Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina

Good marina

Right in the heart of Alicetown Bimini , great staff, people and location

Fine overall. Rooms as expected, restaurant’s food is good, but would take hours.

I spent too much money for the jet tub not to be working.

Great resort with convenient marina for your boat.

Location 👎

Cool

Loved the resort, staff was very friendly and accomodating. Restaurant had great food and service. We would definitely visit again.

We reserved a king bed room but got a double room. Staff doesn’t seem to care that you are there. It takes forever to get a drink (very expensive) or service at the bar.

1) LOVED having the property ON the water, watching the fishing boats and yachts come in and walking to Radio Beach for swimming and picnics. 2) LOVED the snorkel ship wreck / reef shark adventure with Captn Caleb and Bella. Absolutely a safe, bucket list type of experience! 5 stars. 3) LOVED the Mahi Reuben at the Conch Seafood Bar - staff was great! 4) Rooms were big, clean and spacious. 5) Great value for the amount of activities we did on property and around the island. Very convenient. Bimini is an adventure island full of great watersport activities (jet skis, diving, snorkeling, swimming, fishing)

Lovely huge room in the villas. Nice bed and very clean. Resort was quiet with large pool. Good food choices at hotel. Easy to walk to beach and sight see. Chloe at front desk was super. Rent a golf cart just few minutes away at gas station. Hotel store and pizza bar are a bonus.

very friendly staff, quiet cottage, pool, etc.

If you don’t want to pay $$ for the Hilton, this place is way better! You really get a Bahamian local feel while still being in a nice resort! 10/10 would stay again.

LOVE Big Game Club!!! The atmosphere cannot be beat & the convenience to the dive shop is the best. Loved our first floor room with the patio this time around. And thankful they took down the coconuts since we witnessed one falling (from a tree full of them) & almost hitting someone in the head last time we were here. No other complaints except that people do get rowdy here, which is fun, but needed my headphones to fall asleep one night since people were quite loud in the room next to us & the walls are not the thickest. The rooms could use some insulation in that regard.

It looks like they are updating the grounds if the property. Compared to a few years ago it is looking way better. Stay a ways to go but much improved. The main restaurant has excellent food. Waitress's can be hit or miss but most are good. Rooma are old. Need updates. Overall, woth the money

It serves it's purpose perfectly. It's a fishing hotel dedicated to travelers on the water. The dining options were great, lots of bars. Friendly and helpful staff. Felt safe everywhere on the hotel grounds.

Good

Few steps from the most beautiful beach in Bimini - Radio Beach. The restaurant is awesome. Fresh and tasty food.

Highly recommended and a good close example of Caribbean life 20 minutes from Fort Lauderdale

Loved staying at the Big Game! Everyone is so friendly and they paid close attention to detail regarding my stay! Dinner options from the executive chef were phenomenal from a fish fry Friday to prime rib Saturday! Nothing beats that! The pool area and outside sitting area were always pristine and checked on by attentive staff! I will definitely be back!

Nothing

Over all I’d stay there again.

First time in Bimini and I wasn’t expecting much when I booked the property but it definitely exceeded my expectations! Will definitely stay here again!

Friendly stafff, I love it

Overall great experience Amazing staff Pat she was excellent!!!

Nice place

Better than expected, cleaner than hilton rooms

We were upgraded and had a lovely suite with a large shower, separate living room and big kitchen. Easy to get around town, close to several stores and restaurants. Noise was not overwhelming.

Enjoyed our stay. Restaurants were good, with very friendly staff. (Destiny super nice) Centrally located.

Staff was great ! Super friendly and helpful. Would go back again .

Noisy, unkept, GM said the owner is a $3.2 billionaire and never shows up or care about the Property the staff is nice but the property is dirty and unsafe. I came to Big Game last time 10 years ago and it looks worse now.....goingto stay elswhere next time i come by boat

Was okay. Beautiful waters surrounding the property

This is a cute property…authentic Bahamas! We had a cottage and it was very tired! We would stay here again but it needs remodeling/updating.

Property needs update

Big Game provides just enough of what you need for a weekend of fishing in the Bahamas. Definitely more of the old Bimini vibe rather than the nonsense with the casino up north, etc.

Staff was pleasant and informative. Savannah was an excellent waitress. Property manager, Mr. Kappeler, very helpful and knowledgeable.

The staff at the reception desk was super kind and very helpfull. The room was very cozy, quiet, and clean. I had dinner at the restaurant and the food was just fabulous. The servers very kind and joyful as well. I am very happy with my staying. Thanks for all =)

Average older property

Sadly, Big Game Club is being mismanaged and lacking maintenance. It's literally falling apart. Too bad since it has a great history for the last 50 years or more. Completely disorganized and seems like ownership isn't spending any money to maintain or improve. Staff is very nice but, very understaffed and they have nothing to work with.

No water, and ac was broken.

The facilities are dirty and old. The AC systems are weak. The service is incompetent. They overcharged and would not refund. Awful location.

would not recommend

there was NO water in the shower!.

Sliding glass door would not lock for security & shower handle would fall off was very on maintained facility. Lots of vagrants hanging around trying to hustle you when you’re trying to get a taxi.

Close to the divebase.

Sub par, would not reccomend

beautifull property

Shocking hotel and I paid nearly $400 after taxes and fees! RUN from this hotel! I can not believe, nor do I understand, how this hotel received any positive reviews. It is a dump! My room was made of cinder blocks painted yellow, I walked down what seemed like a scary alley way to get to my room which was at the back of the hotel, (I reserved a poolside room) next to a fence draped in mangled fabric overlooking a construction site, the shower handle came off in my hand, the room paint and grout were peeling and dirty, tv quality was poor every channel was pixelated, miscolored, lastly there was no internet reception. Not the worst thing but when you have work to do, it's a problem. I felt like I was in a third world country on the opposite side of the planet. Lovely people on the island but run from this hotel!

Convenience and clean.

There was no Internet I was unable to do my work and they were ants in the room. I would not recommend this hotel to my friends

The resort is an older resort but it’s very clean and the staff is super friendly.

Great Room, bathroom new but shower doesn't work fine, price value is an expensive room

Excellent access to fishing resources, bait, tackle, ice etc. Great fishing year round. The resort is rustic. Well maintained, antique. But clean!

Marina is great and staff is super friendly including dive shop.

This place is great if you are a scuba diver. Other then that there is not much to enjoy. Sharky’s bar and grill on the property was the best food I ate on the entire island, if you are lucky enough to have Damien cook for you.

Beautiful view. Good restaurant. Excellent diving facility.

I loved that it was amongst the people who lived there. Loved the restaurant food and reasonable price. And the staff was spectacular.

This blace is central, on the water and takes care of everything from cart rental to diving and airport shuttle/ferry.

The area & location of the hotel, easy for activities and food shacks are great

Dirty. No water.

Pool area was nice. Rooms are old and outdated. Blackouts are a daily occurrence. Restaurant Food was good, but the service was absolutely comical. I kept hearing about "Bahamian Time" but these folks took their lackadaisical attitudes to a whole new level. They know their 18% is built into the check and they really could not care any less. I expected this butter friends were pissed.

Let me start by saying that I do like Big Game. The staff was very good and helpful, and the grounds were beautiful and the room very clean. However, we chose this place to stay at Big Game over the Hilton (which was cheaper) because of the free kayak and paddleboard rentals. They apparently stopped this after the hurricane but continue to advertise. This was a big disappointment as we then had to pay to rent up at the Hilton. The island is also having power issues - it went out several times a day for hours with no back up generator. Not Big Game's fault, but we later found out that the Hilton never lost power. No power made it tough to order any food for meals and communicate to home through Wifi. I would stay at Big Game again (the Hilton was like a Las Vegas Casino with no island charm), but please remove the free kayak rentals and reduce your prices accordingly. It was false advertising. They do have free bike rentals which was much appreciated.

No power toilet didn’t work Garbage cans wer full

Staff was very friendly but service lacking of attention in items such tv remote do not work, bath do not flush, phone do not work and so ......

We always enjoy staying at Big Game due to the laid back and local feel of the area.

The rooms are OK. Over priced. Could have stayed at the Hilton for just a few dollars more. I would have liked knowing that the restaurant was closed for remodeling. The staff really didn't care whether we were there or not. Glad to be back in the USA.

Location & conveniences . This location is did you go. I recommend friends and family that love the beaches & that enjoys seafood. I definitely will be back very soon

Cage diving with bull sharks and the great hammer!

Old school Bahamas Clean, convenient location, friendly staff, and great location for fishing.

The dive shop is in this property, very convenient. And the hammerhead dive is unique. The grill bar next to the dive shop is great. Electricity not stable, went off a few times in our stay. Water also been cut off for an hour. And they are remodeling their entertainment room during high season. Pool table, ping pong table etc. nothing available.

Big Game is an old resort, the first day the food from upper deck bar was fantastic, the second day there they closed it and started a complete remodel leaving us no place onsite but a grill after 100pm to eat very disappointed we ended up eating chips and salsa from the small market they have onsite. Staff was amazing and friendly.

clean big rooms. Nice restaurant. There was only one restaurant and bar that was open and the advertised 3. The restaurant was very expensive. The game room was bad. The pool table was all warped and games were missing pieces. The hotel was way overpriced for what you get. NO PERKS

Beautiful spot on the water. A little dated but hospitality and cleanliness were on point. It is a 3 star hotel in my view. The staff was really friendly. First impression is a little tired, but after a couple days it grows on you. The bar and restaurant are not gourmet, but they are fun and the fish is fresh.

Nice older resort. Pretty happy with everything. If your looking for the Hilton then stay there. This place has a charm and laid back feel that you can’t get at resort world. Upgrades are currently underway.

Excellent 100% recomend

The bar was very hot... More fans with water mist would be helpful.

Old buildings room was nice and clean Area around hotel is run down and dumpy gives hotel same feeling Passengers from other country in asia where not impressed Spend extra money and go to Hilton

Always love visiting. Excited to hear some basic upgrades are coming.

It was a great experience the staff was very helpful in getting us the things we needed to make our stay plesant

Staff were generally unfriendly and seemed annoyed to be working. Some were too busy on their cell phones to move from the main stairwell to the restaurant. The restaurant service and food were poor. Even the should-be staple Piña Colada was awful. Expect flies everywhere when you eat. Communication between reception and amenities (e.g., dive shop) are terrible. Misinformed on multiple occasions.

It was great. Only problem was our first room had a little termite problem. About the time the sun went down the swarming termites started flying around the room, haha. At least they dont bite. They quickly moved us to another room and we were all set.

The hotel Staff was wonderful! Great, fun place to get the local feel of the Bahamas. The cottages were great. Food was great!

My 2nd visit in 45 years, the hotel has a nice location, nice pool, good Marina, is fairly clean & the restaurant bar is good? Otherwise, the hotel needs major renovations. The 80 year old ambiance is falling apart, maintenance & major money needs to be spent soon or the Big Game Club will be History. A memory of the past, wifi in the rooms does not work, although my Cell phone worked. The ice machines are all broken, so walk to the Bar to fill up your ice bucket, many things are old, tired & don't work? My Balcony light, nope, Broken? No fridge in the rooms to keep your drinks cold? TV worked but fuzzy on some stations? Room Service to make my room up in the morning, forget it, might happen late afternoon, I let the front desk know twice in 1 day, to please have my room made up, it occured at 4:30 pm? The place needs a total top to bottom steam wash, then needs a total painting & repairs to the cracked & broken fixtures, trim, furniture & other details? After all i am paying $225 a night for the pleasure of this historical place, at one time a tropical Gem, but now dull & tarnished? Another thing, maybe skim the pool once a day & clean it. Get rid of the cold prison like concrete floors in the guest rooms, cover them with a light wood or tiles, fake wood or whatever, concrete just doesn't do it? Best way to visit the Big Game club is in the comfort of being onboard your own yacht moored at the Marina.

Good hotel ,good facilities In Bimini is one of the best hotels

We visit Bimini each year and always stay at Big Game. We don't normally have high expectations. However, we did notice a few concerning items on this particular visit. Those being structural issues with the buildings themselves. Various cracks showing exposed structural elements, lose boards over walkways, etc. We can definitely see that a remodel may be necessary and hopefully on the horizon if they wish to further compete with Hilton/Resort World. We love staying at Big Game and will continue to do so.. We just hope the building stays safe and intact!

DON'T SEE THE ADVERTISING EX;'NO JACUZZI,NO ICE MAKER,NO BIKES,MOPEP, MOTO OR GOLF CAR,NO REFRIG. FOOD EXPENSIVE $$$ ,LONG TIME WAITING FOR SERVICE IWILL GIVE:2.5 STAR

nothing wrong, all vibes and great people at this resort.

Upon check in, we got into our room and the guests next to us were having a conversation and felt as if they were in our room. Our initial room smelled as if it had been closed up and not cleaned for a while. I went down to the desk and they moved us, a few hours later bc it was being cleaned. The 2nd room was better but still far from comforting. At least it smelled clean. Felt better about the room but then... the safe did not work, the phone did not work, read the resort directory and wanted to order in-room service. Back down to the down to the front desk I went. I mentioned the amenities in our room that did not work, they said "we do not have in-room services"??? But your directory says it does and has 3 pages of items you can order? confused. Wifi was not working 90% of our stay. Which is totally fine to check out from our devices. However, when you have children/pets/family who cannot get ahold of you, they tend to get a bit worried when you leave the country and don't respond for 3 days. Back to the room: moldy shower curtains, musty smell, no fridge, non-working safe, non-working phone, non-working wifi, morning of departure there was no running water to take a shower or brush teeth, make sure to pull your door fully shut and push to make sure its secures. Resort: pool table was in poor shape, lots of random people hanging out by the pool and first priority in restaurant, very outdated overall! Positives: food was delicious, most staff nice.

The north ir the island is something else.

If you are going to visit Bimini, I would say this is the best option. Unpretentious with a nice bar and grill and cool shark viewing in the harbor. Convenience store is affordable and handy.

This place seems to be the real Bimini...lots of history...great access to the ferry to South Bimini and to awesome beaches. I hope that this place does ok through the storm...my prayers are with everyone as Irma nears.

Was enjoyable and relaxing, near local places and not commercialized. Pool area was good, at night check out sharks at dock.

We spent 3 nights and 4 days there, primarily fishing. Rooms were clean but very wet from the humidity. Had to set the acdown to keep things dry around there. Tried to move it up one night but things got pretty sticky and had to drop it back down. Hotel and restaurant staff were great . As good as it gets. We fished every day and ate at the restaurant each day, the food was great ! I look forward to coming back soon.i would highly recommend a stay at the big game club. Thanks to everyone who made my sons first visit at hit!

Room was horrible ac was leaking into the room causing it to smell bathroom door was broken one day my towels were taken and not replaced i got in after 10 pm office was closed had to dry myself with a wash cloth definitely not worth the money

Bimini's Alice Town where this hotel is located is in ruins. All buildings are either abandoned or falling apart, the streets are dirty and full of garbage and the hotel itself needs some LTD. The hotel restaurant is not clean, specially the flooring.

Good hotel to stay if you have a boat and if you want to experience the local flair of Bimini. Rustic but clean room and AC was excellent. Restaurant food was good & price reasonable, but service was extremely slow. Everything is slow in the Bahamas. Do not rent a golf cart unless you want to be ripped off. They need a Ministry of Golf Carts. They never reset the safe.

Very welcoming, all the amenities you could think of needing. Food was fantastic at the restaurant.

Had a wonderful time. The hotel staff was awesome and the place was clean and well kept.

Food very good. Hotel needs some work but still decent place

The hotel had beautiful grounds. The view from the bar and grille above is incredible. The bar staff are very accommodating and friendly!
