a lot of people have been asking me christine i saw that you stayed at breezes in nassau bahamas
should i book that resort would you recommend it like will i have a great time
and my honest answer because y'all know i'd like to keep it 100 on this channel is maybe
it it really depends on what you're looking for so in this video i want to help you out
with things you can expect and things you should not expect from this resort coming up
and if you're new here yo i'm christine lozada with where in the world is cl and i make travel
videos every week to help you get up get out and go travel so if you like to travel consider
subscribing one of the things i just care a lot about is having the right expectations on a trip
so you know the good time you're expecting to have is the good time you get it's it's why i feel a
certain kind of way about talon but we're talking about nasa and this is an all-inclusive resort so
let's talk about that because my expectations were around open bar lots of booze and a lot
of food and let's talk about what not to expect about the alcohol the good news is you can expect
a lot of bars all around the property and really nice bartenders and really nice service but what
you shouldn't expect is that top shelf goodness in other words each bar has different selection
which is okay and the pelican bar which is the one downstairs open evenings only so 6 pm onwards has
the best selection in my mind and what i mean by that are things like johnny walker black instead
of jack daniels on the other bars or things like tito's instead of finlandia on the other bars but
tell me in the comments below what top shelf means to you to me it means having sparkling wine like
chandon onwards or having vodka like grey goose onwards and that just wasn't the case here which
is that's okay um i i ended up bringing my own wine i if you want other suggestions for food and
places to drink on the island make sure you check out my other video but i love young's wines or
700 wines but the selection was different everywhere and it's not exactly top shelf although
the bartenders are super nice and will happily pour you as much as you want to drink let's talk
about food because that's the other part of the all-inclusive goodness right we're all expecting
tons of food and you can expect to eat a lot of food if you want to it truly is all you can
eat but it's not very good in my opinion so let's talk about that i actually hold on i did like the
poolside grill they had some easy dishes like the jerk chicken and the caesar salad and they even
had fried fried wings as well those are all super tasty super easy dishes but when it comes to the
buffets like the breakfast buffet or the dinner buffet the lunch buffet it was just a total miss
the food didn't look appetizing it didn't taste appetizing i took the short walk and it's
literally a five minute slow if you're walking super slow in your bare feet or flip flops along
the beach to get to bahama and so we ate and even got our coffee over at baja mar so i loved eating
at pizza lab getting coffee at cafe madeline all that is in the video in the description below
but the food on the property wasn't the best they do have a few like specialty restaurants
when i was there they only had one restaurant open per night the resort was not very busy
while i was there and so when we were eating at one of them the asian restaurant it was actually
really really tasty we had all kinds of dishes we ate a lot of food but then i realized
halfway through the meal that this is really tasty because it's msg and then i felt like
crap for the next two days um and so they do have a gym on site uh that did help out a little bit
but i didn't have the best experience eating on property and don't forget this is my experience we
don't know if the a team or the b team is on staff during your stay versus my stay i'm just sharing
my experience but if you're finding some value in this video cheers that like button consider
subscribing and tell me in the comments below where else you're considering staying at because
i'm planning my return trip and if you want to see the latest price for breezes i have a link
in the description below that will take you to booking.com to see the latest and greatest price
but let's talk about the next thing to expect which is is this a luxury resort there is a stark
contrast between walking into bahama sls atlantis versus walking into breezes this resort wasn't
built recently it was renovated but it wasn't renovated recently and so this is more of like a
charming hotel which is totally fine if that's something you love it's something that i knew to
expect and it was exactly what was delivered and so just know that that's the type of resort you're
getting into when you sign up for breezes but the thing you can expect is really great location it's
right on cable beach it's a short walk to ba hummer so we could go enjoy all the things that
were over there and it's a beautiful beautiful beach you have goodman's bay park just on the
other side and while not associated with breezes you have the availability of going jet skiing
or you can go on to tours there's tons of outside operators that have that available to you if you
want different kinds of water sports and sometimes they even have events right there i got to catch
the dragon boat racing event that was awesome but you have this long stretch of beautiful
beach and that's what nassau is all about it's about enjoying the beach and i mean what's cool
about breezes is you have the pool and you can see the beach from the pool which is a really awesome
thing and so i actually in another video talk very honestly about things to do in nasa so link
to that in description below but you can expect a really great location but don't really expect
high-end luxury let's talk about the rooms again don't expect luxury in the rooms but you know
what you can expect air conditioning that works really well it was icy and awesome it gets so
hot in the bahamas so it was so nice to escape to the room and have really great air conditioning oh
you know what else is really good fast and free wi-fi and when i say fast i mean i was able to
record podcast episodes over zoom calls on video with no interruption so i was very happy about
that but in the rooms totally comfortable totally clean the cleaning staff is awesome i definitely
brought in a lot of sand into the room which here's something i definitely recommend if you can
get so there's two towers at breezes and if you can get the rooms that have access to the beach
what's cool is that it opens out directly to the sandy beach and you have your own table and chairs
and then you have your own dedicated cabana and you also have your amazing butlers coming
around serving drinks which is so nice but you want to know what else you should not expect
fridges unless you pay for it so in other words if you opt into getting a fridge into your room there
is an extra fee for that which is ten dollars per day and if you're like us dollars bohemian dollars
i have a whole video about tips one bahamian dollar is one us dollar and you can switch back
and forth between using them oh and here's another thing even though on the website it says that
gratuity is not necessary and is not accepted we still love to tip for great service so we tipped
out our bartenders and they definitely received and took it which is what we wanted this one is
good news here's something i didn't expect i didn't expect there to be a ton of activities
there's like a full activity board with things going on throughout the day like literally as
soon as i checked in and just oh let's do a quick walk around the property just to look we got roped
into playing beach golf and the activities team these guys are so nice they were super fun we
spent hours playing pool volleyball with them and they play jam and music they got dance contests
they got darts going they got all kinds of things going on it's a really nice thing so they have an
activity staff and the other thing they have stand up paddle we did that i mean again don't forget
you're right on cable beach it's so beautiful the actual area that they allow you to stand
up howl or kayak provided in is very small so you can't go super far but you can do these activities
and they also have things like indoors they have pool they have games they have all
kinds of things they do also have tennis courts pickleball courts a running track
and beach volleyball so those are also available to you and on that side there's also like a hut
a spa hut so just know that those are also some of the activities that you can do but one thing
not to expect is tons of entertainment mid-week so i was staying here midweek
i probably should have came on a weekend but but they had live music upstairs and
i oh i love live music especially the kind of music that they were playing it's totally my jam
but the thing about it is that the floors i don't know like their tile or something so the sound
is bouncing everywhere and it just maybe it's because i dated dj and i care a lot about music
and the sound experience but it just hurt my ears and so we actually did not stay for the live music
we took it elsewhere which is down to the pelican bar and on certain nights they have somebody who
plays the piano so you can do sing-along tunes but when that's not happening again the midweek stay
you can just enjoy the bartenders who are super fun and entertaining and will will take music
requests as they play it off of their devices there was hurricanes nightclub but i i just didn't
bother with it but know that that's available to you you want to know something else you shouldn't
expect kids this is actually kind of confusing because during different times of the year
they have different age restrictions so make sure you check the link in the description
below for your time of year i guess this spot is kind of like the spring break hot spot
so be aware of that if you are looking for a quieter or couples vacation don't do it during
spring break unless you like that kind of vibe which i i respect and support that you can expect
free parking i used it they have a free parking lot but if you're not driving which driving on
the left side is still very bizarre to me they do have taxis that are lined up and a going rate
for going to the airport from breezes it generally takes depending on traffic anywhere from 10 to 20
minutes super short but can cost you anywhere from 20 to 30 dollars depending on how many people and
how much luggage and if you're looking for helpful tips don't forget about that helpful tips video
that's available to you in the description below so would i recommend it it depends right if you
care about really great location check definitely got that one taken care of if you don't really
care about that top shelf or eating incredibly well made food then this is a great spot for you
i mean you also need a price compare against your other options right what's going on in bahama
what's going on at prices in atlantis i drop those links for you below so you can price compare
but it depends on what you're looking for and so for our stay again we were there midweek we
were there for a few nights and we got a room right on the beach and for me i cared a lot
about being able to catch every sunrise and every sunset and spending time on the water and sitting
on the beach and that was perfect so it was a good stay for me will i stay there next time
maybe not i don't know we'll see i most likely will stay at one of the other resorts i also like
to change things up because why not so i hope you found some value in this video if you did
share that like button tell me in the comments below your helpful tips or where you're
considering staying there are a few other resorts that got my eye on that i don't know a lot about
let's help each other out oral community i'll see you in the next adventure ciao
