We stayed from January 17 through January 27, 2017.
,the first four days were OK. On the fifth day the entire feel of the resort changed as the Bahamas National Political Convention began and the hotel was hosting a very large group from the Progressive Libertarian Party (PLP). Once the PLP arrived the rest of our time at the hotel was very unenjoyable. The group was very loud and rowdy, pushy and just horrible to be around, in fact the entire last day of our vacation my girlfriend did not even want to leave the room because she was so sick of dealing with the people from the PLP in the common areas of the resort. The first night the PLP was there we had an incident at 2:30 AM when a large group of these persons congregated at the pool below our room which was on the eighth floor of the hotel and they were yelling and jumping in the pool so loudly that they awoke us, this went on for an hour without any intervention from anyone from hotel security or hotel management. We mentioned this to the hotel manager the next day and she thanked us for bringing it to her attention but stated that we were the only people who had mentioned it. Another night later in our stay we had another incident after midnight again involving people at the pool making noise and being disruptive. We called hotel security to complain and ask that someone tell those people that they were being disruptive to other guests. We watched three security guards walk around the perimeter of the pool area briefly but did not see them talk to anyone and they people in the pool continued to carry on for hours.
We also talked to other vacationers staying at breezes who were at Breezes before the PLP arrived and most all of them were very disgusted with the behavior of the PLP and the fact that the hotel did not care about the other people staying at the resort during this point. One evening we arrived at the buffet for dinner and there were two armed police officers at the buffet to keep the peace and calm. Overall the hotel management did a poor job of controlling these people and did not show any care towards the other customers.

The option for watersports: One of the main reasons we selected this resort was because it stated that they had windsurfing. We arrived on our first day and found that the watersports director had a windsurfing sail/rig set up and ready to go but they did not have the board. I asked them about the availability of windsurfers. They told me they had one windsurfer, but the board was being repaired and he had no idea when it would be ready. I told him I was there for the next 10 days and really would like to use the windsurfer. I spoke to the watersports manager every day and every day I was told the board was being repaired. This was incredibly frustrating because if you are a resort for one thing you should have more than one windsurfer, I have been to other resorts that always had multiple windsurfers at least 8 to 12 windsurfers, this was unbelievable. The other items available were kayaks and two hobiecats.

We stayed on the eighth floor which is the top floor of the resort. The main entertainment area and bar for the evening entertainment is located on the second floor with the piano bar being on the first floor. Every night the noise from the music and entertainment from the main bar was so loud that you could hear it in the rooms with the patio door shut and the television on until midnight, which made it hard for you to try to sleep if you had an early morning excursion planned for the next day. In addition, the Piano Bar was open until 2:00 Am and the people in the Piano bar would go outside to smoke and their conversations were so loud that they could be heard in our rooms again keeping us awake till the wee hours of the night.

Overall I will not return to this resort and was very disappointed in the services we received. I highly recommend any other location on the island. Our cab driver taking us back to the airport recommended the Comfort Suites near the Atlantis as a better option for our next visit.
