It is sad to see this. I stayed there in 1990 when it was in all its glory, with an indoor shopping mall, a ballroom with someone playing a grand piano around the clock. The pool area outside was beautiful with palm trees all around and flowers everywhere, and a beautiful waterfall.. A band played for entertainment by the pool. The restaurant was exquisite with uniformed waiters and the rooms were luxurious and clean. All the walkways were lined with palm trees and flowering plants. At that time it advertised that it was the largest hotel in the Western Hemisphere. I couldn't believe how much ground it covered. Driving up to the front was a beautiful flower lined driveway that curved back around the front to the main road. I would love to go back to it the way it was then. It breaks my heart to see this way now.

This is sad!!! I remember staying here in the 1990s. I was a young girl on vacation with my family but still remember how beautiful it was and wanted to bring my kids. I had no idea it was destroyed.

I stayed a week there in 1990. It was the largest, most beautiful hotel I had ever stayed in at that time. It had an indoor shopping mall, outdoor pool area with bands playing around it, with a large waterfall. The ballroom had a grand piano with someone playing it around the clock. It was advertised as the largest hotel in the Western Hemisphere then, and it was. I couldn't believe how much ground it occupied and the number of rooms, all nice with a beautiful vegetation and palm trees lining the walkways and flowering plants everywhere. The restaurant was exquisite, with uniformed waiters. This is sad for me to see. I would love to go back to it if it were like it was in those days. I still have videos of it in all its glory then.

In it's hay day, my sisters and I and girlfriends made this our annual vacation destination for years. We sometime took the kids with us. Everyone loved Freeport. I loved the Princess Tower and the Princess Country Club. The Sultan's Tent was my favorite night club. It's so sad to see the destruction. I now vacation in Nassau, I love it there too, but it's not Freeport.

😁 In August of 1982 I stayed at The Bahamas Princess, but not the tower. I can't find any photos or videos. The hotel was white, 2 levels (Floors), Villas with a piano, had an interior lounge named The Cove. The Swimming pool was huge & designed like a cave with interior walkways & lit up with colored lights at night, so beautiful! I won the trip on the radio! Once in a lifetime treasured memories!

Thank you for sharing your videos of the Princess Resort and casino I have home videos of my young children running around the fountain and through the resort covered walkways back around 2005 time.. As I look at these videos you have and knowing at this very moment that hurricane Dorian has been sitting ontop of Freeport for 36hrs I can only Imagine what treasures this island will lose from this go around.

Good luck. The handlers are greedy and won't come to a resolve unless they benefit.

This video is like watching an Episode of The Twilight Zone. I cannot believe that the Princess Towers, the King's Inn, and El Casino are now in this state. All of these properties were economic engines for Freeport and its residents. To see them in this state is beyond emotion. It is too much to bear...how I remember all of these properties in their heyday! So many great memories of shopping, food, drinks, and most of all the Bahamian people!

It is unbelievable. Back in the early 80s to around 2005, Freeport was our annual vacation destination. The grandeur of the Princess Country Club and the Princess Tower was breathtaking. The last time we visited Freeport was in 2010, I believe, but we stayed in Port Lucaya. We saw firsthand the total ruin of the International Bazaar, the former Princess Country Club and the Princess Tower which was fenced off. We were going to walk to The Ruby Swiss Restaurant but since the property was fenced off we had to catch a cab that short distance. Most tourist to Freeport now are people on the cruise ships. They get to dock there for a few hours and they normally shop at the straw markets and sample the different restaurants or go to the beach. It's really heartbreaking to see the total devastation of this once beautiful place.

I believe this was the hotel we stayed at over spring break in 1973. It all seemed so grand back then. Very sad to see it left to crumble.

I stayed here with my family in 1973 when I was 5 years old. Howard Hughes was in residence on the top floor when we were there. Howard Hughes owned the hotel at the time. Hughes Trumpy yacht was parked out front in the marina and we were invited to board the yacht by the yacht captain and that was when we found out who owned the hotel and yacht. Here is a clip of Howard Hughes’ yacht. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsWEac2Sz6rLYWw.html
