Frommer's Review

A sophisticated little hideaway about 3km (2 miles) south of Hope Town, Abaco Inn faces a lovely beach on White Sound. Compared to its main rival, Club Soleil, Abaco Inn is more of a resort. An informal barefoot elegance and a welcoming spirit prevail here. The inn is located on Elbow Cay's narrowest section, between the jagged east coast's crashing surf and the sheltered waters of White Sound and the Sea of Abaco to the west. From the cedar-capped gazebo, you can gaze out over the Atlantic's rocky tidal flats. Excellent snorkeling is nearby.

The midsize accommodations are arranged in a crescent facing the beach. They're set amid palms and sea grapes, and each has its own hammock placed conveniently close for quiet afternoons of reading or sleeping. Each comfortable unit has a ceiling fan, a bathroom with a tub/shower, white-tile floors, sliding-glass doors, and traditional furniture.

A modern, rambling clubhouse with a fireplace is the social center and the island's most appealing restaurant. Shuttle service is available from the airport, and boating and fishing can be arranged through the hotel.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; pool; bike rentals; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

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.
