Hawk's Nest Resort & Marina Review

This remote getaway lies on Cat Island's southwestern side, fronting a long beach and containing its own runway for charter flights and private planes, plus a 28-slip full-service marina that attracts yachters. The intimate resort is set near the village of Devil's Point, lying some 16km (10 miles) west of Columbus Point close to the ruins of two once-flourishing but now-abandoned plantations, Richman Hill and Newfield. The clubhouse, the rooms, and the main house are all spacious and inviting. Bedrooms, with either two queen-size beds or one king-size bed, are well furnished and brightly decorated. They come complete with a patio for those late-afternoon toddies sipped while watching the sunset. If you bring the family, consider booking the two-bedroom house on the beach, which is separate from the other structures. The resort serves full cooked-to-order breakfasts, sandwiches for lunch, and a buffet-style dinner, with the unannounced fare changing nightly. A one-tank dive costs US$60; a two-tank dive is US$80.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; bikes; marina; outdoor pool; watersports equipment/rentals; Wi-Fi (free in clubhouse)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
