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.
It wont be an issue if they give it free, if they dont, people would rather have ceral, milk, fruit etc. for free

I have a meeting with the Food & Beverage manager at the Baha Mar in 30 minutes.

Anything I should call out?

I plan on pushing for kosher breakfast.
Cinko:
Kids menu should be allowed for adults
Or they should also have some American options on the menu for picky eaters.

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.
Didn't think anything was kosher there. Though they had a huge selection of treif food.
   Ended up snatching some fruits back to the room to have.
 Tried getting the front desk to offer a $100 voucher in total for 2 of us to use in Cafe Madeline. But with a few day stay and them telling me we'll get back to you, I kind of gave up on my hopes.
 Though I had some managers call me back which I missed the call though.

Seems like easier to book something in advance. Hotel website has groundwidgets.com which seems pretty decent for $75 round trip

I’m currently at the Baha Mar. I got a driver from www.letsgobahama.com for $30 each way from the airport.
I emailed the hotel ahead regarding Kosher breakfast for globalist and they gave me a $40 credit to Cafe Madeleine.

I asked a random taxi at the airport for a price and after the first 2 told me $40 and $35, the 3rd one brought us for $25

Plus for the way back to the airport they go by the prices listed at the hotel which says $22

I responded to the pre-arrival email from Fernando.Santana@hyatt.com. Will update tomorrow about madeleine, but I think the credit is for any dining.
