But you can get a burger and fries at the GHP poolside or at restaurants within walking distance. That's not a thing at GHBM.
Wasn't that a yeshiva week special that the hotel has poolside service?

As far as year round kosher within a resort, I could see Aruba  getting something. They already have traction (Google Aruba Hell Week).

No, GHP has year-round poolside service and more substantial breakfast and lunch options than GHBM.

If he thinks the prices at Cinko are high, the kosher that is onsite there (a "huge factor" of his) is going to make him cry.

While there are a bunch of cheaper places that are within walking distance, they're not "onsite."

Ooooh, didnt know there are other nearby options. That changes everything. But your rave review makes me at least wanna try it. As long as I can have my peasant food

For the record, I'm ok paying for something i'd enjoy. I just typically enjoy the simpler stuff.

There is no peasant food at GHBM.

Have someone MN make a guest of honor booking for you. You'll get globalist benefits
I think if there is one place where you won't starve it's the baha mar  ;D

Globalist kosher breakfast?
Open Cinko for lunch?
Kosher waiter service at the pools like the GH Playa has?

Seems to me like there's no food option for a Simple-Sam like me who wants a nice big burger or a nice Rib Steak on the bone with fries. or a falafel,  a slice of pizza, calzone for lunch. s
i was just reminded that there is a simpler kosher room service menu, maybe just get food to your room like a pastrami sandwich or chicken salad? https://www.jewishbahamas.com/_files/ugd/c92502_8ba5ca60ac3d4d07af0b7c6f02d66e23.pdf
also during yeshiva week they had a bbq every day with just burgers/hot dogs etc not far from knosh, depending on when u go they may have that again.

Cinko for Lunch, even with a drawn back menu or Sushi at minimum would be great!

They had a Kosher Breakfast this year for Yeshiva Week. No one went of course because all the jews had free breakfast at regatta. So they stopped allowing people to check what is and isnt Kosher for that week in Regatta. I think they are done with Kosher breakfast there as there is no demand for it for payment. They even stopped the bagels at Cafe Madeline

I was there the week after when there was no kosher breakfast, and they were unhelpful and nasty when I asked to see hechsherim for the bagels and cereal in Regatta.

Probably, Yeshiva week hangover. I heard they were much better, starting a couple of weeks after that. But they were instructed not to help at all, at some point during Yeshiva Week. (In the beginning of Yeshiva week they actaually had a printed paper with everything that is kosher)

P.S. I was going to use nasty in my OP but I did not want to sound entitled, but "nasty" is definitely the correct word

They were nasty to me at regatta last week, and I told the F&B manager it's something to keep in mind.

Hopefully, when they have 3 meal options fully kosher it won't be such an issue in the future.

Btw we talked about how they sold steak for breakfast during Yeshiva week and it was a bust, so I helped with what Jews actually want to buy.
