French Leave Resort, Autograph Collection

I wanted to go back and write this review. My husband is lifetime titanium and they gave us an upgrade so we had two connecting rooms and a pool that was private for us. The resort provides a golf cart so you can drive to the French leave beach across the road. Be aware the road is ill maintained and full of bumps. The beach is lovely and the resort staff will bring you chairs and towels in the evening you may be the only person on that beach which is true luxury. We found the food at the resort mediocre but service was great. In general the food at the island establishments we tried was average. Eleuthera is not commercialized so don’t expect lots of shopping areas which is actually what makes it so alluring. Also remember this resort is an hour drive from the airport so a rental car is a must.

Absolutely Devine. We enjoyed our stay here tremendously. Breathtaking waterfront view that just kept on giving. Infinity pool. Golf cart came complimentary with our room. Perfect for frequent excursions to the coveted French Leave Beach and Twin Coves. Great workout facility and beautiful dining accommodations. Every seat able to take in that unbelievable view. Expansive bar menu with highly capable bar tenders… and their iconic Welcome drink is absolutely TDF. Bonus -they had live music during our stay, a very talented singer and band. For activities they also offer complimentary paddle boards and kayaks. They allow fishing off the docks, my husband caught a few varieties of grouper. Our cottage was expansive, everything we could possibly want and more. I cannot speak highly enough about the staff- every single person from the manager to the landscaping crew. Nicest, friendliest people- we enjoyed interacting with everyone. We are definitely interested in coming back again.

Beautiful view, accommodations, lovely room. Thoughtful touches in the room.. bathrobes, amenities. Spectacular view!!! Can NOT say enough about that. To our utmost surprise our cottage came with a golf cart for our personal use. Not sure if we actually need to use it- property is modest- but it’s there. Workout facility is on point, more than adequate. Comes with all the basics- roomy. Most exciting are the kayaks available to use at will. Lovely infinity pool and heated spa. Though oddly the pool water is heated almost as warm as the spa. Restaurant onsite is a 2/5 for the food. Music was wonderful. But the Food- NOT recommended. Everything else- thumbs up!

I thought I had posted this back in July! My kids (7&10) and I had the most incredible experience at French Leave. Keshan, Karrell, Kizzy and Wayland all took care of us! We had a two bedroom oceanfront villa that was gorgeous. The kids loved their meals as did I - the chef did an amazing job accommodating my shellfish allergy. We were there for 6 days and went to the beach every, single, day. So much fun and such an adventure with the golf carts. I disagree it’s not a good place for kids - it just depends on the age of the kids. I think for ages 6 and up it’s great. It would be tricky less than that - only one smallish pool and lots of hazards. Personally I’m not a fan of huge resorts - if you are - this is likely not the place for you. If you want endless jaw dropping beauty and to disconnect with your toes in the sand - it’s for you 💜 I agree the service in the restaurant was slow sometimes, but our room service was almost always within 30 mins and always delivered with a smile. I never waited more than 10 mins for our pool drinks or snacks. And honestly - you are not there to rush! We did an incredible private boat tour up at the north end of the island which was a fun adventure for the kids. Yes go get some supplies at the market - and keep your food in the fridge. Normal for a tropical climate - there are critters all around. I also packed some mac and cheese ;) Burrows was best in my view for the markets. The staff were all amazing! From the prep emails to dealing with issues for us onsite. I can’t say enough. We will be back for sure!!!!

Excellent

This place is for you: *IF you can adjust your attitude * Island time rules * you like quiet, serene vibes *want to unwind and relax Lean into your island flow and this place will be peg for you. Use the bug spray provided with abandon! We loved our villa, spacious and clean. We loved our view. We loved the beach. As Marriott Titanium members we received “free” continental breakfast which we did each morning. This does not include gratuity (mandatory 18%) and tax. So we paid, 15$ or so dollars each morning for our “free” breakfast. Service is hit and miss and you will be quick to discover who’s who. Beautiful resort. We Will be back. Personally, our kids are grown now, but I wouldn’t bring small children- I have been around the world and definitely more suitable places for our small friends.
