Lovely resort with exceptional staff.
The hotel manager actually visited each unit every night personalty to ask how things were going, even the Ritz Carlton or Sandals don't do that! Our garden view studio cottage was a complete well equipped, comfortable unit only steps from the beach set in a pretty cottage court style community. Fridge, microwave, sink, small love seat and dinette and deck out front. There was limited housekeeping to avoid personal contact which was appreciated. Towel ex[... read more]change is offered whenever you wanted. There is an indoor games room with a pool table, ping pong table, poker table, books, table games, large screen tv and reclining sofas, if the weather isn't great or in the evenings.
The hotel has a very good restaurant on site and offered a very good breakfast menu. Including bacon, sausage and eggs and more even though we were on a continental breakfast plan. Regular meals and bar service as well. portions are generous with take out offered so you can eat back at your cabin. We often split a single meal. Pizza is great as well.
The beach is beautiful with shallow water in a calm bay and neighboring secluded beaches easily walk able along the shore line. Lots of water toys available for free use, paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks masks and fins and numerous floats all free with your stay.
My one and only negative comment about this resort was a lack of beach chairs and loungers. Maybe seating for 10 on the beach. You can bring your lightweight deck chairs down if you like. The pool is small but quite nice right on the beach beside the restaurant.
The resort is about 3 km's from Georgetown and easily walk able although sidewalks are rare. A free shuttle can take you and pick you up as well. Shirley's restaurant is 10 minute walk down the sidewalk toward town for a good meal off site. Going the other direction about 10 or 15 minutes walk is an ice cream shop (Candy's) and just past it is Tori's cafe. The food in Exuma was always exceptional with generous portions!
This is a laid back destination . There is not a lot of the usual touristic things on offer but incredible beaches, people , food and water activities. A couple of guests had rented there own power boats for there stay and headed out daily. Take the water taxi over to Stocking island ($20)to pet the stingrays and if your adventurous hike the trail over to the other side. There is a water crossing to navigate, at high tide it's about 6 feet deep but not far.
