My stay at French Leave was amazing, despite the hiccups encountered on property. There were outages that affected several villas and I was moved to another villa, after encountering some problems. There were issues with wifi and cable issues that stemmes from the service providers. These were my only issues as I sometimes like staying inside and relaxing. The beach at the property is gorgeous and the resort gives you a golf cart upon checking in for getting around. The food at the restaurant on property was excellent and the staff are very attentive and hospitable. I would stay again.

Service excellent
Room and facilities clean
GM helpful and friendly
Paddle board was fun easy and included
Registration team helpful and friendly
One dining option (1948) restricts variability of meal time
Wifi spotty prevented some work access
Gym nice but both treadmills broken?
Would be helpful to have non dairy options for coffee… almond or Soy or oat milk
This is NOT a French Leave comment but…. Most flights into ELH not GHB makes drive to/from airport very onerous. Any feedback that been given to airlines / govt about this would drive more traffic to French Leave

Loved the French leave. Rooms were very comfortable with nice balconies overlooking the water. The beach is across the road but they give each room their own personal golf cart. Friendly staff. Very relaxing.

There is nothing compare with this place. I came for my fifty’s years celebration. The hotel is wonderful, the food is excellent. The bread pudding is the beast.
The beachfront is incredible.
This is like traveling to another planet.

Excellent Hotel / Weather wasn't great though
We just returned from French Leave last week - the hotel and service really were excellent. Our room / cottage was lovely, newly renovated and perfect for our 4 night stay. Clean / safe / enticing. The weather in January isn't great in the Bahamas, so be warned - it was cool, windy and raining on most days - of course this isn't something the hotel can control, however we wanted to go into the hot tub and it didn't work. The pool and ocean were too cold, so we wanted to go into the hot tub but it barely hit 80 degrees (water temp). It was VERY disappointing. When we are paying so much money each day, I'd expect and hope that the hot tub would work. It didn't seem like this was a new issue, but every guest who we spoke with acted like they were told it just broke too. All of this being said, management offered us free breakfast, so we appreciated this greatly. But still, would have LOVED to be able to use the hot tub!!

Amazing hotel property, beautiful location and rooms are exquisite. All the team is super friendly and nice, only bear in mind when in the Caribbean, need to get used to Caribbean times as your requests may take a bit longer than expected.
