Cooper's Castle is among the most iconic sites on Grand Bahama and is set on one of the highest points on the island. Take a tour of this fascinating estate, discover the rags-to-riches story of its owner and enjoy dramatic views over the island from its second-floor balcony. Admire the castle’s grand blue-and-white exterior, designed to resemble a European medieval castle. Built in the 1980s, the castle is the residence of local businessman Havard Cooper. Towering over the southern side of the island, the building stands four stories high and sits on 46 acres (19 hectares) of land. The property also encompasses a pretty orange grove as well as an elegant mausoleum where Cooper’s late wife Doris Minette is interred. Look at the castle from the nearby roadside. With advanced arrangement, you can also take a guided tour inside the building. The castle has been partially opened to tour groups since 2014 and also regularly hosts weddings, parties and other events. Tours last for 45 minutes and offer visitors a rare glimpse of the castle’s interior rooms. Learn about the life of the castle’s famous owner as you explore with your guide. A native of Grand Bahama, Cooper is said to have been so poor when he was a child that he had only one pair of pants. An ordained minister and published author, Cooper gained success over the years by helping to bring franchises like Burger King, Pizza Hut, KFC and Pollo Tropical to the island. His story of success is much loved by locals and his castle is viewed as a symbol of the wonderful achievements that people can make through hard work. Follow your tour guide through the building’s lower-level foyer and up to the second-floor balcony. Bring your camera to take a few photos of the view from the balcony, which overlooks the entire island and extends outward across the Atlantic Ocean. Cooper's Castle is located in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island. Get here by taxi or car. ## Plan a trip to see Cooper's Castle Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,001 reviews) Stay: November 2025. Like most places, there were pros and cons. Pros: Beautiful beach and ocean views, fun activities like kayaking, archery, snorkeling. Activity staff was very friendly and engaging. Enjoyed the pool side activities and appreciated the hard work they put in throughout the day all the way through the night shows. Bar staff made good drinks and were always friendly and approachable. Cons: Property could use a refresh. Unfortunately photos in listing are for members-only rooms and the other rooms were dated and lacked adequate lighting. Food was just average aside from Viva Cafe. Some front lobby staff lack customer service. When setting up restaurant reservations, you have to reserve by room number, and # of people in your room. We had another party arrive a day after and could not add them to the reservation until they arrived and had a room number...not a problem. It was very difficult to add them the next day and guest service person seemed very annoyed she was being asked to do so. Got to the restaurant that night and they were not on the reservation. They eventually agreed to seat us but again seemed annoyed at doing so and their service towards our table was noticeably less than the other tables throughout the evening. Come to find out the other room was reserved for a completely different time than our reservation so there was no attempt by this person at guest services to try to add another room to our reservation.

(60 reviews) The entire staff at the Marlin was in a word "Phenomenal"! Traveling the entire Caribbean for over 50 years, we find the Bahamians the most friendliest people ever! We love the interactions with them as they always are quick with a smile, and making you laugh. A special "thank you" to K,C. who works the front gate security as I had the privilege of talking to and learning so much more of the history of Grand Bahama Island! Thank you all so much, we will return.
