units now have bins under the staircases) The kids said €˜It was the best holiday we have ever had€™ and are keen to go back in the future.
I would be very happy to recommend you and the resort to friends and family.
Thank you once again and best wishes.

Dear Kendall & Gary,
Sorry for the delay in receiving our feedback on our stay.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bahama Bay. It was beyond our expectations. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds and common areas are beautifully landscaped and maintained. The pools and spas were very nice.
The condo was very nicely apportioned, very well maintained and very comfortable. We were so grateful to have some ROOM and not be cramped into a small hotel room with our three children (and I'm sure they were grateful as well).
Actually, the resort is so nice that we regretted that we didn't really have a day planned to just "chill out" at the condo. It really could be a destination in and of itself.
Another "plus" that we discovered was that staying at Bahama Bay gave me and my family a great opportunity to meet and visit with many interesting and wonderful citizens of the UK. At the time we were there, it seemed as though there were more people staying there from the UK than from the US.
We enjoyed the chance to meet and to talk to some folks from "across the pond!" Our kids found it facinating as well. The location of Bahama Bay is not bad, as it only took us about 15 minutes to reach the main Disney World drive, and that includes driving during some high density traffic times.
Access to grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants and other shopping was quick and easy.
To sum up our opinion, Bahama Bay was a great find and a remarkable value for us.
We will (and have) recommended it to several friends that asked about our trip. And we will definitely stay again when back in the Orlando area.
I'm really glad that we "discovered" Bahama Bay, and thanks for running such a great resort!

Hello Kendall & Gary Let me thank you for a wonderful and enlighten experience at Bahama Bay Resort.
Every member of our party was absolutely amazed and thrilled with the accommodations. The apartment excessed all of our expectations with it€™s beauty and cleanliness. The staff was very courteous and helpful.
We enjoyed a late night dinner at the TRADEWINDS restaurant upon our arrival. The food was outstanding and the staff catered to us after their normal closing hours.
Though we didn€™t spent much time using the amenities because of our family reunion schedule,
I myself enjoyed a walking tour of the resort. The beauty of the lake, the pools and landscaping are breathtaking. I had to take pictures to share with my family, friends and co-workers.
We experienced a small problem with our access keys and sugar ants in the kitchen area.
However the maintenance staff was prompt and professional in resolving these issues. I would not hesitate to recommend BAHAMA BAY RESORT to anyone seeking a new Florida vacation experience.
Also, I can honestly say and others will testify too, that BAHAMA BAY RESORT sets a new benchmark for any future vacation accommodations.

We last made a trip to the Orlando area during the Summer of 1992. What a change to the area. Anyway, our stay at the Bahama Bay Resort was fantastic & surpassed all our expectations.
There were 4 of us in our party including me & my wife & our 3 year old. We stayed in block 22 Condo 102. The condo was like being at home with all that you could ask for including a dishwasher; washing machine; tumble dryer & a huge fridge. I could go on for ages.
Very clean; spacious etc. Even the carpets were spotless very unusual in a lot of the accommodation we have stayed in whilst travelling throughout the States.
The resort itself definitely 5* +. You never get the feeling that it's overcrowded as there is just acres of space. Pool area for adults & kids is great. The drive to all the major attractions is under 30 mins & it's nice to come back to a quiet setting to get away from the crowds at the parks etc.
Negatives - only a few: A. As we were on the ground floor we could hear the guests upstairs making noise. We did knock their door & the noise stopped. (Gary sometimes young children jump around getting excited going to the parks in the morning, as Brian said a little knock on the door did the trick or a call to the reception would resolve the problem )B. The boiler in the hall way was very loud when it came on during the night. C. Fridge was very loud. D. Dishwasher leaked slightly - called maintenance . Came over but still leaked slightly. E. Sprinkler system. I'm a light sleeper so when it came on at about 04:30 I heard it.(Gary sometimes when you stay in a new place it takes awhile to get used to the noises, as you have pointed out you are a very light sleeper)
Would we come back. YES, YES, YES. My wife is keen to come back for Xmas but being realistic we may come back next year Summer or Summer 2008.
Would love to buy one of these condo for rental purposes. Can you send me some details.
Feel free to put this on your site.

This was our first trip to Florida,
Bahama Bay was recommended by the travel agent. I am so pleased he recommended it. It was absolutely perfect. The apartment was clean, well furnished, everything we could have wished for. We loved the pools and spent many an evening playing volleyball in the pool until midnight.
The poolside snackbar was excellent, the chicken wings....delicious, and delivered to your room if required.
All of the pools were clean and the whole resort was beautifully kept. Our hot water stopped working one day, I called reception and the repairman came within an hour and fixed it. It was a 20 minute drive to Disney parks, new road not yet open,
so glad we didn't stay on I drive as it reminded me of an english seaside resort. The drive in was nice, picked up breakfast on the way.. Cannot find one single fault, I am sure we will be back again.
Thank you very much.

Gary, Just a word about our recent stay at Bahama Bay (BB). We (family of 5) have taken holidays in Florida on 5 occasions and first stayed at BB in July 2005 and were very impressed with the complex overall, so much so that we had discussed purchase of a property and a definite repeat visit in July 06, indeed a few of our friends have also stayed at BB on our recommendation.. Our accommodation was again first class and located where we required. My comments really are concerned with the Trade winds Pool, restaurant.(Gary, Robert complained about the restaurant and I have passed his comments to the manager and the management company to address )
We were well impressed by the drive and enthusiasm of Marty the barman, who got to know his customers and nothing was too much trouble. He is an asset to the complex and we missed him at the weekends.
Whist our comments appear on the negative side, BB is still a wonderful place to holiday, all I would say is to keep an eye on the standards to keep the 4/5 star rating,
if small aspects start to slip then people will not return.  I hope you appreciate our comments and would gladly discuss any other aspects on 0********

We have just returned from our second family holiday at Bahama Bay. The first time (Easter 2005), was such a great holiday we just had to go back for the second time to see if it would be as good, (Easter 2006). It was as good and we are already planning our 2007 holiday at Bahama Bay.
The resort is of a 5 star standard with a friendly atmosphere with people at hand who only want to help you.
Disney is a 15 minute drive away and with 2 new roads going in, it will half the time to get to the Disney roads. Once on the Disney roads it is very easy to reach all the local attractions. We found it very easy to get around.
I am quite a fussy person but I find it very difficult to fault Bahama Bay. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to do the Florida thing. Lots of our friends have been and have been equally impressed.
Read Gary€™s notes in the welcome pack, as things like good restaurants and short cuts are well worth knowing.
We will be back again in 2007.

Hi Kendall and Gary.
What can I say€¦
This was the first time south for my wife and I in 13yrs. So we were like kids anticipating this trip.
I am having difficulty finding anything wrong with the resort, and just loved it!!!!
When first introduced to the apt. I was amazed with the space and room, layout, etc. It was so very comfortable and I really tried to treat the room like it was my own.
Every little nuance of the facility was perfect including the 75 acres to move around, the pool, the beach, the grounds, the step in shower, the sitting area in and out. I could go on and on.
It was very important to my wife and I that we had a comfortable place and I researched it very well. In fact, the lady at our local travel agency who first mentioned this place to me, will probably get a gift.
What would I improve on? I would look at the carpet and replace it with either the new berber material that is available or laminate. Berber would be perfect because it is nice to have something warm under the feet.(Gary i am looking into laying Laminate in the lounge area) Sorry I don€™t have more to say on improvements, but we were very happy.
We were there a day, when we decided we would return to Florida next year. I have sentiment towards returning to the Bahama Bay Resort, but my wife would like to land on a beach next year and we are looking at the gulf coast, just for a change.( Gary i am thinking of buying on the gulf coast and maybe could offer you a dual place to stay, and my place in Antigua will be finished after April 07) Having said that, our thoughts may evolve throughout the next few months, and I was wondering if I could get a quote on something for next year.

Gary and Dawn,
We just wanted to say that we had a lovely time at Bahama Bay. The apartment was fantastic and the whole resort was a lovely peaceful haven away from the theme parks, etc.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who asks. We didn't bump in to you or Jane and Steve anymore, but hope you had a good time too.
We finished our holiday in New York which was brilliant - now I've been to Tescos it doesn't feel like I've been away!!
Once again, thanks for renting us the apartment for our break and we'll definitely be going back!!

We had a great holiday in Florida and thought the apartment at Bahama Bay to be very high spec and excellent quality and value.
For a family including our two young grandchildren this was the best sort of accommodation, spacious, relaxed etc. Already I am recommending it to people at work with young families and see it as far better than hotels for convenience and value.
(This is our 7th visit to Florida for me and my wife, so we have experience of the alternatives.) All of Disney is near, although the traffic was heavy since it seemed to be school holidays locally.
The swimming pool is fine and, as a bit of a €˜twitcher€™, I enjoyed the bird life on the two small lakes. They are lacking rain at the moment and drying out which brings in the wading birds €“ a minority interest, I accept, but anyone would enjoy the surroundings.
Your instructions for getting there were very good by the way.
As a suggestion for improvement, rather than a complaint, I wonder why the rubbish is to be left by the side of the road in bags, although it is removed quickly. It looks unsightly.
(Gary see above) Also, whilst the welcome food pack was a very pleasant surprise, it is a shame that the little shop does not offer a few more basic for a quick breakfast etc, rather than have to go to Publix nearby.
Finally, I paid $40 to get into the place early since it was ready by mid-day and I did not have to wait with tired children until 4 p.m. This was good value if available.

Hi Kendall,
We had a fantastic time at Bahama Bay. The resort was relaxing, attractive and friendly, and (like our apartment) immaculately maintained. The children loved visiting the theme parks, but were at least as happy spending the day splashing about in the various pools, meeting other families in the resort and just enjoying the feeling of being in such a nice place. There's far too much to do to fit in one visit, so we might well come back again one day (the kids are asking already).
Our only minor suggestion would be to review the IT facilities in the clubhouse: some of the games consoles and internet terminals weren't working properly when we visited. Overall it was great fun, and you and the staff at Bahama Bay handled all the arrangements impeccably.
Best wishes,
James

Hi Kendall,
My wife and I had a GREAT time at Bahama Bay, and highly recommend it.
We had an Andros from Feb 18 - 25. The heart-shaped deep-soaking tub was a real luxury, as was the large shower stall with a generous spray of hot water.
Bath towels were also in generous supply. We enjoyed breakfasts on the lanai, and found the kitchen and dining room well equipped.
We took several meals at the Trade Winds restaurant and found them delicious and reasonably priced. (There could be a little more variety in the luncheon menu.)(Gary , We have new managers at the resort who will be adding a new menu very soon)
Assistance with finding good off-site restaurants, shopping, and Orlando attractions was a plus.
We found the pool behind the main building to be a bit cool and noisy (kids will be kids.) ( as I have said before we had a problem with this pool and our pool company, this has been resolved, and as from the 8th March three new pool heaters have been fitted)  But once we discovered the pool nestled behind building 8, we enjoyed several afternoons of warm water and quiet sunning.
We thought that the practice of leaving trash in plastic bags at the curb was rather inelegant, not in keeping with the "class act" image of everything else at the resort. ( Yes I agree but it is removed three or four times a day, so most people do not notice ,We have bins in phase one and we are looking into a more elegant way of removal.
On checking out we were surprised with a $37 bill for phone usage. We had assumed that there would be no charge for non-toll calls from our room, as this is getting to be the standard at better hotels in the US.
The desk clerk kept repeating that there was a notice of the charge on a card by the phone, but there was no such card by the phone in our room. We thought some compromise could have been worked out, and that the clerk was unnecessarily inflexible. I am sorry about that, We are having a guest directory put into all rooms very shortly, this will explain all costs , and it is something I will include in all our welcome packs in the future )
On balance we thought that Bahama Bay was an excellent vacation resort, and we surely expect to be coming back.

Hi Kendall,
In response to your email we did have a great time at your resort and the unit that we rented exceeded our expectations.
The apartment was spacious, clean and had all the amenities that we needed. I would recommend your facility.
The only area of concern was temperature of the pool by the restaurant as we were not able to swim in the frigid water. (we have had a little trouble with that pool and the heater is being replaced Gary)
Your staff was very pleasant and responded to our every need. We are hoping to be back next year.

Hi Kendall
Just to let you know we had a great stay a Bahama Bay.
We are considering returning next year and to be honest we wouldn`t even
bother looking at other accommodation!
Our apartment,a Grand Bahama was very spacious and well equipped with a
lovely view over an orange grove.(It would be a shame if the orange grove
was lost to a "development")
All the staff at Bahama Bay were very friendly and helpful. My only criticism
is the resort is not well signed and would have been very difficult to find
without the info pack.

I have to admit I was nervous about booking direct, having always used
Travel agents in the past but I needn't have worried. The booking procedure
was very simple and efficient, deposits etc acknowledged quickly, emails were
also answered quickly .It was also reassuring to check on the web site that
our particular apartment had been booked.

We all felt Bahama Bay is a lovely place to stay and wouldn`t hesitate
recommending it to family and friends and will definitely be staying there
again one day.

Hi Kendall,
Happy new year!!!
I really enjoyed the stay at Bahama Bay.
I invited my friend's family to trip to Florida. Orlando was the first visit of our trip. The resort was very large, clean and well maintained.
Rooms were also very clean and comfortable. Staffs were very kind as well. My friend's family also were very pleased with the resort.
I'm really satisfied with the stay at Bahama Bay.
The only minor problem was the location. Since I came to Orlando at night, it was a little bit difficult for me to locate the resort. There were not many sign for the resort.
I appreciate your kindness.

Hi Kendall,
Thanks for your follow-up email. We had a great time at Bahama Bay over the Christmas break. The resort was clean, quiet, attractive and well-located.
The staff was welcoming, friendly and competent, and the apartment was clean and well-stocked.
We liked the restaurants, the pools and the playground for the kids, as well as the generously sized apartment rooms.
All in all we were very happy with our stay, and think that Bahama Bay stands above most all of the condo rentals we've done over the past several years in Florida.
Your booking service was prompt and professional as well. We'd be happy to come back!

We had a great time. We really enjoyed staying at Bahama Bay. We will be back in the future.
2 things you might want to look at.
1. there is a gap under the front door and we had a friend one morning (a small bug) in the foyer. ( Gary, thank you for pointing this out I will get it rectified) 2. The carpet seemed to be a bit abused. stains) (Gary again i will get it deep cleaned, we do have a major spring clean programmed very soon)
I am sure that you have a lot of guests throughout the year and they don't take care of it like they would their own house.
Both are minor concern. We arrived at night and were surprised to wake up to an orange grove in back yard.
It was quiet at night unlike most hotels so getting a good nights sleep was not a problem.
Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your condo. We have and will continue to tell our friends about Bahama Bay. Bruce Smucker

Gary, We recently stayed at the resort and had booked through you. We really enjoyed the resort and would recommend it to our friends.
It was very clean and well maintained.
One small feedback is that the staff at the reception (excluding Matt), in particular one lady whose name we don't know was not very friendly or helpful. In fact we travel a lot and this was the first time where the attitude was a "don't care" attitude. Just thought we should let you know this. ( Gary,Sorry about this, I will forward this to my management company and try to find the culprit, it is unusual as most of our feedback is positive regarding the staff.)
Are you associated with any other similar condo resorts in Florida because we would be interested in the future.

Kendal,
What can I say. We had a fantastic time and our 2005 holiday at Bahama Bay was very memorable.
As you know, we booked 4 separate apartments and were all delighted with them. It was like being home from home. They were well equipped, spotlessly clean and the location was excellent, close to the parks but just far enough away.
The site itself was lovely from the swimming pool and beach area to the club house and my only suggestion would be to add a pool table.( Gary I will look into that)
Although we did not use the Trade Winds Restaurant for dinner, we ate there a few times for lunch and the food was good if a little expensive.
Service was a little slow as there was only one person covering drinks and food. Not a problem on cooler days but on the hot days another pair of hands would have been good. (Gary more staff are available when we are busy )
All the staff we dealt with were very efficient and pleasant, from the Reception area to the cleaners. and I would have no hesitation in recommending Bahama Bay.
Kind regards
Linda

Hi kendal
just like to say what a great time we had.
could not believe the size of the grand bahama villa and how beautiful it was.
the staff in the resort were extremely nice and they could not do enough for you especially Nikon who was great.
you could not wish to stay anywhere nicer than this resort 5 star we could see the disney fireworks from are balcony which was nice after along day out at the parks.
inside the villa everything you would need is there and the resort has plenty to offer.
once the main entrance goes straight onto the 192 this will improve the accessibility of the resort.
we cannot wait to return and hopefully this will be in the near future.

We were so impressed with Bahama bay.
The apartment was large, very comfortable and packed with everything you could possibly need.It was spotlessly clean and just such a pleaure to come back to after a busy day of theme parks.
The resort itself was well looked after, all the staff could not be more helpful and the place just had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
I have to say it was the first holiday I have booked over the internet and I was a bit nervous what I would find at the other end! I have to say it surpassed all my expectations and was incredibly good value for money.
I will recommend you whenever ever I can and if I ever find the strength to do disney again!!! I would only go if I could stay at Bahama Bay.

Reviewer: Carl Mann UK

Small, dull, overlooked and very overcrowded, thats the worst thing about coming home, after staying in such a fantastic apartment. Before booking Bahama Bay, we looked through piles of holiday brochures, and looked at hundreds of hotels, villas and resorts on the internet, nothing came close to the style, quality and space of Bahama Bay. There was eight in our party, my husband and I, our four youngest aged 14/16/17/19, our 25 year old daughter and her husband.
It is very important to me that we have a family holiday every year, and as many of our children as possible come with us (we only left three at home). Even though we go together, usually we are split into several small hotel rooms. We didn't have that problem at Bahama Bay with our very, very large apartment.
We had more than enough space for everyone. The master bedroom with ensuite was ideal for my daughter and son-in-law, it gave them total privacy.
The staff at the resort were all very friendly, three of which stick in my mind. Pat, security on the gate, always made us feel special with his salute and thumbs up. Joe, waiter at the Tradewinds on our first night, was so friendly, always had a smile. Lastly we went to the shop on our first afternoon to get essential supplies (teabags & milk). My husband asked if we would like to go to the bar for a drink while we were there, which we did, as soon as we sat down the barman brought an ashtray to our table, my husband remarked about how quick we were given an ashtray, as though I looked desperate to have a cigarette. I told my husband that I hadn't brought my cigarettes with me as I thought we were only going to the shop. The barman came back to our table with his cigarettes and lighter and gave me one of his. I thought this was a very kind gesture (Sorry to the non-smokers I know its a disgusting habit). I can't praise Bahama Bay enough, but there is nothing I can say or no matter how many photos I have taken, will ever do the resort justice.
We don't usually holiday in the same place, but we are so impressed with Bahama Bay that we have decided that we are definately going back.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.

As you know we really love the place and are already looking at going back next year for another 3 weeks, June wants four

Just returned after 3 fantastic weeks at the Bahama Bay. We returned again this year to this resort as quite simply it's the best.
Stayed in the Andros two bed apartment and it was stunning and is probably bigger than my three bed semi her in the UK.
The resort itself is exceptionally well maintained and the view early morning over Lake Davenport just has to be seen.
The last of the building work is almost complete but it is well away from where you stay so has no effect at all.
All I can now say is I cannot wait till next time year when we will certainly return.

Kendall,
We had a great time staying at Bahama Bay.
The booking couldn't have been easier. Everything you said about this complex was true. It was excellent, really well maintained and the staff  were very helpful.
Four of us stayed in a two bedroom Andros apartment, which was really clean  and had everything you could want in a holiday home. If I was to be really critical, the only negative points I could make are:
1. Its location... A car is a must. While it is close to Disney, it is quite a drive to most other entertainment centres, i.e. Universal Studios,  International Drive, Kissimmee etc. ( Universal is 30 min away and we  always suggest  that a car is a must  Gary )  
2. There is still some building going on although it didn't seem to have  any negative impact on guests.( Gary, the building work is in the last phase and is all finished apart from internals, this will be all completed by Christmas and is very far away from the clubhouse and beach)  Overall, the Bahama Bay is a great place stay and I would strongly recommend  it.

I stayed at the bahama Bay resort in August this year. One word......PERFECTION.
Myself,partner,mother in law and 2 kids sayed in the 3 bed Grand Bahama (penthouse!!!). The accomodation was superb. A huge double room with walk in wardrobe,en suite and jacuzzi bath. Another double room with another massive wardrobe and shared ensuite with the twin bedroom with another huge wardrobe!!. How much wardrobe space do you need!!!
The living room was so spacious,dining area and furniture was fantastic,huge kitchen and even bigger fridge,laundry room with washer and dryer. This was heaven. The carpet was even perfect, After a day walking around the parks,it was bliss to take off your shoes and walk on the very soft fluffy carpet. (sad i know!!)
The whole complex was so beautiful,we were in block 18 room and this over looked the huge lake. It was so beautiful to wake up in the morning and see that every day. Hot air balloons often floating along the lake,the early morning haze and the beautiful sunset. ( be warned...there are alligators in there but no signs to say so!!!)
Pool area was always cleaned every morning,beach are was lovely,jacuzzi's were quite hot but lovely once you get in. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. The barman even went out his way to make me a cocktail he hadnt heard of. The restaurant satff are brilliant,they cant do enough for you. Even though the tips are included in the bill we always gave extra.
The bar at the club house isnt as nice as the bar at the tradewinds restaurant but is ok.
The secrity guard at the entrance is always smiling and you get a salute or thumbs up every time you go past.
The Bahama Bay is a little out of the way but worth the drive. As a travel agent i will sell this as much as i can....this is such a great place to stay and we will be going back in 2009. i would rate this as a 5* plus. Its perfect.

Dear Kendall;
I just wanted to let you know how happy we were at your property last July. I really meant to write to you as soon as we got back but our family was still with us until the first week in August.
We truly loved the resort and it could not have been more comfortable. The condition of the house was marvelous. There was nothing we needed that you didn't have. Before we left for the airport, I tried to wash all the sheets and towels but ran out of time. I think I needed to do one more batch.
The only think that I would suggest could help other tourists is the fact that the directions we were given were very confusing. I think there is a more simple way of getting to the resort from the airport. (Gary we are looking into a more direct route on our instructions)
My husband was the driver and quickly figured out a much easier way on getting to all the attractions. I think the first night, we arrived so late and then arriving during the night was difficult considering we were unfamiliar with the area. I will ask my husband to write a set of directions we think would work better to get to your place and I will email them to you.
Thank you so much for everything. If we get back to that area again we will definitely we would book with you again.

Hi Kendall
We had a fantastic time at Bahama Bay and the apartment exceeded our expectations completely. We have previously stayed in private villas and the apartment was definitely in the same luxury league. Everything was spotless and immaculate, it almost felt like we were the first people to have stayed there! The welcome pack was much appreciated and it saved a lot of hastle by not having to go straight out again to get some basics.
On arrival we were given a pack of leaflets by the guy on the gatehouse, one of which was a tourist map that showed Bahama Bay. This was really helpful and would definately have been something we would have appreciated in advance.( Gary I will get a copy on my next visit and will send out with all future reservation details)
When we got there II realised I had forgotten the battery charger for my digital camera. I went and saw Glenn in the on-site photo shop and he helped me order one on-line and arranged for it to be delivered to his shop - all for no charge! - This was great service. We also purchased our Disney tickets at Bahama Bay and found this to be a good service.
We tried out all three pools, plus the children's pool and they were all great - my 3 yr old daughter especially liked the beach area where she could get covered in sand, then shower off and jump in the big pool.
The only down side was the fire alarm going off for about 5 seconds at 4am one morning - however mentioning it at reception the next day it had happened right across the complex so we didn't feel too picked on!!
When we left Bahama Bay to go to our next apartment in St Pete's Beach we wished we'd just booked the whole two weeks in Orlando - never mind there's always next time!!!

Dear Gary and Kendall
We had a lovely holiday at Bahama Bay. Thank you for dealing so efficently with our booking. Everything went off without a hitch. The directions you gave were fine but maybe best to say that you stay on the 192 for a few miles before seeing the sign for Haines City as the current wording hints that you come across this sign quite soon.
We were absolutely delighted with our accommodation and found it very spacious, well-furnished and exceptionally clean. It had every facility we could wish for (the only suggestion I would make is that a plug-in kettle would be better than the heat-on-the hob version but this is really a very minor point!) The resort itself was a really peaceful haven away from the busy parks and shopping malls. We particularly liked the little beach by the pool and lake and felt that it was great to chill out there.
We would love to go back some day and have no hesitation in recommending Bahama Bay to everyone. All age groups seemed to be having fun there and enjoying the Florida sunshine!

Dear Kendall and Gary,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in your Andros condo. The resort is so well landscaped with all the amenities you could ask for.
The decor in the apartment was superb with all the comforts of home. The whole booking process was so easy on the web and the staff in the clubhouse were very helpful.
We took the Toll 417 to I4 to I27 route from Sanford (approx. 1.5 hours) and found the resort easily. The Walmart and Publix supermarkets are just around the corner and the restaurant on site proved useful after a long day at the parks.
We particularly liked the idea of our own apartment with it's privacy but the security of the Staff in the clubhouse, should we need them.
All in all, I couldn't fault the Bahama Bay. This was our first stay in the resort and without doubt, the best when visiting Florida. I've recommended your condo to friends and work colleagues and are now in the process of booking for next year.

We enjoyed our stay at Bahama Bay very much. I especially enjoyed the fact that, at least for now, it's away from the busier traffic areas and it was easy to make a quick trip to the grocery store or to do a little shopping.
As for the resort, check-in was quick and easy. The front desk personnel were professional and helpful in explaining procedures. The resort itself is a relaxing environment. The pools and entertainment areas were clean and neat. Our room was clean and prepared nicely when we arrived. The majority of everything we needed to prepare the meals we had in was present.
The website was helpful in preparing us for our visit. I printed out much of the info before our trip and used it to get us started with the vacation when we arrived. It was a good representation of what we found.

Dear Kendal,
just a line to say how wonderful Bahama Bay Resort was! It was clean, spacious and luxurious. We were unfortunate to be in Florida when it was the wettest June since 1968 but the fact that we could retreat to the tranquility of B. B. meant that our holiday wasn't marred so much.
The staff were very helpful and the pools were clean and had plenty of beds and tables and chairs. The appartments had everything you could need, with a TV in each bedroom, and the ice dispenser fridge made it all the more "American"! There were loads of Satellite TV channels - something we'd been worried about - and the Disney Parks were really, really close.
In fact, my sister was staying in the International Drive area at the same time and it was like visiting "Concrete City" when we went to her appartment. The view was of other similar appartments or hotels, the atmosphere was impersonal and they didn't have as many satellitle channels as we did. At B. B. it was tranquil, green and had that well manicured look which was a pleasant contrast from the hectic hours at the parks. B.B. also had a very friendly atmosphere and it was possible to enjoy the company of the other residents if you chose to spend the day at the resort instead of a theme park.
We would definately stay in one of your appartments again and can confidently advise anybody to do the same. The first day "welcome call" from you was nice too as it made us feel somebody out there cared!
Thanks again for a great stay at B. B. The Feld Family 2005

to Disney - spot on. Having Our family of four stayed at Bahama Bay for two weeks early July 2005 and it really was a fantastic place to stay. Would absolutely recommend it -lovely, lovely accommodation. This was our first trip to Florida and we were going to opt for a hotel on International Drive. Forget it!! Why get stuck in one bedroom for 2 weeks when you can have a family size house to roll around in. You'll definately appreciate the space and privacy if you are travelling as a family. We were in a beautiful "Andros" apartment at Bahama Bay. Two gorgeous bedrooms with their own bathrooms - ours had a huge walk in shower, double sink, jacuzzi-size bath. The kitchen was immaculate - I don't think anything had ever been used in it - or maybe thats just the upkeep of the place. Both bedrooms had televisions with satellite. And for the mummys out there - the laundry room just off the kitchen with washing machine and tumble dryer meant I didn't return home with two weeks worth of washing. The living room was very comfortable with a pull out bed that our two kids opted to sleep on so they could crash in front of the TV, DVD, Hi-Fi. We're not talking Costa Brava pull out bed here - we are talking very, very comfortable double-bed. I know some people may think the staff rude perhaps but we had no experience of this at all - we didn't really see them that much because we were out and about each day - one persons intrusiveness is another persons friendly - right?? If you need something they'll help you out. They were as friendly as any restaurant/bar staff in the UK. One thing that was really helpful was we were escorted to our condo on arrival by a lovely man called Nixon. He showed us maps of the local area, told us about the resort, shopping nearby, etc. Very nice man and very helpful especiallly for us first-timers. The security guy is a laugh - thumbs up every time you pass. Drawbacks??? None really just be careful - we had a ground floor condo - you could get a 2nd or 3rd floor one and I wouldn't fancy a hike up the high stairs after running round the theme parks all day. And don't be put off by the drive down the 192 to the resort - you might think oh no we're out in the sticks but you really, really aren't at all. Five mins and you are in the thick of shops and restaurants and really only 15mins somewhere lovely and quiet to return to after a busy day or even just to have a day off relaxing it perfect. The swimming pools and whirlpools stay open to after 10pm - the water was nice & warm. Poolside bar means you can have a little nightcap while the kids relax. Also - check out the deck and the man-made beach at the lake edge behind the Tradewinds restaurant on the site - its really pretty and peaceful. One final thing - the signpost of Bahama Bay is teeny-tiny (don't know why) but just look out for the Davenport Estates sign and you know to turn down this exit for Bahama Bay. Thats it - hope you enjoy your holiday

Hi
This is just to say that Bahama Bay is so easy to find.
Travel West on the Interstate 4, Turn right at 64B onto the US192 heading west, left onto the US27 heading south and its about 5mins drive along on the right hand side. The road you need it Florence Villa Grove Road and the estate its on (this you will see from the US27) is marked Lake Davenport Estates.
You really cant miss it so ignore the feedback on this site about the place being hard to find. We travelled from Sanford Airport and it took about 1 hour 20mins.
Bahama Bay itself is superb. We stayed in a 2 bedroomed 2 bathroomed condo. It was huge. Its a great resort, friendly helpful staff and the restraunt Tradewinds was lovely. The waitresses there took a shine to our little girl who had just turned one and they certainly took the stress out of eating out with a little one. Thank you, especially to Ludmilla.(see feedback below to offset Gary)
Bahama Bay is a really good base for seeing Florida. 25 mins to Disney, 1.5 hours to Daytona Beach and the same to Clearwater. Highway 192 has all the restraunts that International Drive has and the start of it s only 5 mins away.
Thank you Bahama Bay for a lovely holiday, if we had the money we would buy one of the apartments that are currently being built. We loved it and hope to return in a couple of years.
Thank you,
Richard, Trisha, Jack and Poppy.

Hi, Feedback on the apartment and resort.
The resort was fantastic in terms of the high quality etc, and the apartment was great as well. Pity the 3rd bedroom had no tv, that was murder for me having been consigned to it as the only single guy in a party of 5 ( 2 older married couples) plus me. (The Gran Bahama unit has 3 TV units I would have thought that would have been ok while on holiday Gary)
The tradewinds was a surprise, the first visit the food was great, the second visit was even better, but our 3rd visit was a bad experience, slow service and the food was cold and under cooked. We got it sorted with the Manager at the time but it certainly meant we did not choose to dine there again. (This seems to be a problem I need to sort out, we either get great reviews, see above, or bad, can only be down to staff on certain nights, will investigate with the General Manager Gary)
One last negative was the absurd closing time at the pool at the Main Clubhouse, to make everyone head for the pool at the tradewinds so close to the lake and all the mosquitoes is something that should be looked at. (this is the first time  I have heard of this, maybe this is so that they only have to man one bar, it would not make a lot of difference with the mosquitoes if you were at the restaurant pool or the clubhouse one, they do fly around, this is a problem in all of Florida and at certain times of the year are worse than others but The Resort has got a very good prevention program, spraying and sonic scarers  which seems to keep the numbers down Gary)
Other than that we have been signing the apartment and the resorts praises to all and sundry since our return on Saturday 2nd July.
Regards
Mark

Hi Kendall,
Sorry for the late response. To say that we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at Bahama Bay Resort would truly be an understatement. The place that we stayed at was very clean,spacious and bright. From the three swimming pools to the two bars,resturant, and beach it really is a resort experience.
As for the few negative things I heard about finding the resort and location I found it quite easy to find and the fact that it was off the main road I thought that was good in the fact that the traffic was bearable. In finishing I can say for a fact that on our next trip to Orlando, we will definetly be giving you a call.

What a great place! The apartments were clean, spacious and well equipped. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant and bars were great. We came to Florida planning to do lots, but the Bahama Bay was so laid back we found it difficult to drag ourselves away most days as it was such a chilled place to stay. Never mind, there is alwasy next time, and as I brought a condo at Bahama Bay there will e lots of those.

Hi Kendall\Gary
Ok feedback time.

The Booking €“ I had made enquiries with travel agents about a booking at the Bahama Bay but it seemed a bit to expensive on the agents price per person and so I looked at the Bahama Bay Website and decided to book with an owner. I submitted the enquiry and literally minutes later received a phone call from Gary with all the details. This was followed up with relevant emails about the apartment. The booking was made smoothly and with no problems whatsoever. So that€™s got to be 10\10 !
Travel €“ If your going to put a trip together yourself I€™d recommend Travel City Direct for a fly\drive. Good seat pitch €“ enough leg room for me at just over 6 ft tall and complimentary drinks throughout the flight
The Apartment €“ All I can say about this is that it was superb! We chose to stay in a Grand Bahama €“ 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms sitting area full kitchen utility room. More than enough room for our party of 6 adults (if you can call my kids and their partners adults €“ I sometimes wonder)
The apartment was spotlessly clean and in a great location overlooking the lake and woodland. Everyone on the site was friendly and I wouldn€™t hesitate to go back to the resort. I really can€™t fault the place another 10\10 for me.
Location €“ The location is excellent with numerous restaurants nearby and just a short drive to all the Disney parks and shopping areas.
Top Tip €“ This is my top tip taking into account the vast size of the road networks in this area and the fact that I have the navigation skills of an amoeba. Upgrade to Sat Nav on your hire car. You may think these things are gimmicky but once you€™ve taken a wrong turn in America you€™ll soon see the benefit of these devices. Worth every penny imho.
We had a fantastic holiday and would thoroughly recommend both the Bahama Bay Resort and the service offered by Gary and Kendall.
Thanks very much!

Hello Kendall/Gary
Just a line to give you some feedback on our recent holiday. As you know, we went with our son Matt, wife Tracy and their two children Lucy and Ben (8 and 5 years old. The Grand Bahama (1416) apartment was ideal for us and so very spacious. We all loved the decor, the amenities and the balconies which were big enough to sit out on (and listen to the frogs in the lake at night!!!).
We found the Resort OK but definitely think the Beeline Highway and then down on Highway 4 to the 27 is a more direct route and it is possible to do that in 30 mins. It would be far easier as well for guests arriving on a night flight. (we will update our directions, Gary) We found the Resort very convenient to get to all the Theme Parks and it was lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of Orlando and return to the peace of the Resort with its lovely beach and lakeside setting. We enjoyed our meals at The Tradewinds restaurant and found the service good. (see emails below about service to equal out, Gary)
Unfortunately, we were disappointed not to have a Welcome Pack on arrival but although you said you ordered it, the front desk said they had no record of it. Never mind! (this was a mistake at the resort and was our first one missed Gary) Everything else in the Apartment exceeded expectations - we thought the finish was superb and it was good to have our own washing machine and drier (but would add that it may be a good idea to tell guests it is not necessary to wash sheets and towels towards end of vacation - as we did! ) Must say it was lovely to have plenty of good quality, good size towels - so often it is an item that is skimped on and it is a low cost item so is a silly mistake.)
The pools and jacuzzies were all cleaned daily and well maintained. As we were leaving the children's paddling pool was really taking shape and all the paving around and shrubs/trees were planted. All that was left to do was to tile the inside of the pool and fill it with water. Also had climbing frames nearby and I think it will prove to be a very popular area.
The restaurants that we found to be extremely good value and comfortable were The Olive Grove, Key W Kools, Angus Steak House and, of course, The Sizzler.
We had an evening flight on the leaving day so we were able to pay $40 to extend the use of the room until 3pm which was helpful.
All in all - a most enjoyable stay and it was better than being in a private villa because the grandchildren had other children to play with when we spent a day at the Resort. When we return to Orlando we will definitely return to Bahama Bay - thank you!
Best regards Kate and Tony Green (West Sussex)

What can I say, fabulous resort and accommodation, will be sure to highly recommend it and yourselves.
The resort itself was clean, beautifully laid out and well kept, the on-site staff were all helpful and very polite.
Accommodation was lovely. Couldn't fault it at all, its the first time I've returned from holiday with no washing ...... which sounds 'sad' but it made a big difference having the laundry room! Everything was there that you needed to make the holiday run smoothly.
The only thing that spoilt it was the morning we we were packing to leave we have 2 or 3 people knocking on the door around 9am asking if we were going. 10am is quite early to check out anyway and when you have a 3 year old to sort out too, the last thing you need is to be badgered to leave the apartment.( 9 am is very early and I will discuss this with the management, it could be that they had a large amount of checkouts on that day and needed to get a lot cleaned in a short amount of time ,but you can request a late checkout to 11am  at no cost or a late one as above for an extra cost, Gary) However, on the whole the holiday was fabulous and I would highly recommend it (you that is).
Thanks once again. Kind regards Emma

Hi, Kendall!
Just returned from our trip to Bahama Bay and wanted to fulfill your request to give you a report on the accomodations.
First of all, thanks for being responsible and trustworthy. It is gratifying doing business with people with your work ethic. We were welcomed warmly, Our apartment was decorated nicely, it was clean, and it was well equipped. I think the resort itself could stand to be landscaped a little better, (Lots of our guests think the resort is beautifully landscaped, Gary) but when you go to Orlando to visit the theme parks, you don't really hang around the resort too much.
The only problem we had was that when we arrived in Orlando we went to the 3050 Michigan Avenue Kissemme address thinking we had to go there to register and pick up the key. That was a large waste of time and we were very upset- with ourselves, not you. Upon reading the Welcome Pack you sent us more thoroughly, we realized you had given us the address we needed to go to. I just had it in my mind that that was where we were staying, but that we had to pick up the key at the 3050 Michigan Ave.address. So, this was really the only problem we had and we created the problem for ourselves. Totally our mistake. (always look at the paperwork we send! all our guests pick up the keys at the Resort.Gary)

Anyway, we didn't let that keep us from having a great time. Thanks again.

Kendall,
We hand a brilliant holiday in Florida!
<The accommodation, booking process and resort were 'First Class' with easy access to the major attractions, shops and restaurants. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The essential shopping items left for us was very much appreciated after a long flight.
The only minor negative point I can make. Is noise from the AC units outside the bedrooms (No double glazing). Which may effect light sleepers. (This is only on the ground floor Andros units and is my first complaint but I will see what we can do, they have been landscaped with shrubs to help, and as they get bigger will help to reduce the noise Gary )
However, I can not recommend the Trade Winds restaurant. The food and service was very average and expensive. They also included a 15% service charge automatically.( see email above, as some people love the restaurant, I will publish the menu on my site soon to let people see the prices, they seem competitive  to me. Gary)

I will stay at the Bahama Bay on my next visit to Florida.

Hi Kendall

 We have recently returned from Bahama Bay and I must say I was very pleased with our choice to stay there.

 I found the accomodation to be of an excellent standard, spacious, well equiped, clean & well maintained. We had a couple of minor things with the apartment , a loose door handle for example, but these were attended to very quickly by the staff on site. The building work on the site was a little noisy and, if we had been spending all day by the pool then we might of been a bit disappointed, but all in all it did not detract from the holiday.(90% of the building work has been completed and is nowhere near the pools or beach, Gary)

 The staff were generally pretty helpful particularly the guy in the clubhouse bar area although the people in the information area did not seem particularly knowledgable about local restaurants to recommend etc. We ate at the onsite restaurant only once whilst we were there and the food was ok but not 5 star standard. I was a bit disturbed when the waitress was trying to serve my wife dessert from their selection while I was still eating my main course. They did not really seem to care whether we were all on the same stage of the meal and wanted to rush us along although it was not particularly busy. (I will speak to the restaurant manager to discuss this soon, Gary)

 The pools were clean and well maintained and seemed pretty safe for the kids, who enjoyed them thoroughly. My 8 year old son who found the saluting security guard on the gate very entertaining although I was a bit surprised to find that the security seemed to stop at around 11 and if we returned to the complex after this time the barriers wer open and no guard to be seen. (the guard will leave the barrier open while he does his rounds, Gary) These are only minor niggles and my family & I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bahama Bay and found it a good base for the usual Disney attractions. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Bahama Bay to any family wishing to visit the Orlando area.

Our stay at Bahama Bay was fantastic the Apartment was very nice spotlessly clean, we were able to choose the position of the apartment by looking on your web site which enabled us to be where right where we wanted, Our apartment was right by the pool which ment our sons had the freedom to go off to the pool when ever they liked without being too far away, we were also close to the Trade winds restaurant which we used frequently after a hard day at the parks this also ment we did not need to get back in the car. Bahama Bay was quite and beautifully presented. There were lots of other families there so the the children made lots of new friends. we will definitely be back for another visit. Kind regards

Dear Gary/Kendall
Booking direct with you was easy.Thank you for your welcome pack prior to our departure. We found the information useful.
You never know what to expect when you book direct however Bahama-Bay Resort was everything we hoped for.
My wife, son and I booked a two bedroom Andros which was excellent - clean, spacious and very well equipped. It was a real home form home. Our son especially like having his own room,TV and bathroom. The screened terrace meant we could enjoy a drink outside without being bitten. The welcome food pack was very much appreciated as we arrived in the evening.
We liked the fact that it was easy to get to both Disney and Universal theme parks from the 192 or I4, but when you did not want to visit a park the resort was an ideal setting for relaxing. It was peaceful, very clean and the grounds were lovely and well kept. There were three pools and plenty of sun beds. The views from the pool beside the lake were lovely. We however used the pool nearest our condo.
My son is a powerlifter so he made good use of the gym.
We ate in the restaurant the second night and the food was very good. The staff were efficient and friendly.
In fact all the staff we came into contact with, from the clubhouse to the security person at the gate house, were friendly and helpful. (see email below Gary )
There were supermarkets near by and a variety of eating places on the 192. All in all we had a wonderful holiday in a great location. We will certainly have no hesitation in recommending Bahama-Bay to friends and family. It was so much better than staying in a hotel as we did on our previous visit to Florida. We will definitely return.

Hi Kendall,
 We had a wonderful time at Bahama Bay! Your company did a fabulous job with the booking as well as providing us with an excellent condo. It was really nice and we had more than enough room for six people. We appreciated the small details that were provided like coffee/tea packets, dish soap, bin liners etc. The beds and linens were wonderful too!
 The location was nice because it was quiet and peaceful and away from the theme park crowds. The grounds were beautiful and everything was very well maintained. Your directions were perfect
The only thing I was disappointed with was some of the front desk staff. Some of them weren't very friendly and I felt like we were imposing when asking questions. On the day we checked out, there were more than six or seven people waiting in line at the front desk with only one person working.
There were several other people behind the desk just visiting so several people were a little upset.Gary ( see email above to equal out, we don't normally have a problem but must of been a very busy day and I will look into it )

 Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and I have told everyone how nice it was. I will definitely book through your company again. I appreciate all your help and professionalism! Thank you, Michelle Irvin

What a wonderful vacation we had!! We have done nothing but rave about the Bahama Resort since we returned. Arriving at midnight, we were not sure what to expect. What a delight to find security and registration both available and willing to assist us in any manner. The condo was absolutely beautiful and spacious! With four children it afforded us all the opportunity to move around and have our own space when we needed it. Imagine our surprise when we opened the refrigerator and found that it had been stocked with staples for the next day. What a wonderful treat to not have to run out early in the morning for juice, milk, cereal, etc. The pool and beach areas were wonderful. Never too crowded. Everyone was very friendly. The location was also great. Off the beaten path so you really feel you are in a tropical paradise, but close to stores and all of the major attractions. We will be back again.
