French Leave Resort, Autograph Collection

Wir waren zu unserem ersten Jahrestag dort. Wir waren so aufgeregt über unseren Aufenthalt. Definitiv kein 5* Hotel. Sie zahlen den Preis, aber die Dienstleistungen sind weit entfernt. Zimmer gleich, nicht auf den Punkt! Das Personal im Restaurant ist sehr süß, Rudy ist super! Allerdings kann man das Gefühl haben, dass es einen allgemeinen Mangel an Schulungen gibt. Letzten Tag wurde mir ein abgelaufener Saft serviert. Luxury Collection muss Luxus sein, kein 4 * Kommt nicht zurück!

Ich war im März 2022 im French Leaves Resort, als ich auf der Insel ein Wohltätigkeitsrennen Bahamas Hope Challenge für Krebs veranstaltete. Während des Rennens habe ich die Goldkette meines Großvaters im Hotelzimmer entfernt und das Personal hat sie gestohlen. Würde es nicht empfehlen, wenn Sie mit Wertsachen reisen.

If you are looking for excellence,, pink sands and ultimate luxury getaway, look no further. Luxury resort without the hustle and bustle of Nassau. Truly delightful. The villas are well represented online_spacious and clean. The food on the property was so good other island visitors flock there, and the staff was the absolute best. As travelers of luxury resorts and hotels—-this place tops the staff of Four Seasons. They were very attentive, accommodating, professional and went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. I would like to shout out to Nick who took care of us at the beach, Donovan, melissa and Keio. And the managers Karell Cephus and Wayland Adderly! The staff has sold us on booking another trip, the beach and the water simply sealed the deal! If you want a luxury experience where you can enjoy this beautiful island, I would highly recommend it.

From the communication leading up to the trip to every detail while on vacation, the staff at the French Leave Resort couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The villas are positioned perfectly over the beautiful Caribbean waters (with incredible sunsets) and golf carts are provided for the short ride across to the beautiful pink sand beaches on the Atlantic ocean (also gorgeous blue water and with incredible sunrises!). The French Leave Beach was stunning, and never more than a handful of people on the nearly 2 mile stretch. The location is perfect - just a short walk into town (highly recommend the local fish fry festival every Friday). The food at the resort (1648) was all delicious! You could eat dinner with a perfect view of the sunset. The resort has free paddle boards and kayaks to take out and enjoy the water. Highly recommend the French Leave. We would definitely stay again if/when we return to Eleuthera!

Outstanding service— one of the best experiences because of the team. Shout out to Karell and Nolan who made our stay so very special. We were upgraded to the two bedroom villa — full kitchen, laundry, patio with beautiful views. Hard to walk into town bc no sidewalks. Cabs can re preordered but be sure to have lots of cash— they don’t take credit cards. Not a lot around the hotel but perfect for lots of rest and relaxation!

Husband and I just returned from a combo honeymoon/birthday trip. First time to Eleuthera and French Leave. Echo-ing all the positive reviews here -- hotel is fantastic! Beautifully appointed, large modern villas, breathtaking location on the Caribbean Sea with golf carts to drive to the unreal pink sand French Leave beach on the Atlantic. You pay a premium for service, and FL delivers in spades. From the front desk to the hotel manager, to the pool and beach staff, and housekeeping, the service is truly what makes this place magical. We traveled alone and thought it was perfect for couples. Food is excellent and fresh, we ate at 1648 several times for BLD - welcome drink is excellent! Do what others recommend -- hit the local grocery and load up on drinks/snacks, pack the beach cooler and enjoy. Eleuthera is a gorgeous, remote, safe island and we are looking forward to returning and staying again in FL. Thank you for such wonderful memories! Other. Restaurants: 1648, Tippy's (so fun!), Buccaneer, Friday Night Fish Fry in Governor's Harbor Excursions: We did a kayaking tour in the south which was awesome with Eleuthera Outdoor Center - highly recommend Other: Bring cash, taxis and some places only accept. Not a lot of places accept Amex. Food is expensive (like, really expensive) for tourists and locals alike so just be prepared for that. Would recommend renting a car, preferably an SUV. Main highway is paved, but many other roads to beaches are not.

We travel quite a bit as a family — this was the most remarkable welcome and overall service. The team truly make the experience— shout out to Karell and Nolan. Beautiful location and views. Walking into town is not as easy because there are no sidewalks but we managed. Not too many restaurants in the area but the team helped set up taxis etc. Bring cash as the cabs don’t take CC. Overall, a great stay!

Ahhhh is exactly how we feel when we first step foot on to the French Leave property. This was our sixth year/visit and we're already planning for another in 2025. We prefer the slower pace, peace and quiet of the Bahamas Out Islands. We also love the warm and personable people. After six years, we feel we know them well -- Wayland, Karell, Kizzy, Torez, Jaced, Melissa, Kelly, Kendall and Keio are absolutely wonderful people, and impeccable service providers. It would be easy to have all meals at 1648 -- the food is very good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We do, however, like to explore off property, too, and there are several local restaurants on the island to try. You need a car to explore -- even just in Governor's Harbour. I don't recommend walking along the highway. We use Stanton Cooper for rentals. Karell and Kizzy can help with all rentals (car, boat) and suggest day trips and boat captains and adventures (well worth the effort). The perfectly kept waterfront villa we enjoy provides a kitchen where we can keep and prepare snacks or wine, a charming and comfortable living area and large en suite bedroom. It's nice to arrive, unpack and comfortably enjoy time there. Some of the waterfront villas also have washer/dryer units which, after coming from a different island, is quite handy. We spend time on the front porch every afternoon admiring the view. Almost every sunset is perfect. We've stayed there when boats are at the dock and when the dock is empty ... it always feels private. We appreciate the opportunities to see the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic each day! Both are beautiful vistas. We laughingly (sarcastically) say it's just another crowded day on the beach -- most days there are just a few people.

We are Marriott Titanium Elite members, so we travel a lot and, honestly, this was one of the best resorts we’ve ever stayed at! I’m so glad we found this place and can’t wait to return again. The setting was incredibly quiet and tranquil. The villas were comfortable, well-appointed and we had an amazing view of the ocean from our villa #22. The French Leave Beach was stunning with only a handful of people on the huge stretch of beach on even the “busiest” of days. The close proximity to Governor’s Harbour airport made getting there easy. The food at 1648 was delicious, especially the fish tacos! But, more than anything, the people were so warm, and the service was impeccable. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and at home. What blew us away was when, one night, we were talking to Sheera, our server, at 1648 we got on the subject of how much we love rum cake. She said her aunt owns a bakery (Cravings in GH, check it out!) and that she would bring us some. Of course, we didn’t think she would and certainly didn’t expect it. Sure enough, at 8am the next morning (on her day off, mind you!), she was at our villa with two huge slices of the most delicious rum cake we’ve ever had. We were so blown away by her kindness and generosity! Will definitely be returning to French Leave soon!
