The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas

Not sure why this property hast a 4.1…. Our experience far exceed this; though, with some caveats. The Ocean Club is exactly that; a high end hotel with a club private atmosphere situated on a beautiful beachfront compound. The property is situated on the north side of Paradise Island. Though Paradise Island is busy (especially on the West End where the Atlantis is) the Ocean Club feels secluded and peaceful. The hotel is divided in to two separate types of accommodation… the Hartford Wing (original) and a Crescent Wing (higher category and newer). We stayed in the Crescent Wing. The room was very comfortable and nice. The construction is sound and we had no noise issues (other than some birds at night..lol). The Four Seasons is constructing a new residence club; though, it appeared this site was to the east of the Crescent Wing and divided by another already constructed condominium complex. From what I could tell, the construction is only in the land clearing stage. When it really gets going, I’d imagine there may be some residual noise if you’re staying in the Crescent Wing and utilizing that end of the beach. We had zero issues with noise. The OC compound has beautiful grounds, pools and gardens. There are 3 pools. The infinity pool overlooks the beach. The Versailles pool is in a lush garden area. The kids pool is hidden by the tennis courts. We utilized the infinity and Versailles pools and both had very attentive staff. Speaking of the Staff, we had an extremely positive overall interaction with the staff (other than as below). Pre-Arrival, the concierge was very helpful. Upon arrival, from the drivers, front desk, pool staff and house keepers, excessive staff, they were all genuinely nice and engaging. The beach is very beautiful and calm. Yes, the Atlantis is down the beach, but you feel like you are on a separate island on the beach at the OC. The beach is miles long and walkable. It was a really nice beach. The only negative interactions we had were with one beach staff member who refused to allow us to use a float (strange) and an atrocious experience with the front of house staff for dinner at Dune (Jean-Georges). The staff at Dune were dismissive and unengaged. They were too busy staring at their phones and iPad than engaging with customers and being proactive with the customer experience. Though we had a reservation, we were seated 1.5 hours after are reserved time. I would never return to this restaurant for dinner service. There are plenty of other nice restaurants nearby (Nobu, Cafe Martinique). As an aside, Dune is the onsite restaurant for breakfast. The service at breakfast was better; albeit, really slow. Would I return to the OC; yes. Would I eat at Dine for Dinner while there; absolutely not.

First, we cannot thank enough the wonderful people of the Bahamas; a truly welcoming and magical culture. The Ocean Club embodies that same culture and elevates the experience to true paradise. The wonderful people of the Ocean Club could not have been more professional, helpful, gracious, thankful, inviting, fun, creative......the list is endless. Our Butler Team was beyond exceptional, and singlehandedly took our experience to the next level with their hospitality, friendliness, event coordination (private boat, golf, dining reservations, poolside chairs) and professionalism. Thank you Levi, Prince, Ramesh, Chavez, Calvin, Ron, Roy, Mannix, Chrysanthia, Valdon, Devaine, Keith, Jeremy, Reshaun (I apologize for any misspelling on those!) and all the amazing people of the Ocean Club. Regardless of occasion, this is the place to visit. However, we were celebrating our 10yr anniversary, and the Ocean Club went to great lengths to help us celebrate with daily special, little surprises along the way. The room was perfect, with very attentive and respectful service. We cannot say thank you enough to all the truly amazing people of the Ocean Club and the Bahamas.

From the moment we arrived at the Four Seasons Ocean Club to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we were in for something truly special. This resort seamlessly blends timeless elegance with the laid-back luxury of the Bahamas. The grounds are stunning lush, manicured gardens inspired by Versailles, complete with marble statues and serene reflecting pools. The ocean views are breathtaking! Our room was the epitome of comfort and class, featuring thoughtful touches, a plush bed, and a private terrace overlooking the sea. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the service overall was warm, personal, and five-star in every way. Dining was another highlight. DUNE by Jean-Georges offers world class cuisine with Bahamian flair, and each meal was a memorable experience. The Martini Bar and Lounge inside the historic Hartford Wing was a perfect place to unwind! The Four Seasons Ocean Club is more than just a resort, it's an escape to a world of effortless luxury and natural beauty. We left completely recharged and already dreaming of our return.
