The $4 Billion Baha Mar Resort Is a Cacophony of Hospitality
Three years after declaring bankruptcy, the massive Bahamas resort complex is finally open—and business is booming.
From a balcony at the six-month-old SLS hotel in the Bahamas, there’s an expansive view of the main grounds of the Baha Mar resort: Clusters of palms, rows of sherbet-colored chaise longues, crisp white umbrellas, and slivers of turquoise pools. Beyond lies the beach and the ombré ocean.
It looks like heaven. And it can sound like hell.
