Taste of Paradise Reviews

Thank you for sharing your detailed review of your 3-week stay at A Taste of Paradise. It's great to hear you had an enjoyable experience during your business trip to the Bahamas. Here are a few thoughts based on your feedback:I'm glad the accommodations provided a quiet, clean, and safe environment for you to relax after work. Having friendly and helpful owners/staff really enhances any hotel or rental experience. The secure gated entry with a welcoming staff is also a nice perk that adds to the sense of safety.Your tips about needing a rental car to get around to the beautiful beaches and incredible local restaurants are very useful for future guests. Thank you for highlighting some of your favorite dining spots like Bahamia, Kyma Seafood Grill, Southwest Diner and Cafe Channing Noelle & Patisserie. It's always great to get personal recommendations.Getting to experience the lively Junkanoo parade at Atlantis is the cherry on top for immersing in Bahamian culture during a visit. What a vibrant celebration to take in.Overall, your review paints A Taste of Paradise as a wonderful home base for exploring the best of the Bahamas, especially the world-class beaches, cuisine, and cultural events. I appreciate you taking the time to share the highlights and tips from your stay to help others make the most of their visit.

You have the nerve to review this property and give it a 1-star when you completely overstayed your time. You booked the first 7 nights for two persons and tacked on another seven nights the day of your checkout. We would have already made the contracted cleaner aware of your check-in and check-out. You insisted that you do not need the place clean. This illicit skepticism is due to the tone in which you responded on the phone. You were prepared to book another 7 nights and this is when we realised that you had in excess of 10 persons sleeping and occupying the unit. You should be ashamed of yourself. I will ensure to let all property owners around know of your plans. I am sure this is not the first time you would have done something like this.

This review is hilarious. It is obvious you did not stay at this property. Air conditioning and mobile charger policies described are far from the truth "Anonymous". You are required to turn off the air conditioning units when leaving the property. It is like turning off any other devices when leaving your own house. You are also required to unplug the mobile chargers when leaving or not in use to prevent fire.I will not continue responding to this review. an 8 out of 10 after all these ill things is testimony to your honesty.Thank you.

Thank you Tal for allowing us to host you and company. We are pleased that you did find some pros with the unit. It is unfortunate, however, that the cons you pointed out are, for the most part, superfluous. We did refill the body wash/shampoo. There was more than enough available and it serves both purposes, if only you had asked. In relation to the check-in, while we tried to accommodate you for 3pm, please note that check-in was and is at 4pm. I was at the unit way before 4pm. We operate a Townhouse/vacation home. There is a super market next door. While we, from time time, provide detergent for our guests, it is the guests duty to purchase their own detergent for doing their laundry. at no place in our amenities did we promise detergents to guests. As it relates to the road and flooding when it rains hard, we do not have control over the roads. They are public and administered by the policy makers. Not sure why you would include this in a review of the property. The water pressure on the islands are generally provided through the government water company and is not the same pressure as you would tend to become accustomed to from where you are. I know it is your first visit. You will realise this fact the next time you decide to visit, and possibly another property.

It was truly a pleasure to host you. Thank you very much for allowing to us do so as well as to take the time to share your experience with us. You are most welcome to stay with us again. Regards, Steve & Yolanda

It is unfortunate that even in reviewing our property the deception still exist. We did not rent the property to a Susan from New Orleans, rather, the property was booked by Lakeina Bonaby of Nassau, Bahamas for Two (2) persons. Reservation was made on January 13th, 2020. We responded to Mrs. Bonaby on January 17th, 2020 at 6:13pm. Our response was read on January 18, 2020 at 10:10pm. We did not receive a message from Mrs. Bonaby. The guest was checked in on February 28th, 2020, after 4pm by management, signifying that communication did take place, but more importantly, that property procedure information had been read and agreed to. Management was told that the booking was secure for the guest and her Husband. We were told, further, that said husband would arrive after 12am, and, as such, a couple friends will keep the guests company until husband would have arrived. The friends did arrive after 8pm, after the guest would have left. We refused security clearance for the friends since we were not sure who they were and had not received any word from the guest as to their arrival without the guest being present. On arrival, the guest entered the gates with two friends. Two cars were parked in the driveway. Before 9pm, the cars increased to five and twelve guests. We called the guest as a reminder, to explain again that the property was booked for two and is listed to accommodate a maximum of five persons. And, as described on the property page, we do not host events. While on the mobile phone talking to the guest, the security gate called requesting entrance for an additional two cars. We refused clearance, mentioned it to the guest and asked that the matter be addressed. Much to our surprise, one of the cars that was already present, left, got the additional persons, half-an hour later, three persons, in attempt to hide from the cameras on the outside, entered the property from the car, fifteen minutes later, in a similar maneuver, another four persons entered the property. We were surprise at the obvious deception demonstrated by professional adults. It is inexcusable and against human decency and respect for adults to behave in this manner. We, with the help of the police, rang the doorbell. The police explained that this is a private, gated community and gathering of this kind are a security risk. We asked Mrs. Bonaby, in the presents of the police, to have the other persons, by now, that have grown in excess of fourteen, to leave the townhouse and the premises. They refused to. A discussion ensued as to their rights. We waited until twelve in the morning for four persons to leave. There were ten other persons in the townhouse. We have started circulating this information to other properties in the surrounding area. Ensuring that property managers are aware of Mrs. Bonaby and her intentions. Security cameras on the property are obvious and are there to protect the interest and security of our guests, our property and the surrounding community

Thanks for the review. We love that you liked the place and what we offer. we really appreciate your feedback. The Notes regarding the air condition and towels are there due to past experiences. We agree, it is not for all guests. We do, however, had guests in the past who have misuse the towels, resulting in repurchase and have left the air condition units on all the time, even while the unit is not occupied. We have had to be servicing the air condition due to past guests leaving the room doors open. Each unit cover a certain square footage. Overuse will lead to overworked and malfunction. It is necessary to remind persons of these things. We, since the signs have been placed, have not had any issues with towels or air condition. It is a necessary precaution. Not just for saving electricity cost. Again.. these may or may not, at all, apply to any guest but it is necessary for sanity. You would be surprise what guests do with the towels. Thanks again. We will look into the security gate issue. We agree. A sticker would solve the problem. Kindest Regards Steve & Yolanda
