Tradewinds Restaurant

"Beautiful pool and lakeside lounge setting (credit to the developer), but one of the poorest managed operations I've seen/experiend in decades. Understaffed (good people, perhaps need more training), long wait times for getting seated, drinks and food (45 mins for chicken fingers/fries), even on a relatively low traffic evening, and overall sub-medicore food. The sense one gets is that it's not being managed by an owner, someone with 'skin in the game', who lives by servicing customers and making a profit (run more like a state government agency, non-profit or library). Turns out it's run by Vacasa (the vacation-rental company), which has a terrible reputation in all things management, and supposedly this is one of the few restaurants they've been entrusted to run. The Gran Bahama board would be wise to help themselves and perhaps rent the space to an experienced restaurant operator who would care about customer experience and have "skin in the game"."

"This is the quintessential poolside resort cafe. My favorite is the fish and chips. The staff are really friendly and efficient. This place has really improved over the last year or so."

"Enjoyed staying here and this bar was a fun laid back bonus. I had the chicken wings and they do not disappoint. Highly recommend! #pintsforksfriends"

"Trade winds is convenient for those staying at Bahama Bay. Burgers are good as are the salads. Pizza is mediocre. Live music on Saturdays is fun until the guests take the stage in my opinion. The bar drinks were not that good. Unfortunately, they suffer from lack of help. Mike waited on us the first time and he was awesome even trying to take care of too many customers."
