Bell Channel Inn Hotel & Scuba Diving Retreat, Freeport

We came back as we stayed here last year. Jeanie is very welcoming and helpful; ordering us taxis for shopping & the airport. They provide a coupon for a free drink in the bar for all 3 of us and the restaurant serves great food quickly. The room C-1 was lacking as there was a very small weak stream of water in the sink; however the shower was fine. And we only had 2 sets of towels when there are 3 of us. No beach but nice view of harbor & Lucayan Marketplace.

The location was good. It is walking distance to a beach and Port Lucaya Marketplace. A slightly longer walk to Taino beach if you want to go there (local fish fry and party every Wednesday at 6 pm). The facilities were decent and good value for the price. The shower head was a little short (I'm 6'1"), angled away from where one would normally stand while showering, and couldn't be readjusted. The light switches were tricky to use. Sometimes they would get stuck, sometimes they were easy to use. The convenience of having a restaurant right upstairs was a nice option. Though the service was inconsistent, the food was pretty good as long as you're not expecting fine dining. The front desk staff at the inn were fabulous. Some of the other hotel staff were a little rigid and condescending but had good intentions. There were some great opportunities through the hotel for tours and events around the island. Would stay again if there weren't any affordable options closer to the beach.

The people were very friendly and helpful. Only one neg the bed was very uncomfortable hurt my back.

We’ll be back and we’ll bring our friends!

One night stay to be near the Lucayan Marketplace before flying to Nassau. No beach here, but we had been at the beach for a week. Very friendly and excellent service especially from the front desk.
