Bimini

[luis02]

I spent a week on Bimini in late March 07. Bimini Big Game Resort is easily the best all around resort style place on the island, north or south. From the Big Game, everything in Alice Town on North Bimini is in walking distance and it is centrally located and the staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Ask for "The Naughty Room"; you'll be glad you did.

Bimini Sands sucks, Sucks, SUCKS and the developer Frank Cooney is a sh!tweasel. When we went over to South Bimini to check out how things had changed since my last visit in April 03, it wasn't lookin good. Trash was blowing around, weeds were poking up everywhere and it was a ghost town. THis was on Saturday, their busiest day of the week.

Also, don't cheap out. Rent a gas-powered golf cart at Big Johns next to Weeches. Its the best way to get around town, about $80/ day that time of year. Big Johns is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights for island entertainment. They have the Calypsonians playing there ever since the tragic fire that burnt the Compleat Angler to the ground a few years back.

Feel free to email me for more advice.

I'm going to have to disagree with you. I've been staying in Bimini Sands for over 6 years now. I've stayed in the Big Game, Sea Crest, and Bimini Bay. I still prefer the Sands...and for several reasons.

The Big Game is a pain to dock in. I don't have a problem with it because I've done it a bunch of times, but it's not a very family friendly place IMO.

Bimini Bay is like being in South Beach. SUCKS

Sea Crest... pretty spartan.

The rooms in the Sands are roomy, and IMO has the best docks along with Bimini Bay. Also, it is the closest to the fishing grounds and open ocean. The rooms are VERY nice, and it feels much more "homey" than the other places. Also, the places themselves are on average much larger.

Is the Red Lion Pub still on Bimini? I recall they used to have great ribs.

I used to spend a great amount of time at Bimini Bay before it was Bimini Bay. I suppose I should try to make the run down from Freeport one day to see how different it is.
