Reviews: Bimini Blue Water Resort

Reviews Summary

The reviews for the marina highlight a generally positive experience, particularly praising the helpfulness of the staff, especially JR, the dock master. Many guests appreciated the convenience of the location for customs check-in and the nearby beach. The marina is noted for its friendly atmosphere and good fuel service, although some mentioned that the fixed docks could be rough and that there is no radio monitoring, suggesting phone communication instead.

Several guests enjoyed local dining options, recommending C J's Shack and noting the food at Big Game Club, despite it being somewhat touristy and expensive. One reviewer shared a pleasant experience of being weathered in for 10 days, enjoying local activities and friendly interactions.

However, there were concerns about safety, particularly regarding walking the streets at night, with one guest reporting a threatening encounter. Noise from nearby music was also mentioned as a disturbance. Overall, while the marina is seen as a great stop with friendly people and convenient services, caution is advised for nighttime outings.

Service was great. JR does a great job accommodating everyone. Fuel was good. Location was excellent for checking in. Fixed docks were a bit rough, but decent. No one there monitors the radio, so call on phone or just tie up at fuel pier. We stayed one night to check in and fuel up. Very pleased. Recommend you go left at road and take the right by the bank and go to C J ‘s shack for dinner. Big game was great food and the sharks were being fed by the fishing boats so cool to see but a little expensive and touristy. Beer is expensive, $58 US for a case of local so bring plenty. Locals really like Bud Light!
Overall a great stop! Friendly people and convenient.

We were weathered in for 10 days and really enjoyed our stay. Went to the local school an had our nails done for $10.00. The students were very friendly, had coconut bread from the market place.

Service here is ok. We went to Big Game Club for dinner and was threatened on the way back to the boat. Don't walk the streets at night. Not safe and no police present around town at all. Loud music starts at 10 pm and goes to 3am. Get in and out of this area fast.
