Grand Bahama’s Old Bahama Bay Resort to Reopen

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 7, 2016

The Old Bahama Bay Resort and Yacht Harbor in Grand Bahama is set to reopen later this month.

The planned debut on Dec. 19 comes after Hurricane Matthew caused devastation across parts of the island in October; the resort had been closed since Oct. 6.

“Old Bahama Bay was fortunate that no major damage was inflicted by wind, rain, or storm surge to the condos or Dockside Grille,” said John MacDonald, President of Old Bahama Bay Resort and Yacht Harbour. “Now that island power and water have been restored, we look forward to once again welcoming resort, hotel and marina guests.”

In the meantime, the hotel has completely renovated its pool, along with adding a new guest shopping deck that will house local vendors and a tourism booth.

The hotel has also completed minor renovations to the Dockside Grill restaurant.

The 72-room property has a 72-slip deep water port-of-entry marina with on-site customs.
