What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Governor's Harbour Airport (GHB) in Eleuthera, Bahamas, generally receives mixed to positive reviews from recent travelers. Many appreciate the ongoing improvements and the friendly, attentive staff, contributing to a pleasant island arrival experience. However, its small size and limited amenities are frequently noted, though efforts are being made to address these.

What Travelers Love

Friendly and Attentive Staff: Travelers consistently praise the airport staff for being very helpful and attentive, especially with luggage handling.
Ongoing Improvements and Modernization: The airport is undergoing expansions and renovations, with a partially completed upgrade to the terminal that includes a bigger, newly decorated check-in hall and improved staff morale.

New Restrooms: Recent renovations have brought pristine and spiffy new restrooms, a significant improvement from before.
Convenient Location: GHB is ideally located in central Eleuthera, just 8 minutes from the capital, offering easy access to the island's attractions.

Common Complaints

Limited Amenities: A frequent complaint is the lack of amenities, such as vending machines or snack shops, especially past security.
Lack of Air Conditioning: While the waiting area post-security now has operational AC, the central AC in the check-in area was not yet working as of March 2024 due to power supply issues, leading to warm conditions during manual searches and check-ins.
Small Waiting Areas: The airport has small waiting areas, though expansions are promising improvements.
Variable Security and Customs Wait Times: While one source estimates current immigration wait times at 8 minutes and security at 28 minutes, travelers have reported waits of an hour or two for customs, depending on the line. Additionally, there can be staffing challenges, with sometimes only one immigration officer for many passengers.
Roads and Parking: Some roads leading to and within the airport still have potholes, and parking conditions could be better.

Governor's Harbour Airport, while still a small regional airport, is actively enhancing its infrastructure and traveler experience. The friendly staff and ongoing renovations contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, though travelers should be prepared for limited amenities and potentially variable wait times, especially during peak periods.
