Port Lucaya Hotel & Marina

While “Port Lucaya Hotel & Marina” is not currently in business, the establishment that previously held a similar name, the Port Lucaya Resort & Yacht Club, also officially ceased operations on August 31, 2009.

It’s important to distinguish between the former hotel and the location itself. The Port Lucaya Marketplace and the adjoining Port Lucaya Marina are very much active and remain popular, bustling destinations for tourists and boaters on Grand Bahama Island.

For travelers wishing to stay in this lively area, there are several excellent hotels available nearby. The two primary options are:

  • Pelican Bay Hotel: This well-regarded hotel is located right beside the marketplace, offering guests waterfront views of the Bell Channel Bay and immediate access to the area’s shopping and dining.
  • Grand Lucayan: Situated just across the street, this large resort property is undergoing a monumental transformation. Following its sale in May 2025, the Grand Lucayan is set for a complete overhaul as part of a massive $827 million redevelopment plan. This project involves the demolition of the current hotel to make way for an entirely new, world-class destination resort.

In summary, while the Port Lucaya area continues to be a top destination in Freeport, the specific hotel that once shared its name has not been operational for over a decade.
