Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina

What a delight this place was after days on a cruise ship. Treat yourself. We popped into here via shuttle and cab (only $5 per rider) after a fantastic shark snorkel next door with Neal Watson Dive Center. Lovely to have a true island flavor, relaxing on the water by a marina with a local beer. Table mate said it was an incredible mahi sandwich (it was thick!). The fries were great, there were vegetarian options, including an impossible burger that was juicy and not overdone … I added guacamole; no cheese. Service was prompt and very friendly.

I did not stay at the hotel, but the feed places are great! The service is friendly, the prices are reasonable. We had breakfast and lunch there. The French toast -chefs kiss. If you're in Bimini, I would recommend this place. They accept cash and card. There are several food options and they are all nice clean, island vibe restaurants. There are great ocean views of the beautiful Bimini water!

The accommodations here were pretty much everything we needed, minus a mini fridge and microwave, for our fishing vacation. There was a store right on site for extra sun shirts, Gatorade, ice, and snacks. I don't know if they sell bait, we brought our own. I also don't know if they store large catch for you, we stored our own in coolers. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The location was great, close to customs and immigration. They had carts to load and unload the boats. It was easy in and out on the boat to get to fishing spots or snorkeling spots (though be aware the current can get strong through the docks); very close to the Sapona wreck and honeymoon harbour (a must see, bring bait fish or squid to feed). They also had a dive company on site that will take out tours for dolphins, sharks, and more (some activities have a 6 person minimum, and make sure you're in season if you want to see hammerheads). We chose not to do any shark feeding but the staff was still helpful letting us know where we could snorkel on our own to see some toothy locals 🦈, plus we did see nurse sharks, a bull shark, and a tiger off of the fish feeding dock. My only gripe besides the lack of fridge/microwave, which for us wasn't really even that big of a deal, would be that the pool table needed updating, and service was slower at the restaurant than what were used to in the USA, but you have to remember that A) this is island time, and B) I see people complaining about prices but aside from fresh catch everything probably has to be imported, so you can't expect things to come cheap, and it's not unusual to see gratuity already put on the bill. It's the resort's way of guaranteed payment for their staff and I see that as fair, but we tipped anyway.
