Freeport, Grand Bahama Island – Recently the Grand Lucayan Resort hosted a team of international  journalists to the island for a five-day familiarization trip. The Bahamas Weekly News Team had the chance to connect with three of travel writers on Saturday September 6th to hear first hand their impressions of Grand Bahama Island.

Rob DiPano with CaribJournal.com said that the highlight of the familiarization trip for him was the visit to Gold Rock Beach. DiPano went on to say that Grand Bahama is of interest to the readers of the Caribbean Journal because it is an optimal place for families and even younger travelers to visit.  

Desirae del Campo, managing editor of Recommend Magazine
of Miami Lakes, Florida described Grand Bahama Island as an awesome family destination that is great for weddings and honeymoons and fabulous for people who love nature, Bahamian life and Bahamian food. "The hospitality is great, and Bahamian people are very welcoming" she said and she praised Grand Lucayan for amazing grounds, food and service.

Violet Baron, a freelance writer with Travel Alliance based out of New Jersey favoured the Garden of the Groves and described it as beautiful and relaxed with an atmosphere that doesn’t exist where she comes from.
