Not far away from the hustle and bustle of Nassau, but far away from it all set amidst an atmosphere of tranquillity and s tyle. Enjoy your open-air breakfast on the beachfront, explore the Bahamas the way they used to be, go SCUBA diving or snorkelling on pristine coral reefs, or laze in a hammock in the afternoon breeze under swaying palm trees. Relax with your evening cocktail at the freshwater pool, and be prepared for a tasty surprise in the cozy dining-room after the sunset.

ACCOMMODATION: All 20 rooms have private bath, small patios and king-sized beds, cooled by ocean breezes and ceiling fans. Some rooms also have air-conditioning. The hotel features a fresh water swimming pool, indoor/outdoor restaurant, lounge with bar, satellite TV & games, tennis, bicycle rentals, snorkeling and diving equipment, hammocks on the beach.

And after a day of diving or beachcombing, relax with drinks at poolside or in the wonderfully informal "library" and lounge/bar.

FOOD & DRINKS: The cookery of the Bahamas has been influenced by many cultures - elements of the American South, the Caribbean, Britain,Spain and Africa have altered the course of Bahamian cuisine throughout history. Tomato-based dishes, featuring local seafood and meat, and with seasonings such as thyme and spicy hot peppers, are frequent and popular main courses, whilst native fruits and locally produced rum feature in local desserts and cocktails. The Bahamian Kalik-Beer tastes delicous. The same is with the various Rum-Mixdrinks, like Bahama Mama or Goombay Smash. Excellent wines are from Chile, but also from California or France and Italy and Germany.
